Let's welcome Soy to this cycle!!!! 42 BFP's so far!!!!

[Rin731]

Hello ladies!! I've been M.I.A. for the past little while -- decided to relax a bit on the whole TTC since my hubby was getting freaked out and I was getting stressed out. I still kept up on taking the soy (since I really believe it had a positive affect on my cycle) and temp so that I could have a continuous history of data to show the specialists etc... Anyway, of course as luck would have it, since I decided to "relax" this cycle, I got my BFP yesterday (VERY MUCH to my surprise since our timing was quite off, see chart). I won't bore you guys with my whole long story here, but I just wanted to say thank you to Madrid and all the other creators and long-time ladies on this thread who provided invaluable support and information in this process. Even though I didn't post much, I read A TON, and you ladies provided me with a wealth of information! Thank you all for being such amazing examples of bravery, strength and kindness. Don't ever give up!

Congrats

TMR- any chance you can make up later today. You may still have time. Rmbr, pos opk doesn't mean you are ovulating right then. Go be nice so you can use his body real quick, lol!!

We made up with dtd lol bring on the TWW at last

See that's what I'm talking about. Yay!!
Big congrats to all the new BFPs!!!

Hopefully this 2nd round of soy will get me my BFP. I have to go to my dr on Monday to see about testing my progesterone levels bc my LP was only 8 days. I guess it was a good thing that AF got me a week early bc I have to have oral surgery on Friday and they said the medicine they use to put you to sleep causes mc.

 

[mybabyluv3]

See everything happens for a reason. Hopefully you will hear something from the dr so you will be prepared this cycle and good luck with the teeth!

Hey Ladies. This is a rant so be prepared.

Firstly, tmr1234 I am sooo happy you managed to get your BD in. This is your month hun!!! I know it!!

Well, as I have said before, my body is the best con artist ever. Once again, 6th cycle of TTC and my symptoms post O were different from all the other cycles. I was pretty excited due to 5 days of AF pains. However, this morning my cervix went really low and i have watery CM which is how my AF starts. Usually I start spotting today with AF starting tomorrow. Today I have the worst AF cramps I have ever had in my 6 cycles. Last month on soy my AF was so light and short, but this month I have so much pain. I am 99% sure I am out.

Last night I wanted to talk to someone and tried hinting to talk to DH but he was being funny again. He likes winding me up but sometimes I am really not in the mood and I just want to have a serious conversation for one without worrying about him taking it up the wrong way. I also wanted to approach the subject of him getting a semen analysis and the doctor won't do any further tests on me without DH getting a semen analysis. But I am scared it will put him off TTC.

This sounds so pathetic and I apologise for the rant, its just that having a baby after going through mastectomy and chemo is something very important to me and I know all of you ladies feel the same. I don't expect DH to understand but I do want him to respect how much this means to me.

This morning after he left for work I just bawled my eyes out We have tried the relax approach, the planned approach, the "BD like rabbits" approach, and no BFP.

 

[tmr1234]

Thank you girls for all your good luck wishes i think i can say i DID ov yesterday at last. This month has been nothing but stress and waiting 1st my soy didnt turn up then my tests didnt turn up untill the last min then my son broke his arm arrggg i am so over it now and can relax for the next 11 days yay.

I think this thred is sooo lucky and hope every 1 gets there BFP vvv soon. I was thinking last night and it hit me for like 1 sec that i could be preg this month them got realy scared about having 3 kids but it past as fast as it came over me.

angel~ Sorry you are feel so sad it realy is soo hard when you want some think so bad and it happens to every 1 else but you. When we were TTC the LO my DHdidnt want to talk about it and would do any thing at all to chang the sub. I found out after we had him after trying for 22months that he was scared of having another. Some time men just dont like talking about things like that I hope you do get to talk to him and get every thing from your mind.

Congrats to all the lucky and very deserving ladies!!!!

Angel > I understand completely how you feel when it comes to DH, mine is exactly the same lol. He kinda want to show interest in the matter but rather stays oblivious to it and then he doesnt have to be to involved in the emotional side of TTC just the fun parts. Atleast my DH was fine with the SA so he went for it easily.

But since then i have been trying to get him to agree to try out the Sperm meets Egg plan but he feels like we are trying to hard, and in my eyes there is no thing as trying to hard in TTC.

Any how, good luck with DH, atleast they make up in many other areas

AFM > Ok so im starting Soy next cycle, but im trying to find some in the shops. So i visited a health shop yesterday to see what they have, and they had two types:
1) 40g Soy Iso
2) 100g Soy Iso ? but it also included Angus Cactus. Is it ok to drink both at once or is it better to just take soy on its own?

What is the suggested dosage to start of with? I currently respond to 50mg Clomid.

 

[tmr1234]

Go with the 40mg 1s i have read some where that soy and angus cactus are not ment to be taken togther when ttc i would start with 40 then up it as you fell to may be 40 1st day then 80 next and so on but not past 200mg

congrats, i got my bfp yesterday too after relaxing a bit more this time and i was very shocked as i had no symptoms and thought i was out! i also have pcos and took soy first time and from my chart actually didn't think i ovulated at all or quite late, but it obv worked and temps were confusing!
good luck, have you rung doctors yet?

