    One does not simply... get pregnant

    It took ages to convince DH to take any supplement- he won't even take something like olive leaf if he's sick.

    Can you take royal jelly while BF? Might get onto it this time around.

    With the endo, if you haven't had a lap in more than 12 months and are serious about wanting to TTC, I'd consider a lap. Even after 6 months I had some re-growth (thankfully not much). I'm not saying leap into one now, but if you get to 6 months of TTC you might want to think more about it.

    The reason OPKs aren't recommended for ladies with PCOS is because the PCOS can cause you to have elevated LH levels all cycle. Some PCOS ladies don't seem to have the elevated LH levels and the OPKs work fine. I'm not sure if the elevated LH is linked to annov cycles or not?

    Unfortunately, if you want to know if you're O'ing the only way is the temps. You could do just one cycle to find out if you are or not? Also, my acupuncturist always wants to see my BBT chart when I go to my appt, so be prepared for yours to raise the subject. I started acupuncture after 3 failed IVF and got our first ever BFP (chem pg) with just acu and herbs. I also did acu during the IVF that gave us DD and I got another BFP (mm/c) in 2011 with just acu. I've never had a BFP when I haven't been doing acu, so I think it's great!

    Be wary of vitex, it's not without its risks and is not for everyone.

    I'm with N2L on the CoQ10 though.
