Will you do vitex again or leave it out? I am 37 and will be closer to 38 once I start ttc again. Just waiting to get AF back and then I will see what my cycles are like. They do tend to be a bit crazy so maybe wondering if it was actually the vitex which mucked up my ovulation?Quote:

jude17 - I've already started taking Vitex again. I'm hoping it will help bring my normal cycles back more quickly after my m/c. Having your cycles be a little unpredictable and different than usual might be a good thing for TTC a girl.
I would totally try Vitex (even swaying blue) IF AND ONLY IF my cycles were long or irregular....over the past year and a half of being on swaying boards, I've seen oodles of women have issues when they take it with a normal cycle. Just my 2 cents, though.
I have normal cycles and just started taking vitex. I haven't noticed a change in my cycle. I heard if swaying pink the change in your cycle may be exactly what you want! Zanacal had a good perspective on this. If she sees this chime in....
I regularly Oed, but my cycles were on the long side. Vitex totally tightened up my cycle and now I O on CD13 or 14 usually.
it's also one of those supplements that can take months to show results.
Hi everyone,
Good and contradictory things about vitex. It seems to change or for some people and not others.
So, I am so sorry to say this but I have second guessed my ovualation. I really think I actually did not ovulate. I know I wrote an earlier post that the cbfm did not peak but the OPKS did...well, I think maybe it was an early LH surge and I still have yet to peak. I am totally embarassed!
So, now I am also perplexed again!!!
Does anyone believe in timing? I just cannot unwrap my head despite all the scientific journals stating timing is not an issue and all the shettles opposites!
Every ovulation calendar gives you the choice of choosing your gender with a cutoff...it really is confusing.
So, what we THOUGHT we did was 0-24 second batch from DH dtd, o-6 but really...that was shallow and dumb!, and 0 plus 20 and we really thought that it was too late. I also douched before so I think that was dumb. It was a rephresh douche so I think it was still viable for sperm.
Unlike many of you with perspective, I seem to have lost all of mine.
I am calmer right now assuming there is still sperm in there and then we can just wait and see! However, if I really have not ovulated.....I feel the need to dtd again.
My OPK this am was starting to turn positive but was taking a long time. It is the second batch of positive OPKS.
I am wondering if a week of vitex has this effect?
Should I keep going w bding?
My lunar o is tomorrow...GIRL!
My Jonas o is SUn.MOn morning...GIRL!
I really want to get pregnant so I can stop this compulsive and obsessive roller coaster...it is clearly evident. My posts are everywhere and I think I am addicted to these sites. Actually, I know I am!
I guess time will tell if I ovulated.
Should I keep dtd? Does anyone still believe in timing?
Why are people choosing one shot 2 days before?
Just curious!
Sorry for my ranting and my clearly obsessive behaviour!
I actually have two University degrees! Could you tell!?lol
Doula mama...yeah, us today!
Can't wait to hear!!!
Hope and zan..how long do you have to take vitex to sway? what does it do?
Mocah: I think vitex is good for you after your mc. It will start to balance hormones right?
I really am unsure exactly how much rephresh I used. Only 2 tubes overall I think. I stopped using it on my "fake" or real o day. I did use rephresh douche? Is this bad?
Has anyone seen success with cutoff and o plus 12? I know timing does not matter...again, still trying to figure it all out. IF, big IF, I am still gearing up to peak:
Should I give up timing and just keep going and assume it is 5050. Do I wait and see if I timed a 2.5 cutoff and hope girl?
Do I wait and if there is still an o, then do o plus?
I know, I sound crazy!
DH has had it with me...lol. He is still appeasing me one more month and then...that is it! He actually said I will dtd on cd 12 no matter what. Solid attempt and leave it at that! Maybe he is right!
hey Capricorn: 9 weeks right? Is this pregnancy different? Are your girls excited or did you tell them? When will you find out gender?
Lemon-its still not 50/50 you did other things to sway besides timing-even if your timing was not where you wanted it.
I've never paid much attention to Jonas and Lunar signs.. I want to look for fun. What is it and how do I find out?
Hey Hope!
I think timing is not important...and I think I will ovulate tomorrow. My body played tricks on me! It is sooo weird! I am fairly convinced I have strange cm and I think the bding, the represh and the early OPK surge threw me off. I am having another OPK surge I think.
Anyway, considering I will o tomorrow do I leave it at a 2.5 day cut off....go for it again...wait for o plus?

I have no idea but it sure does make it easier when it is a girl month!
Hey Lemon,if you are again testing pos on your ovulation tester maybe you are ovulating again,?Or you were trying to last time but you know it can be delayed from stress...you sound a bit stressed ,,, if you dont relax your body will wait until you do!So your egg might be still waiting to go.Drink a peppermint tea and chill,your raising your testosterone levels and that really sways boy!
If you feel you need to dtd again then do it your instincts are usually right over any tests ..and it might make you feel better knowing it is on a girl moon and such too!
FX for you :)
