Well i am gutted

I wrote a really long complex reply and then at the end attempted to post a link to another thread on here but since i'm still new it wouldnt let me and i lost it all

Basically, my problem is LH is high due to insulin resistance. Thus FSH not high enough to produce and mature a follicle for release.
So thanks to Silarose, i understand that Vitex is NOT my solution but instead i need to try Clomid. Which i plan to ask for when i finally get to see my referral specialist.

There is also an excellent thread on the TTC \ vitamin-b6-lengthen-luteal-phase-increase-progesterone that explains about VitB complex to lengthen a luteal phase defect also associated with hormone imbalance. Have you guys been watching that one too??

And so the fight goes on ..... one day i will have a baby!

Take care all

Hello everyone. Haven't been on here for awhile and was wondering how everyone was getting on. I have been trying not to focus on TTC for a while to get my stress levels down but it is so hard!

I hope some of you have had some good news by now. Not the case for me yet i'm afraid! Vitex seemed to increas my luteal phase to 8 days for a couple of months which was better but not ideal. I
Have an appointment with the fs on Thur. Apparently my DH has a low sperm count. The fs told me that it was 8 when it should be 16 - I assume she meant million but was to stressed during the appointment to think to ask!!!! He has had some motility tests and we will get the results on thur. I have also had more progesterone tests so will find out about that too.

Hope some of you have had some good news. Let me know xxxx
