Oh and nettles. I also was using ProGreens, one of those super-duper green drinks with royal jelly and super bluegreen algae in it. I took a multivitamin and a b-vitamin supplement. I miscarried three times using natural progesterone. I didn't use false unicorn root because it's endangered and I wasn't positive that I needed it but if I did go back on herbs, I would like take that.

I used false unicorn root and progesterone cream (Pro-Gest brand) to conceive my second child. I think you’ve said before that you’ve tried herbs - which ones have you tried?

That maybe it would be less stressful without the drugs and maybe it could be more layed back. And if you continue to try, that baby could be on the horizon. But if you do nothing that baby isn't on the horizon. However, I hear (and only marginally understand) what you are going through. With my husband and I trying for our second baby right now, on those eggwhite days I am focused on how I am going to make sure that I get him in the sack by the end of the day. I'm calculating how many eggwhite days I will have and how many tries we will get in. It IS stressful (as much as I don't want it to be). Waiting for my period to come is a wind-whirl of emotions. And then there is that whole depressing on-time period. I can't even calculate the intensity of emotions you have but I can guess it is too tough sometimes. Oh yeah, coffee- I drink caffinated when my period comes (and I'm not pregnant) as a small reward, but once my period ends I go back to decaf. Not the purist way, but my way. :) It would be great to be able to say that you should see the local naturopath.
