Alternate ways to encourage conception?

Question

my husband and I have been trying to get pregnant. We are currently doing IUI. I am willing to stand on my head, rub my belly, eat green onions... any 'tricks' or advice you might have to help us get pregnant? Anyone know any alternative medicine or massage tips?

Answer 1

PRAY PRAY and PRAY...That's how it happened with a lot of people I know...Make sure that after you all are done having s*x you lay there for a while, give the "medicine" time to work... If you smoke or drink stop...And take some prenatal pills with Folic Acid...hope that helps...

Hi Quilasheila,

There are many things you can do to help you get pregnant that would be considered 'alternative' by a majority of the medical industry.

One example is acupuncture. There are many studies that show acupuncture improves pregnancy rates even in women who are undergoing IVF. So if you are willing to go to the extent of this then I would highly recommend it.You will find a good acupuncturist will also offer herbs (which will taste awful) to boost your feritlity, believe me they are worth it.

I urge you to trust this traditional chinese medicine method, it has been around for centuries and their experience with conception dates back thousands of years. Also note that in studies I have read, the western doctors admit that acupuncture does indeed increase fertility but they do not understand how yet. Ask a traditional chinese medicine doctor and he or she will explain it to you eloquently, just keep an open mind. Try to research who you choose to go to and ensure they are experienced and practise traditional medicine designed for your individual needs.  

Preconception care, healthy living and supplements will also boost your fertility immensely.
