Need your help girls....

[NeyNey]

AF has decided to go on vacation!!!

We need her to arrive so we can begin our IVF cycle....And of course she's WEEKS late...Grr (no, not pregnant, as I've done a zillion tests).

Soooo.
What kind of things can help to bring on AF? I've done some googling, but the only real thing I'm finding is Rasberry leaf tea...Where in the heck do I even find that?!! lol

Thanks girls

I wish I had some advice or help - but I just want to send my best wishes. I am routing for you NeyNey.

Hmm, I've never heard of raspberry tea helping with that. I'm pretty sure I brought AF on by running a good distance (about 3-4 miles) when I was late. That would be ahrd to do if you aren't used to it though. Good luck. Hope she arrives soon! xx

 

[NeyNey]

Lol^ Yeah I'd probably drop dead after a mile....

Thanks girls,
Guess I just have to wait....lol

I think I've seen raspberry leaf tea in our larger supermarkets. Otherwise I have no idea how to bring AF on ... I've never really needed to do it before so have no idea. Hopefully shows up really soon...

you can get RLT on ebay, or here in UK from health food stores such as holland & barrett, tho ive never known it be used for that.

Can ur doc not give u anything? I tried something when my af didnt come back after depo (cant rem name now tho) and its supposed to give u a withdrawal bleed. Tho it didnt work for me, it might for u.

Sorry not much help, hope it turns up soon xxx

You'll get RLT in any health food shop .. also high dose Vit C should induce AF ... really high dose though, 3-4x the normal daily dose.

Hi hun, I would normally take 1000mg Vit C for 3 days and bang... AF.... it is not a lethal dose you might just feel like and ORANGE after 3 days, and the cramping might be a bit stronger and you would Prob have a strong AF but it works......

Otherwise have you completed your course of Provera????? as i know Provera also never gave me AF.....

Otherwise Glass of red wine a hot bath and SEX afterwards.... It has worked for me before.

 

[genkigemini]

Is there any way your doctor would be willing prescribe Progesterone to get your cycle started? That is the only thing I know of that worked for me.

Good luck.

Good luck.

Same here also still on the Progesterone, and no problems with AF at all anymore....

 

[CareBear]

Hot bath and alcohol if not see if the doc will prescribe progestrone

 

[NeyNey]

Yeah I have to ring her by the end of the week if nothing shows....Just though there might be an old wives tale like hanging upside down from the bed while sipping aloe vera juice or something lol

thanks girls

 

[puppymom32]

Like said most health stores carry Raspberry Tea I drink it from beginning of cycle until O it has many other benefits.

 

[shorman]

I find drinking thing like normal tea or coffee helps also just realaxing in a hot bath and funnily chocolate lol it works for me!

 

[brumbar]

vit c has done the trick in the past, i've used it as a teenager to get Af early and not to worry during holidays. Another thing that helps' but you may want to check with your doctor, is the morning after pill... AF will be there 2days later. Now when i think about it.... why the hell did i waste my cash on a 'just in case' morning after pill? Well, you live and learn! Good luck hun!

 

[Lyns]

My AF was MIA for weeks after my last miscarriage. I have no idea if it was coicidence or if it helped, but 3 days after I started taking High Dose Agnus Castus....there she was.

I was also advised that Dong Quai can help.

 

[miel]

when i had sex (i said When since sex is a long distance memory for me!!!) if we did it couples day before AF was due i could be sure it bring her early ...i think the cramps i got for the big "O" kind of make her appear for me...

 

[-Linn-]

whenever i was late and not pregnant it always helped to have quite a hot bath to bring on AF... goof luck she turns up soon so u can go ahead with your treatments.

edit: just saw someone already suggested the hot bath... sorry i missed that.

 

[Megg33k]

Also on the Progesterone bandwagon. Ask for Provera. It works!

 

[noddysgirl84]

I agree with the hot bath, she always shows up for me just after!
