hi. my husband and i have been ttc for 12 months and we suffered a chemical pregnancy in the spring. since then i have ovulated one out of 3 cycles and did not ovulate one of the other two for sure (i didn't check in between). i went for an unsuccessful hsg last week where the radiologist said both tubes were blocked, but my obgyn doesn't think that's possible due to our previous pregnancy although he is concerned about one of them. that being said, i am scheduled to ovulate this week (positive thoughts) and i was going to start drinking raspberry leaf and chaste berry teas today as well as take evening primrose oil in an effort to help boost things along. has anyone had any success with any of these? if we don't conceive this month our next step is another hsg, followed by a laparoscopy all before clomid. i have never felt so helpless and less in control of something in my life. anything i can do to try and help would put my mind at ease. i don't know if me and my husband and i can take another month of doing it on demand for a week straight!

@GnRWedding14 I'm sorry you are going through this.  I know it's tough.  Last week, I had cramping and bloating due to starting vitex (chasteberry).  I have since cut back but it does do something, just not sure what.  Good luck. You aren't alone in this.

@GnRWedding14 I too had a chemical pregnancy once... We've been TTC for four years and it happened after only our second month of trying.  It's very frustrating and upsetting, and though it may not be much comfort, I'm told the good news is that we are able to get pregnant.  FX for you.  I am not familiar with the teas or primrose oil, but if you try them I hope they are helpful for you.
