Bekz - I have been using Vitex and Vitamin B since just before my 2nd pregnancy. It has not lengthened my cycle nor seemingly changed it in anyway but I have managed to fall pregnant twice in less than 18 months compared to once in 8.5 years when I wasn't using it (was with a different partner back then too).

Flowerchild - My GP did not test my progesterone levels but seeing that I always get spotting before my AF I think I probably do have a problem with my progesterone levels but testing that's been done so far has not shown this. Mind you I've never had my progesterone level checked whilst pregnant because I just haven't stayed pregnant long enough to get it tested.

I have not been tested for clotting disorders. It is possible that I could have some hereditary thing I guess. Two aunts on my dad's side ended up adopting due to infertility & secondary infertility but I'm not sure if they had m/c's and my dad is on some kind of drug to keep his blood OK. My LP is generally 11-12 days - that's why I'm thinking progesterone may help me. I was put on clomid a decade ago but I did not conceive on it.... but did 3 months after I went off it. I tested positive on CD28 of that cycle and bled for two weeks from that day.

The gyno I saw recently is just telling me to get my lap done then head straight for IVF and I don't see why I should be doing this when I can conceive, I just can't keep them. At my age (41) I know the odds are only 50/50 but I don't want to go and have expensive testing and treatment done if something as simple as progesterone is all I need.

He has ordered the following tests which I am yet to have done:
blood group RH & antibodies
RPR
prolactin
karyotopying.
Plus the usual disease ones that they like to test you for. I don't know if he can tell much from these but I guess I will have to ask him about about clotting disorder testing and the NK thing as well. But seeing he doesn't want to see me til after the lap there's not much I can do until I get to the end of the damn queue.
