So I've never encountered this in my own chart before, and I'm just looking for possibilities of what might be going on (I have my own theories), but I have a spiky, gradually increasing chart this cycle for whatever reason. I don't have access to TCOYF at the moment, and Google tells me that it's possibly I'm having a slow temperature rise after ( Read more... )

So... my new doc has me trying out Prometrium (an oral progesterone supplement) for the next couple of cycles to see if it helps with my migraine/menstrual pain/short luteal phase issues. 100mg for days 5-15, and 200mg for days 16-27 (I normally ovulate on day 16 or 17). She says this should not interfere with my ovulating at such a low dose, but I ( Read more... )

Not sure if this would be the place to ask this, but has anyone here had success using vitamin B6 to correct a luteal phase defect? Anyone else have this problem? Mine has only been around 9 or 10 days long, this past cycle it was only 8 days.

I'm recovering from my second miscarriage this year. The suspicion is low progesterone but as I hate doctors, I didn't go through testing (yet). I'd rather see our homeopath and continue with my homebirth midwife anyway ( Read more... )

Has anyone here experimented with light therapy or darkness therapy for cycle regulation, or noticed cycle regulation as a side-effect when using one of those therapies for something else (e.g. light therapy for SAD)? I use a bright light box every morning for sleep disorders, and am interested in pursuing this school of thought further, as I have ( Read more... )

Last week I started a new exercise regimen.  For the last several months, I've ovulated regularly on day 17/18 with fertile signs showing up around CD 14.  I'm on CD 17 now and only just started getting fertile CF, but my temps are still all over the place.  I know a lot can shift around an O-date, so I'm just wondering if exercise might be making ( Read more... )

Hi there,

I'm not TTC just yet, I guess you could say we're pre-TTC at the moment; which means I'm taking prenatals and trying to get myself as ready as I can be for pregnancy.

A little over a month ago I looked at my chart and realized that though my cycles were a good length (around 32 days), my luteal phase seemed kind of short; at an ( Read more... )

So, this is my first cycle charting in about a year, and when I charted about a year ago, I only charted one or two cycles, the records of which I don't currently have access to. And, unfortunately, I don't have this chart electronically, so, I beesech your help with a logic game ( Read more... )

My husband and I are talking about TTC in the next few months. Since my LP is usually 7-9 days, I'm looking into what I can use/take to try to lengthen it before going to a specialist. Right now I am already taking ( Read more... )

Well, my gynae's taking me off the progestogen (Cerazette/desogestrel) for the PMS as it doesn't seem to be doing me any good. She sounded worryingly like she's not going to try any other treatment on me, though she's going to consult my GP to weigh up the risks of putting me on cyclical Prozac ( Read more... )
