see that's just the way it goes! you make the appointment and get all ready for the next step and then bam! you'll get a bfp lol

i kept having early losses/chemicals in between my two boys, made an appt, saw dr we talked about maybe progesterone and then the next week I realized I was pregnant..and we never did the progesterone...

Just what I was going to say. That by making the appointment you'll get your bfp!

Spinning that test at14dpo looks great. Mine was gone by then. I bet your good for sure fx

Joining this thread today--ovulated Saturday and bd'd Friday and Sunday so...fingers crossed. Had a freak out today bc I took an Advil cold & sinus for a sinus headache and then remembered u aren't supposed to take ibuprofen when pg or ttc :( it can deter ovulation (too late for me, pretty confident I o'd) but can also deter implantation...errr do u think one pill will make a difference?

Hi ladies! Just wanted to pop in real quick and say that I can now *officially* join this thread! Pretty sure O was yesterday, so I'm in the 2WW now. Not feeling very confident that I'll get pg this month, but that's okay bc I still have weight to lose and another month on the diet will hopefully shed some more pounds. :agree:

BZ94, I don't think one pill will matter. Good luck! :)

Congrats Suregena!!
Hugs to those who are still waiting <3
I just found out today that DH got the new job. I've got to go get him from the depot tomorrow. Then he will be home for just over 2 weeks :) I'm super excited about that. I should O this weekend. DH will be here until I either have a Bp or AF.

Well, the doctors office didn't call me back today & my appt is Oct 25th. I'm going back on Vitex until then. I really hope it works this time!!

Beadin (HUGS) for you. I know you are going through a lot with this whole TTC. Let me just tell you, though, I was on Vitex since February, to get AF back after PP. I extended BF for a long time. So finally I Od in late June and I continued the Vitex. But then last month, my second Ov, didn't come until 35 days! I usually have irregular, long cycles, but suspected it was from the Vitex, which in too high doses can suppress O. So, this month i halved my dose (to 450 mg) and I O'd 12 days sooner! This is about my normal. I think taking too many hormone altering supplements can definitely backfire. Are you taking any others? What is your VItex dose?

Spinnin: those are great BFPs!!

Beadin I reckon it just might do the trick for you! Its pretty much what happened with me, we had all the testing done = all clear, and i convinced DH that if the month was another failure then we were going to the fertility specialist - and ala, i got my BFP finally :)

Have you been on vitex long? I think i have heard that for some women it can cause issues if taken for too long?
Maybe give Soy a shot, its supposed to be the natural equivalent to clomid - and it did the trick for me and suregena..

Best of luck hun, i really really hope this happens for you soon! I'll be stalking you LOL..

Beadin, I'm so sorry you're feeling down and having issues with your cycle. :( Is this the only cycle that has gone long and crazy for you? I ask because I've had that happen before...I usually have pretty regular cycles, but then once in awhile, I'll have one long, strange, and crazy cycle just out of the blue. It might be related to stress or something else, I really don't know. But then my next cycles will be fine, back to normal. It's possible that you just had one really weird cycle. I think it's good that you're starting back up on the Vitex (AF-O) because I think it will help put your body back into a rhythm and may help you have a little bit of a more normal cycle this time. Either way, (((hugs))) to you, because I definitely understand how frustrating all of this can be.

Thanks Sweetpea! I had a good feeling, especially with all the BFPs going around. I was so scared that my temp would be down today, but it was the exact same as yesterday so I tested. I had been sick all last week so had some wacky high temps. The only other symptoms I have had all week is a crampy O-like pain in my right ovary and some slight uterus cramps. I didn't have the greatest sway due to my O being 12 days sooner this cycle, and I had just come back from vacation... I posted my attempt in that thread.

Genie, congrats!!!

Spinning, right now it's May 26, but I have a scan in the morning because of high hcg levels, so we'll see.

Aww thanks Lassie!! ♥
And the rest of you ladies, too... it really does make me feel better to have the support and advice of you guys!!

I took vitex for 4 months before I quit this month. And this was the first crazy month I've had. I cannot ever remember a time that I wasn't 28 days with O on CD14. Every other time I ttc, I never used opks, just dtd on & around CD14. I was running from a hurricane this cycle and I was completely stressed out because of flashbacks of Katrina, so I'm sure it's stress that caused this...BUT...I'm 40 and I know I say that all the time, but I feel like my window is closing, so I don't want to spend too much time waiting around to see if things work themselves out, ya know? (Oh yeah, that's probably the longest sentence I have ever written, LOL. Sorry!)

So I'm hoping the vitex puts me back on track and by the time I have my OB appt, it'll be my first prego visit. (How AWESOME would that be?!) ;)

And a BIG congrats to all you ladies with the BFPs!! Those of us still waiting are excited to have such a big cheering section!!! :) ♥

fingers crossed for a bfp - where abouts are you in your cycle hun x

Thanks Mrs. P. I know it will happen eventually but it is just so hard for me especially since I am already considered to have fertility problems. I previously went through 3 failed IUI's so the fact that it is taking so long really doesn't help me feel better the second time around. I am on CD 6 today. I am on day 4 of the Soy and I upped my dose for 100mg to 120mg. Swaying Pink obviously doesn't help either, lol.

I'm still waiting on the nurse to call me back to discuss the situation & actually made an appt, just in case she doesn't. Unfortunately, the soonest I could get in is Oct. 25, which I guess isn't THAT bad, but I was hoping I wouldn't have to waste another month.
In the best situation, I'll ovulate this month anyway and end up with a BFP before I get to that appt. (Saying prayers that happens!!)

I've always had VERY regular cycles...28 days, O on CD14. I had been taking SP, vitex (sp & V until a couple days before O), folic acid and Baby ASA (entire cycle) since May. I continued with everything except the vitex this last month.
I don't know if quitting it or the stress of the hurricane caused anovulation and now I'm not sure if I should start back on the vitex again or just wait to see what the doctor says.

Anyway, I love you guys and I am SO GRATEFUL you all are here and so supportive...I couldn't get through this without ya!! ♥

honey i know how you feel massive temp drop today so just waiting for af, i can't stop crying i just feel so frustrated and sad how can i go from getting preggie by accident twice to not being able to get pregnant at all. can't concentrate on anything both boys cried when i left them at nursery today.

i've got appt to see a dr today(did cheat and say i was an emergancy) but this is the only lady dr at the practise and i can't get another appointment until 2 oct the day after i o so i think it's urgent ;-0

i dropped the vitex too this month think i might go back on and consider soy too.........

I did vitex for 5 months in total, followed by one month of neither soy or vitex, and then 2 of soy, and got my bfp (second soy month)

The vitex didn't seem to alter my cycles at all, or move my ovulation, i'm pretty much a clockwork 27 days cycle, and cd 13-15 ovulation. I stopped the vitex because i was worried about the long term effect, and because i was desperate to get pregnant!

I had read a lot of success stories about soy so i thought i'd give it a try, it didn't make any change to my cycle or ovulation either, but with it i got my bfp - so wether it was the soy i'll never know....the other thing that was vastly different in my bfp cycle was that i found out that i had a retroverted uterus and so we did from behind and i lay on my stomach for 20 mins afterwards (as opposed to missionary followed by lying on back)

best of luck *luck*
