need ttc buddy. long cycles

[trying2bamom]

Hey, I am looking for some ttc buddies. Hoping to get BFP with others. I have very long cycles at times. I have been having af for 8days now. Before this I hadn't had a period since the end of June. I started taking Vitex (chastus berry angus catus) about two weeks ago and af came on last Friday 11-8-2013

I am 30 my DB is 31. We decided to ttc at the beginning of August. At times I get frustrated with wanting my BFP.

I've taken so many pregnancy tests wondering if my o finally happened and I ended up preggers and that's why it's still not here. ...lol. crazy right?

I went to doctors a few years back when this happened. They told me I was fine.So as far as I know I don't have PCOS.

I'm looking for other ttc buddies to take my journey with me.

I'm also bbw. I know losing weight should help as well. I'm working on that as well

Hello Trying2bamom,

I would love to be your buddy we are so similar! I came off BCP July 15 of this year and haven't had a period since. Before that was on BCP for 10 years (im 26) and before the BCP have super long times in between periods 6-8 months! I am also trying to lose weight but really don't think it has anything to do with my problems as I was much smaller at 16 and was still having problems back then. So what is Vitex a rx or herbal supplement? I will add you to my prayer list!

Blessings and Baby Dust,

Wow I just read my post. I didn't realize I had that many typos. So sorry everyone. Will edit.

Byhisgrace08 hey,

Vitex is a herb suppliment. I read so much about it, so I'm trying it. I have been taking it even while on af but I don't know if I should. I have been having af for 9 days now. So I think I will give my body a break. Let af stop then start vitex back afterwards. I don't know if its the vitex trying to normalize my system or what.

And please add me to your prayers. I need as much bd as I can get. And I'm sending a lot your way as well.

Hi Trying2bamom,

Just thought I would pop in and see how you are doing? I am waiting for call back from Dr about pelvic ultrasound I had on Friday but luckily so busy with Finals in Nursing School so it is helping to take my mind off it! I will have to do some research on Vitex I prefer all natural medicines.

Blessings,

I am lucky if I get a yearly period (havent got one this year!)
But I tried liquid vitex last year and got pregnant right away. Taking high high doses of it now ..

I am in radiation therapy school so our finals are coming up too!! (finished xray school this time last year!)

Maybe between our distractions with finals one of us will happen to chance upon a BFP.

GL!

That thing kind of calculates itself. Like the hpts I usually try to buy a box of like 7 or more. I will check out that site. How long did it take you to get pregnant with vitex. I finally came off af today. I stopped taking Vitex while on af these last two days. Will start back tomorrow. I am taking the pills Natures Way 400mg three times a day.

Hi Tryingtobeamom,

Glad to hear AF stopped!!! Just curious besides vitex what else have you taken to induce periods? My dr is starting me on Provera. Also since you have really long cycles do you track...I am going to once I start having cycles to track but kinda not sure how to do it...any input?

Hey Hope I can join! I stopped birth control in April after 10 years on. Had a short, light bleed end of August and nothing since. So really, only one period since April! Been to MD 2 x, blood is fine both times. She keeps telling me to wait it out and keep trying every other day. We are exhausted!!!!!!

Baby dust to everyone. Kind of glad I am not alone in this! Everyone I know personally has no issues getting pregnant. Everywhere I look someone is announcing pregnancy!

 

[rachellh08]

Vitex is a natural herb.. GNC and vitamin world carry the capsules.. Look it up on google its very very commonly used. I read one study that within 6 months it made 86 percent of people get a period who weren't having them previously. It works on the pituitary gland (which I have a small cyst on) Its the main ingredient in fertilaid, fertility blend and others. Do not use with soy which has similar but opposing effects...
My problem with RX Progesterone never caused me a withdrawal bleed nor did metformin so why should I believe Clomid would work when nothing else that lady tells me works... (metformin did cause weight loss though and progesterone is necessary during pregnancy)
I got pregnant the first month I used vitex. (actually if you date back to conception the first week but didnt get my BFP until the end of the first month)
Like I said I hadnt had a period in over a year at the time and had only had 3 in my life. I wasn't trying to get pregnant just wanted a period.
I was using the liquid type which is better I think, because more is absorbed by the body. This is harder to find. I know of a "health food store" its all natural and thats the only place I really find liquid version anymore, but I can find the capsules everywhere. You can order it off amazon.
If you question whether or not it works just google vitex..
Or go onto amazon/ebay and look up fertilaid (because the number one ingredient is vitex)
The only negative reviews are for people who had periods on time before trying it (It seems to give them their period sooner) its like average 4/5 stars from thousands and thousands of people and all the people who had regular periods before are giving it straight ones so you know its gotta work to still have 4/5.



