Anyone TTC#2 and wanting to chat

Sun - I seem to remember you posting a while back that you were thinking of trying soy isoflavones. Have you started taking them yet? And if you have, have you noticed any difference in your cycle? x

I took them last month and they definitely changed my cycle - but I don't know if it was for the better!! I normally OV around CD9-12, but I used OPKs until CD18 and nothing. I think I *may* have OV 2 days later as there was suddenly tons of ewcm, but I was out of sticks to test. Then my cycle was about 3-4 days longer than normal - the longest I have ever had at 31 days!! No BFP, but I don't know if it made a difference. I may try soy again next month since I started charting for the first time this month so I will have a better idea of what it does. I took it days 2-6. xxx

I am hell-bent on getting a BFP wayyyy quicker this time though!!!! We were hoping for less than 6 months and are on cycle 4 now ... so I will try anything LOL

 

[Sambles]

Thanks, I'm really thinking of trying it but I'm not sure if it will help. I'm sure it won't hurt though so I might give it a go x

 

[sun]

I was hoping for something that would up the length of my LP since my cycles are short, but I don't know if soy even really does that. I couldn't take a high dose of it either since I am bf and was ok'd by the doc to only take a certain amount.

Fingers crossed for us next month!! xxx

 

[Sambles]

I wanted to take it because my cycles are long and irregular (I've got PCOS) and I don't always ovulate. I'm on cd50 ish and still haven't ovulated so do you reckon soy will help? I'm going to the doctors next week about my cycles but I daren't mention soy because I don't think he would approve.

 

[sun]

Soy is supposed to have similar effects to clomid. Clomid is often used for people with PCOS or ovulation probs, so it could work for you!!! You could ask your doc about taking clomid too since it's the real thing. I don't actually think my probs can be helped by either, but I thought I would give it a shot since it couldn't hurt. xxx

Evening ladies. Not read back over the thread yet so ive no idea how much i need to catch up on.

Cant you tell little white lies hun and see if he will prescribe you with clomid??

I always feel hesitant about buying those kinda things, like when i bought the agnus castus, good job i didnt use it too!

I hope you get on well at the drs next week.

Xxx

 

[Sambles]

Yeah I'm going to speak to him about clomid but because we have only been trying for 4 months I don't know if he will prescribe it. So if he doesn't then I will definitely try the soy.

Thanks for the info x

I've got a bottle of agnus castus ready to be used and even though it was brilliant and it helped me fall pregnant before, I feel a bit uneasy using it this time. I don't know why. I will see what the doctor says next week.

I can't wait for you to have your scan, I'm so excited lol x

 

[Stef]

Could you tell him you have been trying for 6 months? My dr was happy to prescribe it to me if i got to 5 months with out anything but he did say in his practise its usually 6 and especially since you have a diagnosed condition surely they can help you

xx

 

[Stef]

Oooh you could end up with twins on Clomid. How exciting would that be!!

Xx

 

[sun]

What does agnus cactus do??? I have heard of it, but no idea. xx

It's kind of similar to clomid but it's a herbal product. I think it helps the body to produce progesterone. When I was trying to conceive DS my cycles were every 60 -70 days but when I took that it regulated them to every 35 days x

There are twins that run in my mum's family!

Evening ladies :wave:

Cherie - hope your feeling a bit better this evening

Stef - hay chick :wave: fab news about getting a scan date

Evening Kerri - maybe you should just DTD tonight incase

Bun - what time is it over in Canada? not sure what the time length is? how comes you feel funny about the Soy? I must admit I havent heard of that before

Vicki - hay hun, when do you think you'll POAS?

Well girls I am so excited - My FIL has just been round and told us him and his g/f are getting married next year its such fab news but whats even better is there getting married in St Lucia eeeeeek now what do I do about TTC!!! If I get pregnant in the next couple of months I have 6 / 8 months to work the weight off or so I now wait until we get back next year? or just see what happens and put the money to one side so we can book and go?! EEK so confusing!!! I'm gonna start a diet next week now just incase LOL

Hows everyones day been? I was at work today boo only 1 more work day left though not to bad I guess

 

[Sambles]

Wow a wedding in St Lucia sounds gorgeous! That's a really difficult decision to make. If I was you I would probably still try for the next few months and then re-look at the situation in March or April.

I'm going to test on Fri I think even though I'm almost certain now that I haven't ovulated yet but I won't be able to hold out any longer!

I'm at work tomorrow as well, not looking forward to it but I know once I get there the time will go really quickly x

 

[sjbno1]

Yeah that sounds like a good idea and sensible time scale - although am going to start doing WW again in the mean time so that shouldnt hurt and going to the gym

work is so poop!!! i would prefer to play with izzie all day but needs must with money i guess

 

[x-TyMa-x]

Sarah im in this situation too lol, my sister gets married sept 2012, and im bridesmaid....its made me think lots of times ....what do i do about TTC....do i carry on and keep trying or wait till after the wedding but then there will be a 5 year age gap between tyler and his little bro or sis .....its all too confusing

 

[sjbno1]

Its difficult isnt it - I need to lost alot of weight and get my arse in gear and this is a good incentive! i'm gonna give it a few more cycles - I can still get healthy whilst being pregnant I guess it just means taking 2 babies on holiday instead of 1

 

[Stef]

Sarah, I know im glad the ball finally rolling but now it seems like ages away

Wedding in St Lucia sounds lovely! How exciting! I think if it was me id carry on TTC but obviously its your decision.

Vicky - yes you need to test friday!! The suspense is killing me!!

Kerri - 2012 is ages away yet you will be fine
