Anyone else counting down to April 1st?

[mummy_smurf2b]

9dpo tested with ic & superdrug own brand & bfn no evaps either lol so thinking those were definitely evaps & i'm out. Looks like onto seventh cycle anyway m-smurf when you conceived you mentioned some herbs you were taking that you think might have helped what were they & what do they help with. At moment not taking anything apart from folic acid x

So sorry for bfn

Angus castus - it helps regulate hormones, helps pms, it's also meant to be good to help men's sperm, give you a stronger ovulation and can bring it forward too.

Thanks i'm not going to lie i was abit bummed about bfn as cant help but worry why isn't it happening, I think i will start it so where did you order from & what's recommended dose for both men & women. Also is it in capsule form? I keep thinking with temping too it wont neccesarily tell me fpr sire that i ovulated right? Dh keeps saying everything is fine & not to worry but obviously i do worry as i'm npt getting any younger & clocks ticking lol

Tempin is in fact the only way to confirm your ovulating without doctors doing tests of course.

You can get it from places like eBay and Amazon. You can buy it in different forms, tincture, tabs or capsules. I went with the tabs as I was unsure about th capsules after reading they don't work for everyone in capsule form. I'm unsure of the dosage for men, for women it's 1000mg if I recall correctly.

Thanks & did you start taking from cd1 up until ovulation then stop? Sorry just trying to read up on it but getting confused also it says not to take if you have regular cycles? Were yours ok reason i want to take it is having to take clomid with my first so i think this is the natural alternative to clomid.

Starting temping too this cycle so i get an idea if i am ovulating if yes it'l put my mind at ease at least

 

[mummy_smurf2b]

Yep mine are regular and was fine, it's no prob I'm happy to help. Yea from cd 1 til ov. You can take it all cycle but then if u got ur bfp u have to wean off it by end of first trimenster so I'd rather just take it til ov.

 

[Mom2sam]

Right i'v just ordered it from amazon haven't come across any info on how long men should take so i'm figuring all month round. Excitement of ttc is kind of wearing off & told dh i just hope it's going to happen soon coz from ttc my ds i rember the emotional stress of it all getting to me after we'd been trying for a year don't want that again but guess all we can do is try & i always have u wanderfull ladies on here to vent to. My sisters are no help their all fertile myrtles & i remember couple month ago i mentioned to my sis & she was like well i'm 42 & i bet if i go off pill i conceive first cycle i'm just really fertile i thought jeez thanks. Others are a lottle more understanding but they'l just gv advice like 'stop stressing & it'l happen' or are you doing it enough' lol i have 4 sisters who all fall pregnant within 3 months & 2 of them first cycles
Anyway decided to keep doing what i'm doing but also temp for few months & start agnus castus soon as it arrives. Then if i dont fall pregnant going to just try no opks etc no temping etc for few months too & just dtd eod see if that helps too. That's my plan if nothing happens next 6 months go see docs. Last time i mentioned it to him which was few month ago he said you got pregnant twice with dh so doesn't think i have anything to worry about & when my bodies ready it will do it's thing basically. They take you more seriously if u already dont have kids

 

[mummy_smurf2b]

Yep sad but true. Like wen I was reading about ivf etc that said one of the things they consider is if u already have kids to whether Ud qualify for it free or not I was quite worried it would never happen for me either especially with oh sayin how he always sat on hot radiators wen he was younger it can across as he was also doubtfull. It will happen for u mom2sam I have my fx for you. We are always here to listen when u need to rant about it. I'm positive the agnus castus is going to help u, don't just stop it after 3month cause it can take that long to fully work although seem to work straight away for me.

