Trying to conceive boy since 2 cycles with PCOS

Hi Atomic even last month was not mine as I got my periods 4 days delayed. I just wanted to check - can Fish oil cause delayed ovulation? Last month I was totally busy so not sure if it was the fish oil or stress that caused delay in ovultaion.
Thanks in advance for your inputs.

It shouldn't - please give me a recap of everything you're taking.

stress can absolutely delay O by 4 days or so but I just wnat to be sure we're not taking anything that may be working against us.

I am taking fish oil 1000mg alternative days, probiotic everyday, elevit prenatal everyday.

None of those things should delay ovulation, so I think we should operate under the assumption that this was just from stress and roll on to next month! FXFXFX!!

Thanks for the reply atomic. I have ran out of ovulation CB test strips. As I can't just buy test strips have to buy the kit again. Which one of the below two do you suggest? I was using advanced digital before.

If price is no object the Advanced is handy becuase it gives you the warning, but either will work.

Hi Atomic,

I got a solid smiley on Saturday. But we BD'ed on Friday and as I got positive on Saturday we have BD'ed straight 5 days since Friday now. I stayed in bed after BD and went to sleep all days. After solid smiley I raised my leg at least for an hr with a pillow under.
But I wanted to know is it normal for a bit of semen to come out after sex? I also saw some when I woke up next morning.

I am hoping this is my month!

Also can I stop taking fish oil tablets until either I get a BFP or move on to next month? I will continue with the pre natal and probiotic.

Perfect!

Yes it's totally normal for some semen to come out after sex. That mostly contains dead and dying sperm and is your body's way of getting rid of the icky stuff.

Is there a particular reason why you want to stop the fish oil? I don't really like people going off and on and off supplements, fish oil in particular. So what I'd have you do instead is drop to every other day or even every 2 days for now. If you get BFP then please continue weaning off gradually. If you don't, resume it daily.

Thanks for the reply Atomic. Sure will continue taking Fish oil once every 2 days then.
