Newbie...some advise please ladies

Hi ladies, im a newbie on here, im 28 and i have been on the pill for 10yrs. I have just come off it and have decided to try for a baby. I have been reading lots on here about taking agnus castus and evening primrose oil but everyone seems to recommend different dosages? which is the most common amount to take? from what ive read so far i understand u only take it from the first day of ur period upto ovulation then stop til ur period comes again. I have found a post which tells me how to work out when im ovulating so i think im ok there, so is there anything else i shud be doing to help myself? i also read something about taking Dong quai too, apparently this works well taken with agnus castus? obviously its early days for me and i have only been off the pill 2 days so im just waiting for my pill period first then i have to wait for a true period so im trying to prepare myself for everything i shud be doing so i can concieve quickly any advise wud be greatly received, i never realise having babies was so technical as iv spent the last 10yrs trying not to have one haha, thanks ladies xxx

Hello

Im 29 and i also was on the pill over 10 yrs.and I came off pill in Jan 09 and im still not pregant.

Ive never heard of taking agnus castus and evening primrose oil untill i have been reading on different posts.

I understand ovulating and have taken test and every test i have taken has said negative so i dont even know if i am ovulating.

What pill was u on?

I hope u get your dream wish asap as im still trying every month.

Good luck

Thanks

Hi ladies, thanks for making me feel welcome. I just got my pill period on saturday so waiting for that to get lost then i'll be doing the baby dance haha.

To Trace28 - if ur not getting a positive OV for the last 10 months then u must not be ovulating? are u having proper periods since being off the pill? have u been taking agnus castus as thats spose to help regulate ur periods an bring everything back to normal i think. Maybe u shud see ur doctor?

Love and babydust to you all xxx
