Megg, sorry to see you back here, but it is thanks to you a lot of us have decided to try soy, so we will be delighted to see you wave good bye to us again!
Mrs N, this is brilliant news, it must be so heartwarming to officially be in the 2ww. Soy does seem to work for many, this is great.
Jaxvipe, cross fingers for that second cycle. It is my second too, hope the first one was just a blip, a testing of the experiment before making it sure it actually work! There seem to be a few of us at the same stage of our cycles.
Leilani, ummm, not sure. I took it 3-7 last cyle and it delayed ov by a couple of days...or I am assuming. I have oved anytime from 10 to 14 days before, the cd14 previously having been when I took AC. I started ovulating earlier again when I stopped, so started to take it again, and that pushed me to cd12. Last cycle, I didn't realise that you should soy OR AC, took both! This cycle, I decided to try soy without AC, so who knows when it will happen. This is my first cycle without the monitor, I want to take it a bit easier this cycle, that is in light of our first appt with consultant at the end of this cycle.
They do say the later you take it the later ov, so I would try cd5-10, or at least 4-9, at best it will delay, at worse it will be the same.
As for when to consider cd, I would say it depends on your periods. Mine only last two days with just spotting on 3rd, so it starts heavily in the afternoon, I consider it cd1, but I don't think it really matters.
