Resisting the title Wonky Cycles R Us....boarding the Maca Train to BFP Central!

[WelshRose]

For those of you that are taking or are contemplating soy...I've posted a poll in the pregnancy club section asking which days people took it on when they got their bfp....hope now it gets lots of answers

 

[Whitbit22]

Hmm I don't know, I had never thought of that. I drink raspberry tea anyway so hopefully that'd help. I don't know if I should switch days or not because I don't think the soy affected my ov at all. I'd like to get an earlier egg!

Hi everyone, just been catching up. Had a work event yesterday, was up at 4.30am and didn't get home til 7pm....arrghh such a long day!!!

TNT hope you are feeling better soon hun, take it easy and keep resting. It is probably because all your hormones are changing and your body needs to get used to it.

Never I don't put my life on hold for ttc either, if I want to go out and have a drink then I do.

Dandy how are you doing?

Welshie good luck with the soy!

AFM i'm going to have a chilled couple of months while getting this last test done and waiting for OH's results and then as soon as AF starts (unless i'm lucky before) will start the clomid and really try...I would absolutely love a Christmas BFP....and I would love to see loads of others on here get there's too!

I'm pretty sure I've read hun that soy on days 1-5 and 2-6 help to produce more follicules but gives the lil eggies less time to mature and the lining less time...where as days 3-7 & 5-9 mean less follicules...a more mature egg and better lining...I dunno thou.
As I said Linny got her precious Little Little from cd1-5 so it can't be bad.
I think you're supposed to ovulate between 5 and 10 days after the last tablet...I wonder if you took it last time on cd2-6 and ov cd16 whether if you took it on cd1-5 you'd ovulate on cd15????
And I guess maybe you're body may just like cd16...so maybe taking it 3-7 you may still ovulate on cd16?
I think I'm gonna monitor this amongst us in here that are using soy....
So if anyone has used soy this cycle could you let me know what days you've taken it...and what cd you ov on.
And if everyone can give witch due dates opposed to testing dates if they like that would be fab....October is still way to quiet on that front page

 

[WelshRose]

Morning Yazzy....Ugh..such a long day for you sweets

You definately sound like you have a plan babe....Come december that front page is going to be flashing with bfp's just like the twinkly fairylights on the christmas tree

 

[yazzy]

Ahh thanks Welshie, yep I just thought we'll take it easy and if it happens in the next couple months we will be over the moon but if not we know hopefully in December the Clomid can be used and what a Xmas pressie that would be!

With regards to the soy I took 105mg days 2-6 and ovulated on CD37. Sounds late but my normal ovulation in on CD70 something.

When I take the clomid the specialist said to take this cd2-6 but luckily only one pill a day...I was taking 6 soy tablets at a time lol!

 

[Linny]

Evening ladies, its been soooooo easy to catch up the last few days, so quiet!

Ive been really busy, my bros is getting married tomorrow so been trying to make myself presentable. Not sure its working cos i feel like a frump lately.....hence the grumpy Welshie

Yep indeedy Welshie, Little Little was conceived my first month of soy, i took it CD1-5 and ovulated CD17 (though ive been dated at CD15 )

I used to ovulate CD23 ish but the last couple of months had been CD22. When I used my CBFM my first high was CD18 and first peak CD20. The month I used soy my first high was CD13 (NEVER had anything that early!!) and first peak CD16.

That particular month we hardly because I was due to go back to docs to be referred for testing so I don't think our hearts were in it. We didn't till my first high CD13, then CD15 & CD16 and that was all. I actually remember telling you we'd missed our shot cos CD17 we never because we fell out , you said we weren't out and you were right My temps showed I ovulated CD17 but I was convinced it was a day earlier by CM and my stitch pain I would always get!

