What medication are you on right now? How much is your AMH & TSH? It is ideal to revisit all your parameters and do recent scans to assess your fertility health before advising anything.

Hello Sahrish,
Thank you for reaching out! can you please give details of all your reports whether you have also done your USG pelvis how much is your AMH, AFC count, hormonal levels? How is your husband’s semen report and give details of your intercourse history? There are many physical as well as psychological causes to infertility and it is required that the assessment of the couple needs to be done from both the angles. I hope you have done this from an Ayurvedic expert or a gynaecologist already. Yes, Ayurveda can surely help you in reversing whatever health condition you may be having or to injury boost your fertility, but for that a little more information is definitely required in the meanwhile, in the diet, you can start eating foods that are rich and nutritious according to Ayurved, foods that promote in Fertility are Amla, cows milk, cows ghee, walnuts, raisins, dates , pumpkin , pomegranate etc. Eat according to your hunger and this applies to your husband as well. You can start having Shatavari Ghritam , But this is general medication only after proper assessment, will I be able to tell you the correct dosage to be taken or any other medication to suit your requirements.

Namaste, Sahrish.
I understand your concern, and Ayurveda offers a holistic approach to support fertility. Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus) is an excellent herb for female reproductive health, as it nourishes Shukra Dhatu (reproductive tissues), balances hormones, and supports conception.
Yes, you can take Shatavari to enhance fertility, regulate ovulation, and improve uterine health.
It also helps manage stress and hormonal imbalances, which can impact conception.
You can take
Shatavari Churna – ½ teaspoon with warm milk twice daily.
Ashwagandha churna -1/2 tsp once daily
Include warm, nourishing foods like ghee, milk, almonds, walnuts, and dates.
Avoid cold, processed, and junk food that can disturb hormonal balance.
Sleep before 10 PM and maintain an stress-free routine.
Daily walking and yoga (Bhujangasana, Baddha Konasana)
Stay positive, and let me know if you need further guidance!

Hello Sahrish,To better assist you in your fertility journey, it would be helpful to know about your menstrual cycle (regularity, flow, and any associated symptoms), your emotional well-being, and your stress levels. Are you experiencing any other health issues such as irregular ovulation, hormonal imbalances, or signs of PCOS? Additionally, it would be useful to understand your diet, lifestyle, and any other treatments or supplements you're currently using. Any relevant family history of fertility issues, autoimmune conditions, or thyroid problems would also be important.
From an Ayurvedic perspective, fertility issues, especially with hypothyroidism like Hashimoto’s, can often point to an imbalance in Vata (which governs hormonal regulation and reproductive health) and Kapha (which controls nourishment and tissue building). With your history of miscarriage, there might be a need to support your Rasa Dhatu (plasma and reproductive tissues) and balance Agni (digestive fire), which is crucial for proper hormone synthesis and absorption of nutrients.
Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus) is a well-known herb in Ayurveda that is considered a Rasayana (rejuvenator) and is beneficial for promoting female reproductive health. It can help regulate hormones, support the reproductive tissues, and reduce stress, which may improve fertility. However, it's crucial to consider it as part of a holistic plan that addresses other potential imbalances in your system. For temporary support, along with Shatavari, herbs like Ashwagandha (to balance stress and support thyroid function), Gokshura (to support reproductive health), and Triphala (for detoxification and digestion) may be useful. Also, a lifestyle that incorporates yoga and pranayama could help reduce stress and enhance hormonal balance.

Sorry to hear about your struggles – conceiving can be such an emotional rollercoaster, can't it? Shatavari is indeed a well-regarded herb in Ayurveda for supporting women's health, including fertility. It’s known to nourish the reproductive system and balance hormones, which sounds pretty useful in your case. But let's not jump the gun—there're a few things we’d wanna keep in mind.
First things first, let's talk about the thyroid. Since you’re already taking levothyroxine, you'd definitely want to have a chat with your endocrinologist or healthcare provider before adding anything new, even if it seems natural. Sometimes, herbs can interact with medications in unexpected ways.
Shatavari is usually considered safe, but dose matters. You’d wanna start with a gentle dose, maybe 500 mg per day and see how your body reacts, then gradually increase to around 1-2 grams. It can be taken in a powder form, mixed with warm milk or water, and taken twice daily - morning and evening are good times.
Speaking of lifestyle, focus on nourishing, sattvic foods which help in keeping your agni – the digesting fire – balanced. Think warm, cooked meals with good fats like ghee. This'll support overall health and nurture the reproductive tissues, or shukra dhatu as we say in Ayurveda.
Stress factoring in? Goes without saying, but emotional and mental balance are key. Incorporate a few minutes of meditation or gentle yoga into your day to calm your mind and body.
Lastly, don't forget to work closely with your healthcare providers. Mention to both your allopathic doc and an Ayurvedic practitioner about adding Shatavari to your routine. Keeping them in the loop will reduce the chances of any hiccups along the way.
Oh! And remember, nothing changes overnight. Be patient with your body and kind to yourself. You've been through a lot!
