Female Fertility: How does it work?

Ovulation occurs when the ovary releases an egg about half way through the menstrual cycle. The egg then passes down into the fallopian tubes. If the woman has had sex and there are sperm present, the egg can then be fertilized and conception occurs. The fertilized egg then travels into the uterus, where it implants itself in the uterine lining approximately 6 - 10 days after conception.

While this process seems simple, it is, in fact, a complex process involving systemic, hormonal, emotional, as well as reproductive health. While it may normally take a few months to fall pregnant, further help may be needed if a woman has not become pregnant within a year (or 6 months for women over 35).

Causes of infertility in sexually active women include genetic factors, endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, chlamydia, infection, early miscarriage, scarring or obstruction of the fallopian tubes, hormonal imbalance, cigarette smoking, obesity, excessive exercise, emotional and psychological factors, incorrect nutrition, drug abuse, stress and many other factors.

How does Male Fertility Work?

Sperm are produced in the seminiferous tubules in the testes, which are also responsible for the production of testosterone, a male sex hormone, essential for male sexual functioning and fertility, amongst other things.

The process of sperm production, from the formation of germ cells, to fully mature sperm cells, takes about 70 days. When sperm development is complete, sperm are released from the seminiferous tubules and travel to the epididymis, where they become more mature and mobile. Sperm are stored in the epididymis until ejaculation, when contractions push a small amount of sperm into the vas deferens, through the prostate gland and into the urethra.

As the sperm travels down the reproductive tract, fluid is added by the prostate gland and seminal vesicles to produce semen. More than 90% of the ejaculatory fluid is produced by the prostate gland and seminal vesicles, which is why men who have had a vasectomy can still ejaculate normally.

In order for a man to be fertile, he needs to produce mature, healthy and mobile sperm in sufficient quantities to ensure the fertilization of the female egg. Ability to achieve and sustain an erection for long enough to ejaculate and deposit the sperm in the female reproductive tract is also important for natural conception.

Although there may be many causes of male infertility (genetic causes, infection, heat, tobacco, drug and alcohol abuse, sperm antibodies, inadequate testosterone production, poor nutrition, stress, scarring of the reproductive tract, some prescription drugs, pesticides and other chemicals and even hormones in meat and the food chain), no cause can be found in approximately 40% of men with fertility problems. This is called ideopathic infertility.

Traditional Fertility Tonic Herbs for Male and Female Reproductive Health and Potency

Millions of couples are affected by infertility. Many undergo months or even years of expensive and frustrating fertility treatment without positive results.

While some causes of infertility can only be corrected by surgery, herbal remedies have been used successfully for thousands of years in traditional medicine in order to increase fertility and improve the functioning of the male and female reproductive systems.

Native Remedies, together with experts in the field, has formulated herbal fertility tonics for men and women.

Fertile XX (fertility tonic for women) and Fertile XY (fertility tonic for men) contain carefully selected herbs to promote reproductive health, increase sperm production, regulate ovulation and improve overall systemic health, without the negative side effects of prescription drugs and conventional infertility treatments.

Phyto-therapy (herbal therapy) has assisted many couples to have the baby that they long for. When treating infertility using herbal fertility tonics, the remedies should be taken by both male and female for maximum results.

How Can Herbal Fertility Tonics Help?

Herbs have been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years to increase fertility and to treat conditions which prevented couples from conceiving.

There is therefore a large body of traditional evidence to support the effectiveness of certain herbs in treating infertility and promoting successful conception and pregnancy.

In recent times, many of these herbs have been subject to research trials and their effectiveness has been clinically supported.

How Do the Herbs in Fertile XX and Fertile XY work to help couples who are struggling to fall pregnant?

No medicine, including herbal medicine, can help if there are structural problems that affect infertility or when infertility is due to serious genetic problems. It is therefore important to consult your doctor in order to find out what is preventing pregnancy. This will ensure that you receive the correct treatment.

Where there are no structural or genetic causes of infertility, Fertile XX and Fertile XY can help to improve fertility and ensure that the male and female reproductive systems are in peak health in order to increase the chances of conceiving a baby.

