Over 40 Natural BFP with DHEA CoQ10 Vitex Black Cohosh Low AMH

Girls, I need advice...

So my first cycle after mirena has ended. It was 29 days and I O on cd19 so my Luteal phase was only 10 days long. I'll start the vitex on cd5 but don't know what dose I should take. Also I took my first BC today and it was a 540mg capsule, it's way more then the original post by notrusty suggested. Should I stop and get I smaller dose or stay with this one? I'm now on CD1. Getting hormone tests on cd3.

I'd look for smaller doses of black cohosh. I found some at Vitamin Shoppe that are 40mg. I take 3 of them but not at the same time of day.

I was taking vitex to get my cycle back after birth control. I've had 3 cycles 28/29 days. May was our first real try. I'm not taking the vitex anymore since my cycles seem good.

The vitex I was taking 2 a day if that helps. You can take it all month long.

Look for the store brand. That's the one in 40mg.

That's great! We can be cycle buddies. I really hope I fall pregnant soon. I'm getting anxious!

Yes! And we started to try on the same month as well, the only difference you are 10 years younger, lol your baby bump will come soon I'm sure

I'm so anxious myself! I fell ridiculous at times. This is so emotional! The other night I had a dream I FOUND a baby!

It looks like we also both have 2 daughters. I'll be 35 in November so not quite 10 years difference.

Did you find the black cohosh in the right dosage?

 

[BBbliss]

I also have a November bday! I'll be 44

I found the 40mg but I kept the higher dose one as well, since it was open. This is basically the first time in over 10 years I have AF and last month I suffered horrible cramps and migraine. Not only on my AF days but then again mid C before O for about 4 days. I have read BC will help with that. I'm staying with the higher dose for my AF days and then going to the lower one as soon as AF is done. I'll see how that works for me for severe cramping. I don't want to spend days in bed again
So far so good... Tomorrow is my big blood work day :/

I'm on second cycle of bc and I'm getting very strong pains in ovaries. It's only cd7 for me so just concerned about early ovulation so started opking....there's a slight line but not positive yet. I also added red clover blossom capsules from cd5 but thinking of cutting this out as maybe that combined with bc is causing these pains. Or it could be lots of lovely follicles jostling for position getting ready to pop big healthy egg or even better eggs !!!!!

Make sure BC is standardized, I used 60 mg 2x/day, 2.5% tirpentides, Study also used 120 mg cd 1-12

Thank you nutrustyet, so much info to take in, but I feel better now that I'm starting to understand what it what.

Good luck on your delivery. I hope you have a beautiful an magical day when your little girl arrives. Let us know how it goes

Notrustyet Congrats on being a MOM!!!!

Question for you.

I'm starting Clomid next month. Should I discontinue BC or Vitex?

120mg

My ones come in 40g tablets and I have tried to space them out throughout day. This cycle I have had intermittent pain coming from both ovaries. It's really uncomfortable. Have you girls felt anything in your ovary area since taking bc?

 

[Solstyce]

I started taking the black cohosh on CD 1. Today is CD 4. I have had more cramping than usual and today I did feel some soreness/ cramps in my ovaries. I take the 40mg 3 times a day too.

 

[Blythe]

I'm finding it very uncomfortable. I noticed it last cycle but it was nothing like this. FX it's doing something exciting.

 

[Solstyce]

I'm sorry you're uncomfortable. It's only mild for me. I usually have little to no cramps during AF so this isn't much of an increase. I read that black cohosh can get rid of fibroids. I don't know if I have fibroids now but I had one when I was pregnant with DD 2 over 8 years ago.

 

[BBbliss]

I had the opposite, last month I was in bed with severe cramps, it was my first AF in a decade, this month, NO pain at all! I want to say it was partly my body starting to readjust but maybe the Black cohosh also helped, I read somewhere its used for menstrual cramps. I did take higher dose by mistake on first day and stayed with it in fear of the cramps. I'm only afraid to go to a small dose tomorrow and set of a premature ovulation... I'm almost staying with the high dose for this cycle.

Blythe, I do hope what you are feeling is your ovaries feeling stimulated for optimum release. Fingers crossed!

 

[Blythe]

Thanks girls. My ovaries were waking me up last night. They were throbbing with pain. I'm worried the bc may not agree with me this month so im going how I feel this morning before I take anymore although I've done 9 days. Ouch!!!

 

[Blythe]

Have decided to keep going to cd12 as have a profuse amount of ewcm which is a great thing for me and maybe to do with the bc
