Erm I'm not trying to stress the point- don't know why it posted 3 times. Sorry!

Johno I take folic acid and vit D seperately. Have done for the past 2 months x

Luci I just googled Vitex and it seems to be just another name for AC as is chasteberry. There the ones I've ordered, on prime so they should arrive tomorrow. Fingers crossed it works for us both!!
I ordered some Seven seas too as coming to the end of my pregnacare.

looby pull yourself together! Haha. It's OK hun we've all done it, just try not to drive yourself crazy. Fx for you but you wont know anything for a while yet and symptom spotting doesn't make a difference to the outcome so try and just relax :)

johno alright, calm down lol. That's a shame that it seemed to work at first but not since

Thanks highhopes I'm sure I'll be regretting it tomorrow! I felt like I had to really as I've been so lazy lately, same as you (no offense!!!!) that since my BFP I stopped everything, time to get back in time shape with the view that the healthier I am before next bfp the healthier the pregnancy will be (hopefully!). Good luck at the drs but hopefully it'll turn up before then.

Thanks for the info, sounds interesting. My cycles are pretty short anyway 25-27 days so I don't want to make them any shorter! Just saw a link to this on a friends Facebook, might record it, sounds interesting 😀

Oh and I was taking just folic acid and vit d before (just started pregnacare this month) the boots ones are cheap and 3 for 2 for anyone getting them separately!

No it's ok moonlight lazy is the perfect word to describe me at the moment, currently watching bake off with a cup of tea and a few squares of dark chocolate. I need to find my mojo again!

Thanks moonlight! I've given myself a talking too and have got a busy week next week at work so I should be ok now!

Hello all! Mind if I come back?! Joined for my first 4 cycles but then decided to try and have a break from obsessing! Hasn't really worked, I have still been reading just not posting! I'm onto month 8 but cycle 6 of trying as still getting 40-55 day cycles.

I used AC and the first cycle was 28 days but then increased back up after that so I stopped. But think there might be more to my irregular cycles. You would think after 8 months off the pill they would settle.

Moonlight - I have to wait until cd1-5 for my first blood test. I'm currently cd43 and 5dpo so not long to wait 😊

HighHopes I was taking 2 X 1000mg tablets a day 😊 I bought the £6.50 ones of Amazon too

Welcome back May!! 😄

Do you have to wait until af to start taking agnus castus though? Or can you start taking it at any time?

AF has arrived ladies so I'm out! Gp appointment today so trying to stay positive xx

luci some recommend to take AC from cd1
Up until you've ov. Hope this helps.

Welcome back to madhouse May X

Luci - normally, like Johno said, you take it from cd 1 until you ov but as you want to kick start ovulation as long as you know you're not pg you can start taking it when it arrives 😊

Sorry about af cookie

Morning ladies, hope you are all OK... good luck for today Cookie

I've been back at work and super busy this week which has been a great distraction seen as absolutely nothing is happening!
Don't even feel like I'm ttc at the moment!

Ok, I will start popping those pills as soon as they arrive! Hopefully tomorrow! Thanks ladies!

Cookie, sorry af got you.

I feel your pain Seven! X

I've just got an email saying mine are on the way. I feel slightly more hopeful now!

Jel! Wish I had done prime now! I looked and mine aren't due til next week...bugger!

Well if you don't hear from me in the next couple of days, you'll know that that was a poisonous batch of AC and not to take yours Luci !

Hi all I think I am 11dpo today. I thought I hadn't ovulated because I got a almost positive opk a couple of weeks ago, then went away for the weekend and didn't have any opks with me. Had loads of ewcm and ov pain around that time but cos I didn't get sore nipples (as I usually do after ov) I assumed I hadn't yet, but since then I've been doing opks and nothing. Previously when I've geared up to ov and haven't managed it, I have got darker then lighter opks then back to dark but they have all been light since a couple of weeks ago so almost certain I did in fact ov then!

11dpo is the longest I've made it before so fingers crossed AF stays away. I did a cheapie test this morning and bfn so hoping it's too early. Anyone else testing soon? I've had a bit of light cramping and sore boobs/nips but no other symptoms yet.

Ha! Highhopes! Hopefully mine come Monday so I can join in!

Claire, fx af stays away for you! X

Opks came today! So just did my first ever one straight after work haha. Negative which is good on cd6 as I think I ovd really early last cycle as it was so short so hoping to get a few more dtd in first!

How long do you think you have to hold your wee in first ideally? I do drink alot usually so I'm thinking go for a wee about 3 and then not drink anymore til after I test about 5.30/6 every eve? Is that enough?

Welcome back may (but sorry you're still ttc!).

cookie sorry af got you and hope appointment went well today, let us know how it went

Thanks for welcoming me back! 😀

That's what I do with OPK's Moonlight. Stop drinking at 3 then test at 6. I do sometimes forget and find myself drinking in a meeting at work and quickly have to stop!

CD19 here and no ovulation. Really hoping for something this weekend as OH away all week. Think it was CD29 last month so could still have a while.

Happy Friday everyone. Anyone testing this weekend?

Just got email to say my agnus castus will be delivered on Monday so can get going with that next week. Highhopes, have you started taking yours?

Cd36 for me today and no signs of anything happening any time soon! No symptoms of any kind. x

Yes, Took my first this morning. They taste rank!!
CD68 for me.
