We have been trying to get pregnant for about 7 years now. I have a lot of problems with my periods. My gynecologist put me on chlomid but it didn't help me. I have heard that taking chaste berry and royal jelly have helped women get pregnant. I purchased fertility cm to try and help me. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Are your cycles regular? Has something been tried to help with regulating them if they aren't? Have you had any sort of diagnosis such as PCOS? I assume they have checked different hormone levels such as progesterone and prolactin? How many cycles have you been on the Clomid and at what dosage? Sometimes it is necessary to have a few rounds of it and it may need to be increased in strength. Often the next course of action is to go onto a different sort of medication such as Pergonal.
The herbal supplements work for some women, the chaste berry for example is for helping to improve hormone balance. They can take a few months to make a change, but some women will start with these before going to the Clomid. You would want to do one or the other, not combined.
