Gutted :(

AF came 3 days late and although I thought we wouldn't fall pregnant this month I was still holding out hope. I had a 29 day cycle last month, it's been 38 days long this month, why is it so irregular? I've been having a lot of abdominal pain as well this month. Would evening primrose oil cause this much inconsistency in my cycle as I took it all month last month and stopped after OV this month. I've been at the same stress level between months as well so that's not different. I've been off BC over 18 months so surely it should be out of my system by now? We are now on 15th month of TTC.

Would any supplements help? I'm so sick of being infertile

So sorry its taking so Iong. I had a period 3..days later then expected this month. It kind of makes you feel like there's hope and then WHAM your dreams go down the loo. So to speak.
I'm not sure about the primrose oil as I've only just started ttc. Have you sought medical advice ? My SiS used Clomid with all of her kids .

I take the pregnacare supplements. There's a full spectrum one that you can take before and during pregnancy. It might help as its suppose to help put your body in tip top conditions. There's also advice about cutting out smoking alcohol caffeine and even certain foods !!

I think they reccomened a slight alkaline diet. As the vagina can be acidic and kill his little soldiers . The little fellas prefer alkaline environment. Might be worth a try. There is some diet sheets I. Google etc. Also maybe it's the husband?? Is he keeping his billiard balls cool ? Also what he eats could impact on sperm quality. There's heaps of resesrh if you Google it you may be able to devise a list of foods etc. However you run therisk of conceiving becoming a full time job. Making the baby is suppose to be fun

Thanks for the replies. I will think about googling but I spend so much time on there already :/ if I don't get back into a regular cycle next month I think I will book an appointment to discuss my cycles

Hey hunny
I'm so sorry your feeling so down, it's so crap when AF arrives especially when she comes late

I've joined you today so let's make it our cycle! And get some January Bfps

xxxxxxxx

So sorry about AF Broody.
I started taking supplements in August (viridian pro-conception Fertility for Women) and I also started taking a pro biotic for vaginal health (Fem Dophilus). I'm not sure if it's just luck, or I am less stressed or the increased sex time, or the introduction of the supplements and pro biotic, or a combination of everything but since Aug I've now had 3 bfps. 2 I lost early.
If I didn't fall this month I was looking into having acupuncture from a fertility specialist and I was going to buy the Zita West cookbook and change my diet to that. I felt having something to focus on like that helped keep me busy too.

Good luck honey xxx

I hope you get your bfp soon- I'm so sorry it's been so long. Have you tried Conceive Plus or Preseed? Also maybe try to take a few days holiday together to relax and try to organise lots of things that stop you thinking about it. When I was ttc I got very stressed about it and couldn't think about anything else, but having a bit of a break really helped and that was the month I got pregnant. Good luck xx
