TWW October (part 2)

Yes that's what I thought hopper. If you were to take anything then it would be aspirin (which is what I do a few times a week) due to vitamin content. Ive not bothered with any supps other Than that and folic acid as it's another stress id rather not have x

Quinn - yes progesterone bloods tomorrow. If they're ok, then im like you just take ages to conceive! And our charts look similar too [emoji57]

A lot have dropped the Vitex since I joined, it was very popular in 2014 then we postponed ttc so I didn't check in here until earlier this year and Vitex seemed to be less popular. I think if it's helping your cycles regulate then it's working for you. Cranberry is recommended for DHs but not us, right? Or at least it was when I got my personalised plan in 2014.

I do think both vitex and SP sway pink or I would not continue to recommend them. I 110% believe vitex worked for me both to restore my cycle when nursing and also helped me get my DD. BUT the issue is that (rather like with the Cran vs. OLE issue) the results have been disappointing overall - actually considerably less than the overall success rates of the site. Now, I suspect that it may be because V and SP have caused so much trouble for so many people that the only people who were able to get pregnant, may have been highly fertile and thus more "set" for blue AND/OR were able to get pregnant right away (becuase everyone who didn't get pregnant within a few months usually drops them) possibly meaning less time on diet. I also have totally given up on V and SP for anyone over 35 unless they insist on it because I felt like it really cut odds of conception for moms in that age range.

cranberry for DW does not work of this I"m convinced and I do not recommend it any more. For DH, I just posted explanation in my prev. post.

The fact is, without a blind, controlled study on JUST vitex or just saw palmetto in people doing nothing else to sway (and who do not have PCOS) we cannot know how much they sway. Like I said on paper both of them "should" sway and that is why I continue to recommend them. But I cannot tell peopel how much or which is better, that is just info that I do not and probably will never have.

If you absolutely MUST take something for pH ladies instead of cranberry use aspirin. BUT that having been said I am not even recommending that any more because it did not get any better results than the overall stats of the site (and unlike V and SP, aspirin does not cut odds of conception, everyone was taking it, and I believe this to be a "real" statistical finding - it doesn't sway), and because the risks are much greater than we originally thought.

Again, please ask these type of questions in the forums because I cannot check these threads often enough to answer all the q's in them. If I hadn't stumbled onto this thread this morning that would have been like 4 different things that peopel were having confusion about that I could have answered.

Sorry poptart, I didn't have it phrased properly. I thought it was OLE and LR or Cran and LR (forgetting entirely about peppermint tea just cause I hate teas in general lol) In my rush to answer before DS2 tore the head of hair off DS1 I didn't word it right! I take chitosan fibre and folic 1200-1600mcg. I wanted to keep my sway as straight forward as possible and here I am contemplating ways to complicate it! :nyd:

Soo if DH takes his OLE and LR am I still ok drinking peppermint tea? [emoji85] he would never drink that!

I think peppermint tea is for the men to drink, not us. Atomic suggested my DH drink it (in addition to cranberry) since he can't do LR. He's been drinking it daily for nearly 3 months now and he swears it's raised his estrogen. He's much more emotional with it. He says he feels like a damn lady. :giggle:

Hahaha brilliant ksmom!

I have gone majorly over on protein today! Damn you nando's [emoji35] everything else is within range! But ive had 91g protein [emoji15][emoji15][emoji15]
Crazy how it stacks up so quickly eating meat! Only had a butterfly chicken breast with rice and garlic bread!

Ah I'm jealous! That was one of the hardest things for me with my swaying! I'm not good with protein at ALL.. So I did a very loose HE diet.. Basically just watched my calories but the calories I did eat were HE calories. Tried to avoid fruits though. Mostly fatty foods. And meats when I could!

I'm 8 dpo and these last few days kill me!! Af is due on Saturday so I hope I know before then. I don't want to be sad on Halloween.
