A herb to help with fertilisation - Alternative Medicine Message Board

I am quite a bit overweight and am losing weight. My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant. I know that be fat can make getting pregnant hard cause of your hormones being out of wack from being fat. Does anyone know of a natural herb that I could take to help make me more fertile? I know you can take clomil (spelling?) to help, but I would have to go to the doctor to get it and the doctors here in the country that I live aren't very helpful to women as I have learnt since moving here. Thanks!

Evening Primrose Oil helps. Take it in the first half of your cycle only. Take about twice what the bottle recommends. Also, it sounds like your issues might be because of PCOS if you are overweight. Check out the boards on that. If your problem is PCOS, then Saw Palmetto is probably going to help you, and a low carb diet will do wonders for you (PCOS is usually an underlying insulin problem).

Good luck! I was infertile, no cycles at all, and I finally got dx'ed with PCOS. I'm now cured, thanks to natural suuplements and the South Beach diet!
