My husband and I have been trying to conceive for the last five years now. We have an eleven year old daughter, and we have had one miscarriage since she was born as well. Can you tell me anything about homeopathic fertility treatments? Does any of that really work?

View 1 Repliesi have a app on my phone, it said that i start my period the 1st of this month, but i still havent started. it said i ovulated the 18th last month, i had sex the 20th & the 15th which was one of my high fertility days . could i be pregnant? plus my nipples are really sore & they have been for 5 days.
View 3 RepliesI have never had my fertility tested by a doctor, so what I am telling you comes strictly from the fact that I have not got pregnant in a year, after having tried vigorously. From my ovulation tests I know that I do ovulate. I also know the problem is not with my husband, as he already has two kids from a previous marriage. Do you think herbs for fertility for women would help me?

View 3 RepliesI'm a 36 year old mum of 5... 8 years ago after our 4th child I needed an operation to strip varicose veins on both legs as they were problematic.. Living abroad flights are needed to visit family etc.
We went on to have our 5th child 4 years ago and over the last year they have returned twice as bad as before. They are painful and very ugly.... Starting from my ankles right up to the back of my knees. I'm a fit person, train every day and not over weight. What options do I have other than heading down the surgery route again!! It's starting to affect me as I want to not feel conscious living in a warm country and wanting to spend time with our children in swimwear and shorts.
Are there treatments/medications that work?
View 6 RepliesI've been diagnosed with hyperparathyroidism on Thursday 5th of November, I was wondering if anybody has had natural treatment for this please?
In the meantime I'm going ahead with being put on the waiting list for an operation, I have my ultrasound scan tomorrow, Tuesday the 24th of November .
It would be good to hear from those members who have used natural treatment for primary hyperparathyroidism and to find out how you are getting on now please ?
I have had "M.E. " for 19 years , I'm being treated naturally, this helps with my weight and also some of the other symptoms , however I'm still not well enough to work and need help at home etc
I'm suffering from alopecia areata since I was 6 (I'm 23 years old now). I was prescribed with Rogaine, but I didn't see much of improvement. I also tried applying Aloe Vera gel but also without success.
Could you recommend me some more efficient home treatment for hair loss?
I have posted to this Board before about what has made a difference to my recovery from Graves. In addition to the medication Methimazole, I started on Regular L-Carnitine and then later Acetyl-L-Carnitine and vitamin D supplementation. Others on the Board have posted about the addition of selenium as well as other natural herbs such as Melissa and Bugleweed. I saw this posting on another Hyperthyroid Board and the author has given me permission to copy it to this Board as follows:
I am shocked that our doctor's don't know more about the thyroid, autoimmune disease and its connection to the gut. I went to a naturopath when I was first diagnosed in 2012 because my husband and I didn't like what the endo suggested. After seeing the naturopath we made a connection between my occasional IBS type symptoms, bloating and my thyroid. We started a probiotic and immune support vitamin called Moducare. Then she ran food sensitivity testing through All Tests labs (some MDs are skeptical about this but it worked for my stomach). I had all four antibodies for graves and Hashimoto's and I had symptoms from both and almost undetectable TSH levels. She removed gluten and dairy from my diet and pulled out foods I tested sensitive to like yeast. Then added Lycopus Virginicus and lemon balm tincture to my routine along with vitamin D, B complex and CoQ10. I finally figured out though that the real cure for me was going gluten free and dairy free. No more bloating, no stomach cramps, gas or the big D. Then I found out there is a link between Celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, leaky gut and Thyroid disease. There is a natural graves treatment FB page I am on and a lot of us have cured ourselves of Graves using dietary modifications. I went into remission within 3 months of this diet. I have been normal for over a year now. You really need to be tested for celiac before you start the diet. If you don't have it (it can lead to thyroid disease and then other autoimmune disease when left untreated) then you are sensitive to something you are eating and are most likely dealing with leaky gut. Someday the MDs will catch up with what is really going on here. Our pediatrician is so progressive and knows all this stuff but warned us that a lot of her colleagues are not there yet when it comes to medicine."
I have been feeling really bad about the facial hair that I have. I am a young woman with black hair, and so the hair I have in my moustache area is also black and very noticeable. I do wax it but it always returns, and the waxing also leaves a red and bumpy area. I love the idea of getting laser hair removal. Does this procedure have any side effects?
View 1 RepliesI'd like to get laser hair removal on my armpits, but I've heard several scary stories that this procedure may cause breast cancer because it uses a light form of radiation and because it blocks lymph nodes. Is this true?

View 2 RepliesI had a medical abortion about 24 days ago today, they said my baby wouldn't survive with the condition he had and that I had to make a decision. It wasn't easy but I did. The consultant said that he wouldn't make half term and then I would have to give normal birth to a stillborn baby! Why do I feel so guilty for what I have done?
My husband and I have been having intercourse and I am not exactly sure when my cycle will return. I so wish the situation was happy and normal. Can anyone give me some feedback on how your cycle works after this situation.
Can acupuncture affect fertility? Have anyone had such experience? They all promise good results, but I am skeptical about it. As I've been told this means that the different combinations of acupuncture points play a role in the release of the hormones responsible for regulating our cycle.
