I am taking chasteberry right now. I have been on it for about two months. I am taking it to try to regulate my cycles after coming off of birth control. Do you know when you ovulate? How long are your cycles? If you can pinpoint your ovulation date, you will be more successful with your ttc efforts. Most sperm only live on average 2-3 days and only in fertile cervical mucus.

What really helped me I think was taking my temperatures because I had an ovulation dip and then it rose a lot right afterwards. So I knew I ovulated and what day. It worked too!!! I am 5 weeks now!

I don't think you've given it enough time. Getting pregnant is not as easy as just having sex a few times a week. It took me 8 months the first time and 4 months this time. Your doctor won't even consider you as having fertility problems until you've been trying unsuccessfully for a year. You just have to be patient and keep trying.

where do you get an ovulation dip?

Melissa - when you chart your temp, you may be able to see a dip in your basel body temp and then a rise about your coverline temp. Your temp should stay high until either af comes or you confirm pregnancy.

Excuse me if i'm being a re-re,but when your temp goies down that means your getting af or you are preg?How do you know when your ovulating?

The whole thing with charting your temps is that you are supposed to do it for a few months to see how your cycle works. So you can see a pattern. Mine was just really easy to read. It was lower at the beginning and then I had an ovulation dip which lasted 3 days, and I guess the day before it rises is the day you ovulated. Then it shot up and stayed up. In mine I even had an "implantation dip" which I don't really know if it is real because I have read it is and it is not. But about 9 days after ovulation it dipped and I am pregnant!!! I was lucky enough to only have to chart one month though.

Not everyone is the same but sometimes, after you ovualte you may see a dip in temp anywhere from 7-9 days after you ovulate. This is called an implantation dip. Your temp should usually rise again after that dip and continue to stay higher if you are pregnant. If you are not pregnant you temp with drop back below your coverline temp and af will come. If you go to the fertilityfriend.Com website you can look at other peoples charts in the chart gallery. That may help you get more of an idea of what you are looking for.
