The September BFP bus, second thread and not even September yet

[Kemie]

Please join the new bus here, the old one's all out of gas....

mama31, b6 can actually delay ovulation! Best to start taking it after ovulation, 50 a day, and then see if it works.

choccy, b6 is a vitamin taken by some to lengthen the luteal phase if it's too short

Vitamin b6 (get in asda for a quid) for box of them...and apparently can help lenghten luteal phase if take 50mg per day...I usually take 10mg per day but gona start increasing to 50mg tomorrow...must stock up!!!

Oooh really! This is all so technical!! So don't take it until I've ovulated then take 50mg a day after ovulation???

I didn't know that about b6, but I'm pretty sure my LP is normal... Never tracked ovulation before this month, though, so my LP is short I know what to do next month.

H is excited at the prospect of the SMEP plan, it's hilarious.

I'm sure he is wispa!! Lol I'm not doing smep as my hubby works shifts and there's no way I could dtd on demand when he finishes late at night! I can hardly keep awake past 10.30 haha! Rock n roll I am!! But I'm hoping opks help as ill be sure to dtd a lot over ovulation. Good luck with smep, hope its not too exhausting!

mama, that's what I would recommend. Especially since you've just come off the pill you;re not entirely sure yet your LP wont sort itself out. To prevent a delay in ov, better start taking it after. It's what I'm doing. I'm not taking 50 a day though, but 100 over three days, because it's my second cycle off the pill with an LP of 8 days. I'm hoping it will be longer anyway this cycle, but I just wanted to help it along a bit.

Wis, apparently inly if your LP is under 10 days it can cause problems in case the egg hasn't implanted yet at 10dpo.

Oh yes and if you want to prevent taking 5 pills to get your 50 mg, go to Holland and Barretts, they sell a higher dose (50s and 100s) quite cheaply as well.

Right,so take b6 after ovulation until AF arrives? Is it possible to buy the 50mg dose in the shops?

yes, that's what I would do and see how your LP is after that. You can always increase it the cycle after. Holland and Barrett have them

Thanks you, will do that this month and will probably spread the dose over a few days, like you.

Thanks blamber! Defo gona give that a go!

The 50mg tablets on the Holland and Barratt website are now reduced to £3.55.

Oooo writer and choccy we could start the Warwickshire branch of mad women! What's your secret location writer Give us some clues, no one will ever guess, promise!

Vix Malaysia? How lovely! And i'm with you on the cooking thing to pass the time, my dh had a delicious fish pie tonight followed by sticky toffee pud, yum even if i do say so myself think he's enjoying this ttc business

Ooh...I love sticky toffee pudding!

Sore boobs today - second day running (I am not looking for symptoms I promise!)

Oh, I don't know my LP yet.

Writer, sorry I missed you were warks, yes, give us a clue x

Lol onelife!

Onelife great idea....you need to keep his strength up ;) lol

VJ thanks for the info will be buying those 50mg for sure! :) feeling positive as sept could still be my month! Hope we get some bfps real soon, this thread needs some great news!

Indeed mama - it's our anniversary weekend coming up and we are away over what i believe will be my fertile time (i'm itching to crack open the opk sticks to confirm it but don't want to start using them too soon as only CD3 today!) Got this lovely dream that we will conceive our first baby on our first wedding anniversary....

jaykay I too am trying and failing not to look for symptoms. If only there was instant confirmation!

onelife I am now craving sticky toffee pudding! I think I will follow your lead and busy myself with cooking and baking to distract myself. Ooh and Great British Bake Off is on tomorrow, that always makes me want to bake treats :)

Yeay, love Great BBO!! Altogether now: Feed the world, make it a better place ....

OMG i've just learnt something - i always thought the words to that song was genuinely "feed the world" and i've just googled it and it's actually "heal the world" - this has been nothing if not educational for me

Onelife how romantic that would be! I hope it happens for you! If I conceived at the end of this month I would be due to give birth around the time of my wedding anniversary!!! Oh wouldn't it be lovely if we could just order everything to happen perfectly lol

I know, i've been going all swoony about it, if god or fate or lady luck or whoever it is that makes these decisions has an ounce of romance in them then they'd make our dreams come true

While we're talking supplements, I did some research into this when I had no AF post-pill and heard of agnus castus and dong quai. Apparently they regulate the cycle but you shouldn't take them post-ovulation as they can affect the developing bean if you've conceived. Also someone recommended black cohosh and red clover.

And eye of newt, and toe of frog...lol

Thanks bloumer!!! Lol think ill stick to the b6 and opks for this month! But who knows by nxt month ill prob be like "where do you get those eyes of newts/toes of frogs?" Lol

Onelife I know....I would stick to the prayers if I was you ;)
