Atomic and Rainbow, thank you for your responses. That makes me feel a little bit better.
I stopped the vitex and SP just in case. I'm still taking my other supplements (MVI, calcium + D 600mg/200, benadryl or zyrtec, metformin 500mg, cyclobenzaprine as needed, and ritalin as needed).
I also examined the cervix again today and it is definitely no longer accepting sperm donations as it is high and hard. I really don't like touching my cervix, just fyi. ;)
If I did not happen to conceive, I'm going to buy all of the things I said I would buy for next cycle. I definitely want to feel as prepared as possible.

Started Vitex yesterday. Hope it helps bring on O. CD 46 for me today. Last night my opk turned super dark but it was after the ten minute window (it was def neg before ten minutes but I checked it again sometime between 10 minutes and an hour later). So hoping it's a good sign but I've had that happen before so not getting my hopes up too high. Like Swish, I think I dropped too much weight and wasn't getting enough calories and I think that's what caused my O to be so delayed. So I've switched from fat free milk/yogurt to reduced fat to get more fat and calories. And I treat myself to some ice cream. Don't really want to gain any weight cause I know that's not good for the sway, but I am way lower than my lowest adult weight so hope that's enough (I am 5'6 and my lowest adult weight is 130...I started my sway at 135 and am now down to 120). I am planning a baby shower this month and my ODS is starting preschool so hoping that by keeping my mind off my lack of O and the sway in general that I will lower any sway related stress and hopefully that will help bring on O too.

Chicky, I'm so sorry this is happening to you, it's rubbish. If you really think the weight loss has caused no ov you must eat to gain a couple of pounds back. After all no ov means no baby regardless of swaying!! In the end my period came I'm pretty sure I didn't ov at all as I kept a close eye on cp and know it was firmly closed, low and hard. Gl, I hope af shows soon!

still waiting for AF here! 7dpo today and another temp below coverline this morning, so expecting the witch any time now. At least 7dpo is an improvement on 4dpo last cycle... and I'll be starting my vitex this week! :D
-
That's good news that it's lengthened, rainbow!
-
it's a step in the right direction :)
I upped vit B6 from 30mg to 50mg this month... do you think I should stick at 50 and just add the vitex or add the vitex and also up the B6?

Ok, so I just checked at cervix is SHOW with TONS of EWCM and cramping. I just tested with two difference ICs and got clear negatives, but I'm worried that with all these other strong signs O might be imminent and I might miss my egg if we don't dtd tonight. I have two digis left from last cycle, but I really don't want to buy more since they're $50 a box here in Canada. I was going to wait to use them until the ICs showed an almost +, but I just don't know how much I can trust my 'normal' timeline since I've just started taking a full dose of SW this week after taking only a half dose for a couple of months. I'm only on CD10 and have never ovulated earlier than CD13. Do you think I'm safe to save my digi until tomorrow and trust in the IC? I'll test again with an IC this evening, but I usually get a fade-in, and both tests barely had any line at all. We weren't planning to dtd tonight since we need to start on a compressed frequent BD run before we can make our attempt.

I don't know mocha - but since taking Saw P I ovulated twice much earlier than ever before (cd13 then this month cd11). Do you ever get a burst of EWCM a few days before you O? I often get that 3 or 4 days in advance - but my cervix wouldn't usually be SHOW at that point. I think if I were you I'd use a digital because you'll be so sick if you somehow miss O this month!
-
Mocha I would trust that IC if your urine was concentrated enough.
Or if you want to be sure to not miss the egg, have him release once, then DTD this evening and continue frequent?
I had EWCM and a soft, open cervix on Cd8 but I haven´t ovulated yet, IC didn´t turn compl. positive.
I think it was a spike of estrogen but not enough to ovulate.
It is interesting that you seem to O early, because we were O buddies last cycle, remember? and unlike previous cycles in which I o-ed on CD 20, 17 and 16, now it looks like I´m going to O early too, today Cd11 and a lot of EWCM.
Maybe we´re both following the moon in some way?
Or perhaps after 3-4 months on the diet, after a first ´shock´ our bodies recover in some way and make up estrogen more easily??
