I thought I ovulated around the 12th...at the latest the 14th.

Still very much in limbo. Sigh. I actually just want AF to show up now!

katecupoftea · 01/03/2014 16:01

Wooooo big congrats! Fantastic news!

Hazel can't believe you're still in limbo. When did you ov this month?

Hazelbrowneyes · 01/03/2014 11:09

LittleMissSunshine33 · 01/03/2014 10:37

If anyone is still here I have a BFP!!!! Ahhhhhhh so scared, excited, happy OMG! FX for all on the March bus I will be there cheering you on! x

Hazelbrowneyes · 01/03/2014 10:24

So sorry Longo Sad

Still no AF for me. Frustrated as this pretty much puts me out the running for a March BFP.

Longo · 01/03/2014 10:20

Didnt have to test this morning, AF got me, gutted beyond belief as is DP but trying not to show it. Sad
Gonna stay off the buses next cycle, I think it gets my hopes up too much.
Good luck ladies x

Katecupoftea - I used preseed!! I'm now 12 weeks pg Smile I found I was sore too so the first month using it was great- so much more comfortable. I read reviews of oeople getting pg straight away with it and thought 'yeah right' then cycle 2 came for us which was December, due to both me and my DH being very poorly at different times throughout December, we dtd twice with preseed and got pg. I'm not saying it was down to preseed obviously, but it sure did help those little guys get tk where they needed to be. Good luck Grin

I may have been drunk when I wrote that soppy message

toots123 · 01/03/2014 06:53

Yes its been a pleasure! See you all on the march bus x

katecupoftea · 01/03/2014 01:27

Ladies, it's been lovely being on the bus with you and I look forward to sharing your journey on the March bus. See you on the flip slide xxx

I think late ovulation is classed as an iregulairty as well, and I feel vitex probably helps with that as on 1st cycle I ovulated a day earlier and expect maybe a bit more by next cycle as it's for lengthening LP as well.

LittleMissSunshine33 · 28/02/2014 19:13

Yes I do Kate preseed as it for conception doesn't harm the sperm and after a few days of DTD I like it! I am due on today all AF pains are here but no AF wicked witch is playing tricks on me!!!

toots123 · 28/02/2014 19:00

Havent used it kate but might try it for the same reasons. We dont dtd that much around ovulation so this might help!

katecupoftea · 28/02/2014 18:48

Wow, lube talk. What a party topic.

katecupoftea · 28/02/2014 18:48

Now I'm out of limbo land I'm officially looking forward to next month. Getting a thermometer as didn't realise they were so cheap but also might get that conception lubricant. Does anyone use it? I found all the dtd (particularly when I wasn't in the mood after a stressful day) left me quite sore, which is why we didn't end up dtd when we should have and missed the window. Hoping the lube will help and wondering if anyone has had any experiences?

Ah. See, my cycle is regular in length but I ovulate too late (cd18-20). Might do some more reading!

Forgot to say I got my vitex from amazon, they have lots of good offers.

mama31 · 28/02/2014 17:20

Hey ladies. I started vitex start of this cycle and I think it's working already. I'm on cd25 now and some of my cycles have been 23 days, mostly 23-25 days, my longest was my last one at 26 days. I don't feel af is imminent, maybe sun or Mon, but if it's Tues that means I'll get a 28 day cycle and that's never happened ever! So vitex is working. Also I'd be spotting from 8dpo usually right through until af arrives. I had some very very light spotting (brown cm more like) 5-8dpo and have had nothing since. I actually believe the vitex was regulating my hormones that why I had the early spotting but thjs is the first time I've had no spotting close to af and at 12dpo!

So vitex seems to work on short LP and spotting but only if the spotting is related to low progesterone which I believe I have. Vitex is no reccomended for people with regular cycles (ie 28 days) or if your low estrogen I think (read that online somewhere).

I'm finding it good, but going to GP on Monday as I'd prefer progesterone prescribed instead of self medicating with herbals.

I've read Holland and Barrett. Boots didn't have any. Not sure where else though!

Where do you get vitex from?

Original poster
KittyVonCatsington · 28/02/2014 16:59

I really appreciate that, Lady-you give me hope! So pleased for your darker line Grin

Can I ask, should I take B6 on its own or can I take it as part of a B Complex supplement?

OP posts:
missmrsmummy · 28/02/2014 16:59

Fab news lady fx it sticks!

ladydolly · 28/02/2014 16:51

I hope I'm a good example of being more fertile after a chemical... darker line on the HPT today so hoping it's sticking.

kitty I started taking B6 after my first cycle after having my coil out produced only a 7 day luteal phase, it may have just been because it was the first month but since then I've gone up to 14 days.

I also have found the lack of control really hard, I think that's why I'm so obsessed with my ovuview app, I know it doesn't 'do' anything but the charts make me feel like I have an element of control.

Good luck to all!
