Getting pregnant after the pill isn’t as easy as you may hope. The reason is because chemical birth control pills contain artificial hormones. These hormones prevent the endocrine system from reacting as it normally would and as a result the reproductive hormones will become unbalanced.
It can take several months to over a year for the body to right itself after stopping the pill. Think of the hormones as a fine tuned instruments in a symphony. Each one no matter how delicate or strong has a role to play to make the body hum along – or function – properly. When in balance – all systems work beautifully. When unbalanced it’s as if the instruments were replaced with trash can lids and kazoos.
The key to helping the body to achieve pregnancy is to first balance the reproductive hormones. You can do this through natural means and if there are no other infertility issues, they work very well.
First step is to learn to chart your fertility signs, so you can see where the hormone issues are. Study the Charting Basic articles to learn more about this. Charting will help you to see when your hormone issues are correct as well.
Second step is to cleanse your body of the chemical birth control pills. Look into taking a natural liver and colon cleanse. Drink plenty of water. You can read about cleansing for TTC at InfertilityWorkshop.com
Cycle Pro Balance Natural Progesterone Cream
Use the cream from either day 7 through day 28 of your cycle for 1 to 3 months. Another thing that really helps, get a good natural progesterone cream. I highly recommend Cycle ProBalance Natural Progesterone Cream. Read the natural progesterone cream cleansing for TTC article.
This helps to balance the endocrine system faster. You won’t ovulate during this, but when you stop the cream, you may have a very strong ovulation. If you don’t know when the first day of your last cycle was – just go ahead and use the cream for 3 weeks.
Once you stop the cream – and ovulate, start back on the cream and use during the luteal phase (and through pregnancy too!). It helps to lengthen the luteal phase and helps to prevent early miscarriages that are causes from hormonal deficiencies.
Hi – just picking up on your point about natural methods, reflexology has some fantastic results with this kind of issue. It helps to rebalance the endocrine system and rid the body of nasty toxins that often loiter in the reproductive organs preventing implantation. Make sure you find a credible reflexologist though – the association of reflexologists has a site that will help.
I’ve been off the pill since July 2010. Now, i’m dealing with vaginal dryness and i can’t use any lubicants because they all burn and itch in the vaginal area. My husband and i really want to have another child, but it is going to be imposible with this constant problem. I’ve been to my OB doctor to have infection tests and never have anything. She said we have to try for a year before they will do any testing. How can I deal with this dryness until the next four months are up.
I have tried we have tried all kinds of differnt lubicants and nothing seems to help ease the dryness. It hurts to wear underware, pants, or anything that touches my vaginal area. How am I supposed to just deal with this untill July 2011? I am really frustrated with the whole situation because everything I try just makes me hurt and burn more. Anyone else out there having this problem and what should I be doing?
Consider giving up wheat as much as possible. You may very well have too much yeast in your body from the pill and it is wreaking havoc. Check out http://www.aliveprobiotics.com. Getting your digestive tract and your good flora back will be very helpful. http://www.infertilityworkshop.com has a good natural progesterone cream cleanse as well.
That is just awful what you are going through. Really, consider giving up as many grains as possible for a while.
