This is how I got pregnant after 2 years of unexplained fertility and a miscarriage.

For reference: 34 years old (had baby at 35), normal BMI, no health issues, all fertility testing came back normal, including good sperm analysis for husband. 3 failed <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a> trying both Clomid and Letrozole. After those failed I needed a mental and physical break. I was going to fertility acupuncture for three months, and taking the following supplements (my acupuncturist asked who my herbalist was, I said I didn’t have one, just did a lot of research!) She confirmed this supplement regimen of all OTC vitamins and supplements:

-prenatal with iron and high amount of folic acid

-400 IU vitamin E

-1000 mg L-Arginine

-200 mg CoQ10

-1000 mg fish oil

-450 mg Vitex

-1 baby aspirin

-Maca

-60 mg pycnogenol in the evening

Additionally I read Taking Charge of Your Fertility — while I felt I knew everything already in the book, it helped me realize that paying attention to your EWM is THE MOST IMPORTANT THING. During that time, BD as much as possible multiple times per day if your partner has a good sperm count.

The month after I took a break from <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a> following these guidelines I got pregnant. I did notice implantation bleeding, just a tiny light amount which surprised me because I thought IB was a myth. I took progesterone suppositories as well.

The other thing unique to me was a slight thyroid imbalance found right at the time I conceived, so I was prescribed 25 mcg of levothyroxine (the lowest dose). Which I took during my pregnancy.

My baby is now 10 months old! Back on here because I’m planning to start ttc again soon and wanted to share what finally worked for me after over two years of suffering.

Do the tests — including your partner, have your thyroid checked, take the supplements, read the book! EWCM IS KEY.
