Medications Vs. Supliments

So now that I have been diagnosed with what seemed like and unfix able aliment I didn't want to wait three months to see if the medication the GYN gave me would work. I couldn't just sit around and wonder and wait. I had to start doing some research on my own.

A lot of what i came across first was herbal supplements that can help balance a woman's hormones and help with ovulation. Anything from Cinnamon to red raspberry leaf and many more. The most common supplement I came across was called Vitex (also known as Chase berry).  The key to getting pregnant besides general health and well being is ovulation and regular menstrual cycles. Vitex or chase berry has an excellent track record in relieving complaints in woman cause by hormonal imbalances. It may also be helpful for woman with PCOS.

Well this stuff is very hard to come across. I had to order it online and then after that I was able to find it at the vitamin shoppe. I started taking it along with about 15 other supplements. After about 2 months of taking tons of pills several times each day I decided I needed to do a bit more research. I came across the TTC (trying to conceive) blogs. I read about medications that a doctor can give you to help induce ovulation each month and about a specialist called and RE (reproductive endocrinologist) I was stoked that there was stuff that a doctor could do to help us  achieve our dream of starting a family.

So i found an RE that my insurance would cover and made an appointment...
