Floridagirl- that's great that your test came back in the normal range and that the dr is going to give u extra progesterone!!! F'xd for u!!

 

[mrsp1969]

I would say it is possible you O'd already or that you a fixing too. I would bd just to be safe though. FX'd you caught/catch an egg!!

AFM - I'm getting a little annoyed. I'm not one to get jealous, but it seems like everyone on here and facebook are getting their bfp's this month and it's making me go crazy, especially the ones that haven't been trying very long and the ones who are not mature enough to be parents. I dont know if I can take seeing anymore, especially since our 2 yr ttc anniversary is coming up. Sorry to be a downer, but it just sucks seeing bfp's knowing I have to wait a week and a half to test.

Hopefully, since this month seems to be fairly lucky, all of us who are in the 2ww get our bfp's this month too.

hi i know how you feel a friend of mine on facebook just announced her pregnancy her son is 4 months old and this will be number 11 i have 9 in all i dont go on fb its too upsetting xx

Babykiser thanks Hun. Nice to see you back around here again. Hope the docs can help you getting your answers.

Tmr thanks. My temp went up quite a bit today so I think I O yesterday. 1dpo & another 13 days to wait and see what happens.

I have to work today & my children are on holidays. I hate this!!!

 

[Tella]

girls, so i have been MIA for so long, but the stupid got me yesterday. Was a little bummed out as i had spotting on Thursday and thought it might have been IB as i never spot, but obviously it wasn't. The relaxed approach has been easier so far but obviously by not knowing whats going on, we BD enough when it matters.

Now i have to make a decision:
Whether to take soy or not.
First cycle i O'd on CD25 with soy, 2nd cycle on CD19 on 180mg Soy CD3-7.

Now if i take it again i will O on holiday most probably. We are camping and im not sure if i want to have that. But if i don't, i should only O on CD25 and that is the day i see my FS. What do you girls think?
Also this will be my 3rd cycle on SI, what is the longest you can take in consecutively?

Good luck to all you lovely ladies in the 2WW and have fun those approaching O

 

[mrsp1969]

[FloridaGirl21]

thanks TMR, it did drop some this morning

I started my suppositories last night... Terrified of getting a YI, I've heard it's common to get them!

testing Friday, at 10DPO if temps look okay.

Hope everyone is well

 

[messymommy]

I played with FF and if my temp keeps heading up then it will mark me down for O today! I have only 1 OPK in the drawer since we were going to relax this cycle and not use them. I think I will do it this afternoon and see what it says. I hope it's positive since DH is home from work tonight and then not back again till Friday. I don't want to miss it!

Hope everyone is well

It is still realy high so i wouldnt worry at all

 

[autigers55]

tmr - Lol, Oh, I definitely know I will have a better pregnancy than them bc I am not going to be one of those ones who have to constantly complain about every little ache, pain or sickness. I will just be happy I am pregnant and have a healthy baby. So, I've got my Fx'd that I finally get a bfp bc that would be a great way to start out the new year.

Madrid - I know how you feel, I am only 3dpo and I have at least 9 more days to go before I test. I wanted to wait until the 31st, but I am not sure how long my lp is gonna be since it seems to vary or at least it did on soy. Hopefully the day goes by fast so you can get home to your kids.

Tella - Sorry the got you. I took soy for 3 cycles and then I stopped to give my body a break. I tried the relax approach this cycle, but that didnt work too well bc I kept getting annoyed with my opks not turning +, but it eventually did so now I am more relaxed. When I took soy I was oing on or around cd15-17, but now that I am off of it, I O'd on cd 25, which surprised me bc I was afraid I wouldnt O at all without taking soy. GL and hope this last cycle of soy gets you a bfp finally!!


Florida - Maybe the drop could be due to implantation already. I hope this is your cycle too. It would be great to get the one Christmas present you really want.

AFM - Since I am only 3dpo, I am trying to keep myself busy so the days will go by faster bc if I start to wonder whether I am going to get a bfp or not, it goes by super slow. As for symptoms, I really dont have any, other than a few twinges/dull cramps here an there, a backache still and last night I had a lot of creamy cm, more than I have ever had before(sorry tmi). So I've definitely got my fx'd that these may be good signs already.

I'd like to share this with you all. It was posted in one of the testing threads and I think is very good. We should remind ourselves this whenever we decide to test before 9dpo.

 

[FloridaGirl21]

I saw this months ago & have been trying to find it since!! Thanks

 

[autigers55]

That's very helpful. That is why I am waiting til at least 10 dpo before I test.

 

[Babykiser]

Wow!!! It's so strange that it takes so long for that process of implantation to happen!!! Our bodies are amazing!! Thanks for sharing madrid!!!

 

[tmr1234]

[ickle pand]

Nothing much to report for me. Feel like the soy is already doing its thing, even though I've still got 2 doses to take because I'm feeling pressure around my ovaries. Hopefully there's a few strong follies developing in there

 

[Happenstance]

everyone. Sorry for butting in, buy my head is spinning with questions about soy isoflavones so I thought it would be best to ask people who've actually used them rather than continuing with my 'death by google' search!

I'm 30 and TTC #1 for 6 months. The last few months I've started spotting before AF and this month I had a really short LP. I've started taking B-50 complex to hopefully get my cycle back on track (I'm not sure what messed it up in the first place!), but I also heard that soy isoflavones would be worth a shot. Last month I o'd on cd17 and had a LP of just six days. The month before I o'd on cd13 and had a LP of 10 days. So I'm hoping isoflavones might promote ovulation earlier than cd17 and give me a chance of a longer LP.

How have you all found it? Has it worked for you? Has it had any negative effects?

I read that most people take 100mg between cd3 and cd7 - is that right?

Sorry for all the questions but my head's spinning with all the conflicting information on the web

Thanks for listening and hope you can help

 

[Tella]

Hi Happenstance , I've used it for 2 cycles now and both of them i got bad hot flushes whilst taking them and the last cycle i had a dull headache from it as well. But other than that it was fine. My O day in the last cycle was CD19 where i normally only O on CD25 unmedicated so it definitely helped me. My LP is fine so i cant say if soy had anything to do with that.

First cycle i took 120mg on CD 2-4 and 240mg on CD5-6 and O'd on CD25 so no difference. I took 180mg from CD 3- 7 and O'd on CD19 so the last one was definitely better.

Im CD3 today and need to make up my mind if i want to take it again. And at the moment im leaning towards not taking it.

 

[ickle pand]

Happenstance - how are you confirming ovulation? It's unusual for your LP to change from cycle to cycle, its usually the FP that is variable.

This is only my second cycle on soy - the first I took it on CD3-7 and took, 120mg, 120mg, 160mg, 160mg, 200mg. I'm taking the same dosage this month but I'm taking it CD4-8 instead. Apparently taking it on different days changes the effects. I'll try and find the post that explains all the different days for you.

 

[ickle pand]

Quoting this for Happenstance

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.
