here only a few times and you all have been incredibly helpful. This is our third month trying to conceive. My cycles have typically been 26 days with only a nine day luteal cycle. I've lost over 90 pounds in a year and a half causing my thyroid to go a little haywire. As of this past month it is now under control though my luteal cycle has not changed for the better. My LMP was 21 days ago today and I think I am just ovulating now. (My OPK was almost as dark as the test line last night so I'm assuming I'll ovulate today. Unfortunately I ran out of OPK tests and won't be able to get more today). My cervical fluid has been watery but not exactly egg white consistency. During this cycle I've been taking a Vitex tincture as well as B6 and B Complex in the capsule form (a total of 200 mg of B6). The problem is that this is already day 21 of my cycle and I am just now ovulating. I'm assuming the vitamins and tincture have made my cycle a little off and my period will now come later than day 26? I've read on this board that I should discontinue vitex after ovulation and continue with B6 until I get my period. Has anyone had experience with this? I'm just worried that my cycles are not condusive to even getting pregnant....last month I never got a completely positive OPK but instead a test line almost as dark as the reference and no line the next day. I've read that with OPKs that time in between the tests could be the time of the surge. I have been charting (this month only) but my temps seem a little all over the place.

Thanks everyone for reading this far! I'd really love and welcome any advice you can offer.

Hi, Heather! I would agree that you are ovulating now- not everyone gets EWCM, some get watery as their most fertile. The meds could be having an affect on your cycle length- there's nothing wrong though with "o"ing on cd21. You still have the same chances of conceiving. You should never expect AF to arrive by the standard length of your cycle....always determine "o" and add your luteal phase to see when AFNW- though your luteal phase may be longer with the suppliments you're trying. GL to you and I hope you caught it!