Some of the herbs can also correct hormone imbalances and increase sperm and testosterone production, as well as regulate the process of ovulation, promoting the production of healthy eggs.

For those couples who are eager to conceive, using Fertile XX and Fertile XY will optimize reproductive health and promote easy and healthy conception.

If you are struggling to conceive, Fertile XX and Fertile XY will help treat the problems that are making it difficult to fall pregnant, ensuring that all systems in the reproductive process are operating normally and therefore increasing the chances of falling pregnant.

Native Remedies is so certain that you will be completely satisfied with their wonderful, natural products, that they offer a 60-day unconditional money back guarantee*.

Fertile XX (for women) contains the following fertility enhancing herbs:

Vitex agnus-castus (Chasteberry) helps the pituitary gland in the brain to stimulate the ovulation process and has been shown to improve production of progesterone and inhibit the production of prolactin. A deficiency in progesterone and high prolactin levels can both inhibit ovulation and make it difficult to conceive. Chasteberry has been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years. In recent times, it has been increasingly accepted, even by conventional Western medicine, as an effective treatment to promote hormonal balance and health.

Cimicifuga racemosa (Black Cohosh) has been used for thousands of years by native Americans and some forms of the herb have also been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is used for a variety of complaints, but has become well known in the Western World for its beneficial effect on hormone functioning due to its phyto-estrogenic properties. Black Cohosh is also used by herbalists to prevent miscarriage. Many women miscarry very early in pregnancy and may not even realize that they have been pregnant.

Eleutherococcus senticosis (Siberian Ginseng) is an ancient and highly respected Chinese tonic with a wide variety of medicinal uses. Chinese herbalists recommend Siberian Ginseng to restore vital energy and promote overall systemic functioning. It is known to support sexual functioning and to promote fertility and is often recommended as an aphrodisiac. It can also be very beneficial in the treatment of infertility related to stress. Used regularly, Siberian Ginseng can regulate the menstrual cycle, improve hormone balance and tone the uterus to improve the ability of the foetus to implant after conception.

Fertile XY (for men) contains the following fertility enhancing herbs:

Epimedium grandiflorum, also known as Yin Yang Huo or Horny Goat Weed, is a powerful remedy in Traditional Chinese Medicine and has been used for thousands of years to promote male potency and as an aphrodisiac. Recent research has confirmed that Yin Yang Huo can increase sperm production and stimulate sexual desire.

Centella Asiatica, also known as Gotu Cola, is well known in Ayurvedic (Indian) and African Traditional Medicine and has a wide range of beneficial effects. Regular use helps to strengthen connective tissue and the cells in the walls of blood vessels, including the seminiferous tubules which manufacture sperm. Improved circulation due to the use of Gotu Cola will ensure adequate blood supply and nutrition to the male organs and also helps to strengthen erections and sexual desire.

Tribulus terristis (also known as Gokshura) is another important Ayurvedic remedy, which is an excellent tonic for the reproductive system. Gokshura has been used in Ayurvedic Medicine for thousands of years as a tonic for the reproductive system, to enhance the health of reproductive organs and to treat infertility. It is also beneficial in the treatment of stress (which can interfere with fertility) due to its calming effect on the nervous system. Using Fertile XX and Fertile XY together can optimize male and female reproductive health and increase the chances of healthy conception.

How do I use Fertile XX and Fertile XY?

Fertile XX and Fertile XY are both concentrated tinctures which come in convenient drop form. The therapeutic dose is 15 - 20 drops in a little water or juice, three times a day.

One bottle lasts approximately one month.

Although all the ingredients in Fertile XX and Fertile XY are well tolerated and safe, safety in pregnancy has not yet been established. As a precaution it is therefore best for women to stop taking them as soon as conception has taken place.

How long until I see results?

This is a difficult question to answer and of course everyone who wants a baby wants quick results! Remember that instead of artificially stimulating ovulation and sperm production (which has risks of multiple births and other problems), natural remedies help your body to optimize reproductive health, balance hormones responsible for reproduction and sexual health and improve overall systemic functioning.

