BFP today!!!!! 12DPO & not a single symptom

[Darily]

OH MY GOD . . . . .

I am soooooooooo excited.

Just wanted to tell everyone in the TWW at the moment that I have had absolutely no symptoms at all, and I thought I was out of the race a few days ago. I just thought that if I didn't feel in any way different, how could all that magic be happening inside me?

So many ladies say they somehow felt 'different', or had sore BB's and their temps sky rocketed, but I am living proof that you don't need to feel ANYTHING to get that BFP! My temps have been 36.8 and 36.9 since O, and still are, so if anyone is doubtful just because their temps are stable, DON'T BE

And I'm one of these people that looks for every little ache and pain, any little clue of symptom to convince myself I'm pregnant, but I honestly felt nothing.

This is our 2nd month of TTC where we got the BDing right, and the only thing I did different from last month was I started on Vitex, Vitamin B6 and drank a cup of green tea every day. Not sure if any of those things helped out, but they were worth a try to me.

WOW, the last 5 hours have been AMAZING. I need to lie down!

Chasteberry (Vitex) is probably the most well-known and widely studied "fertility herb". Vitex can be found in fertility supplements like FertilAid for Women or in tincture form. Vitex - or vitex agnus castus - is recognized for stimulating the hormones involved in ovulation and restoring female hormonal balance. It may normalize pituitary function and the balance of progesterone and estrogen levels. Vitex is used as an herbal treatment for infertility and is especially helpful for women with irregular cycles, anovulation, or a short luteal phase (a short 2nd half of the menstrual cycle).

Thanks Soul...

[Darily]

Thanks for the well wishes everyone!

I found out about Vitex and combining it Vitamin B6 within these TTC threads, and went out to buy some from the chemist the very next day.

I started taking 2 Vitex 660mg tablets every morning, with 1 Vitaming B6 tablet and 1 Folate tablet on 25th August, and got my BFP on 14th September. I have read however that the effect of these supplements can take up to 3 months to be noticed (in terms of regulating your cycle), but others swear it worked for them quicker than that.

I also gave Pre seed a go this cycle, so maybe that was the magic ingredient?? I just found that I didn't produce what I would consider a lot of EWCM, and apparently Pre seed provides exactly the same environment as EWCM to allow sperm to live as long as possible, whilst also making it a little more comfy when BDing night after night.

Thanks Darily, that sounds like just what I need.... Have only been charting for two months now so not really seeing a pattern yet, but I find it difficult to tell when (and if) I O because I don't think I get EWCM?? Just watery... I'll give vitex a go. What is the vitamin B6 for??

[~breeze~]

CONGRATS!! Thats great... wishing you a very happy & healthy pregnancy

CONGRATULATIONS

[Heaven]

Congratulations. I have just started taking Vitex this cycle too! Hope I get the same result as you!! Well done!!

[runnermum]

contratulations darily!
I am now curious about Vitex and started to google it. on essential baby some have said 'no, don't use it'. I have been TTC #2 for 2 years now....and have produced great embyos, no sperm problem and the only thing I can think of is that there is an implantation problem.....I think FS has tested progrestorone in the past however, and it was OK...

Would be interested to hear what others think of this product/herb..
anyway, sorry for raving.....I am so happy for you....I

darily, just out of interest have you started getting any symptoms since your BFP?
