Smile Is anyone taking SPI?

I'm thinking of trying it CD 3-7. I'm CD 50 right now and will start my prometrium on Monday. My Dr has me waiting until August to try clomid again so in the meantime I have to do something. I was just wondering if anyone was still taking it or anyone who has had success with it when combined with met.

i'm waiting for af right now and will try spi again along with herbs(see my sig.) next cycle. i tried spi alone, no O. i tried it with 1500mg gluc xr, again, no O. gluc xr and clomid 200 mg didn't do me any good either, so i'm going back to herbs and spi before i do inj.(again) with gluc xr.

I took it this last cycle and I believe it worked. I have used three fertility tools and all three say I ovulated. Right now I am 20DPO and trying to figure out why my period hasn't started. i just find it too strange to be pregnant. Below is a link to my chart if you want to take a look.

you may not have O'ed. if you O'ed and you're not pg, then you would get af. go get a p4 and a beta, then you'll know for sure. good luck.
