Fertility Herbs

Just curious, has anyone ever gotten pregnant using just fertility herbs. I am really considering trying them, particularly fertilaid or fertility blend. I feel like its worth a shot. What do you think?

I'm sure it's worth a try. I don't see how herbs can do any harm. I'd try for 3-6 months and after that pursue other routes.

There's an interesting survey about infertility (including the use of alternate therapies) where you can see the results after participating at OpinionDB.

I’m all for natural if you can. My only issues would be that in the US and Canada herb/ vitamin /supplements are largely unregulated. I would check out what is in it and more importantly who makes it and where do the do it! Remember the plastic in dog and cat food last year and all those lead paint toy recalls?
