First, relax and breath. Some questions: Have you been on hormonal birth control? If so, how long has it been since discontinuing it? Depending on the method used, it can take from 6 months to 2 years for fertility to return. Be patient.
Since hormonal contraception interferes with the natural flow of hormones, I recommend a good herbal fertility combination. Here is one I like: http://taohealingarts.com/bd203.html. In addition, since hormonal methods stress the liver, I also recommend taking http://taohealingarts.com/bp404.html as well. Of course, even if you have never used hormonal birth control, herbal formulas for the female reproductive system are still recommended. These two, female formula and liver formula, are also very good: http://store.healmarketplace.com/drinks/female-formula

For your diet, choose foods grown without chemicals. Eat healthy fats: butter, coconut oil, coconut oil, cod liver oil/butter oil from www.greenpasture.org. Eat green, leafy vegetables, pasture-raised eggs, meat, bone broth. All grains should be soaked for about 8 hours before cooking to improve digestibility.
Keep a chart of your signs of fertility as discussed on www.knowyourfertility.net, in the free download called, Fertility Awareness. If you do not conceive in the first few cycles, continue observing and charting your signs of fertility, but add the following:
Castor oil pack over abdomen 3 – 4 times weekly. To make a castor oil pack, cut a piece of old terry cloth big enough to cover lower abdomen. Place cloth on pan or griddle and warm on stove, soaking cloth with castor oil. Leave on heat until very warm but not hot enough to burn. Place castor oil soaked cloth on lower abdomen, cover with a piece of plastic, and lie down to rest for about an hour with hot water bottle or heating pad over castor oil pack. Repeat 3 – 4 times weekly. Do not underestimate castor oil pack. In Spanish it is called “Hand of Christ.” I have known women to dissolve tumors, ovarian cysts, and open clogged fallopian tubes with castor oil packs.
On the off days, when not doing a castor oil pack, massage the lower abdomen deeply but gently for as long as is comfortable. After the abdominal massage, massage the feet, especially the big toe on each foot. The reflexology point for the pituitary is on the big toe. The pituitary is the beginning of the cycle of ovulation.
Speak to the child that you are inviting. Send her/him love. Be grateful for everything you have.
Let me know if you have questions on the above.
Many Blessings, Marie