Depending on many factors, this may take a few months and even up to a year or longer. Of course, babies also have a way of coming when they feel they are ready, so this is another factor to be taken into consideration!

How long will a bottle last?

One bottle will last approximately one month. (A 90-day supply is offered at a 33% discount, see our Buy 2 Get 1 FREE special below)

Can I use Fertile XX and Fertile XY along with medicines for conventional medical fertility treatment?

Yes you can. However, if you are undergoing conventional fertility treatment, it is always advisable to inform your doctor that you are taking a herbal fertility tonic.

What People Using Fertile XX and XY Have Said

"My husband and I decided to start trying to fall pregnant at the beginning of the year. My sister and my mother always struggled for ages to conceive, so we decided to use herbs to help us along. We found Fertile XX and Fertile XY on the internet and it sounded good so we both began using it, expecting to fall pregnant within about 6 months. Well, we were so surprised to find that I was pregnant after only three months!! During this time, we both noticed that we had more energy and we definitely enjoyed sex more! I am already two months pregnant and feeling fit as a fiddle and we have decided that when we plan our next child, we will definitely use your products again." Ursula V.

"I am married for 6 years and have never taken the pill but I have no baby. My husband said we must try the herbal tonics which I refused because I was not sure about them. he did convince me and I am so glad because I became pregnant after 5 months. I was nearly ready to give up but he told me to continue and now I am so happy about my pregnancy. Thanks to my husband and to Feelgood health!" - Gladys M.

"My wife and myself went for tests as she had not fallen pregnant after two years of trying. The tests showed that she was ready to have a baby but my sperm count was very low, which was a big shock for me. I always see a homeopath and he recommended Fertile XY to increase my sperm, which I agreed to because I was feeling bad that I could not give my wife the baby that she wanted so much. I am so happy to report that our first baby is due to be born in January next year. My wife is also very pleased with me!." Malcolm R.

"Two years ago I had a miscarriage, and since then I have been unable to fall pregnant. August 2004 I went on an IVF treatment, which failed. Since January 2005 I did not have a menstrual cycle. I was on the pill to regulate this but just never worked. Two months ago I read about the Fertile XX and XY and that same month I had a cycle, and during the same week of my cycle my husband and I started the Fertile XX and XY, only to find out I am now 8 weeks pregnant. My body has been through so much, I believe that the product works. So to anyone who has been trying and is still trying to fall pregnant, to give this product a chance. Thank you to Native Remedies."- Rita, Gauteng

"We have been trying to have a baby for 4 years even went through fertility testing and artificial insemination with no results next step was to do the IVF. While I was researching for IVF medication I came across this site with herbal remedy for infertility, So we decided to give it a shot before IVF. We bought a 3 month supply because in the testimonials women got pregnant in 6 months after trying the product. My husband and me only took it for one week before my fertile days and guess what, 3 weeks later I started feeling like I had the stomach flu for 3 days and on the third day I got a pregnancy kit and tested, the result was positive. I have never had a positive result in my entire 40 years. Of course I did not believe it, so took another test with the different brand and got the same result. Then went to doctor and the blood work was positive too. I am now 5 weeks pregnant. So I would advise anybody out there that this product works if you do not have any structural defect so try it you will not regret it." - Catherine

"Thank you very much for such amazing products. After two years of trying to get pregnant and last fall being told that the only way we would get pregnant was through IVF, your Fertile XX/XY got us pregnant in 1 1/2 months of taking it. We are extremely happy, blessed and thankful. Thank you!!!"- Judith R.

"My husband and I have been trying conceive for 7 years with no other options but IVF. Also, during that process we discovered I had a blocked tube which had to be removed. I started researching and came upon Fertile XX. My husband and I discussed it and decided to give it a try. After only two weeks of taking Fertile XX we became pregnant. We would seriously like to thank Native Remedies for giving us hope again."- A.W. , GA
