Going cold turkey is bad for your health. Just gradually space doses further and further apart till you're down to one every week and then you can drop it. (should take about 3 weeks)Quote:

THey're wrong. I used to be on that other site and I know what they say, and I also know the people who ended up in the hospital from taking that much magnesium, the zinc is sold that high for people to take FOR A FEW DAYS when they feel a cold coming on, and there are studies that show taking calcium in that high a dose can contribute to heart disease.Quote:

If you're having long cycles like that then Clomid is medically indicated. I know it's tough in the UK to get a second opinion but many, many ladies have been given Clomid in the UK with exactly the issues that you are having.Quote:

You can't get EWCM from taking Vitamin E unless your body is ALSO trying to ovulate. No estrogen, no EWCM. Vitamin E on its own does not make EWCM.Quote:

We need the doctor's help to test to be sure where you are in your cycle and then a prescription strength medication from a chemist/pharmacy - the OTC stuff is meant for women in menopause and doesn't have the strength to trick your body into shedding the uterine lining.
We can but unfortunately we need a doctor's help. :(Quote:

Well, after several months she got pregnant with twin girls!! It can still happen for you.
I agree that her doctor definitely needs to do more testing if this continues to be an issue and that the OTC stuff is for women in menopause. However, I have been in her shoes. Back then I saw 3 gyns and neither would do anything for me but recommend BCPs.I was TTC so obviously that was not what was going to help me. My cycles were completely annovulatory. I waited about 6+ months each time, over a year the first time, praying each time that it would be the cycle that would be the one I would ovulate and get pregnant, but I nevet did until I moved to another state and got my current OB who got involved and did what was necessary. I dont want to cause issues here, I really don't, but the BIP can induce AF... not at recommended doses because you are correct in saying they are made for hormonal therapy but they do work at higher doses. Not unsafely high, just higher than recommended. I also agree that if she is about to ovulate taking the BIP would mess that up, which is why I feel her doctor should be more involved but unfortunately many doctors feel that because they went to med school that they know everything and we know nothing. I personally know the frustration and stress that comes with cycles that go on and on and I worry this stress will keep her from ovulating at all thus my recommendation of a fresh start and pushing for more testing if it continues. Again, not trying to stir the pot... that's the last thing I want. Just trying to use my experience and knowledge to help someone, just as you do. I truely hope it is an issue of miscommunication with her doc and her doc will Rx the prometrium, as this is really the best possible outcome because of all the reasons I mentioned before.Then she can use the SI for TTC next cycle since her doc won't Rx Clomid. But if not I don't want her to feel the helplessness that I felt for so long. HopeI am not stepping on toes. Just trying to help.Quote:

I had such a busy day today I did not get chance to call my doc will try tomorrow!
I really want to thank you both for taking the time to reply to me I really appreciate it, I really like having more knowledge for when I do speak to the doc maybe not so much about swaying but more on cycles af etc, this is because I dint full trust that they reall know what they are talking about... Take me back to 1st time I fell pregnant.....
My periods stopped July/August was sent for test, again then they found nothing wrong, pregnancy tests were negative, sent me for more tests, found I was making milk hormones, said I was a very strange girl, ran another pg test it was also negative.
then I was sent to ob who tried squeezing my breast to see if any milk came out which it didn't, was told by him that it is very unlikely that I would get pg, fast forward 2-3 weeks after that appointment I felt a strange feeling like something was trying to kick its way out of me did a pg test good a really strong + within a min, was so shocked, the ob phone me back told him and he seemed very shocked and wished me luck,
went back to my gp ( not knowing how far along I was, didn't know when you was ment to start feel you baby moving kicking) there they felt my stomach said I felt about 16 week and sent me to see a midwife.
I thought this part was a right whirl wind but little did I know there was more to come, next day mid wife said she would be with me the day after that for booking in, got to hear my babies heart beat for the 1st time (amazing) booked me in for a scan the following week.
At the scan they informed me that I wasn't actually 16 week that I fact I was 26 weeks plus and that I was having a son and luck early he was perfect in every way. My son was born 11 weeks later at 37 weeks, August 2004, so only had about 12 weeks to enjoy my pregnancy in totally.
Uh... with that kind of history ignore everything I said. Seriously! Too much risk involved if you could be preg and not know it! This is above my "pay grade" and without a blood test and prob an u/s I wouldn't move forward to inducing AF. (((Hugs))) I know it is frustrating but with your history assume you are preg until proven otherwise.Quote:
