I had done 6 IVF cycles and TTC for 3.5 years and was on a break when we conceived. For around 4 months I saw a Naturopath instead of doing IVF. We spent the first two months seeing her taking vitamins and making changes to my diet. The next 2 months we charted my cycle and she started me on a herbal tonic that I had to take twice per day. On the second month we conceived. I was waiting on AF to arrive so I could call my clinic to make a start on my next cycle. When I was already a week late, I did a HPT and it came up with a BFP. To say I was in shock would be an understatement!
I have done 3 IUI cycles and 2 IVF cycles. We officially started cycling 5 years ago, but before this we were sorting out other issues as we are using a donor (which took some time from a psychological perspective).
The last cycle was an antagonist cycle and I think this made all the difference as I am now pregnant.
Well, we had been ttc naturally for nearly 5 years before we started fertility treatment. we got our BFP on our 4th cycle & there was a couple of things we done differently. A family friend is a chiropractor & he told us that he had quite a lot of success with TTC based on chiropractic work. I saw him for about 8 weeks prior to our BFP & he said that I was one of the most 'un-alligned' he had seen in ages!! i had never related chiropractic work to TTC but after seeing him & googling there is a lot of info out there. He advised (warning TMI) that once I got 'aligned' I would have a period that was quite 'clotty' & that this was a good thing as it meant that things were working. I had this 'clotty' menstrual cycle prior to doing IVF which we achieved our BFP. The other thing, though I can't remember where reading was to take vitamin B. Hope this helps & good luck to you all