 

[mzhwd]

Sorry to hear about the bfn mom. I hope that AF stays away for you. Yeah some people can be a little insensitive about this stuff. I starting to think that no one can understand this unless they've been through it. You still have time for a bfp this cycle so fx'd. For the most part temping will confirm ovulation. I don't think that you would have anything to worry about there due to your previous bfp. I don't think that the agnus castus would hurt anything. I have regular cycles and it hasn't changed my cycles. It's in the fertilaid vitamin that I purchased. I actually wish that I was at the end of this cycle already so that I would be closer to knowing the outcome lol

 

[Mom2sam]

Thanks ladies i already feel better. Lol m-smurf i couldn't help but lol at dh sitting on radiators we do start to look bk & worry could be due to this & that. I spoke to mine about him taking agnus castus too & he up for it. Spoke to sis today too not the older one but younger one & she said most women fall pregnant fall pregnant going off pill dont knw why but they do n that included me too came off pill got pregnant second cycle. She said maybe go bk on for 1-2 cycles & then try. At first i thought no its just wasting time but now that i'm thinking about it is true all my sisters use mini pill & once come off it conceive real quick. Just a thpught if nothing else worls lol

 

[Mom2sam]

Mzwid thanks i think i feel better starting agnus now just was a lil worried as i have a regular cycle but dont mind a lil boost with regulating hormones, better ovulation etc esp with this cycles late ovulation that i had, can i just ask what else are you taking? I usually know by 9dpo if i don't get a bfp i wont be getting one

 

[mummy_smurf2b]

Might be worth a try thou it would mean askin ur doc for some? I read a lot of ppl gettin preg while takin mini pill as its not as protective. Iv never tried gettin preg after stopping pill so don't really know .

 

[Mom2sam]

I have some from when after i had mc as doc had advised to wait 2 cycles before ttc again but i never did we just didn't dtd around fertile week. I think we'l just keep trying & start taking the agnus castus. It was just funny sis mentioned it as i'd been on it for 5 years & month i stopped i had one withdrawel bleed & got pregnant. I still got 3 month supply & date doesn't expire till 2017 so if nothing happens in next 3 months i might just try that & go back on it for couple cycles i'v read ypur fertile 24 hours after you stop pill that's why women prob get pregnant coz if u miss a pill or take out of 3 hr window it doesn't have effect but once you stop i'v noticed really fertile for some reason. That's been case with all my sisters & freinds anyway

 

[Mom2sam]

Anyway wandering if i should still test til af as i have a load of ic lol i'm over my bfn from this morning never lasts too long with me i always pick myself up quick & start preparing for af so more bfn wont upset me now will just do them for fun til af arrives.

[Mom2sam]

I found being pregnant in June with ds in summer harder than when i got pregnant in sept last year. Hope you get some sleep hun

 

[mummy_smurf2b]

I just cnt get comphy at all and I thought it was way too early for this bed time isn't fun at the moment.

 

[Mom2sam]

Yea would deffo be a surprise as i'v just bought more sanitry towels today expecting af soon lol if i got a bfp now i'd prob faint from shock i think just coz i got bfp both times at 9dpo i think if i get bfn by then i'm out but every times different i guess & depends on implantation etc

 

[mummy_smurf2b]

Yea my first sign of a bfp was at 12dpo but it was an unsure one tested next day at 13dpo n it was little darker but not much so used two of clearblue tests n they was clear bfp so then used a digi lol which reminds me did they ever get back to you?

 

[Mom2sam]

Oh yea they left a message on my mobile answer machine but i was in hospital that night tried calling them yesterday & today but no1 answering so going to try again tmrw
I tested today bfn how many dpo were you with DD before you saw a bfp line? I kind of know i'm out just waiting for spotting to start now at 12dpo followed ny af 13-14dpo
My little sis due first week of oct & said she secretly nn hoping i fall preggaz after that because she wants me to be her birthing partner lol she knows if i do before than i'l be too ill with hyperemesis to be there

 

[mummy_smurf2b]

I don't know cause back then I didn't do all the tempin, symptom spotting or even opks I only tested day af was due n got faint positive, my cycles was very regular then I could say for sure what day af was comin lol it's the only thing I tracked.
