I was just wondering if anyone had any good suggestions on any of the over the counter fertility meds. I have been trying for months now. Just having sex during my period after my period is not working. I want to try some over the counter meds before I try the shots.
Not fertility meds but there are some things you can try.
Be sure to take prenatal vitamins. The folic acid they provide is crucial for your baby, even before you discover you are pregnant, you want it your system at the time you conceive.
You can also try baby aspirin. Do not try it with out discussing with your dr 1st. It can be taken throughout your entire cycle, or starting after ovulation. It is mostly used for those with clotting disorders that cause miscarriages, but it can also help make a successful implantation.
You can try red raspberry leaf tea. You can drink it up to ovulation, but not after, as it can cause uterine contractions, and some say it can cause an early miscarriage. It is supposed to help tone the uterus.
You can try Robitussin or Mucinex to help improve the quality of your cervical mucus. It will not help you to produce more, but it can liquefy the mucus you already have, making it more sperm friendly. Preseed is a great lubricant that is sperm friendly. All other lubricants can harm or kill sperm. Preseed.com for more info. Have you been tracking your ovulation? I would highly recommend the Clear Blue Easy Fertility Monitor. It is a little pricey but well worth it, the best investment I've made since ttc. It really helped me to learn my cycle and it is over 99% accurate in detecting ovulation. You can find them cheaper on amazon or ebay.
Your dr will likely want to run some blood work and do routine ultrasounds and test prior to giving you Clomid or shots. He will also want to do and HSG to check for blocked tubes prior to deciding what treatments suit you best. Has your husband had a sperm analysis?
Lots of luck and baby dust for you:)

Me and SO are starting the IVF process after a failed IUI and many years ttc. I've heard that royal jelly and bee pollen and really good in improving fertility and great nutrients for the body to prepare for pregnancy. What dose should I get and what daily dose should I take?
You've done your research! The brand I take is Y.S. Organic Bee Farms' Fresh Royal Jelly capsules. One capsule has 2,000 mgs and I take one per day. I found mine at Whole Foods. I also take 8 mgs of wheat grass daily. It is supposed to alkalize your body providing a hospitable environment for the embryos.
Edit: Funny Evil Twin. My only pregnancy via IVF was when I was taking royal jelly. After 3 failed cycles I was willing to try it. My embryo quality went from poor to "beautiful." It's a natural antibiotic, contains 16 vitamins, including B complex, 16 minerals, 18 enzymes, 22 amino acids. Yes. If you're allergic to bees don't take it. Duh. And "there’s no real evidence that those properties translate into practical, real-life use" doesn't mean it doesn't have antibiotic properties, it just means it hasn't been tested. “Perhaps the most valid criticism of royal jelly isn’t with the product itself” is the one sentence in that whole article that should hold the most weight. I don't believe it to be a cure-all and most thinking people would not either but if you have not done your research on its benefits in conjunction with IVF or fertility treatments do not bash it because of one dumb blog.
CD~Check out the book Infertility Cure by Dr. Randine Lewis. It describes several studies that detail why royal jelly is beneficial to fertility.
Good luck on your cycle!

I have pcos and have already tried clomid for 6 months and didn't get pregnant but I did ovulate I was just wondering if there were any other fertility drugs that could be used before we try IUI.
You could try Femara. I have heard nothing but great things about this drug!!
I know how you feel, I'm on round 3 of Clomid, 2 of 50mg and this round 100mg…I've ovulated on all 3 but no bfp as of yet

I have unexplained infertility and have been on 3 rounds of Clomid with my old insurance..
How do I find out what fertility treatments/diagnostics my prospective insurance company will cover?
You have to ask them. But if it's private insurance, it doesn't. And if it's through your employer, they'll know you're trying to get pregnant - not a good thing to disclose on an interview, if you want to get hired.
But most of the time, there's a LIFETIME limit of, well, the usual is TWO rounds of Clomid, and that lifetime limit transfers to the new insurer. So even if they DID cover fertility issues, you've already exceeded your limit. It doesn't 'reset' when you get new insurance.
This week in the Lab Daddy Clay and Daddy Brad sit down with Dr. Kaylen Silverberg of the Texas Fertility Center to discuss the appropriate time to visit a fertility specialist. Dr. Silverberg discusses the steps a fertility clinic takes to ensure a successful pregnancy during conception. The Fertility center will look at causes of infertility in men such as high blood pressure, diabetes and draw blood work if necessary. Fertility doctors may also perform ultrasounds, and x-rays known as hsg to determine if fertility drugs or other steps are needed to create that positive pregnancy test. The Lab ep 520.
