    Have you been able to conceive while BFing before? Bc that could be an issue, some women can't conceive while nursing any amount though it's pretty rare if you're having regular cycles.

    My Ovulation Chart
    currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP

    TTC #1 - swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!

    Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
    Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after remověng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic

    Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
    My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
    Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

    It is recommended for older people with diabetes. It is a blood thinner and young women already have thinnish blood anyway. you can literally BLEED TO DEATH from a bleeding ulcer in your stomach or a stroke (the kind caused by bleeding in your brain) if you take too many blood thinners and booze and cinnamon are both strong blood thinners. Additionally, being anemic makes your blood even thinner.

    This can change over time though. i know you know Classic Movie Queen from IG and trying to conceive her 6th she literally could not get pregnant nursing even though she had before.

    Sometimes our bodies know sh-- and they err on the side of not conceiving if they feel like the time is not right.

    Based on my experience with hundreds, if not thousands of swayers by this point, I believe it to be a huge step in the wrong direction ever to be TTC for a year on these herbs and not getting pregnant, then stay on them because it moves your O day three days. WHO CARES???? 3 days different O Day isn't gaining you anything. It isn't getting you pregnant. We have seen tons of ladies not be able to get pregnant on them. Period, end of story. This observation began back on IG if you may recall with people getting BFN's for 8-12 months and then dropping vitex and getting pregnant the next month. you can believe me or not, I'm not trying to argue into doing it my way (because as you know if I had my way, girl, we wouldn't even be having this conversation)

    It is not my job to sit around and look up studies for people. I am not your guyses secretary and I do not like having to go to the mat to defend every observation I make over the years as being somehow inferior to some douche with 3 test subjects, published in the "Journals of Timbuktu Medicine Doctors". I have just spent 45 minutes on this thread when I answered all these questions in the first place. It is one thing when it's someone who has just showed up and doesn't know anything at all about any of this, but at some point it would be great if people who have been around a long time could at least give me the benefit of the doubt that I'm not talking out my butt here.

    I can assure ya, that my considerable experience with women using peppermint tea, outweighs any study on it (which they wouldn't bother to do anyway because no one cares about swaying but us, and secondly would be totally misleading because women with PCOS would be the ones who could actually benefit from pep tea and it might work wonders for them but PCOS is the minority and not the majority) Trust me or don't trust me, I AM the expert so asking me to back up my experience doing this with some bullshit study is kind of insulting really.

    I have a swayer right this minute who insisted on using peppermint tea "forgot" to mention it for the last 6 months, and has now rendered herself basically infertile. She's having anovulatory cycles and we tried Clomid but she couldn't even ovulate on that. This is not a fluke, it's the same thing that I have seen again and again and again dating back to my time on IG. And if the herbs actually WORKED then maybe it would be worth it, but THEY DON'T. Just to use vitex as an example here - 57% of people taking vitex got girls. 66% of people who didn't take vitex got girls. not working. Not worth the trouble they cause.

    You definitely know your stuff or I wouldn't have come back crawling at your feet for your swaying wisdom. I thought maybe you or someone else might have seen something on the effects of peppermint. Obviously I'm waiting to try and stay as close to what "worked" for me before. As I am older, fatter, and have had some struggles there's probably stuff I will or should change and I'm trying to sort though all this and figure out what those things need to be... im not in a huge hurry to become pregnant. We weren't REALLY trying until the last few months because I had a lot of stuff I needed to get figured out with my body first. I have dropped the cinnamon and im only doing peppermint tea 1 a day now.

    I would take advice atomic gave you, you have a pretty good chance at a girl again, you do have 2 already, and that much cinnamon doesn't seem necessary
