CD68 today. Bfn yesterday. But STILL no sign of AF
Hi ladies! You all seem a friendly bunch and I was wondering if I could join you in our collective search for a BFP with crazy cycles. A bit about me, I'm currently on cycle #7 TTC #2. We started trying as soon as I got my first PP AF because it took so long (over 2 years) to get pregnant with DS. All my cycles since DS have been kinda normal and I was so hopeful that that would continue but I guess it was not meant to be. Last cycle was 71 days long. I started taking Vitex this cycle and I've read good things about it helping to regulate hormone levels. I have the dreaded PCOS. My AF this month has been wackadoo as well. Currently on CD7 and still going which is not normal for me. Why do our bodies have to be so stupid!!!
Oh, and as for the testing thing, I always think it's cute when these girls with bang on 28 day cycles say that they are POAS addicts. I'm like, girl, try having to test like two or three times a week for 3 or 4 weeks then we will talk about being an addict.
I hope you ladies are having a terrific day!
I hear ya! I have tested twice a week every week with my longest cycle to date! (I tested AGAIN today for the third week in a row.. BFN) What is Vitex? My doctor is thinking they are going to have to induce periods... we're giving it until May-July (that will signify a year off BCP). I'm trying to take the natural approach to somewhat regulate myself (no luck so far!)
Vitex is a natural herbal supplement. It's supposed to help balance your hormones. They say it's really good for women with PCOS. It's also called Chaste Berry. I started taking it a few weeks ago. I was on CD60-something with no sign of AF and a few days after starting it AF came. I'm not sure if it was the vitex that helped bring on AF or not. It's supposed to be a slow acting supplement. They say that it usually takes about 3 months to build up in your system and start working. If you are looking for something natural and you have a few months to give it a try. If you do, let me know how it's working for you and I'll do the same. Fx you get a BFP real soon either way!!!
I might have to look into Vitex! If I decide to try it, I'll definitely let you know. I'll probably give AF another week to come on its own. Where did you buy Vitex?
