OTC Fertility Meds?

Has anyone ever been successful with over the counter fertility meds? I've found some herbal boosters and a few that say they will make your cervical mucous "more hospitable" but I was wondering if anyone has been told these are a good option to prescription fertility drugs and/or had experience with them. I haven't had enough cycles to warrant a visit to a specialist but it seems to be slow going and I'm getting rather obsessive. Any stories?

WOW!  Thank you!  I certainly don't want to risk it then.  I'll see how it goes for a while.

The main thing I worry about with herbal remedies is that a lot of them contain herbs that can cause spontaneous m/c if taken after o. Read all labels thoroughly and research each one to see what it really does and what the precautions are before taking them.
