Hi guys,
I dont normally post on forums, but I'm in need of some advice. Me & my partner have been trying to conceive since January. I got pregnant in April, bit unfortunately lost the baby at 8 weeks. Since June my cycle has completely changed. I chart everything as we I have had issues with my periods previously. In my teens my doctors did tests and said i had pcos but when I had a scan they said one ovary was a different size to the other... I don't really have too many symptoms since I was on the pill for most of my 20's, that sorted my irregular cycles out. These days it's just acne when I'm about to get my period, then it never really heals in time for my next cycle so it's a constant battle.... Anyway my cycle was pretty regular at around 30days. My ovulation day varied slightly so we used opk tests to make sure. My period was pretty heavy and only had spotting towards the end when it was finishing, lasted 5 days. Since my miscarriage my cycle is very different. It's been coming a week early & when it does come it's very light & then goes heavy for 1 or 2 days. So it has either shortened to 24days & changed in flow too or I have had implantation bleeding every month that turns to a period. I had implantation bleeding for 2 to 3 days when I did conceive in april, so i know what it was like then.
When I checked my cycle again last month it seemed my luteal phase in July, Aug & Sept, were shorter, so i did a bit of research & started taking vitex. Now this cycle came a week early again & was very light pink / rusty spotting for 7 days then got a little tiny bit more but still only light but changed to bright red for the last 2 days. It's stopped this morning so the last 9 days I haven't had to use tampon or pad, Just a liner & it was only really there when I wiped. I did a test this morning which was negative. I seem to have other symptoms every month too but my other half seems to think I'm over thinking it
Should i stop the vitex? Another tips?
