I am sorry I cant give you much advise because I havent used ovulex before.

I dont know whether this will be helpful or not, but if you dont get the replys you want you could try scrolling through some old posts. Its just I remember seeing some posts in the past titled 'ovulex' (or something similar) I know they're old but they might still have some good info!

Hope this helps!

Thanks anyways! I will try looking up some old posts and see if I can find anything!! I would just hate to buy it and then find out in late december that I am pregnant!!!!! (being positive here with all appendiges crossed! Lol!) i'm not keen on taking pills, but i've heard some great things about it, so still not entirely sure?!
Hope all is going well with you?! Do you get to "test" soon?!

Hello,

i used ovulex in the past, it didnt work for me! But also I remember some1 posting saying that ovulex should be kept in the fridge after opening. I didnt get them intructions!! I found that it didnt make much difference, apart from maybe more cm!

Sorry I cant help more, and good luck!

Xxx

i am testing on december 03rd,if a/f doesnt show. Thats something like 20 dpo! I am testing so late because its my first month on meds and cycles all over the place! Plus I have only just ovulated for the 1st time in at least 6 months so expecting to end up pregnant this month too is probably asking to much!!

Well - you never know, it could just happen right?! I will be keeping my fingers crossed for you
by the way, here's a question for you; you say that it is the 1st time you have o'd in 6 mths........Did you ever get a period then in those previous 6 mths??? The reason I ask, is b/c my doctor told me that I may have not been ovulating for the past 5 months and that's why my periods were so far apart, but, I did eventually have my af, even if it was 51 days between cycles. I told him this, and he said that it may have been a "false period". What the heck is a false period!!!????? He confused me, b/c now I know that everything in my body is healthy, but I have no idea why then I wouldn't be ovulating?
20dpo is ok....It will just give your body more time to produce more hcg and give you a big fat bfp on your test when you take it!!!!
2 weeks away and counting................
Klo - thanks so much for your response! I am hearing that from ladies....It either worked really well for them, or it didn't seem to make a difference! Still not sure if I will buy it?!

I used it and got pregnant with twins

That's wonderful!!!!! But that also scares me! Lol!
There are alot of twins that run in my family, and the gene also tends to skip a generation, so that would mean I have a very high chance of having twins!
do you recommend any paticular site to buy it from?!
Thanks for the help!

Sorry I cant remember what site I bought it off. Not sure ovulex caused me to have twins cause twins run in the family. Good luck!

yep 2 weeks ... Fingers crossed,

i always thought a false period was a when you got a period without ovulating???? Not so sure now!!

Prepare for a loooong story!

well I have had irregular periods all my life. After having my first baby I went on the mini pill for 3 months, this made me really depressed so I stopped taking it. It put me off taking any other pill so I just relied on other b/c. I had 2 periods after that and then they stopped all together. On my first couple of trips to the doctors they told me it was probably the effects of the pill. Then after that I was sent for a blood test which apparently were normal. They just basically said 'go away and lose some weight then everything will be fine!!' I remember asking about b/c at the time and the nurse told me abrutly if I wasnt having a/f then I couldnt get pregnant! Anyway this went on for over a year I was 21 and didnt have any periods at all over that time, I was abit overweight but nowhere near the size I would have though you needed to be for your periods to stop!! A few months later out of the blue I start experiencing pregnancy like symptoms, so I felt stupid but did a hpt and it was bfp!
After lucas was born I decided to go on the combined pill in between then for the first time in my life I was having periods every 28 days. I took the pill till august last year and came off it to ttc. I think I got my 1st period in november and after that got one every month around 38/40 cd. In febuary they just stopped again for no reason so I went back to the doctors and demanded to be reffered to gynae. I wasnt going to put up with it again!! Lol. Anyways it was then I was told I had pcos!!

Have you tried opk's to see if your ovulating?

