Welcome August! Sorry the depo messed you up. Hormonal birth control sucks! CD1 is always first day of proper flow. If flow starts in the evening most count the next day as CD1. Spotting is often not a problem depending on how heavy it is and just how many days after O is starts. Usually you should give anything at least 3 months to see a difference. Do you do any exercise at all? I have noticed a few times (not on this trend) that often beginning light regular exercise can help balance the hormones. I would consider starting a straight b100 complex when you other run out and see if this has an affect. Can you link you chart so we can see it.
Also have you thought about trying natural progesterone? I do think we all try and fix too much in a desperation to be pregnant when actually time is all that is needed. However, I started B100, vitex (AC) and natural progesterone all in one cycle and from that cycle I saw a change. I didn't use the progesterone after that but something definitely shifted. With the cycle I used the progesterone I had loads of PMS/pregnancy symptoms. After doing some reading I found out that this was because of an up regulation of my oestrogen receptor which had become redundant. I do wonder whether this is what kick started my system again.
I used Emerita Progest. You use it from after confirmed O. If you get your BFP you have to continue it until at least week 12.
Hi Bean
Many thanks for replying to my post, you've definitely got me thinking about a few things....... If you wouldn't mind looking at my ovulation chart that would be great, https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/3c27ab
This is my 4th cycle at charting so I've shown the first chart and the latest chart. I was taking Vit B and Agnus Castus back in February and this cycle was different to the other 3. I could be really wrong here but a few days after ovulation I felt sickly, sore, tired, general pregnancy symtoms (possibly too early). My temp dipped which I was convinced was due to implantation, rose again and then dipped closely followed by AF (a lovely "M" shape although no idea what it means!). I'm wondering if something did happen this time but the egg just didn't stick. The 3 charts after this don't resemble this at all, started spotting earlier and I haven't had any other early physical symptoms that may indicate pregnancy, my temp in the latest 3 rises then usually starts to drop from day 4 onwards. Funnily enough I stopped the agnus castus after the cycle in February so it probably is a very good idea to try taking the combination again and see if it has an effect next month. I started using progesterone cream last month and I do no exercise at all - thanks for that advice, may have to force myself to be more active!!!
I'm still spotting and this is 10DPO which is a slight improvement on the previous 2 months, temp slowly dropping though so expecting AF any time now.....
Thanks again for replying. Hope you're feeling well, I had such an easy pregnancy with my son. He's my life and I love being a mummy so much; can't wait to do it again (one day!
)
. Will let you know tomorrow what my GP says.....
my cramps are horrible i just want to cry. Plus found out a friend is pregnant again after just having her one child that is I believe 6 months. This will be her 3rd. I am happy for her just doesn't feel fair!
