If anyone wanted DHEA supplements (pure - not homoepathic) I have a quantity I no longer need.

Interesting...2 years ago I would have been at the health food store with this list - good for you for doing this research, I know how long it takes to read all about the different ideas re: TTC. And, no, I don't have the magic recipe...just took Plan B which really I would name Plan A+ because B sounds like 2nd best and DS is first best for us!

I wanted to throw in that you really should make sure that you don't take anything that may impact another health issue - I happened to read in the doctor's office just today that royal jelly shouldn't be taken by someone with asthma (I think it was asthma - I don't remember because I'm no longer taking it and I don't have asthma).

Also, you may want to limit plastics from your life - yep, plastics - BPA, PVC etc. These are endocrine disrupters and many people believe these have a huge impact on fertility. And not only plastic containers but also CANS of food - yep, lined with BPA. Note, this is very hard to do as canned tuna, tomatoes etc. are all sold in BPA lined cans. It's rather scarey. And to the extent that you can find organic food and can afford it, I'd throw that in.

I think you also should throw into your recipe - a whole lot of patience and being kind to yourself! AND don't forget that there are things that the sperm-person should be doing and taking.

The asthma/royal jelly thing is because asthmatics are more likely to have serious allergies to bee products
