ladies i am CD5 today..my last cycle was 40 days..i will be using O test this cycle.. my cycle were 28 to 30 days till october...when we started TTC my cycle got messed up sometimes it is 32 days and sometimes it is 35 days and now last was 40 days...i think i may have hormonal imbalance..

I just read somewhere on google that Chasteberry, also known as Vitex Agnus Cactus, is a powerful herb that can help u achieve pregnancy by balancing your hormones....Does any one know about this chasteberry..

Thanks karry1412. Fingers crossed!

I hope one of those 5 follies met a little guy. What was your doctor doing different? Is your IUI today?? Good luck!! Right now I'm set to test on the 1st. My dh has sperm issues. He has poor morphology. I have PCOS but my doctor said it isnt effect our fertility. I'm on my 5th round of clomid as well. Were on our 6 cycle of trying. We've been trying since Sept 2011. I hope you get your BFP soon too!![/QUOTE]


My fingers are crossed for you! At least you have 5 different chances I just had my IUI done, all went well. Doc said my hubbys sample was perfect so that's exciting!! The IUI she did this time had a balloon on the end of the cathiter(sp?) and once it reached the uterus she blew up the balloon. She said its suppose to seal off the uterus from the cervix and when the sample is inserted it goes all the way up into the fallopian tubes. It makes sense but I don't totally understand it all. I'm having quite a bit of cramping, but I did for my last IUI too. So now I'm officially in the TWW! Lets get our BFP together this month Both of us are on cycle 5 of clomid and are on our 2nd IUI.....this is the month

woohoo!! Thats excellent news!! The balloon thing sounds like what they did to me when I had my hsg test done? Have you had that? I was in A LOT of pain as soon as they did it. So hopefully you're not. I bled a tiny bit too. Yeah for us being in the TWW together!! Yup, everything seems aligned so lets keep our fingers crossed in two weeks we can both celebrate!!!!

Yes, I had the HSG done too, it didn't really effect me the way the IUI has. It wasn't really painful, defintatly more pain for me with the IUI. I guess it effects everyone differently Since being on clomid have your cycles changed at all?

Yeah my cycles have been a lot shorter. They were like 5 days now there like 2. My normal cycle is like 28-30 days. My first month on clomid i was 33 days, since then though its been 27, 29,26...i dont know if i should be worried that is not one particular day but i would assume its just the clomid. how about you?

Mine have been shorter too. A normal cycle for me is usually 28-30 days. Since being on clomid its been 26, 23, 23, 26. Usually it will last for like 6 days but on clomid its been like maybe 2 days. So it made me question if they were even long enough to get pregnant! Good to know it's not just messing with me

I was a little worried myself but my last one was 26 days and that has been the shortest thus far. so im thinking thats still ok. trust me i dont mind the 2 day periods i was just worried it meant something bad. I told my dr and he didnt seem concerned. He said it was normal

Well - I did say DH and I were ntnp for the next few months but I would be grateful if MrsMMM24 could pop me down for testing on 9th March 'just in case'

I am hellishly busy at work as two of the nearby hospitals has 15 vacancies in the therapy teams and we(community staff) are being asked to do some in-reach work. It sucks that my community patients will have to take a back seat but NHS spending on blocked beds is huge so the priority is getting them out of hospital and back home (where I then have to give them less priority!) I think it's safe to say I will get very little chance to get on here between work, organising all the school uniforms for the school in March and hopefully getting my first foster placement soon....

Yes, I've heard it works, but you have to take it regularly and sometimes it takes up to three months to affect you. Kind of like St. Johns wort, in that sense. I took it for a while, no side affects. I am going to start again, maybe starting next cycle.
Do you know what I found really brought my cycle back to normal? Changing jobs. I was miserable. The stress was killing me. I don't love my current job, but it doesn't make me as crazy. And relaxing a bit on the ttc front. I was borderline obsessed and it wasn't doing me any good. Took a break. A breather. Now dh I are trying, but more like ntnp in a way? Make sense?
