My husband and I are trying to conceive our 2nd baby. I've been off birth control since march. I've never ever had breakthrough bleeding, but i'm having it now. I've had it for the past 5 days. I contacted my doctor and spoke with the nurse. The nurse kinda thought that the doctor would just put be back on birth control because it sounded like my hormone level were too low and birth control would bring them back up. Well obviosly I dont wanna go back on birth control because I wont get pregnant. My question is is there any way to regulate my hormones without going back on birth control. My second question is, wouldn't they actually ahve to check my hormone level first before giving me that diagnosis?
Any info you can give me on teh subject would be GREATLY appreciated.

I had that problem and was diagnosed with PCOS. I would talk to a fertility specialist.

This book is a must read for any woman trying to get pregnant. I was devastated and so was my husband after being told by my fertility specialist at age 38 that I had no option but to consider adoption or donor eggs (according to my doctor I was out of eggs and gave me 4% chance of getting pregnant and a 2% chance of carrying a baby to full term). After much research and dozens of hours reading infertility related articles and posts online, I have found this book! I never believed in anything alternative to western medicine and thought all the other stuff like Chinese medicine was a hoax. But I was soon glad to be wrong as I followed step by step guidelines. After one month of trying I became pregnant and had a beautiful healthy boy. Nine months after that I did everything in the book again and after 2 months of trying I got pregnant again and gave birth to another perfect little boy. I would recommend anyone with an open mind to read this book. It just might be the answer to your prayers.

Natrualy,
Chasteberry: This herb works to increase fertility by stimulating the pituitary gland. This is the gland responsible for producing sex hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. Chasteberry should help fertility by balancing the sex hormones.
Dong Quai: Dong Quai is a Chinese fertility herb, long-used to solve menstrual difficulties. It also helps to balance estrogen levels in the body and improve chances of implantation.
Things to note...
It is especially important to include certain vitamins and minerals in your diet. Try to include:
Vitamin C and Antioxidants: these vitamins prevent sperm defects and boost sperm motility. They also reduce stress on your eggs and reproductive organs.
Zinc: zinc deficiencies have been linked with reduced testosterone and semen levels.
Calcium and Vitamin D: A daily, therapeutic dose of these nutrients have been shown to help increase male fertility.
Certain foods and chemicals should be avoided if you are having troubles becoming pregnant. Cut back on:
Alcohol: alcohol can reduce your fertility levels by up to 50%. It can also decrease sperm count and increase the production of abnormal sperm.
Caffeine: caffeine, found in coffee, teas, cola, and chocolate, has been shown to reduce both male and female fertility levels. As little as one cup of coffee a day can cut your chances of conception in half.
Xenoestrogens: xenoestrogens are estrogens found in environmental chemicals and pesticides. Produce and other foods can have high levels of xenoestrogens, which, if ingested, may disturb your balance of hormones. Imbalaced hormones are often the cause of fertility issues.

Did the nurse specifically say "birth control"? I was trying to conceive and for some reason my periods stopped, but we didn't know why. I was giving progesterone to "Jump Start" my cycle, which put me back on track. I was also given Clomid to help "build a better egg."
Good luck!

Because the teenagers doing that are idiots, or possibly looking for a excuse to be whores.
