I took this when TTC and having recurring miscarriages. Currently have DD, 8 mths, asleep in my arms

But we also followed smep this month, or might have just been a lucky month!

Sammyclaire22 · 22/05/2020 05:49

I started that month so think it was about cd2 until about cd21 but I carried on until I got my strong line at cd26 assuming that I wouldn't get pregnant this month and It needs to be taken a while to work apparently. I ovulated a day later than normal too- I'm usually cd10 or 11 but this month was cd12.

Another poster started taking vitamin b complex, Co enz 10 and agnus and got a bfp so Ive been on the vitamin b and Co enz 10 for about 4 months and had a chemical in Feb. This month I added agnus c (Holland and Barrett)and got a bfp again- the lines are much darker. Plus I only have one tube! No idea if it was coincidence but I read up on them all and there are minimal side effects and lots of evidence to support the use of it x

@Suki2020 same one I take. I took it twice before and might up again but always started off with 1.

Suki2020 · 21/05/2020 20:18

@Gee1235 this is the one I take, and I take it twice a day.

Hi,
definitely give it a try. Only take up to ovulation when TTC!
I've taken it to TTC #1 and am now back on it after a TMFR to get my cycles back.
My sister (midwife) recommended it when I came off the pill and my cycles where extremely long. Since I've recommended it to many people, my friend actually had to cancel her IVF plan because she fell pregnant on it.

@Suki2020 hi, I am looking to take it for the same reason, what dosage do you take everyday? I can't find anything on how much to take and how often 😩 x

Nat4392 · 21/05/2020 15:32

*just to clarify, I’ve only been taking half the dose as I was worried about it messing up my cycle too much. I also only take them during FP, as soon as I get a positive OPK, I stop taking them and then restart when AF arrives again x

Hi, I’ve been taking Angus castus as I have really irregular periods. This month was the first month I’ve every felt myself ovulate. Which to me feels like a plus. I’m currently 11DPO but haven’t tested yet as I want to try and wait until the weekend. My luteal phase is normally anything between 14-16days.

loulougirl · 21/05/2020 13:38

I'm interested in this too! Also TTC #2 since Oct 2019 with not even a hint of a line (conceived #1 first cycle). This month I started taking COQ10 as I read that it improves egg quality but I read that takes 3 months to have an impact on the eggs. I'd be keen to know if anyone thinks Angus Cactus helps!

I took it last month to try and lengthen my LP. It lengthened FP by 2 days but LP was unaffected. My period only lasted 2 days instead of the usual 7. I’m trying it again this month so I’ll keep you posted if it helps in any way! X