Oh girl - I feel so bad for you. What a nerve wracking time that must have been, but i'm glad that you finally got some answers and that you are now on your way to fixing things (so to speak) and it seems to be working, with you finally ovulating and such!
I was going to buy some opk tests, but they are about $40.00 for only 5 tests, and since I have no idea when, or if i'm even ovulating - never mind that my periods can come anywhere from 45-51 days apart, I have no idea when to test and I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on tests!!
Like I said, I have been charting my temp every day now for almost 7 months, but that doesn't seem to tell me anything either. I even tool the graph to my doctor and he said that they fluctuated more than normal.
If I get my af right around x-mas, then I am still very irregular, and I wil be going back to my doctor in jan. He said at that point, he will put me on something similar to clomid (since it's not legal here) to try and get me o'ing and get my cycles back to normal. This is why I was thinking of buying ovulex, in hopes of getting things going before january!!
I've been on the pill for so long, that I can't remeber if I was regualr back then or not - but I think I was ok, maybe around 29 or 30 days then.
What kind of test did your gyn do to tell if you were ovulating or not? I don't think my doc did that test?! I only had bloodwork to check hormone levels, and an ultrasound to check for pcos, blockage and whatever else they look for in and up there!!!!
Maybe i'm jumping the gun, but some say that my af should have somewhat regulated itself by now - even if I was a 35 day cycle, it would be better than 51 days!!!!!
Yes - I think that a false period is when you don't ovulate, but then what is your body doing? I thought your af is when your egg does not get fertilized, so the uterus lining and wall and egg "shed" - and that is your af?! If your body did not release an egg, then what are you shedding when you finally do get an af?!? Whoa - maybe I need to go back and re-do grade 8 sex-ed!!! Lol!
Anyhoo - all very frustrating and confusing isn't it? I always thought it would be en easy process when I was ready to have a baby. So many woman get pregnant at the drop of a hat when they weren't even trying - a blessing - but still makes me sad that it can't happen to me!
Thanks for all of your help and info - you are a great person to talk to, and I can't wait to see if you get a bfp on the 3rd!!! Keep me posted and stay in touch

I got my ovulex, and have been taking it for over two weeks now. I noticed that it's trying to regulate my cycles to 28 days instead of 30 like I had before. So at least that's good news. I didn't have much cm before, so i'm hoping that this time i'll have a lot more. I just got done with my af, so we're just started ttc today and will every other day until next month (before my next af comes)... So we need all the baby dust we can get!
i heard a lot of stories about ovulex on this forum and on the actual website (*www.Ovulex.Com*) that it works. But some say it doesn't. I still can't tell you for sure, as I just started this two weeks ago, and it takes a while for it to work (3-4 weeks some say). Yes, you do need to keep it refregerated (it says that right on the bottle). And you have to stick to a schedule when taking the pills... For example I take it in the morning after taking my basal temperature, and then again around 9:30pm (sometimes it's an hour before I go to bed, but sometimes it's not... I just try to get my body to get use to one schedule). It says if you do take it at same times each day, it will work better - so that's what i'm doing at the moment. I'm also taking my vitamins (not the prenatal ones, cause some people say that ovulex already has the vitamins in it, even though it doesn't state on the bottle anywhere, so I just take flingstone vitamins each morning. It also says that you need to eat healthy while taking the pills (fresh and washed fruits, veggies, etc) it should say specificaly on the pamflet that comes with it.
My one month supply cost me only $47 shipping and handling, so total it was about $56. So it's not that bad. Hope this helps somehow, sorry it's so long of a post, but I just didn't wanna leave anything out that I know about the pill.
Also if you're using any lubricants during your ttcing, make sure it's one that doesn't kill sperm. They say ky jelly and some other ones that you can find at a drug store, won't even let your sperms get pass the cervix. So that really upseted me, because for the past two months we were trying, we were using ky jelly... So now it's all in the garbage! I'm gonna go and buy the pre-seed lubricant that everyone says it's sperm-friendly (and also helps you be more fertile). Hope all that helps me concieve soon! I would love to be pregnant before christmas, so I can surprise my family and give them a great gift of the best news ever! He he he!

just one more thing - .D.O.N'.T. .S.T.R.E.S.S. !!! Believe me it will play a big role in ttcing - i'm trying my best to not worry about anything anymore - and the best thing, is that ovulex will help you ease up on all the stress you can't get away from, so your body doesn't take it as bad.

Good luck on ttc - and all the baby dust to you!



let me know how you do! Keep me posted!

Thanks so much for your response! I actually ordered one bottle of ovulex this afternoon, so I am hoping that it will also help me! I was going to order the 3 bottles, but thought i'd just start with one to see how it goes and if I notice a difference! What a blessing it would be if it actually got me to a 28-30 day cycle, rather than a 51 day cycle, like I have now!!!!
I am also expecting my af right around x-mas day (that is if it is still on a 51 day cycle?!), so I agree that finding out I am pregnant at that time, would be the greatest x-mas gift anyone could ever get!!!!!!!!
I agree with you on the whole stressing part - not worth it and you're right, it plays a major role when you are ttc!!!!!!
Here's a ton of baby dust to us, and getting our magical wish for a wonderful christmas pressie - a big bfp on the stick
good luck to you girl - we'll stay in touch and i'll be wishing on stars for you!

