Hello ladies!
Nell: Glad to hear the second round (or first round, depending on which way you look at it was better. If it is a thin lining issue, is there anything they can give you to boost it? Have you still got your Clomid to cash in -that might do it, right? After all, it starves the body of estrogen and once the course is finished your body works double hard to catch up - producing more follicles and building up the lining? Am sure you've thought this all through though. Good luck for round three
Islandgirl - Good luck with your next round of investigations
Pookabear - Welcome! Interesting you say that you didn't get a bit of spotting when on Clomid - mine didn't improve at all! I have ruled out progesterone issues though - had mine tested a while ago and, even though the spotting had started with a bang, the levels were really high. I actually entertained the thought I might be pregnant for a little while
Yum - I hope you have a relaxing break away and that your Mum starts to feel better. Perhaps the R&R will do you good?
Lala79 - Truth is, I don't know! Have had so many 'what should I do' moments on this journey and still have no clear answers! What i would say is that the Vitex shouldn't theoretically interfere - e.g. if your progesterone is good then you know it's working/you would have had a high result on your own, if bad then you know it's not the best choice for you?
As for me - been having EWCM since Monday but totally thought it was a false alarm because this is a natural (Clomid free) cycle and I normally ovulate on my own around cd25. But low and behold, nearly positive OPK yesterday (cd16) and smiley face today - cd 17! That matches my Clomid cycles! DH and I are trying a different strategy this month - we're really going for it! DTD this morning (first EVER time we've had a morning shag, in the 8 years we've been together!), DTD tonight, then tomorrow morning, tomorrow night, Sunday morning, Sunday night! I'm already feeling a little sore this morning so the Preseed's coming out! Sorry - this is hugely TMI isn't it!!
Good luck all xx
