Zoie, I'm a bit
confused because I thought you already had a +opk on a FRER. Better get that eggie.
Stacey, how many dpo are you now?
Maybe there is some truth to the not trying thing. I was reading about lowering fsh and a big thing is stress. If you aren't stressing you're increasing your chances. Megg, I think you did an awesome job not stressing and appreciating every moment. But back to the fsh, it doesn't really make sense to try to lower it because your body makes more to compensate for less estrogen from less eggs. But, there are dr's who wait to do treatment cycles for a cycle with a lower early fsh so there must be something to it, although he dr's don't seem to agree on it. Anyway, conclusions on lowering fsh study are vitex, dhea to lower cortisol(last on my list), wheatgrass. Katie, I think you should see if your maca will change it. I hate to suggest it but maybe another frer fsh test if you don't conceive this cycle. I'm betting you do. I ordered maca, my dh is going to take it too. Woo hoo.
Mummylove, soy is soy isoflavones. You can get it about anywhere. It's a supplement. I've also read about women using natural soy foods to get their isoflavones. Soy isoflavones are a phytoestrogen, they bind to your estrogen receptors but they basically hold a spot open because your body doesn't recognize them. So it tricks your body into making more estrogen because it thinks you don't have enough. Then when you stop suddenly your body is in high gear and you get that ovulation response started.
There are two amounts on the bottle of soy, one says mg per capsule the other is isoflavones per capsule. Look at the isoflavones mg, I think starting with about 80mg is good. What do you think Katie? Or anyone else? I did 160 and I may have over done it a bit. It did change my o day. I usually o on day 17/18 but did on day 16. That doesn't seem like a big deal but at the time I had been having messed up cycles and oing way late. I took it on days 5-9, thinking I was working with my natural cycle more but I'm not so sure that was best either. I'm taking Femara on days 3-7 and oing on day 14/15 now. I felt like soy was stronger than the Femara, I'm thankful that it's a tool that we have access to.
Andrea, I understand what you are saying. I hope you are pg so you can be at peace that way. I really hope it happens soon for you, like now.
