Comments:
I also did a lot of meditation, took a lot of hot baths and had as many orgasms as possible (hoping for uterine contraction). I also made sure that my partner was fully aware of everything I was doing.
Since then we've testing birth control. I take Wild Yam and he takes Neem. It’s been a little over a year with excellent results, but now I’m pregnant again. I think we'll continue to try this method, but one more “oopps” and it'll have to be something else.
