TTC After Loss 2011 BFP!!!

[Madrid98]

Hi!! It's so quite around here!!

Puppy I hope you're feeling better. Your experience sounds awful!

AMU I'm going to try what you said the other day to help my cycles! The supplements and all. Could you please tell me again where to buy them? Thanks

I'm waiting for af still. Not due until Monday but it may arrive earlier because I'm having cramps, bfn today and temp drop. I'll see tomorrow what happens with my temp again.

Hi Madrid! it's good to see someone breaking the long silence in here. We aren't normally this quiet. I found my original post on pg 761...

After my second loss when my cycles started to get really odd and my doctor suspected I may have PCOS, I started using a supplement called Femaprin (an Agnus Castus / Vitex blend from USA) that is used to help regulate irregular cycles. Femaprin/Vitex is a slow acting supplement that takes about 3 months to show an effect but once it does it has helped many a lady to have regular cycles and get a BFP. You should take it daily throughout your entire cycle but stop using it immediately if you get a BFP (I always tested early for this reason). Along side Femaprin I used Wheatgerm oil and fish oil capsule supplements to aid TTC. I found this "magical" concoction was being sold online by this lady that guarantees a BFP within a few months, even with PCOS. I didn't buy her plan but I took the prescribed supplements and I do think they helped. My cycles got shorter and more regular before I conceive after I started taking the supplements.

If you're interested in trying it, you should take 1 Femaprin, 1 Wheatgerm oil and 1 Fish Oil capsule daily. Femaprin is a standard dose. I bought mine off eBay from a seller in USA as it isn't sold in UK (though you can get Vitex here, just not in the same dose/blend). If anyone is interested, I have an open but mostly full bottle that I'm not likely to use now if you want it. I took Wheatgerm oil bought from Holland & Barrett (only one size) and I still take Eye-Q fish oil supplements (3 daily) though you should be able to use any high quality fish oil supplement (about 1000mg a day).

There are some special instructions to follow in addition to taking these 3 supplements once daily...
1) From about 5dpo onwards take an extra Wheatgerm oil on every second day until AF or BFP (i.e. take an extra one on 5, 7, 9, 11 & 13 DPO). This is supposed to aid implantation if you caught the eggy.
2) Stop taking the Femaprin/Vitex immediately if you get BFP (as it regulates cycles it wouldn't be helpful to carry on once you fall pregnant, though for it to work best, it's advisable to take daily until you get a BFP).
3) It is advisable to carry on taking fish oil throughout pregnancy. It is fine to carry on taking the Wheatgerm oil too (just once daily) once you get BFP though once you run out you don't need to carry on taking it unless you want to.

Madrid, if you do a search for Femaprin on eBay you will find several sellers who ship to the UK. My offer is still open to send my open bottle if anyone wants it. It seems a shame for it to go to waste. As you'll see when you look it up, it's not exactly cheap but I found it to be well worth it to get more regular cycles and eventually a BFP. As you only need 1 a day a bottle will last you 2 months. Wheatgerm oil capsules are sold by Holland and Barrett and Fish Oil can be found anywhere that sells supplements. I personally take 3 "Eye-Q" fish oil capsules a day but they are quite expensive and I don't know that it makes a big difference what brand you use. A store brand would probably be just fine for TTC purposes. If you want to use Eye-Q you can get them at Boots and Tesco and probably other big stores as well. Good luck!

Thanks AMU!!! I'm going to Asda today to pick up my daughter's lenses and I may check if they have the Wheatgerm and Fish Oils in there. If not I'll buy them on Tuesday as I think probably all the stores will be close Monday with the Bank Holiday.

I'll take on your offer for the Femaprin you have left. I'll send you a message now so we can arrange it. Thanks a lot!!!

Hi Kaede!! How are you feeling?? I saw on your FB status that you've been ill and wanted to send you get well wishes. I hope you've managed to kick whatever was ailing you. When do you start Mat Leave btw? My last day is 20 Jan. I'm packing it in early!

Hi Kaede!! How are you feeling?? I saw on your FB status that you've been ill and wanted to send you get well wishes. I hope you've managed to kick whatever was ailing you. When do you start Mat Leave btw? My last day is 20 Jan. I'm packing it in early!

I've had my last day lol. My official maternity leave starts on tuesday though. I decided to pack in early too. I want to go back to work at the beginning of the new school year, which is september. I get 9 months paid leave so I figured I just as well take it all before then lol. I know it means less time with Harri when he arrives, but honestly, I'm not sure how much longer I owuld have lasted at work anyway. Bending up and down and getting up and down from the floor with the kids was getting quite difficult with this belly haha. Also, if I spend less time alone with him it will be easier on him when I have to leave him with my family when I go back to work. I'm worried in case he gets too clingy to me and I can't leave him... as much as I would rather stay at home with him... we can't afford for that to happen so I need him to be able to stay with my family >.<

And yes, I'm feeling amuch better. I've had a horrible lingering cold that keeps seeming like it's gone but then comes back with a vengeance lol. But I think it might actually (hopefully) be going away now. Just this cough to get rid of now lol.

Hope you are doing well

Happy New Year to you all...

The year of our babies..

 

[Kaede351]

Well, Taylor had a job interview today... I really was hoping he got it, would have been a good start to the new year. But we were unlucky I'm gutted for him. And for us. I didn't want to have to go back on housing and council tax benefits

How is everybody?

XxX

 

[pip7890]

SOrry to hear about the job. Fingers crossed for next time.

I'm knackered. Old age and minimum sleep are catching up with me! Wouldn't be without Andrew though. When he gives me a gummy smile it makes it so worthwhile!

Pip x

 

[Deethehippy]

I think minimum sleep would kill any age Pip. I really feel for you sleep deprived ladies

Hope everyone is ok Sorry about Taylors job Kaede.

 

[lilrojo]

Hi everyone.. Hope your all doing well.. so quiet in her now that babies are here.. but its a good quiet..

Sorry Kaede about the job.. hope something else will come up for him that will be even better..

sorry i havent been online. I have been havng the worst week of my life. on new years eve, my husband got drunk by drinking an entire bottle of votka and went running without telling me when me and bestie found him he got violent in teh car. and he got out of the car, and followed us up the road to my house and threatened both me and my best friend. i took the kids after the police were called, and left and am living with my mom till i can get my medical and billing and coding specialist school done. bc right now without an degree or school i would not be able to suppport my kids. this is not the first time he has gotten drunk and done dangerous things that put me in a bad place. I thought he had changed but he really never had. and this was the final straw for me. I am broken depressed and overall just frustrated. It is hard to describe how I am feeling. but I appreciate the support, I am still pregnant but now just tryng to get a car of my own and this school done.

 

[Madrid98]

I'm so sorry you have to go through this 9babies! It's very difficult to live with a violent partner. I hope you'll have the strength to keep going on your own with the help and support from your family. I wonder if you can get some form of help from women's organisations. I don't know where you live. If you are in the uk I know there are many that help women on your circumstances.

I've started AMU plan of action!! lol
I've bought all the supplements I needed and she's so lovely she'll send me the vitex. As soon as I get it I'll start taking it. So far I haven't notice anything apart from the fact that I feel like I'm taking lots of capsules every day. I take the fish oil and the vitamin b6 with breakfast and the wheat germ oil in the evening.
I hope this will help me with my cycles' length at least!!
