Hi,
Congratulations on your BFP.
I was reading one of your replies and saw that you used a herbal tea when TTC and it worked. Do you mind sharing what sort of tea, how often etc.
Thank you so much.

Hello!
Here is my copy and pasted answer since so many people have asked about it but I think most are afraid to actually try the teas. My belief is if you have tried everything else that Western medicine has to offer, why not go natural?
Ok, here goes:
I had a free consultation with the Caribbean herbalist (I am from the Caribbean but live in NY) and paid $100 for all the herbs that he suggested. I only had to go back once in the 4 months to fill the "prescription" for like $10 so I think that it is really affordable.
The herbs that I got were either dried leaves, powdered roots or tree barks all of which I was to make tea with and drink daily from CD1 to O. The three teas I drank were mandrake root, blue vervain and false unicorn. I would drink 2 at night and 1 in the morning and rotate them.
He also gave me a whole body cleanser which I was to do before I started with my teas. And I also had a womb cleanser which I must say was awesome especially post miscarriage - gross but wow!
I must add that in April the first month that I had the teas, I drank them religiously and that month I felt myself ovulate - first time I got that feeling. But since doc said that it was too soon to TTC after the m/c we avoided.
In May, we went on vacation and so I was not as deligent about the teas even though our timing was spot on, I got a BFN. In June, I also did not drink the teas daily, I have no idea why, I guess I was losing steam. But for the cycle in July, I drank each tea daily exactly how I was supposed to and again I felt myself ovulate and soon after got my BFP!
The website: www.sundialherbs.com You can probably compare prices here. It is strongly recommended that you consult first him or his son who is the one whom I met and who is awesome. The consultations are free during the week or $100 for Saturdays. (Ya know if you want to make the trip to NYC). He has herbs for almost every ailment under the sun and the lines are so long at 9am, they run out the door and then they tell people who come in at or after 10 am that they cannot have a consultation since it's just too many people.
Good Luck!!