 

[Tella]

racheybabe > Congrats to you too, wow soy seems more and more promising everyday!!! Hope i can also add to the 1st cycle success rate

 

[tmr1234]

Right can some one tell me what they would think of this.

yesterday opks wre + same colour on each line today opks+ test line darker than outher line.
This morning woke at 4:45 and temps was 36.40 but i was frezzing DH took all the blanket pulled it off him went back to sleep woke at 6:15 temps was 36.82 i normaly temp at 5:15-5:45 and it has never been any diff but wich temp should i take as the real 1 if it is the 1st i didnt ov but if it was the 2nd i did. OMG why is it so hard i have been doing this for over 4 yrs.

 

[Tella]

tmr > have you tried the temp adjuster on FF? Maybe it can give you a good indication what it would have been if it was taken at the right time. I think you surge is just longer than normal so you possibly are about to O or have just O'd and your surge will go down. Keep on having fun untill you have 3 days of continious thermal shifts then you know for certain you O'd and also when. Hope it helps, even after 4 years i dont think it becomes any easier just more routine

That is what i read as well, as angus brings on AF and soy makes you O so i will rather just go wiht the plain one. Thanks for the advise on the qty's, i think im gonna do 80mg, 120mg, 160mg, 200mg, 200mg for day 3-7. Fx'd it will work

 

[tmr1234]

Good luck and thank you i dont like adjusting temps as it dosnt make them right i tryed it 1s befor and it just didnt work i am going to go with my 2nd temp i think as i was realy frezzing think DH had the blancket ALL night so that is why i got a low temp and the temp out side has changed as well.

Angel - I am sorry you are having a rough time. My DH can be the same way sometimes, if I am upset sometimes he gets jokey and sometimes it makes me feel better, but sometimes I want him to be serious too.

Tella - I agree I would just use the soy. I did my first cycle this time and did CD2-6 starting at 120mg, went up to 160 for CD3 and did 200 CD4-6. Good luck!!

Rachey - congrats!!! H&H 9 months to you!

TMR - Argh that's so frustrating when stuff like that happens! I'd go w/the 2nd temp, and I guess you'll find out for sure if that was right soon or not depending on what they do from here on out!

AFM - CD9 and still freakin' bleeding.... I am so done with this period! Yesterday afternoon it was lighter but heavier again overnight. I have started OPKs since it's my 1st time doing soy I want to make sure I know what's going on with my body. Of course all neg so far, just the faintest of lines. I am going to be out of town with DH next week from Tues-Sun which is fine but my mom will be staying with us Thurs-Sun as well - aka CD13-16. Hoping I don't ovulate then, and also trying to figure out how I'm going to temp when we're staying in the same hotel room as her! I think I'll just walk very calmly with my mouth closed to the bathroom and do it in there, I know it might mess me up some but she would certainly wonder what the heck all the beeping is from the bed And if it's the right time, DH and I will have to find some way to get away to DTD! Crazy. Of course since I haven't O'd since who knows when, I guess I'll cross that bridge when I get to it!

 

[herald3]

TMR - I would BD just in case. Err on the side of caution. But yes, it is frustrating!

Maui - I'm in a similar situation as you with your traveling (mom in the room). We're going to stay with my in-laws this weekend. I will be on CD 6-8, so I'm hoping I wil be fine, but since this is my first time taking soy, I'm not sure how it might affect ovulation. Good luck to you. I will say that some thermometers aren't as loud as others (my husband doesn't even wake up when I use mine...then again, maybe he's just a sound sleeper). I'm just worried about having to BD while we're there. Good luck to you...let us know how it goes.

Rachey - CONGRATS!

AFM - I'm on CD 3 (took first soy last night...120mg). This morning my temp rose 0.8 degrees (yesterday it was 96.3...today it was 97.1). I temped twice to make sure. I'm normally in the 96.5 degree range. I'm hoping it was just because last night was a warmer night here...and that I'm not ovulating on CD 3!

 

[autigers55]

Angel - My DH is the same way. He doesn't want to have a serious conversation with me and he also doesn't understand how heartbroken I am about not being able to conceive, the only time we talk about it, is right before bding. So don't feel bad about ranting, especially since everything you have gone through.

Tmr - My temp 3 days ago was 96.1 bc of the cold and sleeping with my mouth open. Today mine was 96.49 bc I didn't sleep under the covers much last night, but the last 2 days were in the 97s and I was under the covers and my mouth wasn't open. If I was in your situation, I would just wait and see what temp I get tomorrow and then decide which one was right bc the cold could have affected your temp.

AFM - I'll be taking my 3rd dose of soy tonight, and hoping the oral sugery I have Friday won't mess anything up before I go to the dr on Mon about my progesterone levels. I'm afraid he's going to yell at me for taking soy, but I don't care bc it helped me O for the first time in several months.
