Yeh. I was scared to try natural too but glad I did. I only took folic acid when I became pregnant with Tristan.
Anyone struggling to get baby number 2??

I don't know mrs w, I was determined to go natural but I'm rubbish at it 
I stopped taking b6 when I was ttc our dd because it lengthened my Lp from 13-14 days and made me crazy! I decided if it ain't broke don't fix it. I think things like agnus castus can confuse your cycles but it's hard because maybe it'll just take longer to work?? Sorry, I'm not very helpful!
Royal jelly isn't technically a supplement, it's a food so you should be ok with that?

I'm also eating this at the moment too. It's meant to be v good for fertility and it's a bit like Manuka honey I think?? It's got all the bee products in with extra pollen xx

I've stopped all supplements (except folic acid). Before my recent MC I was taking agnus castus, b50, vit b, coq10 and pregnacare. By the third cycle on this my cycle was all over the place. I had a 27day cycle then a loooong cycle where I ovulated a week late and then fell pregnant and MC.
It's so difficult isn't it. Unless you know exactly whats wrong, you don't know if a supplement will help or not. Not like any medical professional is that bothered or will help until you've got through lots of heartache.

Thanks everyone 
Feeling much better now. I had a cry and a but of a wobble but I'm ok now.
What do you all think to these? I can't decide what to set it at? I feel like O was CD14 because I had some cramps and my boobs became sore on CD15 which has only ever happened after O upto now.

Tricky! I love a good charting problem but it's very confusing, particularly with your ewcm pattern. Luckily you've got BDing covered whatever's it is. My instincts with fam but I don't know why!

I put a note on CD18 because I had EWCM but it was creamy in colour! I've added that in and advanced gives me solid crosshairs. I've also looked at past temps and everything after CD18 looks like my after O temps! 
Confusing one!

Hey ladies. How are your weekends going? Once again me and oh are working tomorrow and oh has been working today and yesterday so bank holiday means nothing to us!!
A quick inspiring story for you. A lady I spoke to today was 37 and planning on getting married. She was having painful periods so went for a scan and the dr said 'of course you know you won't be able to have children' which she didn't. She was told she had completely blocked tubes due to a horrid infection. She said she wanted children so the dr said to get on with it if there was even the tiniest chance. She had homeopathy and feeling and sure enough she got pregnant. She lost the baby 6 weeks before her wedding but soon after fell pregnant again and went on to have 2 boys. At 44 she accidentally fell pregnant again and went for a scan and they found a huge tumour in her uterus. She has it treated whilst she was 15 weeks pregnant and carried the baby full term! She now has 3 very healthy happy boys. If she can do it, we all can

thanks for the story, Munchkin. I love good news stories!
Mrs. W. Have you talked to your acupuncturist about your supplements? He/she should be helping you with that. My acupuncturist uses chinese herbal blends in capsules and I buy them from her.

Sig my acupuncturist isn't that interested in supplements really. I told her what I was taking but she wasn't that bothered and didn't recommend anything.
Well it's cd24 now and still very little progress on the opks. Although I think the oestrogen lines on the cbfm sticks are getting lighter which means in increase in oestrogen which in sure has got to be good! I wonder if the period really was a period at all. It came much sooner than I expected and was so strange. Hopefully my body will start to regulate itself soon.
I've been looking at playhouses on eBay and oh isn't happy about it!! He duesnt like all this plastic stuff in the garden but she loves the playhouses and we do have a tiddler so thae house had to be full of plastic monstrositys!!

No slg I haven't told my acu about the supplements. I think it's because deep down I thought he would say it was best not to take them all and I wasn't ready to stop. He isn't Chinese and he seems to do acu more as a treatment, alongside reiki, reflexology and other things. He hasn't mentioned herbs or supplements.
The story of the lady is lovely, I'm so glad she got her 3 boys, love a good news story. Thanks for sharing.
I hope that is your oestrogen rising munchkin. My af isn't as heavy as last month, no idea what if anything that means!
Sorry you had to work today, what do you do for a living? I worked Saturday but off yesterday and today. It's sunny so we are going to the beach to make sand castles

Im a radio journalist so there's no such thing as a bank holiday, although it's been painfully quiet today! Looking at playhouses for DD, i was giong to get a cheap plastis one but oh has vitoed them so i can get a posh wooden one!! He'll regret saying that 
Also i think my CM has increased which would add up with the estrogen rise. On the subject of supplements causing problems, i read yesterday that too much Evening Primrose Oil can delay ov. The website suggesting starting with 500mg and going up to 1000mg if necessary. I've been taking 2000mg since march and upped it to 3000 after AF finished

I think on the pot it says 1-2 a day, which is 2000mg, but i thought an extra one would only help, it's only an 'oil' after all. Ooops.

I think a nice wooden playhouse sounds lovely!
Oops! Time to cut back on those pills. Maybe a smaller dose will speed things up!
no news here. Not sure when I O'd but pretty sure that I did. We BD last night to cover the bases. now it's just time to wait....
Dd has been a mess today. Full on temper tantrum. Hubby lost his cool with her and was so frustrated. She wasn't listening to a word he said. Can I say that I got a little bit of satisfaction out of that
He's been telling me for two weeks (when he was out of town) that I just needed to figure out a better solution for her behavior. Guess it's not me after all, huh! 
Those two are upstairs napping so I get to go grocery shopping on my own!! The small pleasures of being a mom

Celine just because you don't get the 'joy' of opks and cm any more you will have to live vicariously through mine!!
So here you go on cd25! The top one is today. Basically with the cbfm sticks the right hand line is estrogen and gets lighter as estrogen INCREASES....the left one is LH

Hope your opks are looking good today babyjan! Button how many dpo are you now? I am so over this cycle, it's killing me! There's some colour on the opk today but nowhere near.
On a positive note, the groclock seems to be working! First morning I had to get in bed with her for snuggles, second morning I had to read story's until the sun came up, yesterday I had to get in bed with her but this mirning she woke up rattling the stair gate at 6.25am, I put her back in bed and told her to wait for the sunshine and it's now 7am and not a peep out of her! The sun comes up at 7.15 but now I'm worried she's gone back to sleep so I don't want to wake her if she has!
