    I fell pregnant twice with the help of naturopathic herbs. unfortunately I miscarried the first time. I went off the herbs after that, but when it was taking a while again, I went back on them and fell pregnant within a few months. I needed them to help with my low progesterone levels and a short luteal phase. I also tried acupuncture, but that didn't work for me. A good friend had success with acupuncture though. Just remember that the herbs take a few months to work. I will definitely be using them again next time round. Don't want it to take another 2 years like it did this time.

    I tried Ruth Sharkey herbs. They didn't work.

    Satya, I have heard of her she is in the gold coast I think. They only do internet based stuff now as they got so busy they closed down their clinic or her niece took it over or something like that. I really wouldnt do it over the internet as everyone is different and one set of herbs isnt going to work for all. Hopefully the naturopath here can help me.

    I did the Ruth Sharkey herbs over 10 years before she retired & it went on the net. It was mail order back in those days and there was a huge amount of questions to be answered before you got anything sent out. I found the mixture really hard to swallow as it tasted really bad (I'm very fussy). I gave it a go though as I was very desperate at the time and she had such a good success rate. Just didn't do anything for me.

    Wow 10 'long' years I bet Satya! She does seem to have a good success rate from what I have read, another thing to invest all our hope into! I dont do very well with bad tasting things either, I find it difficult. Thanks for the info though, I just wish there was a magic pill for all of us TTC! LOL!

    Hi Blayz

    I do acupuncture and Chinese Herbs through Shen Therapies in Brisbane, the guy there is really great and the herbs come in a capsule so dont taste like anything!! Has definately helped regulate me and given me pain free periods for the first time ever.

    I am hoping for some success... have just started doing acupuncture and chinese herbs.... not sure if they will work as i am not sure if i am the problem or DH!! (We are seeing a f/s in 3 weeks time to find out if there is a problem, 12 months TTC and i have had 3 m/c's in total, but i wanted to have a go at the natural stuff in between, just in case). Will let you know if it works!
