What are vitex capsules?

Vitex is also known as agnus castus or chastberry. Is a herb to help re balance the reproductive hormones.

If you have longer cycles than the average herbalists may recommend taking AC. I took it this time after the MC but if works pretty quick with me so I tend to back off it pretty soon after starting it. Like a month or so later.

Only take AC up until ovulation I do not recommend that you take it after ovulation is case of a possible pregnancy xx

Thank you and welcome! I do have stupidly long cycles so it's definitely something I'll think about.

Hi ladies, sorry I have been awol. I've been preparing for my husbands deployment. We managed to get a last go at ttc in before he left yesterday so I believe I will be due to test on the 6th September. This will be our last shot until he returns in 2015. No pressure haha.

Good luck to everyone else. Keeping my fingers crossed for you all.

Xxx

Fx sailorsgirl!

I had a positive opk yesterday but today it's negative. :/

 

[hmmohrma]

Good luck to you two in the tww. Everything is crossed for you!

Fx sailorsgirl!

I had a positive opk yesterday but today it's negative. :/

That's usual, Pixie - some women get a + several days in a row but I don't, for example, it's just the one day, so you probably o'd today or maybe it's tomorrow - how long is it usually between +OPK & o? Hope you got plenty of BD in anyway!

 

[kategirl]

Pixiedust, I sometimes get two days of positives, but usually only one.

 

[Nikki1979]

Sailorsgirl - I hope you catch the egg this month.

Pixiedust - I usually get one day of positive as well. I think I ovulate like 12 hours after my OPK turns positive. Hope you catch the egg this month.

 

[Chrissi1981]

Ladies I want to ask you a question. I think I might be going mad but last month. I got this 2 or 3 days before my period. Next day was a negative. Do you think there's a chance a) it was left over hcg from my previous pregnancy which I lost a 10w4d in July or b) a chemical pregnancy or c) an evap (however there was definitely a pink tinge to it) ... I know it shouldn't matter but it kind of bugs me a little bit.

 

[Pixiedust22]

Hm maybe see if your period comes and if not try again? Have you had a period since your miscarriage?

 

[kategirl]

Chrissi - I think it could be any of those things, but I'm not sure which one I'd lean most towards.

I'm in a bit of unknown land right now. I'm 8dpo. Last night I was wasn't feeling all that great, and I woke up at 3:45 am really hungry (I had to eat some crackers since I felt hungry enough to feel a bit sick) and then was wide awake for about 45 min, which is typical of me in pregnancy but not normally. I took a Wondfo strip this morning and I think my eyes are just playing tricks on me, but I saw something. Right at 5 min I swore I saw something, but I think I was imagining it. At exactly 10 min I did see something, but it was still extremely faint and I know those tests can't be trusted past 5 min. I tried to get a pic, but they weren't good (seemed fainter than real life). I'm guessing it was my imagination or an indent at 5 min, and maybe an eval at 10 min? It's my first month ever testing with non-digi's, so I have a bit of a learning curve. I'll just have to wait until tomorrow to test again to see.

I really suspect it's nothing, but here's some POAS "porn" in case you want to check it out. These were taken at exactly 10 min.

*EDIT*: Okay, seeing them at that size once I uploaded them, I really think it was just my eyes playing tricks on me, I don't see anything now! But looking at the same pic on my cell phone, I do see something. But probably just an evap.
