Hello, everyone. Hope all are doing good and things are going well for everyone.
Currently, CD12. no hint of flashing smiley on opk. Last 2 months it went from no smiley to solid smiley and my cycles were 24/25 days. Had my ob do labs which im waiting on. I am thinking low estrogen. Im 39, dont sleep throughout the night well, and i read on cbe site the flashing smiley detects the rise in estrogen and the solid detect the lh rise. Ill find out on the 22nd. Meanwhile, i normally O on cd14/15 so im gonna bd starting today anyway.
I read vitex (chasteberry) can help with estrogen. Has anyone taken it? If my results come back low, i was thinking natural instead of prescriptions.

@kelliria - I'm taking Vitex and I've been taking it for about 3 months so far. I had really short periods and the dr. said my lining sucked (not her clinical terms lol). The Vitex has improved that, increasing my AF from 2 days light to 4 days and much heavier. Now, I had my estrogen tested on CD3 and it was low, but in the normal limits. I'm thinking the Vitex is working, and I have no side effects from it, so why not? I take it at night.

Thank you, @calvingirl. My clearblue easy opk was negative yesterday and a solid peak today. Never got a flashing smiley this month either. My periods have always been very light. 3 days in length lately. Clomid can also cause lining to thin. I did get to bd today but we have been the last 5 months; the days leading up to and on O. I have 2 more rounds of clomid if this month doesnt work. I read not to take the 2 together. (Clomid and vitex) So if the clomid doesnt work or if my dr says hormone tests are off, ill ask about vitex and stop clomid. You're right, as long as you are not having side affects, why not? It's overall good for female reproduction. That's why i was wondering about it. It keeps popping up for hormone balance and i thought id try that before more prescriptions.
Have a great day everyone. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Oh, no, @shanta77. What doseage did they put you on? Im on 50mg. I used it 3 yrs ago and was successful so my dr said it would be fine this time. This is 4th month of clomid and figured he would have upped it to 100mg.

I'm supposed to be on 100 for 5 days but they gave me 50 milligrams for 5 days

Well, i would have taken 2 and called my dr to call in another 5 pills so you could have your 100mgs a day. I know how the feeling goes. Like you wasted another month and you havent even started. I conceived my daughter on 50mg. 6th month. My dr hasnt checked follies or did progesterone check at cd23 this time. Been on it 4 months. I requested my own hormone tests and he said that 50 will be fine cause it worked last time. My question to him: how do you know my hormones haven't changed? I am 39.
Let me know what they say. Have you been taking clomid? If so, which round is this for you?

@muslimahmumma CM and CP isn’t very reliable (per doctor) What brands of opks have you tried? I understand breastfeeding and TTC, that’s one reason temping didn’t work well for me. I used Babi opk and it works great, test twice a day one around 10 am and again around 7/8 pm.
@Kelliria I hope you get the answers you are looking for to help get you on your road for better ttc.
@shanta77 sorry you are in a bad mood I hate when meds are the wrong prescription.
