Everything You Wanted To Know About POAS...But Were Afraid To Ask

so in other words once we stop taking the soy, we should start POAS??? yeah I am down with that haha

Yes it brings ovulation forward :thumbup: esp if you do Day 1-5 which is what i've done.
I've been totally laid back this cycle, hardly thought about TTC at all so far. Then this evening I noticed a fair bit of EWCM so I POA OPK, just to check on where I was, and - OMFG - super positive! CD12??? My ov is CD17-20 most of the time, the earliest I've ever had is CD15, and that was a bit sketchy... bloody hell!! Lucky I checked!

Ho hum... guess better get to it then!

Hope you get the early ov as well Jodes after having to wait ages last cycle :thumbup:
 
well if it doesn't work this month, will try 1-5 next month. I was reading that soy makes you release more then one egg also? is that true?

also, how do you get more then 1 month on your FF chart to compare with others? I tried the overlay thing, but it doesn't do it. thanks

This is what Brooke posted a while back i hope this helps :flower:

This is from a post on a another thread:

1-5 = you produce more eggs, and ovulate sooner, with a stronger ovulation.

2-6 = you produce more eggs that usual, but not as many as taking it 1-5. Eggs may be more mature, and ovulation will be slightly more strong than 1-5.

3-7 = The best of both worlds, a few more eggs, and all eggs will be strong & mature, and ovulation will be alot stronger than 1-5.

4-8 = No more eggs will be produced, but the ones already there, will be matured a lot more than usual, and ovulation will be very strong. Ovulation may only be brought forward a teeny bit.

5-9 = You'll have one very mature strong egg, from the ones you already produced on your own. Ovulation will either happen when it usually does, or a few days later, but your egg will be of great quality.

I would suggest to take at least 80mg bc soy is half the strength of clomid. Soy can be taken anytime, but if taken at night, you can possibly avoid side effects and make sure to take them at the same time each day. As for opk, its suggested to start after period ends if cycle is < 35 days, or to start 3 days after period ends if cycle is > 35.

As for the charts ask dmom :thumbup:

Hi Girls,

I think i may have had a very faint 2nd line this morning. i was half asleep when i took the pic on my phone and have been in meetings all morning so i have only had a chance to look at it now. I might be seeing things though as i have to tilt my phone to see it and even then it might just be a shadow. I cant post them from here because of my limited access to this site at work.

:hugs:
 
looks clearer on my phone. :(

Wedny, IRL you see a line with color?

Was half asleep this morning so i took the pic and went to work. Didnt have time to look at the test. ive been back in the office a little over an hour and only then did i look at the pic.

The pic was taken in the time frame but i suppose it could still be an evap.
 
It really is so much clearer on my phone when i tilt it. Look BFN on here though.

Hey ho. Will poas again in the morning. :)

We picked up a new telly last Thursday. They gave us a voucher to take to a particular shop where we got a great deal on a 51inch hd 3d telly and with what was left we got a 3d player and glasses. All in all Derrin did us a favour. Lol
