Many women assume that getting pregnant will be fairly easy once they start to try. Unfortunately, infertility is a growing problem. We read about women in their 30's and 40's who are unable to get pregnant, but infertility also affects women in their 20's as well. Doctor's immediately start to focus on drugs and expensive procedures to help these women conceive. Women who are unwilling to use drugs as a first step or who have been using drugs and technology and have been unsuccessful, should not give up. Fertility herbs are a time tested way to increase a woman's fertility and regulate ovulation and female hormones in order to conceive.
Fertility Herbs are not as concentrated as the chemical drugs proscribed by doctors. You should expect regular daily use to increase fertility gradually over a period of two to three months. In women older than thirty the time period may extend to six months or more.
FIRST STEPS
1) Healthy Habits: Before starting fertility herbs, women should make sure their habits are conducive to having a baby. Alcohol, cigarettes, and fatty foods are the first things that must go. Mild exercise helps get the blood flowing and can help reduce weight which may be stopping you from conceiving.
2) Physical Signs: Get to know your body. In order to use the correct herbs for infertility, it is helpful to have some idea of the problem you are trying to correct. Chart your temperatures to find out whether you ovulate, whether your luteal phase is too short, and which hormones could be a problem for you. There are many books that can help you start this easy process that I can recommend.
