Ladies: I had a short LP. I fell pregnant 4 times in 5 months. One month the lines gradually got darker until 5+4. Another cycle the lines didn't get dark, and another 2 cycles BFPs but AF would show even when I had lines. It was frustrating. I went to the Dr. and he said it had to happen again before he'd send me to a fertility specialist. So...

I cried some more, and ran into a lady that has been TTC for over 4 years with many procedures and lots of money spent... One loss and still trying. "She said: 1 loss is way to many." And it is... So, with her help and experience. I decided to go with B6 and progesterone cream. I found out I was pregnant that same month. And here I am.

I did B6 right away. It's really just leafy green vegetables. I bought progesterone cream over the counter. (You have to watch what you buy. Some jars have low progesterone cream amounts in them.)

I used OPKs and started the progesterone cream at 3dpo. I used the single dose as instructed right on the back. I got my BFP at 9dpo (faint line.) And I doubled the dose. At 12 weeks, I lowered the dose back to the single. And I stopped at 13+5. I would've continued but I forgot 2 doses and was confident the placenta had taken over.

The dose is a lot smaller than the 400mg progesterone cream that the specialist prescribes. But the lower dose is enough to help many women.

Oh darling, hope she says away, what's your temp doing? Xxx

Thanks Leinzlove, it just goes to show that you can take charge of your own fertility! In the UK the doctors don't really check for low progesterone... My doc said it wasn't part of the testing process for recurrent miscarriage! Having read so many stories about how progesterone supplements helped ladies carry to term, I really don't understand why it's not checked! Xxx

thanks Leinzlove!!!

stupid question how does the b6 help and the progesterone cream help/work?

 

[live_in_hope]

she came.... thank you leinlove, that was an interesting post i was tested again for low progesterone at 7dpo, see what the results are....somethings up, it has to be, a 8day lp it has to be!!! wishing you all lots of luck, see you in a few weeks! 5wks to be exact) the tww is a doddle co pared to the time i have to wait to ov xxx

 

[katestar53]

Oh sweetie What cd do you usually OV? Xxx

 

[live_in_hope]

well when i was normal and had normal/consistent cycles, i ovd on cd23/24 with a 10/11 day lp. But since november its been anywhere between cd20-cd36 and i have no idea why this has been my shortes lp in a while aswell, theyve been 10days past few months, which was normal for me. I really thought things were sorting themselves out and getting back to normal xx

 

[Bushmumma]

Sorry live I hope you get something to help you before next O darlin

 

[live_in_hope]

thank you xx idont know what to do in terms of medical help...the Dr that specialises in fertility at my local GPs is useless, she really is and i dont want to go back to her.... xx

Think i will start vitex/chasteberry.... How much do i take and on what days?

I feel desperate at the minute.... I had no problem getting pregnant before. My first was conceived after hubbys vasectomy reversal...the sperm test was so low the doctors told us we may never conceive....i was preg within 3months after the operation! then my 2nd pregnancy, i came off the pill in march last year and was pregnant by end of april! So what is my problem! thank you ladies, for all your lovely help, having me moaning so early in the morning isnt nice, so i do really appreciate it xxx

xx

Live.. I so recommend Vitex:angus castus) from Holland and barrett... my sister is a paramedic and has a lot of medical friends and her friend who is a midwife spoke to me after my mc and said there are two things that are excellent and that was angus castus and don quai... I bought both.. it got my back to a normal cycle after only 6 weeks.. she said.. her and 5 of her friends are all 38-43 and over past 2 yrs they all got babies.(they seem to be older having babies in medical jobs) I have never taken then since because I am back in normal rythym... read up on soy isflavones too not sure if they increase lp but they are awesome for eggs.. as they are natures clomid. I ordered some progesterone cream from america.. should be here by monday.. I was gonna try that if it arrived early but im having the same day 21 test as you.. tomorrow.. so should get results back by next wed/thursday.. pack yourself with vitamins B compound too etc.. hope you get it sorted x

 

[live_in_hope]

thank you so much!! What dosage did you take of the vitex? Il go today. And when do u take it? Ive been on 100mg of vitb and its done nothing will get soy iso too, what dosage of that do i need? There are certain days to take that arent there? Thank you,at work now, in cupboard lol x

 

[Soanxious]

Angus castus I took 2 a day after food at lunchtime.. went to send u a link but seems they may of stopped selling it online.. if your popping into town go ask them for it.. if not you can get it online... around 800mg is fine to take a day

I got these https://www.justvitamins.co.uk/Herbal-Vitamin-Supplements/Soya-Isoflavones-100mg.aspx#.U25ypiinjIU to take 1 a day from CD 3-7 ONLY but if you are ov on time I wouldnt take these as it may reduce the days to ov? not sure.. have a read up on goggle and see what others say for your situation (ps some women take these to have twins )

some links about don quai and angus castus.. don quai promotes blood to the pelvis... https://www.justvitamins.co.uk/Herbal-Vitamin-Supplements/Soya-Isoflavones-100mg.aspx#.U25ypiinjIU
