baby making on hold :(

[babyg]

Hey girls hope you are all ok today

me and bf have been talking as i have been very worried bout how my body is working atm and we have both decided to put baby making on hold until after xmas

i think its very important that i find out what is going on with my cycles first. i have been spotting before af and this is of course shortening my luthal phase although i am not sure what cd i am ov. but spotting can be a sign low progesterone and this can lead to miscarriages i have also had a lack of cm too

i have decided that before i go gp i want some proper information for them so they cant just turn me away telling me to come back again once i have found out when (if) im ov sssooooo my plan for the next two months is to do opk's and temps so i can find out more for myself and gp.

i am also going to take epo (for my whole cycles seeing as im not ttc), vit B6 and B12 50mg each (i read somewhere that you are suppose to take equal amounts of B6 and B12??, someone correct me if i am wrong??)

so will be going to gp after xmas with as much info bout my cycles as possible, they may well have sorted themselves out by then anyway fx.

it would have been the best xmas present ever to get our bfp before then but i want to make sure i am in perfect working order before we start trying again.

anyway i hope to seee lots and lots and lots of BFP's before xmas for all the lovely ladies in TTC.

thanks for the advice you have given me so far

fx for you all

babyg, kudos to you on making such a difficult decision! I am sure everything will turn out perfect at the end of it...

Even I have the same two problems - (1) lack of EWCM (2) light spotting before AF.

With regards to (1), EPO has helped me tremendously!! And carrots and grapefruit juice are also helping. Abt (2), I started taking b6 recently and I think it has increased my LP from 11 to 12 days. I still have spotting - for a short while 2 days before AF, nothing the day after and on the 3rd day AF arrives in full speed. However, charting has helped me here to figure out when exactly my periods start - I now know for sure that its on the day AF arrives (and not on the day of spotting as my temp. is high until that day). As I started taking b6 just a month ago, I am hoping in my next cycle the spotting will disappear...

I plan to start TTC only from Dec (not because of these 2 problems though). Hoping my body will be all set by then. I would recommend taking vitamin b50 (the one from holland and barrett) - the smallest dose to begin with (it has 50mg of b6, some b12 and also 400micro-g folic acid).

Good luck to you!! I am sure charting your BBT will make you more confident and ready to tackle problems, if any!

P.S: Please ignore the structured response... have been writing too many legal essays nowadays

a simple 21day blood test will tell you if your short leutal phase and spotting is progesterone related. I'm going for my blood test this week. i have been tryign for 5 cycles but i told gp 6-7 - bad i know - she said i should have come as soon as noticed pattern in my charts as its easily sorted. how many cycles of charts do you have???

Well I've been taking notes of when spotting and af starts since august but have not monitered when I'm ov yet.
Did try doin opks in sept but never got a pos one and they stressed me out so gave up on them
So goin to monitor temps and do opks now so I know what's goin on a bit more, hopefully they will work out for me
