Agreed!!

@lilac i understand the not going to the dpc thing. Have you tried self diagnosing? i have tried it my last 2 cycles. I analyzed my luteal phase determined it was too short
(mine is 11 and the ideal is 12-13) so i started taked b6 vitamins. boom 12 day LP.
Its not a cure but i know for me it makes it feel like im working towards getting closer

I have definitely tried self-diagnosing as well as I can. I have determined I also have a LP that is too short and I have gotten it to 11 days from 9 or less. I am taking a box-load of vitamins and supplements to hopefully balance my hormones and increase fertility including vitex, maca, vitamin C, vitamin D, prenatals, cod liver oil, red raspberry leaf, nettle leaf, zinc, and Ca++ Mag- combo. I'm also using progesterone cream which is lengthening my LP like I mentioned.

Yay for health insurance! I hope it is a good policy, all health insurance has to cover a physical and pap smear at %100 as part of health care reform act so at least you will have that!

My partner NEVER remembers to take meds or vitamins. I bought a daily pill organizer at the dollar store and put my partner's vitamins in it AND set an alarm on his cell phone so he remembers to take them every day. Every Sunday I refill it! I am totally enabling his laziness, but its the only way to make this happen.

Good idea! I think I will try this for sure. I asked my DH if he thought it would help him remember and he said yes but that it would be embarrassing for him at work Oh well, maybe he'll start remembering on his own then?

Oh i slip it into DH coffee every morning. I put in some maca, open up vitamin capsules and stir it all in. i make him his morning cup before work so its the only way we can be sure he takes it all. ( he LOATHES pills)

Hahaha! He would totally kick my butt if he found out I did something like this lol :-D

Thank you all again for all the support and encouragement!

I have read B6 strengthens LPs. Also, my man takes his pills in the AM before he leaves for work. I set the alarm on his phone to go off at 5:10am on weekdays and 8:30am on weekends.

That is a better idea

Do you know what time during the cycle I could start B vitamins? I am CD 13 today and have probably already O'd 2 days ago?
