Hoping to join in the next day or two! Best of luck Magical x
Thanks Magical! Good luck!
I will need to come back and confirm once when the IUI is planned for. Ttyl
Thankyou Magical [emoji4]
I am on CD8 and hoping for another early O like last month, last month was CD15 and previous cycles were 30,30,34! So I guess the Vitex is starting to work [emoji6] my AF has lasted a lot longer this cycle too is this normal for Vitex to extend length of AF?
Waiting on some IC OPKs to arrive hopefully today or tomorrow.
Good luck ladies!

Vitex made my cycle longer by a week.

I should be getting AF by Nov. 9. I'm confused since my last cycle came 5 days early. I got a positive opk last Friday with cramping and ewcm and then again more cramping and ewcm on Monday. We dtd on Friday. I am going on to see how I feel the next week and see if u can hold out to test. TTC girl and I don't temp. I dropped vitex this month so hoping that helps.

Good luck dpike! How many cycles have you used the Vitex for?

Well, I decided to give it one last go and attempt this month (without DH knowing). I threw caution to the wind and based on the Research setting on FF, I am 3dpo which means that I had 4 attempts in my fertile window. I know that's a huge no-no for swaying girl, but I am currently more concerned about getting a healthy, sticky bean. So, I will test for the first time at 10dpo which is Nov 4th. I might hold out and test on the 6th though, just because I hate getting bfn. :( My chart is looking amazing! It looks just like my July chart where I got a BFP! I just hope this bean sticks. :fx: I also have been eating pineapple with the core to help with implantation. Has anyone else heard of that? I did it during my July cycle and I got a BFP that cycle, so I'm doing it again. :) Good luck ladies! I am glad to be back here and wish everyone a BFP! :bluecheer::cheer::bluecheer::cheer:
Fingers crossed momamia! I have heard of the pineapple core but haven't done so myself [emoji4]

Momamia so happy to see you here!!! Will be keeping an eye out for your testing time! Wishing you a sticky, healthy bean!
Thanks, Pbn3! :) I hope you get one too! ;)

Hi there :wave:! I would be due for AF by nov. 4th. Not sure yet when I'll test. Good luck and baby dust to all!
I used vitex 2 cycles and dropped it this cycle in case it is acting as birth control for me. This is my 3rd cycle on saw palmetto.Quote:

Momamia. I've had pineapple core work for me twice and it didn't work once but I've had fertility issues in the past. Also I had three attempts in the fertile window and had my second girl. I was living a LE lifestyle at the time.
Does anyone know about ruptured cysts? I read a cyst produces progesterone which can make temps higher but will a ruptured cyst do that too? There wasn't a lot of fluid left so they thought it ruptured awhile ago.
Also does anyone get ovary pain right before af? I seem to every month and it's starting again.
Quinn, as far as I understand, a ruptured cyst shouldn't produce the amount of progesterone needed to delay AF. It's when the cyst stays that it produces the progesterone. I hope that helps. :)
Hi girls! I'm still waiting to o. I really really hoped I would o earlier than last cycle but here I am on cd18 and no +opk. I had all the signs last week and really thought I would o then but no. Maybe my body was just trying to o but couldnt? Yesterday and today I've had a little bit of cm and opk is getting little stronger (again!) so fingers crossed I will o soon. This waiting sucks. I think I feel so frustrated as I'm scared my cycle is messed up, not because I o later. It's just as I have no idea when I will o and what if I don't o. And if I o what if my LP is as short as last cycle. Sigh...
Good luck everyone and hopefully we will have many BFPs in Nov!!! :)
I'm and sadly joining this group officially. I had a massive temp drop and a bfn at 10dpo. Af always starts on 12dpo so it would have been positive if I was. I didn't think I would be so sad but I am. Especially because each cycle makes me think that there's something wrong with me.
2xblue could you see a dr about clomid?

Hello everyone!
I am waiting for my AF to come on the 31rst of October (yes this is a BIG witch!!)
TTC for 2 cycles under Clomid and HCG injection to provoke ovulation (+ LE diet, OLE and LR for DH, 1 attempt)
I am currently 11 dpo and had a false BFP 10 dpo (still trigger shot 12 days after injection!!) Today BFN with 2 tests so I guess this is not our month... :(
I had terrible clomid and HCG side effects these 2 months.
I'm done with Clomid and will try without this month.
So I have to do Ovulation tests and perhaps à temp chart to see if I ovulate?
Wish you so much luck you all!!! :D
Xxx
Ho Quinn I'm so sad it didńt work for you this month :( I'm exactly in the same state of mind... When I had my BFP yesterday I was truly hop it was it and then this morning DH and me felt so heartbroken... How many cycles have you been TTC?Quote:

Hi Everyone,
Guess I am joining the November group, we are starting into our 8th month of trying. Currently CD 4 and I should ovulate around CD14-16. Finally made an appointment to see a R/E 1 week from today to see if there are any issues preventing us from TTC. Fingers crossed its just because I am older and it will just take more time.
Hope this is the cycle for all of us!
I am officially joining this thread and delighted about it :giggle: AF arrived this avo after a 36 day possible anovulatory cycle. If I have a semi regular cycle this month it would average at 32 days so won't be due to test til the end of November. Hoping to see a LOT of bfps between now and then girls xx
Decided to join this board even though I tend to have irregular anovulatory cycles and I just had a MC. Not sure when/if I'll ovulate but I'm HOPING it will happen soon and that I'll get a BFP in November. I'm on CD10 right now. Last cycle I got lucky and finally ovulated on CD20 after 2.5 months of it not happening so we'll see.
Tfahn are you doing one attempt a month?
Hopper I'm glad you have an answer finally. What a horrible wait but hopefully this is it for you.
Ksmom wow I hope it goes quick again this month. You must have a lot of patience! Fx for a quick cycle again.
I'm just waiting for af to start and I'm so sad about it. Dh is 44 and only wants to try for two more months. That immediately puts so much stress on me and makes me want to cry. I have no idea why it's taking so long for us when we've been pregnant fast twice before but it's getting hard to take. I always go through a depression when af starts but knowing I have to beat the clock is making it more difficult.

