Temp dropped...waiting...

My temp dropped this morning. I am now just waiting for AF to arrive. I went to the chiro today and she worked on my lower back and did tons of ultrasound therapy to help prevent, or majorly lessen, cramps. Hopefully it will work.

I think I am going to try Maca Root next cycle to see if that helps shorten things up. We are going to have to think about whether we are TTC or not this month as we already have a trip to San Fransisco for my brothers graduation from seminary planned for the end of next May. They won't let you fly when you are 8 mo. preggo, and I missed my brothers first graduation because I was 2 days from my due date with my oldest.

Here is my chart if you want to look. It was a 91 day cycle and I was 17 DPO and was thinking that this was it, I guess not...

I'm sorry . . . GL next cy, and in your decision. Do you have long cys often? Have you been to a dr to get it checked out? If you decide to do the maca, hope that works for you. I've also heard that baby aspirin post-O can help people with long cys - the lining gets really tough from the long wait, and baby aspirin can help prepare things for implantation.

Sorry your temp dropped. I hope you will have an easy time with making your next ttc decision.

I am curious too, as to what the dr has said about the long cycles.
do you have pcos by any chance?
I think for helping with the cycle, vitex/chasteberry might be a good thing to look into.
I am so sorry that things didnt work out for you this cycle. Hopefully you can get some answers to this?

I was diagnosed with PCOS in March 2000, I had ovarian cycts after being on clomid for a year without a break

. I have gotten pregnant all 3 times without any meds. I have gotten preg. while b'fding.

Shilo (or anyone else) - Please tell me more about the vitex/chasteberry and the maca root. I need to decide to get on the stuff if I am going to this cycle, and I have to find it.

I took maca root last cycle and I am taking it this cycle. Last cycle was down to 39 days the cycle before that without maca root was 69 days. So it seemed to help me. Last cycle I took 1500mg a day this cycle I am taking 2000mg a day to see if it makes a diff. Hope this help you out.

Don't pay attention to my cycle day chart I am not sure how to change it. I am currently on cd7.
