Hoping For Another Pink Rainbow Vitex Journey
:ttcgirl:Hi ladies! :wave: Welcome to my new Rainbow of Hope thread! I am leaving the old sad thread behind and all my updates will be posted here.
Since Saturday evening here is what I have been doing: (I'm on TTC day 5)
Nature's Way Vitex- 2 capsules in the morning
Nature's Way Red Raspberry Leaf Capsules - 2 capsules in the morning - Since I can't stand tea, I am taking these to strengthen and heal my uterus, and it's doing a bang up job since I started them! I'm no longer bleeding from my M/C!!
Magnesium
Calcium with some Vitamin D
Vitamin D3
B50 Complex
Folate
Other: Sylk lube
All of those supplements are what I used to conceive my DD after M/C the only difference is I added more vitamin D because I think I am low! Also adding Folate!
Now I want to start by saying that If you choose to take Vitex I'm going to post exactly how to take it. I highly suggest that you purchase a cheap ovulation predictor kit off of ebay. I've purchased this combo several times while TTC.
You need these ovulation tests: 100 Ovulation Tests Strips Fast SHIP from USA | eBay
You also need these pregnancy tests: 100 HCG Urine Pregnancy FDA Approved Bluecross Babi Test Strip Fast SHIP from US | eBay You can purchase a smaller amount for a cheaper cost. I know the seller has other pregnancy tests but they don't work as well.
So what I do, and what atomic will tell you as well is that you want to take Vitex from CD1 to an almost positive ovulation test. So basically, you don't take Vitex in your 2 week wait!
I even recommend that you take a pregnancy test to ensure you aren't pregnant because you don't want to be taking Vitex while you are pregnant, it can cause problems.
So considering last Sat my CD1 I am going to take it up to cycle day ten, eleven tops, because if I take Vitex too close to when I'm supposed to ovulate (around day 14-16), it can hold back my ovulation.. and I don't want that! I think with my last MC I took it for 8 days and then I took the raspberry leaf capsules longer and then weaned off.
Now for my baby dancing: Hubby has had to do frequent release for a couple weeks because I was bleeding so we held off. But since I was spotting brown we successfully BD Monday night May 11, and then last night I had stopped spotting completely May 12 -both BD around 10:30pm We used Sylk lube. :FX: that OPK gets darker! It's been doing that weird fade in and out thing that it did last time! So I'm starting my sway by being very positive and :pray: ing. I'm so excited to getting a little bean back in there but this time a sticky healthy thriving bean! Hopefully pink! :xx: My chinese gender chart (make sure you figure our your lunar age, not actual age) says I'm good to go PINK for the next 3 months so I'm going for it!! LOL I'll post my current OPK later my email isn't behaving!
