Natural Solutions for Infertility

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) August 25, 2008 -- The first “test tube” baby turned thirty this year, marking three decades of babies conceived using in vitro fertilization (IVF). Experts are still arguing the level of risk associated with the procedure, some taking the stance that there are grave risks for both mother and child, others that the dangers are overstated. Regardless of who is right, most women want to conceive naturally, without fertility drugs or IVF.

Conception through IVF increases the likeliness of having twins, which may double the joy or double the woes. IVF may also cause serious side-effects like ectopic pregnancy (pregnancy outside the womb), ovarian hyperstimulation (OHSS), and the possibility of increased risk for ovarian cancer. And at about $12,000 per cycle, IVF carries a financial risk as well: there is no guarantee you will become pregnant.

Before IVF is considered, fertility drugs are usually the first line used in reproductive therapy. Clomid is one of the most popular fertility drugs prescribed. It works by stimulating ovary follicles to encourage ovulation. Side-effects can include: mood swings, hot flashes, headaches, and again, there is no guarantee you will become pregnant. In fact, it's more likely that while taking Clomid that you will not become pregnant than that you will become pregnant. In clinical studies published by the FDA, only about 30% of women conceived while taking Clomid.

One of the leading causes of infertility is Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). PCOS may take the form of numerous symptoms, which vary from woman to woman: weight gain, irregular periods, thinning hair, excessive hair growth on the face and body, acne, depression and anxiety. If you feel you may be suffering from PCOS take this self-test.

PCOS is caused by a reversible condition known as Insulin Resistance. When Insulin Resistance is reversed natural conception may be achieved. Amy Medling first went the route of Clomid and intrauterine insemination and did have two children. Years later, once she started to treat her insulin resistance, Amy became pregnant without fertility drugs or intrauterine insemination:
