Anyone know of a over the counter (natural or not) fertilty drug that actually works?

Question

Ive heard of Clomid (but its skeptic) and Ive heard of serious perscribed only drugs. But something simple that is over the counter and acurate???

Answer 1

Gin and tonic has lead to a lot of pregnancies, and no prescription required!

Answer 2

Clomid should only be taken under medical supervision, and unless you plan on getting it illegally, it needs to be prescribed by a qualified doctor. There are some pretty tough side effects, that need to be examined by your doctor. Clomid can also cause cysts on one's ovaries, and intense pain when they burst. Clomid should also only be used for women who are not ovulating, if a woman who is ovulating is using it, it can cause a lot of problems.

I have however heard of an over-the-counter product called Fertility Tea. I'm not exactly sure how it works, but I think it is meant to help with hormone regulation to make sure that you ovulate on or around the same time each month.

Robitussin with antihistamine. You take this all month long. What it does is thin out the cervical mucus just like it would thin out and dry up the mucus in you nose during a cold. It is easier for the sperm to get through the cervix and get you pregnant. Now when you have sex. After ejaculation put your legs up over your head like you are doing a bicycle exercise. This keeps the sperm up there. Don't get up to pee..... for as long as you can.

This has gotten many women pregnant. If it doesn't happen at first, keep going. I would also use an ovulation predictor kit to time when you jhave sex. If you have sex before ovulation you have a higher chance of a boy. If you have sex during ovulation there is a higher chance for a girl. The boy sperm swim slower giving them ample time to get through the uterus and closer to the egg.

There is only a 24 hour window to get pregnant for the egg. So go for it!

Answer 4

This is my standard answer......... go get a book called Taking Charge of your fertility by Toni Weschler. It will help you understand your body and all the myths about it. It will help you time when you are ovulating and the best times to conceive. My Doctor recommended it to me and after 1 year of trying I got the book. It worked the very next month. It turns out that my timing was wrong due to mis-information. I hope it helps you, too! It's not only about getting pregnant. It's about knowing your body and knowing when you are fertile or not. You can pick and choose what you do with your info. Good luck and don't listen the all the myths!

Answer 5

OK, Clomid is not over the counter. It IS a serious, prescription only drug. There are others that are injectibles, like pergonal, but I don't know of any otc that are accurate.

Answer 6

First of all, I want to wish you good luck in your efforts. My mother in law told me a "remedy" she heard. It sounds kind of HOKEY to me (she really gets into this stuff) but who knows.
She said she heard some expert say to take the kind of Robitussin that cuts down on mucus (maybe even Musenx would do this). I guess the lower your mucus, the better chance you have.??? Like I said, I have no idea if it would work, but I have to give this guy credit for originality.

Answer 7

Go to the fertility shops online, they have Vitamins that have natural ingredients (like a fertility blend of herbs) that help the ovulation process, and even if you just take the regular pre-natal vitamins they help a lot. And there is nothing like a healthy woman! drink plenty of fluids to help with your cervical mocus and eat healthy, Good luck.

Answer 8

It all totally depends on what is causing your infertility! Have you discussed it w/ a Dr? Treatment for PCOS would be different than that for endometriosis, which would be different from treatments for premature ovarian failure or for male-factor issues.

An excellent book to read is Toni Wechsler's "Talking Charge of Your Fertility" available from any bookstore. You may also find help at http://www.tryingtoconceive.com/

Answer 9

My wife's ob-gyn gave my wife a medicine that diabetic people take called glucophage. She said it would increase the chances of her getting pregnant. My wife has polycistic ovaries and we thought she couldn't get pregnant. She is now 14 weeks pregnant. She is still taking the glucophage because the ob-gyn stated that it also helps avoid a miscarriage.
