[QUOTE=atomic sagebrush;979020]DO NOT just take Pregnitude without a valid reason!!!! Do you have PCOS?
Hi atomic, I am actually just taking myo insolitol as couldn’t get hold of Pregnitude. I took myo last time I was ttc - as well as loads of other interventions like acupuncture/preseed etc. It definitely seems to help regulate my cycle - just like vitex did before ds1.
I think with my irregular cycles etc I might have PCOS tendencies. And I am on cycle 5 with a short luteal so I feel I have nothing to lose. Plus it seems to sway pink.
Well, actually you DO have something to lose if you're taking it without needing to since it's caused a lot of trouble for people when they took it without needing to.
How much weight do you have to spare? CAn you give me a brief writeup of the timeline in which your LP got short? Has it been short all the time or only since dieting (and I"m sure you've written this up in this thread already but it would save me a lot of time if you did it again)
There are two reasons why your cycle gets wonky. One of them is PCOS tendencies. But the opposite is from having too low hormone levels and this happens to people on LE Diet. Myoinositol lowers hormone levels which is great for PCOS, but for those who are having too low hormone levels, it's throwing gasoline on a fire. and it's totally possible to go from having PCOS tendencies with too high hormone levels, to the opposite problem. So we need to be sure about what is really going on here before just starting that up.
Omg I’m so nauseous almost gonna throw up! Im also very tired,can sleep everywhere a very deep nap. I thought the side effect from clomid are only in the 5days you take them. I’m 2dpo i hope those are conception symptoms!
I had short luteal phase when I was last trying to conceive (the few cycles after my failed cycle at Genesis). It got longer by one day every month until I conceived. This time it has been post partum and my first luteal phase was 6 days, my second luteal was 7days, my third was 9 days and my last one was 8 days. I have also had late ovulation (days 24 and 23 respectively) apart from my first round on Femara where I ovulated day 17. I don’t think it is caused by the diet because I have been on the diet since November when I was still breastfeeding a couple of times a day. I didn’t get my first period until January.
I think I have PCOS tendencies as I have got pregnant once on vitex and once on myo inositol and they do seem to regulate my cycles (vitex especially). I definitely have lazy ovaries which is why I’ve upped my Femara to 7.5mg.
If I am not pregnant this cycle I am restarting vitex.
Thanks atomic for any advice you have xx
No, you can have side effects from Clomid at other points of high hormones in the cycle you have taken it. You can't be getting pregnancy symptoms until more like 7 DPO or even later so this is a Clomid thing and not conception-related (although you can of course be pregnant, just that is not what is causing the symptoms.)
Diet affects you more the longer you have been on it.
Please don't restart vitex. It's gotten terrible results. if you must take the myoinositol, your call to make, but please just do that and not the vitex.
