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

[k12345t]

Well, looks like I was wrong about being close to ovulating.... my OPK's are driving me nuts!! I'm up to taking 3 a day because I don't want to miss this surge, lol. In the morning they look 1/2 way there, then get lighter as the day goes on.
I took a pregnancy test thinking that maybe the OPK's were picking up HCG, which would explain why they were darker in the morning, but only see the thinnest & faintest line.. in other words, BFN! I'm not giving up, I just know this is my cycle!!!
I'm attaching the HCG pic just for the heck of it (preparing you for 10 days after I finally get my LH surge and I take ten tests per day and beg everyone to find a line).

How are you ladies doing?

Just wanted to say Hi! Another newbie to soy this cycle...

When I went off the pill last time, I fell pregnant instantly. Not this time, am about to start my third cycle off the pill...I am having 30 day cycles, but my periods are very noticeably lighter, so I am not sure what is going on with my body or even if I am ovulating - hence soy this cycle.

Had a conception reading from Sandra (just for fun) and she reckons I won't conceive til November. Everyone around me is falling pregnant and I am really hoping she is wrong - though I almost feel resigned to the fact.

Ah well. We shall see!

Can I ask...I've taken 120mg soy for theist 3 days, should I increase for the next two or leave it? I'm not sure if I am having problems ovulating or not and my cycles aren't too long. Thanks & good luck! xx

 

[China girl]

I take 120mg for the full 5 days

 

[k12345t]

I took 120 mg each day but don't think I've ovulated yet... next cycle (hopefully there won't be one) I will slowly increase the dose.

Welcome and good luck MissTanya!!!

k12345t on what cd are you? and when do you normally O without soy?

X

 

[k12345t]

Madrid,
There's no normal for me, haha!
I'm approx on CD 20. My last cycle I ovulated on CD 28-30. My cycle before that was a 70+ day cycle, and I didn't use OPK's, so I don't know if I ever O'd. I had EWCM four separate times on that long cycle, each time thinking, "I'm finally ovulating!" My body has been so out of whack that I honestly can't even guess at what is going to happen. It will just make that BFP even more exciting!

Hi everyone sorry to jump in this thred i know its been going quite a while, anyway i was wondering what soy is and where i could get it from/if it is avalibile to anyone?

Charlie, Soya is soya Isoflavones. If you are in the UK I use the Lamberts brand it contains 50mg active soya Isoflavones per tablet.

 

[lollybabe2011]

Any one get hot flushes post ovulation with Soy. I am 8DPO and since yesterday I am getting hot flushes, not feeling warm generally but just sudden surge of heat in a very strange way.

By the way, HPT negative and cervix low at moment.

 

[k12345t]

Lollybabe,
I haven't been there yet, but was thinking this might be a good sign for you!! Fingers crossed!

 

[Madrid98]

Yes I had hot flushes but can't remember exactly how many dpo I was.

k12345t is weird you haven't O yet if you are on cd20 but if you are getting faint positives it shouldn't be long. Do you chart? Has your temp gone up?

X

 

[k12345t]

I don't chart because there is no consistency in my schedule (I am a nurse and work night shifts, so my sleep schedule is all over the place). I do spot check my temps when I first get up and they started around 97.3 degrees, this morning was 97.7. But I've read a lot about not reading into BBT if you don't do it at the same time each morning.

I just bought 50 more OPK's, so I will definitely catch this surge, and then my husband, when it happens!

 

[Kathy1978]

Hey Crazy4Baby I see that you and I are on the same cycle day..maybe we could be buddies? Im new to this forum so Im not sure what to do but I thought it was cool to find someone who matches up on CD's
Good luck and hopefully we can both have some great news this month

 

[k12345t]

Welcome Kathy!! What CD are you on right now?

 

[Kathy1978]

Welcome Kathy!! What CD are you on right now?

Today is CD12..what about you?? The wait for a positive O is worse to me than waiting for a BFP i think...last mo I never got a positive so I doubt I O'd which is a little worrisome... I will be so excited to actually see a positive O this cycle and sometime around CD 15 would be amazing!!!!

 

[k12345t]

I'm on CD 21, last month I o'd around CD 28-30, so getting close!! Hopefully you are too! I know what you mean about waiting to O being as bad as waiting for a BFP-- but at least I get two lines on every OPK, lol.

 

[China girl]

:wave:ladies,

I hope you all are well.

I am a bit fed up.... has not showed and I usaually have a 29 day cycle. As you can see by my temps that !@#$ should already be hear and now FF has given me dotted lines instead of my solid line...grrrr!!!! I really hate my body right now!!!

okay, rant over

 

[Tweak0605]

Can I join you ladies? Another soy newbie trying it out for the 1st time this cycle.

I usually have 35 day cycles, with OV around CD22 after my miscarriages. I'm hoping to get it back to CD17 or so.

I was planning on taking 160 mg from CD 3-7. Should I start off at a lower amount, and increase it as I go along?

 

[3boys]

Hope soy works for all you lovely ladies this month! x x

 

[Crazy4Baby]

hey kathy, I would love to be buddies. Are you trying soy this month?

 

[Kendrae]

Hey ladies! Just wondering if anyone knows the number of lucky girls on this site that got pregnant while taking soy?

I am really considering trying to use it next cycle. Congrats to all who have been blessed with pregnancy, and goodluck to us that are still trying!!
