Au Natural

So I've been researching this product lately called Fertilaid. It's basically an all natural (vitamins, herbs, etc) supplement that is supposed to help with getting pregnant. It has a lot of natural ingredients to help establish normal ovulation and factors that contribute to getting pregnant. If you google it, you'll find tons of info and reviews. It was developed by a OBGYN doctor. Supposedly it evens helps with women who have PCOS. I'm always a skeptic but I really haven't read anything negative about it, except from women who've taken it who previously had normal cycles. Apparently in their cases, it screwed up their cycles. Whatever, at least they HAVE normal cycles. Lol.

I have my annual OBGYN appointment next month so I plan to ask my doctor about it. Of course she'll probably be against it because she's in the medical field but who knows. My biggest concern is that it will affect my kidney's negatively since I've had so many problems with kidney stones lately. I would ask my urologist what he thinks but I've played that game before when I asked him if Clomid had anything to do with kidney stones and he didn't have a clue. That is literally the only thing I'm concerned about otherwise I probably would have already placed an order for some. All the ingredients are listed on the website and nothing looks disturbing to me. Plus I can't imagine this would be any worse that taking goddamn Clomid. That stuff will mess you up. Yes, it made me ovulate (after increasing the dosage) but it had LOTS of negative side effects.

Otherwise, if I decide not to go down the Fertilaid route, I think next year we might start seeing a specialist. Depends on the money situation though. I have to get these kidney stone surgery bills paid off first.
