I figured the same thing Dand, plus I don't think I took it at the right time too (I took it just after AF had gone ((the spotting phase)). I guess next time I will try Soy Isoflavones...stupid body!!!

hopingnowsit - you're taking everything I tried, I personally can't think of anything more. I would suggest after a while just give your body a chance to copy without the supplements - it may not do you great in the long run!!

Do you chart your temps or take opk's to maximise conception?

 

[dandybrush]

wow thats quite a list, i've only tried soy (for the last 3 cycles) i think it gave me strong Ov symptoms this time, when i increased the dose last cycle my Ov didnt seem strong at all, so this one i went bak to the lesser amount im on folic acid, i have tried the agnus castus tanz talked about, i think it helped me to Ov on my mega long cycle, but after that it didnt do anything. Maca is supposed to be quite good, though i cant find a tab small enough and less smelly than the large capsules i do have (so cant take it) it is supposed to help your whole system which in turn helps with fertility i havent tried anything else, but im thinking about going to a natural fertility specialist and see what they say

 

[Tanzibar83]

Dand - I tried getting a doctors appoinment today but couldn't get one - I'm tired of not knowing what my body is doing and I've got a point where I'm slightly scared. Surely if I was regular I'd be healthy right?

Gonna try get another appointment tomorrow and hope they don't just fob me off and tell me to come back when AF is here

 

[dandybrush]

if they fob you off try going to a diff dr, is it a gyn or gp you are seeing?

 

[hopingnowsit]

I do the opks and i was charting my temps but ive been seeing a fertility specialist and they have told me not to use it as the smallest bit of movement messes it all up...i take it at night and during the night i get hot flashes like crazy i never know which end of the bed i will wake up on lol...plus a little cramping once in a while and light headache during the day...this is my shot at trying it natural before my next dr app next month to talk about treatments

:wave: hiya hoping, glad to have you on board, well not really, you shouldn't be here really, but you know what I mean. I hope you get some answers soon.

Wowwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee nice one wanting, that's brilliant news!!!! Congrats, take it easy. I had a friend who bled on and off loads for a few weeks at the beginning. Tom is 2 in April xx

 

[dandybrush]

[WhisperOfHope]

we havent do e any this cycle exept cd 18 lol as i keep getting infections i have the fs on the 21st cant wait hopefully will get clomid or sumin to help ovulat and sumin to clear up this stupid infection i keep getting

 

[dandybrush]

can i ask what kinda infection?

TMI but sometimes after we bd, in the morning im mega itchy, like so bad it almost hurts and it can last for a few days, the only thing that gets it better is to have lots of showers and put cold water on it other times...nothing i might ask OH if he uses soap or something sometimes and nothing other times...i should prob mention it to the gyn...but its embarrassing

 

[wanting2010]

Dandy- Thank you hon! I'm trying to rest and not worry, but it's hard!!

hopingnowsit- Thank you hon and welcome to the thread!

Tanzi- Thank you!! I will definitely keep checking in here. Right now I'm feeling cautiously excited but really worried and don't want to get too excited until I know more after my appointment on Thursday.

Chele- Thank you hon! It definitely helps to hear stories about women who had bleeding but went on to have healthy pregnancies! Right now I'm trying to stay optimistic but it's hard!

 

[hopingnowsit]

Wanting- My sister bleed through most of her pregnancy and she now has a beautiful healthy baby girl....I also have a friend who bleed during pregnancy and from what she says it was a real P.I.T.A but she has a healthy daughter as well...so keep your chin up hun and it will work out

[chele]

aw lindsey that must be a right pain in the bum all the time.
Nice temp drop at 6dpo though - so we're both 7dpo!!!!

Got loads of AF type cramping this afternoon. Lasted about 4 hours. Me thinks it'll be another crap and short luteal phase

How you feeling now wanting?

 

[wanting2010]

Hey girls... well I have some bad news. Unfortunately I did miscarry. I had tried not to get my hopes up but in truth I did.

I have to go back to see my OB/GYN in 2 weeks. I saw the nurse practitioner Thursday and she said that generally my OB/GYN likes patients to wait 2 cycles before TTC again! I definitely don't want to wait 2 cycles and I'm going to tell my doctor that I would really like to restart Clomid next month. If I hadn't been testing early I probably would have never known I was pregnant in the first place and would have continued trying this month anyway, so I don't see the point in waiting.
