Good luck for this month LadyScarlett - I think time when you can't get to your computer is usually a good thing!

The deed is done My poor DH may need to sleep for a few days now!

Hi all,
I got my blood results from the docs today. It ws actually really interesting. My testosterone levels were just a bit below average so that's good news and I feel better about not using sp. My oestrogen levels were also average. I was however low on lh and fsh levels, don't know what that means and neither did doc but said it wasn't a worry!!! Anyone know?

Just googled and found vitex inhibits fsh levels, can't believe it's still affecting by cycles, aaghh!!!!

[rainbowflower]

swish when did you stop it?

[zanacal]

Don't panic swish, it may not be the Vitex at all - so many women take it for irregular cycles or because they can't get pregnant and it helps them. Perhaps it's just to do with your diet lowering your fertility?

Hi everyone!

Sorry I have not been on the thread! I have been trying to keep my mind off swaying a little bit as I think it was getting the best me...

I just finished my last night of clomid... boy.. that stuff gave me the worst night hot flashes! I am trying to stay hopeful at this point that it helps.

I am also trying to maintain my weight by upping my calories a bit. Besides my food poisioning incident on monday night (minor set back! lol) I am doing ok with it....

I hope you all are doing well!!! I am so thinking about you zanacal!!!!

I took it for 3 weeks every day at the beginning of may (my first cycle) and every other day for my second cycle with the last one taken about 5 aug. I'm trying not to strss, z, but do feel this could be my problem. I can't help but keep thinking hoe my periods stopped for 5/6 months each of the 2 times I stopped the contraceptive pill so I must be more prone to hormone changes. Atomic said this is not related to how vitex affected me but I don't know??? It did really lengthen my cycles that first month.

[zanacal]

Yes you did get that really weird long cycle too didn't you? {hugs}

I just posted this on the 2WW thread but I always get 2 days of +OPKs. My first was yesterday and we DTD this morning because I wanted our attempt to be on O day but I just took my second OPK and it was negative! So now I have no idea whether we BD'd a few hours before O, right on top of O or a few hours afterwards. I feel like I have such a small chance of being pregnant!
