tubes blocked but pregnant now

I have read many posts over the past year in my quest for getting pregnant, but have never written anything. I wanted to write now, so maybe somebody else can be helped by what I did by accident. A year ago, I had a dye test done, which determined that both of my tubes were 100% blocked, likely because of gonoreah. My husband and I prepared for invitro, which the doctor said was the only way I could get pregnant. The first attempt at invitro was cancelled because my follies were not growing big enough. That was March of 2009. I was about to go for attempt 2 in December 2009, so to prepare, I started taking many herbs and vitamins back in August so that I would have good quality eggs and hopefully have a successful invitro. (I am 34, youngest child is 11, have not gotten pregnant since, and have smoked for 15 years.) I found out the last week of November 2009, that I am pregnant. I am now 9 weeks, counting from the first day of my last period, which was October 16, 2009. All of my hormone numbers are very good and I am well past the stage of having to worry if it is ectopic. This is my miracle baby, because the doctors said it wouldnt happen. The following is what I took:

1. prenatal vitamin from Wal-Mart

2. calcium from Wal-mart

3. iodine bought off internet for possible thyroid issues (when I ran out of this, I went to local GNC store and purchased kelp which is high in iodine.)

4. royal jelly bought off ebay

5. organic wheat grass in tablet form, bought off ebay

6. ovul-aid bought off ebay. (Like other name brand fertility tablets, only cheaper. Has same blend of Chinese herbs like dong quai, black cohosh, vitex, wild yam, etc.)

7. Red Clover tablet form bought off ebay

8. Flase Unicorn Root in tinture form bought off ebay. (Get big bottle even though kind of expenseive, it is very powerful.)

9. Cramp bark in tinture form bought off ebay.

10. Macca root in pill form bought off ebay. (Very powerful fertility herb as well. Men can take this one too.)

11. Red Raspberry leaf in tinture form bought off ebay. (Also best to buy in big bottle. When I ran out, I went to GNC and just bought the tea form.)

Some of these say to stop after ovulation, but I didnt think I could get pregnant naturally so I took them the whole cycle. My goal was to make sure everything in my body was perfect so invitro would work. I did cut back on the false unicorn because it is sooooo expensive and the ovulaid had it in it as well. For the most part i followed dosing on the bottles. Over all for about 2 months of taking them, I spent about $300. Invitro costs about $10,000 so now I feel it is a very small price to pay. I also had bought dhea to take, but after further reading decided the side effects were not worth the risk and did not take it. My doctor says the two weeks I was pregnant and did not know it, and continued to take the herbs, probably did not harm the baby. He has even kept me on the kelp and wheat grass.
I hope this helps someone else to get the baby they want so badly. I truelly understand and wish everybody good luck.

Thanks for posting this. I have only one tube (left was a hydrosalpinx and was removed) and have had 2 failed IVFs, so I am willing to try anything natural I can to improve things. Did you do anything manually to open your tubes? How badly were they blocked?

Congrats on your

Thanks for the inspiring post. I've been trying to conceive for 9 yrs. and found out both my tubes are blocked. My husband has children from previous relationships but desperately wants us to conceive. We both believe I will get pregnant soon. I wish I would've heard your testimonial before I purchased this blocked fallopian tube kit. It's all natural, consisting of herbs, yoga, relaxation techniques, and walks you through eating a natural diet. I felt that since both of my tubes were blocked and since I didn't want to get surgery, I would try the most aggressive natural treatment available. I've prayed and believe it will work though.
Blessings to you and your new little one,
Jul
