Could anybody please help explain why

[afy]

So I started the He diet 5 November .. And I have been taking the regular
Supps EPO, fish oil, CQ10, folic acid and Prenatals.. I'm not planning to attempt at least until April/May time..
My cycles are 30days long yesterday was the day AF should have arrived but I haven't had anything.. Does anybody know if its possibly due to the supps or diet change I'm little confused as ive been on the diet over a week I'm not sure if this is long enough to make any changes to my regular cycle .. And there is no way I'm pregnant either!!

If you are positive you aren't pregnant, then the supps and swaying can mess with your cycle, I know it did mine.

[afy]

I'm positive I'm not pregnant.. I'm just abit worried that it may interfere with when I do want to TTC .. Did your cycle slowly go back to normal or did it slightly change?

EPO can mess up your cycle. If you want more ewcm, maybe switch to Robitussin/Mucinex.

Once you stop it, your cycle should go back to normal.

Once I stopped taking EPO it got a little better but it never went back to my usual 28 day cycle, it was 26 to 29 then to 27 it always stayed in the + or - 3 day range though

Oh wow I think I'm gonna lay off the EpO because my periods went through a little phase after my DD nothing drastic just up or down a few days but they have been on track for a good 6 months.. I don't wanna have to go through that again it gets harder with monitoring your Ovulation .. Thanks alot ladies appreciate the advice .. I notice alot of the women have had this problem

[afy]

We can only take mucinex and robittusin when we attempt isn't it or can we take that on a daily basis?

[afy]

Yea it's really annoying with your periods going up and down.. I noticed alot of the ladies said that EPO gave them slight problems.. I'm going to stop it and see how it goes .. Finding the peak ovulation day is definitely going to be the hardest part for me lol

5 days leading up to O, don't take it daily

[Cinss]

Yep i would suspect the EPO, seeing as you are not attempting until April/May you can either stay on it and your cycle may settle, or just drop it and they should go back to normal. You should be ok either way because as long as you are using opks you have fair warning when to start your attempts.

[afy]

Thanks so what is best done to leave off the EPO, take it once a day instead?

[Cinss]

Its totally up to you, did you have much ewcm this month? I know Dloui got her boy without it.

[afy]

Nope I didn't have much at all! Well actually I started my He diet after I ovulated but I clearly remember I was slightly dry ..

[Cinss]

Ok well you should see a difference next ovulation, keep up the water through out the day too.

[atomic sagebrush]

You Oed late, prob. as a result of the EPO - stop taking it a day or two before you expect O.

You may find you get used to it after a couple months.

Save it for the month of your attempt, there's no reason to take it now and I don't want it to get less effective for you by the time of your attempt.

It's not just the EPO, also flaxseed, l-arg, and fertile CM can cause it.

[afy]

I'm only EPO I'm not taking flaxseed or any others.. So should I stop taking them until AF arrives.. Or should I just continue taking EPO? I started the supps after my ovulation day though ..
With my period being late due to epo And incase it doesn't go back on track will it interfere with ovulation readings?

[Cinss]

Either stop all together, or take it once a day until a day or 2 before you think you will O, then stop until you get AF.

Right, I was just mentioning it in case you or anyone thought, "well if EPO does it, I'll switch to flax"

Your PERIOD can't be late from EPO, your period is late because you ovulated late. If you didn't start the EPO until after ovulation, then your period is late for some other reason and you need to take a pg test ASAP, and if you DTD unprotected thinking you had Oed, you might have gotten pg from later in the month.

EPO is usually taken Af-day before O to prevent it delaying ovulation but can be taken all month long in months you aren't going to be TTC.

Hey AS .. AF started 4days ago thank god.. i must have ovulated late i didnt DTD unprotected either I have ovulated late before but its been a few months now since AF have been on time and ive had exactly 30 day cycle.. really hope doesnt go up and down when i do TTC finding the right ovulation time is going to be really hard im already panicking lol some of the ladies talk about how theyv had confusing results with OPKS :worry:.. Im still taking EPO as i was before alongside with the Fish Oil... Im hoping i do get a nice amount of EWCM from taking the supps and diet because some cycles i have ALOT and some cycles there isnt much there! Would you know what are some of the best signs to look for when were about to ovulate? i know some of us get EWCM and cramping etc.. i just want to start learning about reading ovulation signs like i mentioned before i dont always get alot of EWCM..
thanks x
