Don't think my ov needs kick starting, it needs delaying Grin sounds like you should talk to someone first wish!

Agnus castus is a very strong herb. It is supposed to help with pms, restore hormonal imbalance and kickstart ovulation. I took it for a while and had brown bleeding which disappeared as soon as I stopped taking it. I would proceed with caution as it can affect hormonal balance. If possible seek advice from a qualified herbalist before self medicating with Agnus castus.

What does it do wish?

wishiwaspregnant · 29/04/2015 13:18

Does anyone else take agnus castus? My friend recommended it. Just trying to work out where to buy if from... Holland and Barratt no longer stock it...

Thanks Merry :) And thanks for looking it up!

DizzyMerry · 29/04/2015 12:19

I had a look yesterday and from what I read it wasn't an issue. I don't think you're doomed at all. I have started to take coenzyme q10 which is supposed to improve egg quality but I don't think you should stress yourself out with anything at the moment. Three months isn't that long, I know it may feel like an age but honestly you will get there. There's every chance you will get your bfp this cycle.

Welcome to the temping world wish. It's very insightful and satisfying when ov is confirmed.

nightandthelight · 29/04/2015 11:47

Can't find anything Merry :( just found a clinical trial that found that early ov isn't a problem! Seems they can't make up their minds. Perhaps I'm not doomed then Grin

wishiwaspregnant · 29/04/2015 11:40

Hey miissmartiin I'm CD9 too and also waiting for my thermometer to arrive in the post! Can't wait to start temping! I'm planning to do it at 6am as i wake up then for work most days! I will happily do the temping on my days off too at same time. Excited to see when I OV as it's not easy to tell. I do get the stretchy CM so that's a good indication. But that sometimes goes on for days... I'm determined this is going to be my month! Good luck everyone xxx

DizzyMerry · 29/04/2015 11:27

I'll do my best and call you miis. I would be outed within seconds if my own family come on here due to my name but DH family wouldn't have a clue so I'm safe!!!

DizzyMerry · 29/04/2015 11:25

Hopefully that's a good thing as they may think you have every chance? Have you looked into supplements which improve egg quality? I don't know if that will help just an idea. If the eggs aren't mature enough then maybe there's a way of improving them?

nightandthelight · 29/04/2015 11:16

No no one will listen to me Merry at only three months of trying and one month's data. Maybe I am worrying about nothing!

MiissMartiin · 29/04/2015 11:16

haha its okay i just got really paranoid someone might go on here from my work or dps family ..call me anything Grin

DizzyMerry · 29/04/2015 11:14

Sorry miis I can't get used to typing your new name.

DizzyMerry · 29/04/2015 11:14

That's some dedication missmartin! You've got all bases covered this way.

Night did you manage to speak to anyone else about early ov?

nightandthelight · 29/04/2015 10:53

Good plan miiss! Can't go wrong then :) am not getting excited as I don't think we will be successful this month due to early ov. At least it should mean that my cycle is at the shorter end of my normal range and it won't be long until I can move onto the next one where I will hopefully ov a bit later :)

MiissMartiin · 29/04/2015 10:45

oh night and dizzy exciting times for you two then the wait is so annoying isn't it!!! im only cd 9 but i started dtd everyday since cd 5 to make sure i cover everyday... until i can get a hang of temping and know when I'm actually ov'ing...

MiissMartiin · 29/04/2015 10:44

aww dizzy sounds like you need a nice relaxing bath and a massage.. its lovley that you are helping you sil out so much woke she's going through such a hard time Smile

DizzyMerry · 29/04/2015 10:32

Hope you're thermometer arrives on time missmartin.

Yay for first day of temping woolly. Can't wait to see more charts.

Night tell your DH you will be more than happy to swap with him and would be extremely grateful for the opportunity. Some people just don't know how good they've got it!

I'm in my tww 4dpo and I'm completely shattered but that's partly due to running around helping with nephews and niece as sil is away.

nightandthelight · 29/04/2015 10:30

I am 8dpo Miiss! I have offered to swap places with DH but he suddenly changed his mind about how awful it was Grin how many dpo are you?

MiissMartiin · 29/04/2015 10:25

complaining! ?!? i would flipping love that.. i will swap with him Grin he can go talk to my customers all day hehe.. luckily i only have a short shift for once today 12-6pm can't complain..
is there anyone on her in 2ww or is everyone in early cycle?

nightandthelight · 29/04/2015 10:03

DH is complaining about the away day he is on at a five star hotel with cocktail and pizza making. He is getting very sarcastic responses Grin

Woolly84 · 29/04/2015 09:43

Thanks for the temping advice all! I was awake at 5.30 so took it then.
Hope it arrives soon missmartin!

MiissMartiin · 29/04/2015 09:39
