December 17, 2018 at 4:29 pmHi all,

I'm recently TTC. I'm cycling super infrequently (diagnosed PCOS). I had my paraguard removed in April (it was out of place), and began charting at that time. I successfully charted one ovulation in July, but all my other cycles this year have been ended by provera. I've been TTC since mid-October. I found out I have a severe vitamin D definciency last month and I'm vaguely hopeful my cycles might return when my D levels return to normal ranges (the only time in my life I cycled normally - e.g. 35 days - was when I lived in the tropics and was walking everywhere, haha).

Has anyone heard anything about vitamin D being a factor in anovulation?

July 29, 2019 at 9:11 pmI'm thinking it does. I wasn't ovulating and wasn't having an af. When my doctor ran tests I was vitamin D deficiency she had put me on a high dose for 10 days. Afterwards I did get my af that same month. Hadn't took any since and went back to not having my af then earlier this month after being in the extreme heat and sun one day at a family reunion I got my af again this month. I never thought anything about it before till this happened this month and the only thing really that the two have in common is the vitamin D which is what the sun provides so I'm now thinking it does in fact have a lot to do with it. Will be trying to take in more sun and have my doctor now keep an eye on mine to see if I continue getting my af.

May 15, 2020 at 3:34 pmI know this is an old thread, but for any other women who are looking for information.
I had 4 miscarriages in the past and my hcg always came back low and slow rising. my vit D was always dangerously low during all 4. I had heaps of tests, hysteroscopy etc, and all (except low vit D) came back normal, so they’re just unexplained MCs. This pregnancy, my bloodwork came back really good and hcg doubling in 31 hours. My vit D is in the good range, so i dont know if it’s coincidental. I also have been making other changes like exercising, taking Vitex, baby aspirin and mega volate prior to BFP. Oh and i did 4 days detox in march. So i dont know if its vitD or combination of everything. I just wanted to share my experience here, as i know i was looking/ reading a lot of forums in the past and some answers have helped me. Baby dust to all.

November 8, 2020 at 7:59 amthanks for sharing, vit D plays a huge role in conceiving. Myself I know a lady with a few BNFs, who changed her clinic, and it appeared that her vit D level is too low. After taking supplements, she had 1st time success. And even her new clinic is based in Europe, it was worth travelling.
