Well, you could cut off Vitex at day 14 since that's average.. ? :)

Two hours ago I had milky white non stretchy cm and now I discovered a GLOB of 4- in stretchy clear mixed with white cm, but my OPK isn't yet positive yet. Weird!
I'm almost 2 weeks to the day of my M/C. I stopped Vitex yesterday incase it was holding O back.

Maybe day 13 to be safe? Well actually I didn't take it last night and I'm scared to take it today as well..I am gettin an HSG and the antibiotic said do not take while taking vitamins

That is weird! Not even a sign of it becoming positive?

Yes, probably day 13 to be safe would be good!
Yeah its VERY weird. My control line isn't even that dark...but my
HPT control is VERY dark with a ghostline. So I am in limbo, and I don't know what the
hell is going on right now. Perhaps later this afternoon I will have a positive.

I would stop about 1 or 2 days before I your average o day. I usually o on day 12 so I would stop it on day 10, my opk would turn + 24 he's later than I would o 24 he's after that. If I kept taking it, o would be late.

Update is: BD on Mother's Day.
Lots of EWCM tinged with white today, talked hubby into BD and I am going to insert repHresh beforehand.
FX!!!!!!

Used R about 45 mins before BD. I forgot about it so I didn't have much time, he didn't know I inserted it. LOL I think it will be okay.

Well if I don't get pregnant this month I def will take Vitex AF-O but FX!!

I've lost contact with my body recently AF was a week late and was irregularly weird this month. I kinda just wanted to get up and walk away from my body for confusing my mind this much! I am all out of OPK & if I order some I won't have it in time for the "big events" as I plan to DTD Thursday-next Thursday lol

For people who always have super long cycles, just take it for the first 13 or 14 days of your cycle and then stop.

In your situation Babyy, I would just stop it the day before you plan to start TTC.

Brilliant, NeedAGirl THANK YOU!!!!

I prefer it if people use RepHresh further out than that from BD - 8-12 hours. Otherwise you risk killing off all the sperm.

Some vitamins can cause certain antibiotics to be either less effective or supereffective and so you are not supposed to take vitamins while you're on them.

I couldn't find any hard data about vitex and antibiotics and so for safety's sake, prob. best to stop.
