Infertility suggestion
Many years ago I heard an infertility Dr. on the Today Show comment that every couple that comes to him with an unknown problem he will send home to try for 3 months w/o any caffine. It seems that for some caffine will work as birth control. Just cutting down won't work....100% caffine free, means no chocotale, no coffee, Pepsi, Orange Crush, Mountain Dew, etc.
Over the years since hearing this I have mentioned this resulting in 5 babies to 4 Women. The first one didn't really believe that was the reason she finally concieved until she couldn't get preg. with child #2.
Hope this helps anyone struggling. It is so easy just give up caffine before all the testing.

Hey, neat thread!
Great idea for a thread of perhaps "little known" things to help folks dealing with infertility.
I've not heard that about caffeine before.Is that the woman only, or both?
To add one: We were told by the doctor for DH to wear boxers instead of jockey shorts, since jockey shorts hold heat close to the body,etc. Didn't work for us, but it did for another couple we know. They laughed when I told them what the doctor had said, but tried it anyway. It worked.

Hi, I'm new to TNH (Lovin' it!). I was clicking around and this subject caught my attention. I finally had my baby at age 43 with lots of help from science (IVF) and let me tell you - - my long journey to coceive led me to try allllll kinds of things. But here's an easy one if anyone is trying right now: cough syrup like Robitussin. It loosens mucus in your resp tract soooooooo - apply same theory to cervical mucus (use during your ovulatory phase). It didn't work for me but it supposedly has for others. IVF turned out to be the last resort and I guess I am lucky that at my age it worked, considering I took my poor little eggs to every bar, rock concert and late night parties all those years
