Well, it's been a while since I posted here, but I DID it! And in about 2 months or less! I started Acupuncture about a month and a half ago and had been taking all the meds in my siggy for that long. I tried Vitex for a while, but was advised against it. I was hoping to avoid Clomid and I did. Not PG YET...but I did O on my own! I started Actos at the beginning of my last cycle so I had been on it about 1 week before my progesterone induced AF started. I really don't think the Actos did it for me. I think it helped a bit, but all the other things I think did it. In addition to what is listed in my siggy, I have been exercising more regularly AND started the low-GI diet, but I haven't been all that good about the diet. Soooooo, I had a cycle all on my own without clomid! Now, sperm missed egg, but STILL, I O'd!! YAY!
My progesterone was 8.1 at 5DPO so that confirmed O, even though it was early. An OPK also showed an O and a thermal shift along with the many other signs. You can certainly do this! There are soooo many ways to help yourself without Clomid! I think soy was a good part. I took days 3-7 though and 200mg of it. Good luck ladies!
~~baby dust if you are TTC~~~ and ~~~cycle dust~~~ for those who are just trying to cycle regularly. Is there such a thing as cycle dust? Who knows!
