Noooooo - can supplements move O?

I am 4 weeks into LE diet and half way through my last cycle before we make an attempt during my next cycle.

I have been using this month as a test i.e., sticking to supplements, diet and testing out OPKs etc just so that during my attempt month (next cycle) I feel comfortable with everything and hopefully no stress worrying if I am doing things right during my attempt month.

My hubby and I have had unprotected DTD inc. a couple of withdrawals in the last couple of weeks with the last time being last night.... from this point we planned to use protection as it will be then 10 days before my normal O date (I have been charting for the last 8 months and can now normally predict within a day or so). I felt fairly confident his sperm wouldnt stay around for 10 days!

HOWEVER I had side pains this afternoon and low back ache. On a whim I took an OPK and it was blaring glaringly POSITIVE. No no no!

Could all the supplements I have been taking as part of my plan cause O to be as much as 10 days early?

If so it means I DDT the night before a positive OPK.

Aaarrrggghhhh what do you think?!

Well yes it is totally possible...are you taking Vitex? That messed my cycle up. Also L-arginine, EPO, and a couple of others.

One attempt day before +OPK sounds like a pretty good girl sway tactic! Don't panic!

Vitex delayed mine by a few days, too

LE made o 5 days earlier for me.

What are you taking? Sp, vitex, and peppermint tea all potentially screw up your cycle.

The first couple months on vitex I O'd a couple days early. Once I added saw palmetto it delayed it a few days. Good luck!

Did he withdraw the last time? It's pretty hard to get pregnant with a withdrawal but it can happen occasionally. We did it for a few years and never got pregnant but then first month DTD properly I was pregnant. If it was an inside job then sounds like you just had your first attempt lol. Good luck :). Fingers crossed for a sticky pink one!

I'm taking vitex and saw palmetto and both made my ridiculously irregular cycle (cycles length ranged from as short as 11 days to as long as 60 days... it was ridiculous!) become totally regular and predictable (28-30 days cycles). So, yes, they can definitely mess with O, either in a good way or a bad way. It all just depends on how your body handles it, which you might not know until you have been on it for a little while.

Diet can mess with Ovulation as well. Good luck !!

Vitex brought mine forward by 4-5 days and SP delayed it by 3 or 4. 10 days is a bit of a stretch though. Fx for you!