Also haven't actually been told her heart rate, next time I use my doppler I'l count and let you know

Spark...so pleased Jack was ok about the pram. We have our eye on the Mothercare spin. It seems OH is very particular about what pram we get, and it goes with my free Boots changing bag so I'm happy

Lucy..glad scan went well. I saw my Little Little at 8weeks, just a little blob of a beating heart

Del....can't wait for an update

:wave: everyone

i took mine cd 3-7 just crossing fingers it wo9rks

 

[WelshRose]

Awww Linny...I'm sure you don't look frumpy at all sweets.... What are you wearing tomorrow? There are some lovely maxi dresses out at the moment
Thanks for all that Little Little info....I still don't know what flipping cycle days to take it on........should I give 1-5 a go?...2-6 or 3-7....
At the moment I've still got really intense cramps but only a tiny bit of brown spotting....just wish the damn hag would arrive already
It will be interesting to see what the CBFM says thou...usually I'm on high from about cd11/12 to cd20-something I've only ever had one cycle with two peak days
Ok....I've just peeked at the calendar and if I take it 3-7 it could make it a bit touch and go as to whether I'd be with DH for Ov....I'm off to Mum and Dad's in a couple of weeks time for a few days during half term...so I guess an earlier ov would be good....cd1-5 it is

Hope you have a lovely day tomorrow sweets...enjoy....and I know you will look beautiful xxx

 

[Lucy1973]

Hi

Welshie I was just looking at your chart....how long is luteal phase usually? Will you test again?

Anyone else testing soon?

 

[WelshRose]

Hiya Lucy
My LP is usually about 11/12 days long but I only stopped the norethisetrone (progesterone) on wednesday....todays temp is the first temp without any pills the day before....was expecting a drop but....it's obviously just going to keep me guessing I did test this morning hun...it was bfn. You really can't mistake the cramps thou...definately got a feeling of pointed hat and broomstick about it

How are you doing today sweets?

 

[yazzy]

Welshie - do you want to put me down for testing on October 30th please?

I thought I ovulated a week or so ago but not so sure now as my (sorry tmi) boobs are really painful and this always happens around ovulation and quite alot of cm but its lotiony at the mo...i'm confused so will just test at the end of the month but something is happening yay!

 

[Lucy1973]

Ah Welshie, hope she hurries up then!
I am feeling just awful, but it reassures me too....but blurgh...

Consider it done my sweets....Hope I can add to it in....22 days time

Oh btw....there is no such thing as tmi on this thread...I'm sure I've read lotiony cm happens in the immediate lead up to ovulation before the watery and ewcm....go roll yourself in sweetheart....and get seducing Mr Yazzy

xx

 

[nevertogether]

:wave: hey girls.

 

[WelshRose]

:wave: Never
How's your day been Sweetie?

 

[Linny]

Awww thank you Welshie!

I am wearing a maxi dress, had my roots done today and tomorrow my sister has booked me in for a hair treatment and style. Fake baked too so have a little glow! Feeling better already

I would have said CD3-7 just cos you already get highs so early but if there's a chance DH won't be around CD1-5 will prob be better. It might not even change your ovulation date, it just seemed to work for me and REALLY hoping it works for you

:wave: never, lucy & yazzy

 

[WelshRose]

Awww Thanks Babe

See....I told you you'd look beautiful There are so many lush maxi dresses out there as well....perfect for a special occasion with Little Little on board
Faked baked....do you know hun...that is something that I have never done
I went on the sunbeds before we went to St Lucia to get married and loved it...that was my kinda tanning....no messy business and no laying there for hours sweating it to get the golden glow...obviously working where I work thou I've been paranoid about every mole ever since

 

[nevertogether]

not bad really counting the days until i see DH. not sure what this mornings temp was. i set my alarm, but slept right through it. so curious to see tomorrows and if i have ovulated. i took soy 3-7 and ovulated the same time as usual. this cycle did cd1-5 and pretty sure i ovulated the same time again.

 

[WelshRose]

Not long now Never
Hmmm.....interesting about the soy hun....thankyou
I peeked at your charts earlier on....I'm thinking maybe Ov today????.....Any signs that it may of happened???
