Morning everyone

Had ANOTHER Dr's appt this morning to discuss latest set of blood tests.

Good news is: all hormones levels are back to normal :T woooo! Although testosterone is still *very slightly* above the normal range. So, the last two months of low-carb diet and exercise are having the intended effect and hopefully (fingers crossed!) that means that I am ovulating again and that I should be back to normal(ish) cycles. We will wait and see Expect AF to turn up next Wednesday, so will test next Friday if nothing has appeared. I guess that means I'm in the 2ww, having managed to BD on CD11, CD12, CD13, CD18 (twice!) and CD19. I suspect ov on CD22 so hopefully *just* caught it!

Bad news is: normal hormone results didn't help my case with the Dr about PCOS. However, after a while he did concede that maybe I might have very mild PCOS, and that certainly I should act as if I do (i.e. low-carb/low-gi diet and exercise) and he did suggest that I think about metformin if I really struggle with the weight loss. But the end result is that I now have to TTC for a year before he'll do anything else. So no more Dr appt's or nasty tests for me unless either a) I get a sticky bean or b) it's been a year with no luck.

I got a slightly darker line on the OPK, and I can feel the start of ovulation pains that I normally get - so I think I will actually ovulate soon! It just looks like this one is just going to be a longer cycle. I think I might get some of the agnus castus to regulate them - I've read such good things from your girls - where do you buy it?

So on my my TTC list for next month - I'm going to be trying agnus castus, grapefruit juice and get some hypno/chill out CD as the stress is affecting my cycle.

Wooo for the ov-ing 2b! I bought my agnus castus from Holland & Barrett as well, it was also buy one get one half price when I got it. I've been taking it twice a day and it seems to have helped, although most people say it takes a few months for the effects to really kick in. Grapefruit juice, blurgh! Stress-wise I'd definitely recommend a really nice bubbly bath, with some good essential oils (lavender etc) and maybe a nice massage from your DW Good luck and fingers crossed you manage to catch it!

Congrats Cleomolly!! (If you're reading this ) and LOL at QQ for [STRIKE]stalking[/STRIKE] happening to notice the temping chart!

PMA for today - I went to the gym last night so I allowed myself two Hotel Chocolat choccies for the first time in months and months. I want more choccies so am going to go back to the gym again this eve

Mmm chocolate. *dribbles*

I love chocolate, it is my biggest vice now! Thankfully WW make these chocolate bars calls 'cookie bars' and they are seriously SO delish, and only one point! Woo!

I also missed another BFP, congratualtions Cleomolly!

scarly - I am showing DW what you said and demanding a massage!! hehehe! Thank you though, I've sent her to H&B (thanks to emsbet too!)to get me some, as she happens to be near one right now (oh and some grapefruit juice!)

Are you supposed to start taking agnus and drinking the grapefruit juice on certain days?

Goppers, I want stalking too! Although, er, I dont have an FF account. Actually, thats something else to add to my list, I am going to temp too! If I am going to do this properly, then I am going to go ALL out!

I my DW, she just said she has a feeling it will happen before we know it. *insert forever hopeful smilie* - I have faith, when its meant to be, it's meant to be. Must keep reminding self of that - and you know what - I like hanging out with you lot!

As I understand it, you should start taking agnus on CD1 and stop taking it when you ov (although the instructions on the bottle DON'T say this, so I carried on a few days past when I think I ov'd, oops) because apparently it's not v. good once you're pregnant.

From what other lovely ladies have been saying, drink grapefruit juice from about CD7, again until ov and then stop.

Phew I'm glad for OPKs and temping, how on earth would we be able to tell when we ov'd otherwise and stop taking all these things??

Oh, and I always demand a massage from my DH, particularly if it's been a stressful day and we're going to BD helps to both chill me and heat me up, if you see what I mean :rotfl:

Yeah that sounds about right.
The bottle of Angus Castus I have says not to take during pregnancy so I stop after ov.

I start drinking grapefruit juice sometime after CD1 until ov as I think the thing about it that makes it good for EWCM is not so good when pg.
