Late ovulation yet again

[mishi]

Hi Sarah,
I'd talk to your GP. A short LP is not ideal. You should also speak to him about the Tegratol as its not safe in pregnancy, although it can depend on the dose. You may be able to stay on a low dose and take high dose Folic Acid. But I'd definitely speak to him about it before you ttc.xx

Yeah they said tegretol is the better choice when pregnant that's why they pu me on it rather than pregablin

You should probably be on high dose Folic acid though as it is known to cause birth defects depending on the dose Hun. Don't want to scare you, just want to make sure you GP has got everything covered babes

Not sure about those ovulation tests, I did't use that make. If they detect LH and your getting strong lines then you should be acing a surge and therefore ovulating. This s why I used the digital ones fr the first month, so I could compare what the lines looked like when I got a smilie face.

I'm not sure if it helps, but the month I conceived my son, I had been using Evening Primrose Oil for the first half of my cycle and flax seed oil for the second half. It brought my ovulation forward by 2 days and hey presto I was preggers!

Ive started using it again this month so we'll see if it works second time around!

Yeah thanks guys I know risks of tegretol I'm a nurse so know all the bad bits lol know too much sometimes!! Just hope what this gynae specialist says is right that a week LP can be enough she told me her patient had a 7 day LP and had 3 kids so fx!! Mines around 9 days
