    Thanks for your reply JLeigh

    My AF has gone from light to medium as the day progressed though I'm not feeling any AF pains whatsoever. I'm just really hormonal and tired but I've had some late nights this week so that could be a lot of the cause too...

    I haven't been to a FS before so this will be my first appointment with one. Not really sure what to expect but I'm really anxious for December now. I'm going to write down so many questions and I'm keeping record of everything I feel and all the tests I've taken including OPKs. The next few weeks are going to be a drag.

    Hi. Sorry you're having so much trouble.

    Firstly, have you tried using the symptom-thermal method of tracking your cycle? Fertility Friend is a good site to learn how, otherwise some books like those by Francesca Naish have a good explanation. I find temping reduces the guess work. If you start now, you may have a better idea of what's going on by your FS appointment.

    Secondly, you may have a hormonal imbalance. I've found acupuncture very good at sorting this out.

    Thirdly, nutrient imbalance can affect our hormones/fertility. It is worth checking your levels of zinc, magnesium, iron, vit d, c & b. a naturopath would be able to advise you better. Diet, exercise and sleep all contribute to health & fertility as well, so worth looking at.

    I hope you find some answers soon.
