What are you taking phat p? and please let me know what happens

A good natural herb to take is Vitex Agnus Castus. It is great for infertility, and gets your hormones back on track. I took this for one cycle and got pregnant straight away! I recommend it to anyone who is trying to conceive. You can buy it at most healthfood shops, and there are a few different brands, but I think the Blackmore’s brand is the best.

Endometriosis is a common disease in women in which tissues found in the inner lining of the uterus are found in other parts of the body. Those tissues can behave in a similar way during the menstrual cycle under the influence of female sex hormones oestrogen and progesterone. These tissues also bleed during menses and become red and later on chocolate coloured. Old endometrial tissue may get fibrosed to form adhesions and which distort the normal structure of the tissue organs. Endometriosis can develop in various places of the body but it usually develops in the vicinity of the reproductive organs of a woman.

Endometriosis is common but problems due to it depend on the size and location of the disease. Minute endometriosis does not cause any problem but bigger endometriosis can cause painful periods, pain discomfort during sex, pelvic pain, low backache, postmenstrual spotting and even sterility. Endometriosis is the most common cause of dysfunctional uterine bleeding. In all women suffering from sterility endometriosis must be suspected and the woman should be investigated for it.

Endometriosis and fertility are related to each other. It can cause sub-fertility or infertility. While in infertile women, due to any other cause, the risk of endometriosis increases two to five fold than in normal woman.

The mechanism by which endometrical-like tissue develops other than the uterus is still a mystery for scientists.

Diagnosis: Diagnosis of endometriosis is also not always easy. Small endometriosis tissues in remote places are difficult to diagnose. The disease can be definitely confirmed by taking out the suspected tissue and examining it. The tissue can be taken out through trans-vaginal laparoscopy. But many times the tissue sample is taken out for examination.

Many other methods are being developed but no other method can confirm the presence or absence of the diseases with certainty.

Management: If women are suffering from endometriosis, the treatment depends on the size, problems due to it and the women’s need. If women don’t have any symptoms due to the disease, no treatment is usually required.

For women having various symptoms due to endometriosis, the aim of treatment should be to relieve the symptoms, stopping its growth and preventing or delaying its recurrence. If women are suffering from infertility, then treatment should aim to restore fertility.

Treatment of endometriosis depends on the need of the woman, her age, the severity of the disease, location of the disease, presence of pain and other problems. Ideal treatment for endometriosis is the removal of endometriosis tissue when lesions are big enough and to restore the normal structure of organs affected, especially Fallopian tubes, ovaries and uterus, as far as possible.

Of course, many effective drugs like Danozol, are also available which can reduce the size of the lesion and prevent its further growth, but these drugs are suitable for women who have completed their family. In these women affected reproductive organs can be removed by surgery.

INFERTILITY

Many women suffering from infertility due to endometriosis to may require surgery and later on control ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) or/and assisted reproductive techniques like intrauterine implantation invitro fertilisation (IVP) to have a baby.

Endometriosis is an enigmatic disease of women and an important cause of dysfunctional uterine bleeding, pelvic pain and infertility. Women suffering from infertility due to endometriosis require early treatment. As the disease becomes older, chances of success decrease. In spite of all the developments and efforts, fully successful treatment for endometriosis is still not possible.

Everyone is aware of the cycles of the sun and moon. They give structure to our days, months, and seasons. But did you know that the sun and moon can influence your fertility?

When you are in sync with the earth’s natural rhythms and cycles you can boost your fertility. If you work against nature’s rhythms as many of us do, then you may be harming your delicate fertility balance.

Your biological clock is intimately linked to your reproductive system by utilizing the same hormones that trigger ovulation and sperm maturation. Therefore both women and men are affected by respecting or ignoring their natural rhythms.

Importance of Bright Light

Getting adequate sunlight or other full spectrum light during the day is key to optimum fertility for many reasons. Vitamin D is created in our bodies when we are exposed to sunlight and Vitamin D deficiencies have been linked to infertility.

Adequate sunlight also helps regulate circadian rhythms which allow you to sleep better at night. Regular exposure to the sun also helps you maintain a strong immune system which is necessary to maintain a healthy pregnancy. Women who get more sunlight also have consistent and stronger menstrual cycles.

Finally, bright light prevents your body from overproducing melatonin which suppresses fertility. This might explain why it is easier for women to conceive in southern regions and during the summer months.

Importance of Darkness and Full-moon Light

Many researchers believe that prior to the introduction of electricity into our homes, all women menstruated during the new moon and ovulated during the full moon. This has been proven by studying cultures today that do not use electricity. Women in these cultures sleep in close to total darkness except for the days surrounding the full moon.

The small amount of light from the full moon is enough to halt melatonin production long enough for ovulation to occur. Most women can synchronize with the cycles of the moon in about three to four months by altering the light level while they sleep. Coordinating menstruation not only strengthens your cycle in many ways but it also makes it much easier to pinpoint the optimal timing for intercourse.

Darkness also plays an important role in optimal fertility by triggering melatonin, on most dark nights, which leads to a good nights sleep. Just make sure to prevent overproduction with bright light in the morning.

Deep sleep helps restore and rejuvenate the reproductive system. Lack of sleep can increase cortisol levels, lead to an increased use of caffeine and other fertility reducing substances, disrupt your hormone balance, cause depression which in itself can affect fertility or can lead to relationship problems with your partner. In extreme cases sleep deprivation can stop ovulation altogether.

How to synchronize with nature’s cycles

Get at least one hour of bright sunlight a day

Try to get bright light soon after waking

Use full spectrum indoor bulbs during the winter months

Use a light simulation device 15-30 minutes first thing in the morning and once at night(particularly in winter)

Aim for total darkness at night. Use room darkening shades. Avoid the use of any lights whatsoever

On the three days of the full moon, try to bathe yourself in soft light while you sleep. A light from a closet, a 75-100 watt nightlight or even opening your blinds to the street light should do the trick.

Try to go to sleep with sun and get up with the sun. You might be surprised if you do not use lights or TV, how sleepy you get.

Make love during the full moon

Keep sleep and wake times consistent and avoid shift work. If you are tracking your ovulation signs, then you should taking your basal body temperature at the same time every morning anyway.

Efforts to conceive can be challenging and heartbreaking. The fertility enhancing methods mentioned here are easy, free, and painless. They will boost your overall health as well as your fertility so if you are trying to conceive it can only help and not hurt to synchronize your cycles with the earth.