Heres some Vitex (1) and Fertilaid (2) reviews (dont buy fertilaid its just that vitex is the main ingredient in it and people use vitex for more than pregnancy so the reviews wont be as concentrated on ttc for vitex)
1) https://www.amazon.com/review/R17JRWAO61Z1TE/ref=cm_cr_pr_viewpnt#R17JRWAO61Z1TE

I can undertand that. I hadn't had a period for 5 months almosy and I startrd vitex and it came on within two weeks of taking it. I'm hoping I get my bfp soon. I start back taking it today. Wasnt taking it the last two days of af. I didn't think it would ever end. It lasted 10 days. Iam on cd12 and its the second day off af. So I'm just trying to bd with DB at leadt every other day while taking it amd hopefully I get a BFP.

Blessings & Baby Dust,

That's the only thing I take to induce my period. VITEX worked and brought on aunt flow. I cany exavtly chart because this is the first period I've had since we started to try beginning of August. So this month I will bd and try to see how ling before my next period or hopefully my BFP.

I've heard of provera. At the moment I dont have health insureance. It kicks in in Jan. So coildnt go to hospital and plus I wanted to try some natural things before taking drastic measures. I'm just so happy that Vitex is working to at least give me af. I'm trying my best to do some tracking. I have to figure out my cycle before I can track ovulation.

Furthermore... tell her you are NOT OKAY WITHOUT HAVING PERIODS
I started crying... because I felt like they werent listening and they were like you know we could start charting towards clomid...I was like really?? I have been sooo upset without having periods for years and your just brining up clomid?
"metformin starts periods" they told me been on it 3 years nothing cept weight loss.
"progesterone will cause a withdrawal bleed" did nothing..
Vitex agnus chasteberry is seriously the only thing I know will cause me a break through bleeding.

GL YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

Thanks! I believe the period in August was brought on by Vitex, however, it made my hair very thin and it was seriously coming out in clumps! I had to stop vitex and hair returned to normal. CD 86 now so I restarted vitex along with hair supplements from Whole Foods, hopefully they will balance each other out. At this point I would gladly give up my hair for a baby!

 

[t1017]

Also I was using the strip but I never got a positive on them. I was also charting, for the month of September my temps were all over the place. For the month of October they flatlined at 96.8

Hi everyone...I'd like to join you all.I'm 32 and I've been having an AF a few times a year. My last one was the beginning of August. My doctor put me on Metformin because of suspected (but not confirmed)PCOS. I took it for a while and didn't really see any results so I switched myself to an inositol/folic acid combo, similar to Pregnitude. Since then my bloodwork is improving, but AF still isn't showing.

I got my hopes up around Father's Day of this year because I had multiple positive digi pregnancy tests, but then a couple of weeks later had an AF so I guess I had a chemical. Really frustrating because it took me a year and a half of trying and then that happens. Now I get to wonder how long it will take me to conceive again It stinks only having a chance a few times a year vs. someone having a chance 12 times a year. Sorry, rant over

That is so true. I am on cd14 and its only the 4th day after af. It lasted for yen days. I will say that it wasn't heavy at all. So that was great because usually af is very heavy. To the point of needing the overnight pads throughout the day. So I'm greatful for vitex for that as well. I'm glad I can actually track which cycle day I'm on.

I feel you on that. Sorry that vitex made your hair come out. I haven't had anything like that or noticed anything like that either. I think it works differently with everyone. I tried fertibella conceiveeasy and it did nothing for me, which is what prompted me to start vitex I saw it was the main ingredient in most of those fertility suppliments. And its working on af.

My insurance kicks in in January so I'll be able to go see a doctor hopefully. I am trying natural things first though. I've even started a ttc journey on youtuve just to help get my frustrations out. I've spent countless hours watching thise just to see who got their BFP and how. I kniw its crazy...lok. but I want my baby.

To nake matters worse my little sister had her daughter last night. And my DB started talking wanting a daddy's little girl. So of course we bd last night...lol. he's stopped with talking about during bd. Cause it was stressing me out.
