Oh LLPM im getting very excited for you! Im glad that you are happy that even if not duffered the LP has increased. (i think Duffers for sure though)
Cossime and i think M2Q asked about Vitex. Its a herb, blackmores make it called Vitex agnus castus. (there are other brands out there) You generally take 1 tablet three times a day before meals, but that can vary. It is very useful for women who have cycles all over the place that seem to follow no pattern, or women who have a very short LP.
Last year my cycles were everywhere, once i came off BC AF went missing, and my skin was shit...it was miserable. Once i started taking vitex i got AF back, and now i get her every 30-35 days (one cycle even less than 30 days). It doesnt help conception in the sense that it doesnt interfere or help sperm meet egg. But because you get more regular you have more chances of conception. Once the sperm meets the egg its better to have a longer LP to help that fertilized egg stay in. So it helps in that sense to.
If you have a normal LP so 12-16 days, and regular cycle, then Vitex might mess that up, so dont take it. If you have a long cycle and shorter LP...you can give it a shot.
It is one of the few natural therapies herbs that has been clinically studied.
Sorry to all those facing AF pains on Monday! Mondays are painful enough without AF...but lets get us some Spring conception!
any one trying anything new this month?
cant believe its been almost a week since i POAS...but the Ovulation testing will soon begin. come on Spring conceptions!
