Taking a break

[honeybee37]

Just coming on here to say I am taking a break from swaying... My LP has got even shorter this month (4 days), having been 12 at the start of my sway. I don't know what to do because I can't get femara and my dH is really annoyed at what I've 'done to myself', so I think we are taking a break from swaying and from ttc in general... I really hope to be back here one day and I want to thank everyone who's given me advice and support on this journey over the past 7 months! Thank you!

Hugs hun! I've taken several breaks, so I totally understand. Had some crazy long cycles and crazy short LPs too.

Thanks maiden. Just had one last thought about my crazy LP. Over the winter (when my LP was normal), I was taking a high dose of vitamin c. I stopped pretty suddenly when I started the sway as I discovered it's not good for ttc girl... Could the vitamin c have been keeping my progesterone levels in check or am I grasping at straws?!

I"m so sorry, I wish I could be more help.

We don't know how most of this works anyway, I do sometimes have people add in 500 mg Vit. C daily so go ahead and give it a try (no more than that tho) and then if it helps please let me know!!

Atomic (and maiden), you are SO much help! I just feel like I can't handle the monthly disappointment when my period comes earlier and earlier (5dpo this month); I need to get that sorted before I can properly ttc or I will actually crack up! I'm going to add in vit c, swap cardio to daily walking for an hour and eat 3x a day instead of twice and see what happens (without attempting) this month. I will update you in around a month's time xx

VitC can't hurt, I don't think it sways blue.

I just wanted to wish you well honeybee. You have given me some advice and support on here over the past months and I'm sad you've decided to have a break, although completely understand of course hun. I hope your cycles sort themselves out a bit and you find a way through this, especially after all the effort and hard work you've put in.

My luteal phase is also a mess (although always has been!!) I'm sure I will be in your shoes when we TTC next month. I hope we can both overcome this and manage to achieve the bfp (pink!) we both want!

Sending big hugs xxx

Vit C is more of a theoretical concern and NOT because I"ve seen scads of people getting boys on it (altho I did LOL) Now Vit D and B6, THOSE I have seen people getting boys on, but C is a theoretical one.

Well I took a load of vit c last month..: like 600-800mg a day. I don't know if it's a coincidence but I did manage to get pregnant... But unfortunately had a chemical at around 4w. So instead of a 4-5 day LP, it ended up being 14. So I don't know if this counts as a lengthened LP or a pregnancy that couldn't be supported because of low prog..:
