Krissy, what is the baby asprin for? I have heard you gals mention it before but never figured out what it is good for? Thanks ↑
Hey Ladies! I'm new to this so I was wonderin if I could join in? Today is the 2nd day of my af so I believe thats cd2 right? I have low progesterone and high prolactin so I've done some research and heard lots of success about chasteberry and the prog cream - How long have you been doing that Krissy ? Thanks for any info and lots of baby dust for BFP! ↑

Krissy- why do you take some many things? What are they for. Well I wish I could say that I'm cd1 or 2 or 3 or 4. lol But I can't because AF is late. and BFN so I'm just waiting for AF to show up some day. lol ↑

Lillybug - how late are you?? I am thinking this is good news!!!! ↑
Name: lillybug | Date: Jul 9th, 2008 2:22 PM
Today I am four days late. I'm naucious and I usually never get naucious, I'm not sick so I kow its not that. Thats the only sign I have. I have a negative test yesterday and it makes me doubt. But maybe I ovulated late or not at all. who knows ↑

SamanthaJ - How long have I been doing what. If you are talking about the treatment plan the dr put me this is the first cycle that I have all of my meds. Lots of baby dust to you as well.
lillybug - I really don't take a lot of things the dr gave me the clomid cd 3-7 the estrodoil cd 8-12 and the progesterone gel starting on cd 17 I just added the pre nat vit because I need to be taking vits anyway and the baby asprin is suppose to help with the lining and I keep taking this along with the progesterone gel until I get pg of AF show up and the robintussin cd 10-18 that helpd with my dry cm because the clomid and the estrodoil dried me up big time last month. Of course I have to use the opk to see when I will ovulate. I hope this explains what I am doing. Are you going to test again? Krissy68 ↑
Name: momtoaandk | Date: Jul 9th, 2008 4:28 PM
KRISSY-how much robitussin are you suppose to take, like a regular dose or less? ↑
Name: momtoaandk | Date: Jul 9th, 2008 4:29 PM
Oh and can you take the baby aspirin even if you are not on fertility drugs? I mean, will it do the same thing without clomid? ↑
Name: momtoaandk | Date: Jul 9th, 2008 4:31 PM
I have heard that Evening Primrose Oil works better than robitussin for your cm, so you could try that instead....I think I am going to here when I get closer to O day, about a week before, but I am not suppose to O for like another 2 and 1/2 weeks or so. ↑
Name: lillybug | Date: Jul 9th, 2008 4:32 PM
I just bought some test today so I might keep testing! lol Krissy- I thought you were taking them on your on, I did word my last question to you right, lol sorry. how long did it take for your doctor to put you on Clomid? ↑
Name: momtoaandk | Date: Jul 9th, 2008 4:32 PM
Samantha- I am also on chasteberry along with a low dose of red clover, I want to add in some EPO as well. ↑
Name: gurinsa | Date: Jul 10th, 2008 1:51 PM
Hi girls. Just checking in. Today is cd 6 and I am just pluggin away. Counting down the days until I can start opk's. Last month, I didn't get a positive opk until cd 15 so it looks like I have a whole nother week to wait! And then 2 weeks after that! It just seems so long. Glad I have you guys to keep it interesting. Good luck to us all!!!!!!!!!!!! ↑
Name: Krissy68 | Date: Jul 10th, 2008 4:31 PM
momtoaandk - I take 2tsp 2 times a day and it helps me with my cm not sure if you are suppose to take more or not I know a lot of the ladies take the municex pill. I didn't want to do that cause I am taking too many pills now and I hate swallowing all of them pills baby asprin/ prenat vit/ clomid/ estrodoil. LOL. I guess you can take the baby asprin wehter you are on clomid or not I have taken it and not being on the clomid it will not hurt anything I don't think.
lillybug - Okay ask me the question again. I went to see my dr in Jun and he gave me a 4 months supply of all 3 of my meds. I did do 2 cycles of u/p clomid. Have you tested?
gurinsa - Well u know me and you are cycle buddies again. Last cycle I o'ed on cd 13 so this cycle starting on cd 10 I am going to start using my opk test strip I have a bunch of them. I will be finishing up my clomid tomorrow and then on saturday I will be taking the estrodoil for 5 days. Talk to you soon. Krissy68 ↑

Hey gals! Final day of af (hopefully for 9 months this time!) momtoaandk - how long have you been on the chasteberry and does it help with what you take it for ? I heard it helped w/ prog and prolactin & ovulation as well : all reasons i need to take it! Krissy - I too am wondering how much robitussin to take ? I have some I just haven't started yet
lillybug - congrats on being late let us know how it goes an early BFP is just what we need to kick us in the right direction! gurinsa & everyone - how long do your cycles range and how long have you been ttc? Baby dust :) ↑

