    I don't know but, I would definitely bring a list of what you're taking and how much - that way your doctor is at least informed if you continue to take the supplements and herbs. Just make sure the right hand knows what the left is doing- kwim?

    I don't know that quitting them 2 weeks prior would make a difference if you've been taking them for months anyway.

    Sorry, I don't feel like much help here.

    You do not have to quit taking your supplements, no. I agree with KC, just bring a list with you so your Dr knows what you are taking. I take a ton of supplements, and have never had any issues. Sometimes they ask me to stop taking certain pills for a couple days in a cycle, but that's all. 


    Good luck with your testing. Have you tried charting your cycles? That is a great way to rule out potential issues, such short luteal phase for ex.

    Mrs C swears by LOTS of water for EWCM prior to O and I use preseed :) those won't screw up O date.

    I've charted in the past but just started again this cycle and it's a mess. I think my thermometer needs a new battery because I've gotten some really random temps (as in 2 degrees lower than everything else to the point that I would be almost hypothermic).  I had weird spotting starting the day AF was due so I'm not really sure what to count as CD 1.  I used evening primrose oil to increase EWCM but apparently that can delay ovulation and it did for me since I randomly got a positive OPK last night, 3-4 days later that I would usually have expected (at least it wasn't anovulatory like I thought).   I've always been pretty regular and consistent and now, suddenly, this.   Thanks Obama!

    Next cycle I'm getting a new thermometer and am going to try vaginal temping, since I have sleep issues and mouth breathe at night. Hopefully it will actually tell me something, unlike this one.
    First of all I am cracking up @ Thanks Obama. Thanks for that. 

    Yea I just up the water intake for EWCM, none of the fancy shit (pills, voodoo, goat sacrificing) ever worked for me. 

    CD1 is the first day of red flow, so count the wonky spotting as wonky spotting.  

    Are you using a basal therm? Yea try the vag temping,  I had to veg temp for the same reason and it made a big difference.

    I have read that if you are taking fertility blend you should not take on fertility meds? (Mainly from what i understand increases progesterone levels but i seriously don't know how much or how long stays in system). So I don't know if you're taking that, but like the smart ones said (KC1212 & MrsCastillo) talk to doctors. And agree, and as they say in Army, DRINK WATER!!! Hydrate, urinate and do it all again! I wish I could go one cycle not thinking that... I was brainwashed!!!
