    .....right, so i've been told by mum doctor to stop taking AC, as it could interfere with conception (she thinks anything in body, including herbal is not good)
    anyway, having had a lok on good old google, i have seen SO many stories of people who's AF hadnt started again after the pill, they took it, OV'd and got pregnant!

    i am worried i am not doing all i can to get my body started again.

    does anyone think i should continue taking it...even if just for the placebo effect (ie, makes me relax and brings on AF?)
    i am also worried about it interfering aswell though

    HELP! xxxx

    Sorry can't help at all as no idea but just laughed a lot at "mum" instead of "doctor" I very nearly called my senior at work "Dad" the other day and it reminded me of that :lol:

    Hi LivvyS,

    I am on cd 66 today...so I know what you are going through. I have been taking AC and evening primrose oil since cd 49. I know you should stop after ov, but like you I have no idea if/when that happens so I thought I would just go for it and keep taking them til af shows up!
    We are still bding but there's nothing quite like the worry of a missing af to kill labido!
    Since taking them, I haven't noticed much difference to be honest and when I saw your last post about the doc telling you not to take AC I got really worried and didn't take either today, just my pregnacare!
    So I haven't given you advice at all (sorry about that) I just thought I should say that it has made me think twice about it and I might stop taking it now!
    I know what you mean about placebo effect but I personally don't think it would trick my body...

    Im sorry if my post isn't much help, but sometimes its just nice to know other people are having the same thoughts! I hope your af shows up soon so you can get on with ttc,
    S

    hi spanglepants.
    thanks for the post. i have decided to take mine again (sorry for the contradicting posts!) i have thought about it and thought, well - if my AF doesnt come, then i cant realistically conceive anyway - unless i do ov test EVERY day, for, god knows how long and work out if, when i ov - or bd EVERY day and wear us both out and hope that i OV.
    i just want to get everything started again and will just see how this AC goes.
    rocky kiz....i am taking folic acid (included in the sanatogen mum-to-be vits)

    if anyone out there thinks i'm being stupid, please tell me! xx