Thanks Krissy! Samantha-I have just started taking it this month and it helped bring on my 40 cd period and it also has made my period shorter and less cramps, my boobs are getting bigger and my skin is clearing up! I cant believe it, if it is all from the vitex/chasteberry, then awesome! You can take it through your whole cycle, it balances everything out, hormonal wise, BUT you MUST NOT take it if you are on clomid or anything like clomid because they will cancel eachother out, or so I have read. I am hoping that is will shorten up my cycle and make me O earlier, my average cycle is 34 days, and I dont O till like cd 18-20 or something like that, so I am hoping it works for me! I've only been at this ttc thing for 3 months, well more like 2, first month was kind of messed up, month 2, we missed O day, and last month I had a ruptured cyst that totally wreaked havoc on my whole cycle, so I havent really had the chance to even "try" I guess, lol! Babydust girls, lots and lots!!!! ↑
Name: SamanthaJ | Date: Jul 11th, 2008 6:53 AM
momtoaandk - Thats so good to hear a personal experience w/ it! I've been beating around the bush as to whether to get it or not..what brand and mg do you take if you dont mind me asking? So- I've decided to try to take my vitamins more regularly this month (I'm so busy and i forget its awful i know) and try robitussin 6 days before "estimated" ovulation and use my opk's. I really want this to happen for us, i feel so stupid every month it doesnt happen esp when I think I have symptoms! I've been "unprotected" for over a year and nothing has happened..I wouldn't say we have been trying that long but then at the same time we weren't preventing yanno? Anyways - I should stop writing this novel and go take a shower.. have fun guys lots of baby dust :D ↑

MOMTOAANDK----- what did you take to bring on a 40 cd???? (period) I'm on cycle day 38!!! Af is six days late already. I didn't test today because I don't want to see a BFN, so I might test tomorrow. where do you get what you are taking? Anyway to all the others - I usually have a cycle between 28-32 day long. Last cycle however my period skipped three months before coming when I took Provera to bring it on. My boobs don't hurt but they itch alot. my nipples are a little bigger and definetly darker. I'm having mild cramping. I've been constipated for three days now. and I get naucious every day and mostly at night. ↑

how is everyone....Dont let me be the only one with a BFP!!! Dont give up ladies! ↑
Name: Krissy68 | Date: Jul 11th, 2008 4:11 PM
gurinsa - When are you going to start using your opk test strip? I'm going to start mines on Monday cd 10 and keep testing until I get a BFP and then when I see a BFN I will stop so I think I will test anywhere between 5 to10 days.
SarahBethT- How are you feeling? It's too early for me I am only on cd 7 and I just got finish taking my last clomid then onto estrodoil for the next 5 days 8-12 will start the opk test on cd 10. I will keep you posted. Krissy68 ↑

Its called Vitex and/or chasteberry tree, it is awesome stuff! I bought it at Vitamin World and I take 1600mg per day, 2 capsules twice a day. I started taking it as directed and within 2 days I finally got my period after it being all whacked out from that ruptured cyst. I can feel that it is working! It is the main ingredient in this stuff called FertilAid, and the people's testimonials on it are amazing! Just the Vitex by itself can do wonders for us women who are hormonally challenged, lol! Anywho, google it and you will come up with quite a few things on it. Some good sites to look at too are sisterzuess.com and susun weed, she is an herbal wise women and knows a lot about fertility herbs. Also there is this site called tryingtoconceive.com, and they have a ttc store for all the herbal supplements as well. I want us all to get our BFPs! I have this feeling for myself this month that things just might work out, its just a hunch, a gut feeling, but I know it is good to stick to your gut feelings, so, we will see! Babydust, lots and lots of sticky sticky sparkly babydust to you all!!!! ↑
Name: SamanthaJ | Date: Jul 12th, 2008 10:50 AM
I'm glad you feel this is your month. I hope its everyones month (wouldn't THAT be crazy?!) - I get those feelings usually after ovulation and i think i've covered all my bases. Somehow I am always wrong ?
Lillybug - have you taken a test yet?! I'm dying to know if you got your BFP!
Anywho - Where is everyone from? I'm from the US but I'm currently living in Canada. Take care and lots of baby dust

Update on me - I haven't tested yet. I was going to this morning but never got to it. I actully forgo about it. Well Today was my Cousin wife's baby shower and this lady who hasn't seen me in year rubbed my stomach and said I was pregnant. I started to cry because I really want that to be true. lol I'm very hormonal these few days and my moods are swinging like crazy. Thanks for the infor on the Vitex!!!!!!!!! I will so look into it. Af is still not here. I'm upset because I just want a normal cycles! I'm tired of going on with these long cycles. I will make an appointment soon with my doctor, lets see what happens. I will be tested this week I just don't know when. I hope all are doing ok! ↑
Name: momtoaandk | Date: Jul 12th, 2008 11:59 PM
Lilly-btw you can also safely take vitex into your first trimester to prevent m/c, but after first tri. it is recommened not to take it because it can cause your milk to come in, weird huh? ↑
Name: momtoaandk | Date: Jul 13th, 2008 12:00 AM
I think that you gals should look into this product called FertilAid, it just might bring your BFPs faster, read the testimonials, they are incredible! ↑
