Aspirin / Cough Med / Grapefruit juice

[Angsthase]

Are you supposed to take these all the time or just around OV?
If around OV for how long before and after??

Plan on getting serious this month!

Already taking pregnacare and Omega 3 supplements. Anything else?

people will call you mad but...
I ov on day 17 -18 so I start on cd 10
I also take evenign primrose, use pre seed.
I have very little ewcm
Also drink loads fo water
What cough meds have you got
Venos do a nice one with treacle

I've got Benelin - will that do?

Do you take the evening primrose every day?

Already feel nuts obsessing about TTC - so no-one can find me nuttier than me!

I'm pretty obsessive too Angthase!

I take grapefruit juice and epo from the end of my period until ovulation - I ovulate around day 10.

I have some Veno's cough medicine expectorant with menthol to take this month as well. It's lovely! I might get some aspirin as well

Please, please do not take aspirin (at least without seeking medical advice first off). You do not need it.

The more important thing to consider overall is what your periods are like generally. If they are regular in nature it is more likely that you are ovulating than otherwise. If they are irregular then ovulation is less likely to be happening regularly.

Apaprently get your Dh to eat brazil nuts, worked for us anyway and my Mum too.

ATM, is there a danger with the aspirin?

Periods are normally regular 28/29 days, but I had m/c in May, so have had 2 AF's this month - one 4 weeks after ERPC and one 2 weeks later.

I think I'm back to normal now, but can't be sure. Just wanted to prepare as well as poss for the next OV.

i cant stress enough what AttilaTheMeerkat has said, its not a good idea to take aspirin without consulting your doctor, it could possibly do more harm than good in some cases.

from what i gather, the doctor MAY advise you to take it if you miscarry a lot, and i know it thins out the blood, but please only do this after consulting your doctor

i dont mean to sound patronising, far from it, i have been where you ladies are right now, and i would be greatful if someone warned me before i did damage to myself or my unborn should i have been lucky enough to have conceived in that month

good luck in ttc xx

Starflower oil capsules have more of the active ingredient that evening primrose oil by the way. I start with these things during my period but then stop after i think I have ovulated - you are not meant to take epo/starflower oil if you think you are pregnant.

I would second that about the aspirin - and not take it without the advice/prescription from a doctor. There are lots of things floating about on the web about what to take to increase your chances of getting pregnant - none of them proven - but taking medication isn't always wise, despite your intentions.

Another thing about aspirin is that asthmatics shouldn't take it - adults (particularly in their 30s/40s for some reason?!) can suddenly become allergic to aspirin and get a very nasty asthma attack with it... so please, if you're asthmatic, avoid!

I did not even see the aspirin.
I would not take that unless told by a doc.

OK, definately binned the aspirin thing. Thanks

Thanks for the advice, I'm asthmatic, so won't be getting the aspirin either, even thought I've had no problems so far with it (not for ttc).

I bought some brazil nuts this afternoon for dp and will get starflower oil too.

Amazing the lengths we will go to!
