I'm on my first month of using AC so will update if/when i see any affects!

Hello All great to 'meet' you!

I got mine from boots and I dont think the number of tablets is any problem as some have a smaller dose.

Last time I took 2 400mg tablets until I thought I have Ov'd then stopped and it left me with a 70 day cycle. Im quite sure I stopped to early and that was the cause of the problem, so this cycle i will be taking straight through to AF.

Ive also heard of some tablets which contain 1500mg but the recommended dose (according to one website) is 1200mg so I will actually be taking 3 tablets a day.

Good luck to everyone!!

I think I'm on 1600mg per day (2 tablets, 2 times a day) which is what it says on the H&B instructions. It's so lovely to be in contact with other PCOS/long cycle ladies as it can feel so lonely sometimes!

I'm also trying to lose weight to help my long cycles but am finding it more difficult than I ever have in the past when I was on Dianette/Yasmin. Having the thyroid problem also isn't helping as at the mo I'm underactive and holding on to weight like a good un!

Lace & Pearls - I also have IBS and am not finding AC is affecting this at the mo but will keep you updated.

Is anyone else 'feeling' like something is happening but hasn't ovulated? I have strange cramps when I wake!

Ive had faint lines on opks but no positive. I've got a strange burning sensation in my tummy, like i normally get before AF! Very bizarre

HoneyWright · Apr 18th, 2010, 09:10 AM

last cycle i was feeling so different to normal, i was actually positive i was pregnant. I felt it was good to feel different, as it meant something should have been happening.

Venus I know what you mean about finding other people in the same situation. When I used to go on the cycle buddy thread I would have one cycle for every two of someone elses!!

Hope those faint OPK's get darker and darker

dreamofabean · Apr 18th, 2010, 09:34 AM

The lines have now disappeared! I'm really confused!! I know i havent missed the surge as ive been doing (ahem!) 3 tests a day!!

I'm not sure what's going on!!

Hi all

I've just started this month with AC too as well as vit B6 to try to lengthen my LP. My cycle is usually 28 days but didn't know before I started using the CB opk that I don't O till CD19. Bummer.

Hoping that the AC and B6 do the trick this month

HoneyWright · Apr 18th, 2010, 11:20 AM

dream, dont panic happened to me last month, keep testing

dreamofabean · Apr 18th, 2010, 11:23 AM

I got my first bfp with AC, in the first month. Can't fault it in my opinion. Xx
