Unfortunately, efforts to enlarge the family do not always go our way. Although when making a decision to have a child, it rarely occurs to us that it may take a long time, and even seem impossible with time, sometimes nature needs a little help.
The following methods mainly involve treatment with herbs and it is worth using them both in people with minor problems (but not requiring pharmacological treatment) and those in whom the cause of infertility has not been found. They can also provide additional support for people with more serious complications that prevent conception of a child.
Improving the quality of fertile mucus
It is a very important element, even necessary in the fertilization process. It enables the maturation, movement and nutrition of sperm. Therefore, it is important that it is of the right quality. Mucus deficiencies usually occur with hormone therapy. Then you can support yourself with additional preparations.
How to fix it? The best natural remedy for improving the quality of mucus is evening primrose oil, which can be taken in the form of capsules. It is taken from the beginning of the cycle until ovulation – evening primrose can cause micro contractions of the uterus, so it is better not to use it after this period, because it could have a negative effect if implantation occurs. In addition, linseed oil (or pure flaxseed) is effective because it increases the amount of mucus, magnesium is also a good supporter, which can be used throughout the cycle. It has a great effect on the whole body. It is better absorbed when taken with vitamin B6.
Too much prolactin
Excessive levels of prolactin are one of the most common causes of fertility problems. This hormone is responsible for the production of milk, but its excess in the body contributes to blocking ovulation. That’s why it’s almost impossible to get pregnant while breastfeeding. In addition, too high a level of prolactin reduces progesterone, a hormone necessary for the development of the embryo in the second phase of the cycle. More interestingly, prolactin also increases during stressful situations, and as we know, it is easier to get pregnant when we are not exposed to stress and unnecessary nerves…
Then the prolactin level should be checked. Fortunately, the treatment of this problem is relatively easy – it consists in administering drugs that lower the level of the hormone. As for the natural method, the best results are obtained by taking herbal medicines with an extract of monk’s chasteberry. You should take it normally for 90 days and then take a 1-2 month break. These types of preparations are available in pharmacies without a prescription, they also regulate cycles and reduce premenstrual tension. This method of treatment will be effective mainly in people suffering from a mild form of hyperprolactinemia.
