Has anyone ever tried or know anyone who has tried chinese fertility herbs?
in the uk, we have alot of chinese shops that advertise different herbs for different problems. one being fertility. i think these herbs or pills are meant to boost fertility.
im having some problems with my fertility and wandered if these chinese herbs are worth trying? have you used them or know of anyone who has? do they work?
Answers:
well. China does have a population problem.. so I would say it works HOWEVER unless the rest of the world realizes that the human population growth is causing a lot of problems (from farm land loss.. to weather pattern change.. to inceases in pollution related allergies and asthma in kids) we are gonna have HUGE problems in the future due to population growth
Currently over 6.5 BILLION - the United Nations suggests a figure like 5 Billion would be more reasonable for long term human existance.
SO if you are gonna have kids PLEASE for the sake of that kids future - stop at 1 child.
or we will all be like China and forced to eat cat and dog because there is no where to raise cattle
i think the chineese herb is a good thing try it. What ever makes u feel good and just give it a try i hear there good.
Here in the US the herbal supplements are not regulated by the federal government. However, they have looked at them and found a lot of the herbal supplements are contaminated with potentially lethal or teratogenic substances. Including diethylstilbestrol!!
Herbal treatment is aimed at restoring hormone imbalances, and encouraging ovulation if it is not occurring. It will also give you the best possible chance of maintaining a pregnancy, should you conceive.
Agnus Castus (Vitex or Chaste tree berry)
available in Holland & Barrett
This is the herb of choice for helping to restore hormone imbalance and increasing fertility. In one study 48 women diagnosed with infertility took agnus castus daily for three months, 7 of them became pregnant during that time and 25 of them regained normal progesterone levels.
Agnus castus is particularly helpful for those women who have a luteal phase defect (shortened second half to the cycle) or those with high prolactin levels, because it stimulates the proper functioning of the pituitary gland which controls the hormones.
Agnus castus works to restore hormonal balance and can be used where there are hormone deficits as well as excesses it:
Regulates periods
Restarts periods which have stopped
Helps with heavy bleeding
Increases the ratio of progesterone to oestrogen by balancing excess oestrogen.
Note:
Don't take any herbs while you are using drug treatments or going through assisted conception (such as IVF), unless prescribed by a qualified practitioner.
Caution
You should not take any of the above herbs if you are taking, The Pill, Fertillity drugs, HRT or any other hormonal treatment or other medication unless they are recommended by a registered, experienced practitioner.
I suggest that you follow this four-month plan and do not try to conceive within that time. Why? Because when you follow the plan, your fertility will begin to increase. Everything needs to be working at optimum level before you conceive, both to prevent a miscarriage, and to give you the best possible chance of having a healthy baby.
try it and find out
When I was having problems conceiving I felt so desperate I turned to Chinese herbal medicine and paid a lot of money for a jar of powder and had no idea what was in it. Needless to day it didn't work.
I would agree with one of the other people who has answered this question that Agnus Castus is the best herb to take. When I had my first IVF treatment I was told that the chances were not good as I had a high FSH level and that nothing could be done about it. I went to another clinic the following year after taking Agnus Castus and my level had dropped. The IVF was successful and I had twins.
From personal experience Chinese herbs (and I'm Chinese) are not only foul tasting but stink to high heaven too! lol. Good luck if you can get beyond that to try it.
What I would recommend is Acupuncture, many of my family and friends have been treated by this method and have had excellent results.
Wishing you all the luck.
