Agnus castus?!!!

Yep can see a line there @myajane it'll prob get darker again tomorrow. Will you test again then?

@MrscJan2018 I use OPK’s to let me know I’ve ovulated alongside temping and checking CM.

Star, thanks @Nat4392! Sorry for posting this in two places, I was getting over excited lol!

Hi again @notyetamumbuttrying I’ve been taking mine from CD1 until I get a peak OPK x

Ahh sorry to hear about your miscarriage @MrscJan2018 I hope you get your rainbow baby soon

I took it when I didn't get my periods back for several months after stopping the pill. It may have been coincidence but they returned within 4 weeks of me starting it and I conceived the following cycle. I took pregnacare at the same time, although I think a different time of day as PP said. I think it's not recommended that you take it if you are pregnant so you should stop if you get a positive test. I may only have taken it during the first half of my cycle, I can't remember.

@Suki2020 hi, thank you so much for your response, if you don’t mind me asking how do you know when you’ve ovulated? I use CB advanced digital ovulation tests, would I just stop taking it after I get a positive on this? Also how long was your cycle this time? Sorry for all the questions 🙈

Just to add I took 2 a day- 1 after breakfast and 1 after dinner

Hello, I took it first month TTC and was successful. Not sure if it was the Agnus cactus as I only took it about 1 week before ovulation and until bfp but don't think it can do any harm. It has good reviews online and is supposed to help lengthen luteal phase if that's an issue

@notyetamumbuttrying I’m sure someone earlier in the thread said they took it for long cycles, I’m fairly new to all this as well, I’ve got a 3 year old DS but fell pregnant with him fairly quickly, have been trying since he was 1 to conceive again but have had two miscarriages inbetween and I’m so desperate for my rainbow baby I’m willing to try anything at this point!

Hi @MrsCl19, I take it for long cycles I started it a few weeks ago and within less than 3weeks I ovulated, so I stopped taking it until AF showed again yesterday so just started taking it again. My cycles range anywhere between 32-80+ days. I take it with folic acid and vD.

Nope @MrscJan2018 for short ones! Mine sway between 24-26 days so wanted them at 26 so that I ovulate later. It's worked as didn't get my surge today but now freaking out I won't get it at all and wondering whether to stop?! I am new to it so started it a week before my period so it's been two a bit weeks now. I love it, it helped calm my pms symptoms down too. It's like a wonder drug if it helps long cycles too! Should it shorten yours then?

Thank you @notyetamumbuttrying
We’re you taking it for long cycles? My cycles range from 32-35 days. How long have you been taking it?

I was @MrscJan2018. I took agnus in the morning and pregnacare in the evening to space them out but not sure if you had to or not, I just thought it best I did.

Hi can I join?
Does anyone know if you can talk AG while also taking pregnacare?

Hi hoping to join as I've recently been taking agnus to lengthen my follicular phase as I ovulate early. I was due to ovulate tomorrow on cd10 so I'd usually get my surge today but I didn't. Do most stop taking it once they get their surge or should I just stop today cos I already know its lengthened my follicular phase? Thanks for any advice!

I took mine until my line got darker, but probably would have stopped at my bfp. There are studies with it having been tested on pregnant women for specific issues but as its not been tested to make sure it's specifically safe and can't cause issues it's probably best not to (which is why they put don't take it on the bottle too-they don't know its safe unlike folic acid, pregnacare etc which they have tested to be sure its ok)

@Chlo2701 I’ve only been taking AG up until ovulation each cycle, that’s what I’ve been told to do from other ladies who have been successful. It actually says on the pack “do not take if pregnant or trying to get pregnant” and that scared me a bit 😳

I've just ordered some of this along with Coq10. AS AF turned up today. I take it you can take them both together? Is it ok to take them both continuously until a BFP or do you know if you have to stop once you get a BFP?

Back in 2017 I had come of the pill with no af so I took it after 4 months just in the hope for an af but 6 weeks later got a positive! Could have been coincidence but I believe it was the reason!

Tried again this year with dd to shorten my cycles as they were really long and I just kept getting thrush so I gave up but caught naturally so who knows

I'd recommend them if you have done your research ☺️

*Edit: I've only taken it three weeks to get my body to ovulate and got a (faint) BFP two days ago. A bit of a shock but I guess the whole "don't take it if you don't want to fall pregnant" is true. Although not sure how much of this was actually the AC, seems a bit fast, but I just always think it doesn't hurt to try.

@myajane - it took 3 cycles