I hope you get pregnant really soon Quinn.:fingers: Sorry you're in such a time crunch.
I saw this today and it made me laugh for a really long time. Sorry if it offends anyone but this is definitely my DH. LMAO! Attachment 28057
LOL I can definitely identify with that! :rofl: I've had such a low libido these past few months...poor DH!
Quinn31
We are doing every other day and then multiple attempts at + OPK.
I am also hoping 3 is the charm [emoji4] 21 wks on diet and no red meat is becoming very old lol
Sorry for the false pos milybaby
Woohoo hopper weird to say it but YAY for AF arriving [emoji23]

Quinn, I'm so sorry. It's really hard to see a bfn, especially if you've been ttc for awhile. Hugs.Quote:

Hopper, yay for af!! :)
Tfahn I see your swaying boy too! I couldn't see that on my phone. I've been did 0-3, 0-2, 0-1, and 0 day the past couple months to no avail. I really don't know what else to do...
My dr prescribed clomid to me after 4 cycles because I had difficulty conceiving my second (we never found out what the problem was because all of our testing came back normal) and I'm almost 34 and my husband is 44. We are in a bit of a time crunch I guess you could say. I don't know if it helps with a short lp. How long is yours? Mine is only 11 days and I feel like that isn't enough.
Thanks for the congrats ladies lol, weird to write that but happy too!
Quinn I am sorry you are in such a time crunch, I can kind of empathise a little as we are trying this month and then waiting til next year possibly February before trying again so feel my all my hard work on LE will be gone to waste. Facing facts there's no way I can continue on LE for much longer, it's been 26 weeks tomorrow!! And it can't be good for my overall healthiest on this diet much longer.
Spoke to my GP today. He went through my progesterone blood results with me and says it "could be anyone's guess" whether I am Oing or not. My blood work was 26.6 which he said is borderline, they like them to be at least 30 for day 21. He has me in to see a female doctor next Thursday on CD8 which is useless for this cycle. It made me feel a little hopeless.
DH wants to try every three days this cycle. It's our third cycle but like I said taking a break after this cycle. I don't know what to do, opinions hugely appreciated. Should I maybe ask Atomics advice?
Hopper I don't know about girl sways but my last dd was many attempts at O time. I was living a mostly LE life though so I'm not sure which is more important. Atomic can probably help better than I can.

Hopper, I'd definitely ask Atomic what to do. She usually suggests other things to help with ovulation and increase chances of pregnancy before giving the okay for more attempts. I really believe the advice she gave me several weeks ago is what helped my body to start ovulating again.

Hello all :) I'm trying to catch up on everything after having a short break (only 4 days I think but things happen so fast here!).
I had my specialist appointment today and the Dr gave me the option of trying metformin or clomid. I asked if it was too late this cycle (cd6) and he said 1 day wouldn't make much difference with my cycles and they could start if I needed to. I decided to go with trying the metfomin to see if it helps shorten my cycles but I am going to take the my clomid I got from a friend (I obviously didn't tell him about that part). He also said that metformin can help with women with PCOS who have had miscarriages so wants me to keep taking it for the first trimester when I get pregnant.
I'm happy to wait until January to consider a fully monitored clomid cycle partly because it is expensive doing the monitoring and also I don't want to go to all that effort to conceive a September baby, if it happens naturally that is fine but I would rather another month (both boys are born in September).
He is pretty sure I have PCOS as I have several of the main indicators like irregular cycles, polycystic ovaries and acne. He wasn't too concerned about the mid-cycles bleeding/spotting as he said it was just hormonal.
So now I am taking the clomid I hope to ovulate around day 19. I have taken clomid twice before and ovulation was day 18/19 each time. I also got pregnant each time, first time was DS1 and second time was a blighted ovum.
If I ovulate when expected I will be testing around November 25 :D
Here is my chart overlay for my current cycle (pink/purple line) and my BFP cycle in July/August (green line). I have to admit that I am super excited to see how well they are lining up. It's actually kind of freaking me out! I didn't know they could/would do that?! Has anyone else had that happen before? I guess I kind of thought they might be similar, but it never occurred to me how similar.
Attachment 28082
My pregnancy charts don't have similar temps but I have noticed they tend to follow the same pattern of being triphasic with a dip in temp around the time of implantation.
Your chart is looking good Momamia!
I will be hopefully joining this group as I am on cd13 today. We have been ttc for over a year and finally tried clomid last month, which the 50mg did not work. I took 100mg on cd4-8 this month and fx that it will work. I am beginning to get really down and discouraged and don't want to be bummed out over the holidays. I can't help but worry that I am too old (I just turned 37) and my body is failing me.
