As a general rule, yes, but as a practical rule, keep your eyes peeled in case this month is kooky. For some reason our bodies love to throw the curve balls when we are swaying. :)

Yes, I am usually super regular (can feel O pains) but last month I tested and I ovulated like 3-4 days after I thought I would. So I am guessing that is why I started later this month. I started my vitex supplement (400mg) this month, so I hope everything isn't totally wacky this month…but it is what it is. I am just planning on testing twice a day starting at day 13 and then when my test turns positive I will BD.
I hope this is a good sign, getting my body off its regular schedule. The diet is killing me, I want to snack so BADLY!! So fingers crossed I get a positive with the next 3 months.
What should my blood glucose level be at? I just had my numbers taken yesterday for my Health Screening, also my BMI was at 19.2? Good or bad?
I wouldn't worry about your blood glucose provided it's in normal range. Your BMI is fine!
I would add in a meal if you're really suffering that bad. There's a huge diff. between snacking all day every 15 minutes and eating 3 or 4 meals a day.Quote:

Don't worry about the numbers on the blood glucose tests, those fluctuate all over the place and while we use the expression "low blood sugar" what we are really trying to say is not a number on a test, but just that your body has to burn off its stores to keep functioning (you're not getting quick energy from food for at least a good chunk out of the day) THe human body doesn't "like" having low blood sugar and it immediately takes steps to raise it by burning off stores, and I believe it's that process that sways, and not the literal numerical amount of blood sugar in your blood******.Quote:

Does Vitex mess with your sex drive?…I feel like since I have started I have like NONE!!
It definitely could. I have a low libido due to pain meds I'm on, so I couldn't tell one way or the other. But considering how it modulates sex hormones it makes complete sense that V would lower libido.
