Raven, big I'm so sorry AF showed. I know it's hard every time AF shows instead of getting your BFP. I agree about giving soy a try...maybe it would help things along

Katya, bless your heart. I hope your back feels better soon Try to take it easy.

Thanks Bethany have you decided when you'll test? Xx

I hope I'm going to ovulate soon or Af is going to come x

I used Tesco soy isoflavones (can't remember whether you're UK or not?). They were in a yellow lidded bottle down the vitamin aisle. 40mg per tablet and I took 120mg, 120mg, 160mg, 160mg,200mg on days 5-9 of my cycle. It could just have been coincidence but I think the soy helped my have a stronger ovulation with better egg quality and I got my bfp. They're harmless as far as I can tell and can't harm to try them for a couple cycles. I took them just before bed as some people get headaches xx

thanks- i ordered some yesterday off of amazon, i am not in the uk..but i did however order one with a yellow lid..lol, i didn't even see this post yet. guess i will give it a try this time and do the 5-9 time frame - and thanks for the heads up with taking it at night because i already suffer from terrible headaches...

I never tried soy or anything, but I did use preseed (the "fertility safe" lube) the 1 month we got pregnant. At the very least it definitely helped with the pleasure side of it since we were kind of frustrated and not having as much sex for fun at that point. I sympathize with you Raven. It's been a long road so far and taking a break might not be the worst idea for your own happiness. You are still young though and have plenty of fertile years ahead of you

We have preseed and use it often - i love it actually! but sadly it didn't help us get a bfp. thanks for your post it made me smile

Hi girls...nothing much going on here

Katya, I've thought about testing the last couple of days and I've decided I'm just going to wait for AF to show. If I don't see any sign of her by the beginning of next week then I'll probably test then

 

[bnporter81]

OMG girls, I'm so excited and nervous! I just felt the "need" to test so I used an IC and I thought for sure I could see a faint line coming up so I used a different brand IC test and saw another light line coming up Then I pulled out the FRER and had a light line there as well! The only discouraging part is that after the FRER I used a Clearblue digital and it said "not pregnant". I'm hoping it's just because it's too early for a digi. But there was definitely one on the FRER! I tried taking a pic but I don't think it's showing up with my phone.I'll try to post the pic, but I swear the lines are there! Keep your FX'd for me everyone!

 

[Missbx]

The pics are realy blurry but I've got my fx for you xx

 

[rmsh1]

FX Bethany, I can't see anything but the pics are really blurry

 

[Rachel789]

Ohhhhh I'm so excited for you Bethany!! The pics are blurry but I see lines!!

 

[seabean]

Omg bethany i see lines too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stick bean, stick!!

 

[Diddums]

Omg Bethany!! I think I see a line on the tests. They look as pale aside did at 9dpo, but the pics are blurry, and faint lines never show up well in photos! Was that FMU? Test again using another FRER in the morning with FMU and the line should be darker. I wouldn't bother testing with IC too much. Mine never got dark until I was 18dpo and was starting to panic lol !

Good luck!!! Can't wait until the next photos!!!! And yes could be too early for the digital. The FRER and IC have a sensitivity of 10ul whereas the digital is between 25-50ul depending on which one you use!!!

 

[Diddums]

Forgot to say I waited until 11dpo to take a digital, so two days after a faint positive on FRER xx

 

[mrsc81]

OMG Bethany - I see lines Hope this is it for you

 

[foquita]

waahhhhhh bethany! I see lines on all 3 tests I'm so excited

 

[rmsh1]

OK I am going to re-look at these tests....

 

[rmsh1]

OK if I tilt my screen I think I see something

 

[bnporter81]

Thanks so much everyone. I did another FRER and some other offbrand this morning and here they are. I think they are maybe *slightly*darker, but then again it's only been 12 hours since the last ones.

Katya, I wasn't even thinking of doing any tests yesterday morning when I woke up...then you asked about when I would test and it got me thinkingso all three of those last tests were done around 4 or 5 in the evening, so it's not FMU.

Here are the ones from about an hour ago. I'm getting so nervous. I'll feel better when they start getting darker

 

[Diddums]

Arghhhhhhh!!!!!! OMG Bethany!!!! You got your !!!!!! I can see the lines without squinting. They are the same darkness as my 11dpo ones lots old sticky bean dust to you!!!!!!

 

[Diddums]

I don't even need to zoom in to see the lines! Got a huge grin on my face I'm so happy for you!

 

[foquita]
