Hi
I have a history of long, irregular cycles, which are affected by my weight (currently doing slimming world and trying to get as much weight gone as possible).
Earlier this year I was taking agnus castus (amongst other supplements) and got my cycles down to a regular 43-45 days.
We were due to go on honeymoon at the beginning of June and I cut out all supplements as I didn't want to be stopped by the turkish security and have to try and explain what everything was for. And I really think that's what's messed my cycles up (currently cd111).
I started taking all the supplements again as soon as we got back (about a month and a half ago) and had some pale pink spotting for a few days about 2.5 weeks ago. But nothing really since (though as I type this I've got a bit of ewcm and have had cramps for the past couple of days, which I do tend to get before af, but also before ov too obviously, but because I don't have opks with me I have no way of finding out either way).
The original plan was to focus on my weight loss over the next few months and go to see our Dr in January. But, I suggested that if I lose another 14lbs to show that I'm taking the weight loss seriously, then we should go back as soon as that 14lbs is lost. However, hubby wants to stick to the original plan and to really go for it over the next few months. I can see where he's coming from, but I'm panicking that af won't come and that I'll be going back to the Dr in January and saying "oh by the way I haven't had af since before we went away in June"
I'm sorry for all the rambling, not sure if there's much point to this post, but any advice/support would be greatly appreciated
