Need advice: when to start supplements

[Stash777]

I am 9 days late, no signs of AF, and all BFNs, so I think this is just my "regular" irregular cycles kicking back in after three regular cycles. I have a Dr appt Sept 20, but I don't want to miss the eggy if I ov before then. I'm actually not sure if I even ov this cycle This use to be a fairly normal occurrence of me not ovulating and not having AF. Oh, also, I'm not having any preg symptoms either, so I'm pretty sure I'm not preggo. I have vitex, soy isoflavones, and evening primrose all ready to go. Should I start taking them now even though AF hasn't shown yet?

Anyone?

Hopefully someone can help me out here. I've read through some other posts that you should take soy isoflavones like you would clomid, which would be on specific CD for 4 days (if I understand correctly), EPO up until ovulation, and vitex I'm not sure about. Since AF is late and I've had irregular cycles in the past, I don't know if I should start on these or wait it out until AF shows?? In the past I've gone 4 months without AF a few times it was 6 months. I'm at a complete loss as to what to do.

Im thinking you didnt OV yet. Are you temping at all? This was my first cycle and I started temping cuz Im so irregular too. The only one I know anything about is the evening primrose oil and that only take it before OV because after it can cause contractions and affect implantation. Hope someone else comes along that knows a little more!

Thank you so much for your reply! I'm thinking that I didn't ovulate either, but DH and I have been every other day just in case. I've been trying to temp but our house has no ac so the temperature fluctuates everyday. My temps were all over the place: one day it would be 98.6 and the next day 96.7 and just back and forth, so I just gave up on that for the time being. I wasn't checking CM during this past month because we were trying not to try, if that makes sense, just BD at least every other day I'm actually just completely confused as to where I might be on this cycle Thanks for the info on the EPO, that's helped a lot! I just want to make sure that if on the slight chance I may be preg but not getting a BFP yet, that I wouldn't be doing anything to harm the pregnancy. I think I'll just wait it out until after my appt with my new OB so they can confirm either way Thanks so much again!!

Oh and GL, hope you get your BFP soon! Fx'd xxxxx

My chart was all over at the beginning of my cycle but then as soon as I OV it looks pretty normal. I thought it was crazy wasting my time until I got the OV signs! Good luck and hope the doc has some helpful news for you!
