Mona, I personally don't believe that they do help. Some may disagree with me. It is also probably not a good idea to combine herbs and IVF but that said, I have had acupuncture whilst undergoing IVF treatment. I just didn't take herbs at the same time as they may interfere with the drug regime. Vitamins to assist in the maintenance of good health are another thing.

As I said, it is just my opinion but I wouldn't be giving natural therapies more credence over something that is more likely to work because it addresses the problem directly.

I had one IVF cycle after having my endometriosis treated and got 11 embryos. Two were transferred and nine were frozen. On that first cycle, I conceived my son. I was 37 at the time so I was pleased with the result. I think if I had kept trying with herbal remedies I would still be trying today.

It is your decision ultimately but I feel I should be very frank about this subject as I think that when it comes to problems with conception, the more targeted the treatment, the greater the chance of success.
