I would strongly recommend you consult a Medical Herbalist.
I could go into a lot of detail (feel free to contact me off list), but we have very good success with endometriosis and infertility. I will often recommend herbs on this list but both of these issues are very complex, individual and variable and need specialised attention.

Very generally:
Zinc is essential for sperm/egg production and function so make sure both you and your partners diet are rich in this or take a supplement. Diet in general is very important in general: Eat loads of fruit and veg, wholemeal carbs (rice, pasta, potatoes), and for protein, lean chicken, fish, nuts, beans & pulses.

You both need to stop smoking and drinking (if you do either?), although a glass of wine now and again won't hurt!

Very generally, Damiana (Turnera diffusa) and Sarsaparilla (Smilax ornatum) are male tonics and Ruth Trickey (Women, Hormones and the Menstrual cycle) has an excellent chapter on endometriosis.

Best wishes.

Then why not go for IVF? Or is it because you wont get your first go free, i know its expensive.I really know how you feel we have been trying for a couple of years with no luck but we are luckier in that physically we are both ok. At least you both have what it takes to make your own baby though. Make sure you dont start getting depressed over this, i have been and now we have decided to forget about it for a while and see what happens. Stress produces cortisone which , i have recently learned, affects the quality of your eggs so its true that when you are thinking about it too much it doesnt happen!! Good luck xx

The low sperm count is a significant problem. Maybe IVF is the only alternative, where the sperm is injected into the egg to create the embryo.

Saying that, you hear of couples having IVF, then conceiving naturally later.

You never know.

It sounds like you've done everything possible outside of in vitro. It sounds like they won't give you Clomid. Did you try artificial insemination? Isn't there something they can do with that to help the sperm get to the destination? I have a friend who had some issues and artificial insemination and fertility drugs together made it possible. Get a second opinion from a different fertility clinic.

take ovulation tests, these tell u wen ur most fertile, also try not to worry about it the more relaxed ur life is the more likely u r to fall pregnant. Also ur diet can be alot to do with it try and eat plenty of healthy normal foods.
