Hello,
Pardon bandwidth and you can tell me that this is the wrong forum, I'll totally understand, but I don't know where else to begin my search. My husband and I have been trying for a several years now to conceive, it just seems like the natural way hasn't been very effective. I've been very disappointed in the past with the healthcare providers I have met with. So I'm wary of just going to any ole doctor. I need someone who is going to take my concerns seriously. If anyone has any names of people I should contact please message me on or offlist whichever feels more comfortable to you. I'm only asking here because I know some of you have worked with doctors and then just delivered at home with a midwife. And again if you feel like I am totally out of line just tell me, and I'll understand if the moderator decides to delete my post. If you feel there is a more appropriate forum to take this to please just let me know. I live in the Seattle area. Thank you.

Tue, January 8, 2008 - 8:31 AMi think some of the ladies (past or present) over on the pregnancy ups and down tribe have had fertility troubles. I believe there are alot of Seattle / Portlanders over there as well. Might be another good place to ask.

Tue, January 8, 2008 - 10:26 AMAcupuncture can be very helpful.
There have even been Western studies on the subject that have shown significant improvements in fertility rates with acupuncture assistance- and you know those studies are done hoping to prove that Eastern approaches to things aren't valid.
I have seen my old migraine pattern fade to nil, my poor appetite & digestion improve, the recurring nerve pain in my back go away, and my menstrual cycles get more comfortable and regular with just occasional acupuncture visits.
Best wishes! -

Tue, January 8, 2008 - 4:54 PMI moedrate a group (fairly quiet lately but we've been meeting for almost 8 eyars) on yahoo!groups called TTC_Naturally. you might want to check it out.
I was infertilie for 17 eyars (plus...kind of wanted one after that)...and learned a lot about natural approaches to fertility issues. a lot of the other women in the forum have a wealth of info too, and we have a good crop of "graduates" who went on and had babies...
come check us out!

Wed, January 9, 2008 - 6:31 PMI would also recommend acuptuncture. Very much. Herbs are also very helpful at achieving the desired outcome but it's very important to work with a trained herbalist as some can also be harmful. I personally worked with blue and black cohosh when trying to concieve, but those can also be harmful to a newly formed baby. I will send you the names of some of the acupunturists and herbalists I have been in touch with, very good, and very affordabl.e My prayers are with you. -
