With all of these potion and supplements have any of them worked to delay o? I have progesterone tablets, would those work? If I can't delay it this cycle will be a bust :(
Thanks you for any help!

Vitex has been known to delay ovulation...and yes, progesterone has, too.

Any ideas when I should start taking the progesterone? Maybe 3 days before I expect O?

Sorry I forgot to mention that I'm supposed to be starting clomid this cycle too. Could the progesterone and delaying o for a couple of days have any negative effects with the clomid? Thanks !!

Probably, but just so you know, there's no guarantee when or if you'll ovulate this month if you use it that way.

Oh yeah...I would not mess with that...clomid has side effects....you don't want to be on it any longer than necessary. Can I ask why you want to delay O?

yes, but I wouldn't count on it.
If you aren't 110% sure you will be able to TTC this month, I would wait till next month to take the Clomid.

My dh has to go out of town and we really wanted to do one attempt at +opk plus another attempt around o+9,12.
I was trying to use the prog tablets to delay the start of my cycle but I went a couple of days only taking one tablet so it come on.

Aww...got you!!! Sorry it didn't work.
Wishing you lots of luck for next month!! Sounds like you've got a good plan in place with the clomid!!

AAAA no don't do that. Esp. since you have taken Clomid!!!!
The only way it would have worked out is if it had delayed AF from coming. But that didn't happen and so now you have to stop the prog and just go with whatever happens.

Oh thank you! I havent started the clomid yet and I think now I may skip the month. Even if I could have moved it for my dh my biorhythms and moon would still be wrong. I would have gone on with the attempt but with a little less confidence. And now after reading your essay on the seasons it's making me a little more nervous to try the next couple of months. Maybe I should wait until nov/dec as much as I wanted a may baby...

I would not have you take Clomid unless you were for sure able to attempt that month so I think you are making the right decision.
I got my girl in Nov. which is a boy peak month, and two of my boys in Mar (girl peak). It's just something to consider and no magic bullet, I would never move a sway because of that.
