Hi Rose, I'm in my 7th cycle too....due any day for AF. This month I didn't temp and I was going to get OPKs, but I didn't. It was actually kind of nice not to think about it as much. What kind of charting do you do? I think if it doesn't work out this month, I'm going to go back to charting and get OPKs. I have an OBGYN appointment in August and I want to make sure to have as much information as possible to share with her. Good luck to you....it's not easy! I though ttc would be fun....wrong!

hey girl I actually take my temp every morning well I try lately my sleep pattern has been very off and disturbed also I just found out this morning that my thermometer is giving out on me so maybe that's why I'm getting these crazy temps who knows I've been using OPKs but I have yet to find an economical brand that really works for me I switched off between the Dollar Tree OPK's and the target up n up I honestly hate the target ones I can never really tell when I'm oing I was hoping to get confirmation with temps this month but it looks like I'm not going to ever see a rise the way I'm going I wanted to try on my own but it looks like I might be needing some help after all I'm only 23 years old I did take soy iso. this month and was hoping to get a positive but I might not even get therewhat will you be doing differently this cycle my last one I actually got my first smiley but only to get a four days later which was about 12 to 10 days earlier than my normal side cause I might have the LP defect

Hi! I'm a little older, 28, but I've read that if you are under 35 doctors prefer that you wait a whole year before getting tested...ugh, that seems too long! I have a regular doctors appointment in the beginning of June and the OBGYN in August. I'm planning on telling them both what's going on and hopefully I can get some suggestions or start testing. I've also been told that my husband can get his sperm count tested sooner. He's willing to do that, which is great. I really don't want to try too many things at this point without talking to a doctor. I was thinking about using pre seed to help make my cm more ideal. I've been tracking my cm over the past several months and I'm not sure I ever get the Ewcm. I have heard certain juices can help with that.

I'm also planning to do OPKs this cycle. Some ladies on another thread recommended the wondolf brand ones on amazon and said they are really cheap. If they get a positive with those, then they test with the clear blue smiley ones.

How do you calculate LP? That confuses me a bit. Thanks!

What's soy iso?

 

[baby_rose]

Lp is the day after o till the day before ur period usually 11-14 days the longer the better

Soy isoflavones is like a natural clomid it helps produce more eggs,stronger o, or more mature eggs its taken gor five days upon ur choice (over the counter About 4bucks. Walmart) ive read about good success rates on first cycles hey its worth a shot

I know if i get lower temps indicating af im going to order them. Off of ebay (wondfo) great tha . Ur hubby is willing to check himself fx for u girl

 

[HopePeaceJoy]

Thanks for letting me know about calculating LP. I'm hoping that by using OPKs next cycle I'll have a better idea of exactly when I ovulate. It's so hard to know if I even ovulate, I really just want testing! Good to know about soy iso....since its so cheap, definitely worth a shot. When in the cycle do you normally take it? Thanks!

I know how frustrating it can be. We have been ttc for almost a year, had 5 months with no af and no answers. I have answers now, which is good, but it was a long time of frustration. I decided to take a break from what felt like compulsive charting and temping and bd. I have an app on my phone where I can chart everything, but I've decided just to keep an eye on fertility time frames and log my cycle but that's it. TTC should be fun. I think when the stress and compulsions are taken out of his, the chances of conceiving may actually increase. Good luck to you in whatever you choose to do.

We just started again after a little break but planning/paying for a wedding is so stressful and I'm pretty sure soy won't work for me so I'm thinking of taking a break again now. So sick of disappointment.
