How can I make my body O earlier?

Atomic--I think I am going to wait until jan to try clomid. Dec will be our first attempt. I had a major cheat on the diet around thanksgiving but have been very strict since. Dec will be our first try with lots of antihistamines, jellies, and just one attempt at +OPK, so I doubt we will get pg. If we don't i will try in January with the clomid and pray I don't get twins!

My DH has no idea why I am so excited about this but I know you ladies will understand. I am so frustrated about my long cycles because I have to wait forever to O and it gives me fewer chances in a year and it's soooo much longer to be on the diet.

So I started Vitex over the summer and took it for 9 weeks straight (my cycles are very long so 6 weeks was one cycle straight through and then it was 3 weeks from AF-O of the second cycle. So I have been on vitex from Af-O for about 5 months now. It really didn't effect my cycles at all. Then last cycle I started doing SP as well, just AF-O, one in the am and one before bed (320 the standard dose but each pill is 160)

Last cycle I still didn't O until CD 22 (which is better than 28 like it can be!) But this cycle I think it has helped! I always start doing OPK's around CD 10-12, even though I don't O until at least CD 19, but because I am such a POAS addict and I like to see the fade in pattern, LOL. yesterday was CD 10 and I did an OPK and it was ALMOST POSITIVE! I tried not to get my hopes up today but I did another one today (CD 11) at noon and it is another almost positive, a little darker than yesterday! I will continue to test, and I am really hoping that I will O in the next few days!!!!

THANK YOU ZANA and ATOMIC FOR RECOMMENDING SP AND VITEX TOGETHER!!!

Now my doc has offered clomid, but I can't take vitex and clomid together, so I don't know what to do if I don't get pg this month. Next month should I try clomid or stick with my SP and vitex?

Yay, I really hope this has done the trick! The month I took Vitex and Saw P without a break was the month before I conceived and I too ovulated early that month (CD12). I also had a lot of EWCM during my luteal phase the month before conception and I somehow feel that this helped me to get pregnant - at the time I asked AS and she suggested that I might be building a good lining and it was obviously good enough

That is really good news! Thanks for updating, it's amazing to know that seems to be soemthing that will help people.

What I would do is just take the SP and vitex the month before, then switch the the Clomid for your attempt. SP and Vitex take a while to get going but your hormones take a while to go back up again. It's like the best of both worlds - you get the benefits of the SP and V and then the Clomid for your attempt.

grrr..... so much has happened since that last post! I got a AAAAALMOST positive on monday, CD 10, stronger on Tuesday CD 11. Well then all hell broke loose. The Christmas tree fell over, all the ornaments broke and water spilled all over the presents that were under the tree. I know that's not a big deal but once I finished re-wrapping the presents, sweeping up the glass and drying out the soggy carpet (and a big fight with DH about whether or not to put the tree back up as well as ruining our vacuum trying to get up all the pine needles) we get a phone call that DH father has prostate cancer, they are doing surgery this monday, and all our christmas travel plans need to be changed since he will be in the hospital. On top of that we got a letter in the mail and our landlord is kicking us out.

Needless to say, my stress level went through the roof. I have been watching a FADE OUT pattern on my OPK'S! No rise in BBT so I think the stress delayed O, I had this happen before when I was doing a wedding cake and it delayed O about a week, so that will be CD 18/19 and I usually O around CD 19-22 anyway so ugh. I *think* the SP and vitex would have worked if it wasn't for all that darned stress!

Oh no, I'm sorry for everything you have going on. {hugs}

**atomic sagebrush** · December 18th, 2011, 12:01 PM

That's actually ok though because delayed cycles will only help you sway pink!

I"m SO SORRY to hear about your FIL and hope that everything turns out ok.

How do delayed cycles sway?