I am glad to see you have made up your mind on the ovulex!! I really wish you the best!! You must be soo frustrated at times! With having a 51day cycle must get your hopes up abit, I know I would!

The only tests I had to determine that I wasnt ovulating was blood tests to check my hormones and other things that could have been responsible for lack of a/f and I had a u/s. My results came back that I had quite few cysts on both my ovaries. That was it for tests! But because of the cysts and lack of a/f they came to the conclusion that because it was pcos the chances of me ovulating were very slim.

I always thought the same thing about the 'false periods' lol!! I dont know how they work either!! Mayb we should go back to school together!

wow! I never knew opk's were that expensive!! Thats such a stupid price considering the people that need them dont know when they are ovulating so probably get through loads!


My df found out today he has to go into hospital next tuesday for an operation on his leg (he had a car crash 3yrs ago and broke his femur) which now means if a/f comes this month I will have to put ttc on hold for a couple of months!! somehow I dont think he will be up to bd'ing for a while!!

Poor hubby! That's going to be painful for a while!!! In that case, I hope you get a huge happy surprise on the 3rd of dec!!! My hubby had some surgery last month and even though we still (well, sort of) ttc, I think I totally missed all of my fertile and ovulation day, so that went out the window!

I am excited about the ovulex getting here - praying that it works they say it takes about 2 weeks to start working, and in about 10-14 days is when I should be having my fertile days, so i'm really going to be putting this pill to the test!!!!!!!

Hmmm, just bloodwork huh - well, I guess since mine came back "fine", maybe I am ovulating then? I hate the doctor's office - they never give you the full story, and they make it more confusing than I think it has to be when it comes to tests. Grrrr
i guess you can buy cheaper opk tests off the internet, but I hate doing that sometimes - don't know what you're getting and whose getting your c/c number! I may go and buy some once my cycle becomes a little more normal, and I know when I should be testing - but yes, $40.00 for 5 tests is absurd!!!!

Keep me posted on af status - here's to no af and no sign of it coming!!!!

I'm not exactly sure when ovulex made it's debut but I did buy a three month supply years ago when I was ttc my first. I'm assuming the pill itself was relatively new and said nothing about refrigeration and had many other differences from what it is now. I bought mine from ovulex.Com and got it for a reasonable price ($84.99 for 3 month supply) but that was before it got really popular. It didn't work for me but i've heard it worked for others. I didn't notice any changes in my body and it didn't have side effects. The only thing that concerns me is that it's not fda approved and putting something like that in my body while i'm ttc makes me nervous. It says it operates under fda guidelines but the fda hasn't actually said "yes this is safe and can work". Any drug sold legally in the u.S. Has to be made under fda guidelines even those miracle weightloss pills they advertise like crazy on tv that weren't evaluated by the fda. It also said that it uses all natural things to help you conceive, true, so to save money go to the drug store and buy your own chasteberry supplement and whatever else is "supposed" to be in this pill. No one can really prove that this pill worked for them so I really don't want to see some of my online friends waste money on something that is just a glorified vitamin. Maybe if I heard an actual doctor say that this pill helped someone get pregnant, then I would feel differently. But, maybe just taking regular vitamins and getting a healthy lifestyle could have helped these couples who said this pill worked and spent an outrageous amount of money. Plus, you would think that if this company actually found and made something to help women conceive it would be sold by prescription only and cost an outrageous amount of money (not that it isn't already steep enough). Sorry I got off on a rant about this...I just think that if you're going to spend your money on fertility drugs, it should come from your doctor...Not from the internet. I made that mistake!

I hear what your saying! I only bought one bottle for the reasons you stated. It came today, and I am out of town at the moment, so I will begin this friday. Just wanted to see how it works for me with regulating my cycles - anything shorter than 51 days would be great!
I am leary about taking this, but I spoke to my doctor briefly about it, and he told me to bring the bottle in when I get it - I will be doing that before I take any - just to be on the safe side! However, and i'm not saying that this makes it any better or any safer, canada allows it to be brought in, and trust me, they hardly let any kind of "pills" in from the us or internationally, if it hasn't been scoured over a hundred times, so that makes me feel a little bit better.
Thanks for your info though, I appreciate getting it from all angles
