Soy Cycle Buddies 2019 <3 1BFP on second soy cycle 2 BFPs Non-soy cycle

[swedengirl]

The nausea sounds really promising! I started getting nausea soon after I implanted with DD!

How you feeling about testing? Think you’ll be able to hold off until after the weekend?

My CP is now medium medium medium so pretty certain I’ve Ovd. Also my CM is In my underwear it it’s also slightly slightly tinged pink. Really really pale though. I wonder if it was Ov bleeding. I’ve never had it before but I had such strong Ov pains both sides this cycle so wonder if that explains it.

I’m going to call Ov though and begin with my B50 complex today.

That definitely sounds like an ovulation bleed. No doubt you’ve had a pretty strong Ov! And with the timing I honestly don’t think this cycle could have gone any better for you. I would def say today is 1dpo for you.

I’m a bit skeptical about the nausea. I have experienced it quite a bit from Ov and implantation would have started from about 5-6 dpo? I wonder if it is pregnancy related or maybe just higher levels of progesterone making feel quesy through the day. It lasted about 3 hours but I’m feeling pretty normal now. I have had an increase in cm the last couple of days where it has been making its way to my underwear but then again cm is so unreliable.

I’m going to try my best to hold out until at least Saturday I will be 9dpo by then. If my cm changes to ewcm by or before then I may try hold of until later. When my cm changes to ewcm I pretty much now I’m out. I really hope I get to make it to Saturday as I really need to pee on a stick! Lol

It’s still early but when do you think you will test?

 

[Tesh23]

Also one more ‘symptom’ is I haven’t had any ovulation pain or cramping so far, which is very unusual as I’ve had it every tww

 

[swedengirl]

More and more I’m inclined to say that symptoms in the TWW mean nothing! Every month I think I feel something different and that I’m pregnant and it’s nothing. It doesn’t stop me symptom spotting though!

It feels like we have switched places as I’m having O twinges still even though I’m 99% certain I’ve ovd. And I never get O pains. Will be interesting to see if no O pains for you is a good sign! Fx it is!

I really hope you can hold out testing as the early testing is so draining. I’m going away on Saturday to stay with family out of the country for a week so I’ll have good distraction. I’m thinking I’ll pack one test I can use on AF due day to stop me early testing. I don’t want them to know I’m trying either so I’ll find it hard to test.

 

[Tesh23]

I completely agree. Tww symptoms really mean nothing until you see thos two pink lines! For ds I had practically zero symptoms. Just sore breasts and creamy cm in the tww and the sore breasts just increased in intensity around af and so did the creamy cm. Otherwise I felt normal until after af was due.

It is interesting to see how things turn out for us with/without Ov Pains! But 7dpo today and my breasts aren’t as tender as yesterday whereas yesterday it was quite painful and that usually is a sign of af. Cm is still creamy but usually changes to more sticky/ewcm around 8-9dpo.

But if af does come I will continue with the softcups and see. This is my 8th cycle trying now. Next will be my 9th! If after 12 months I’ll go for a checkup

It’s great to have distractions during the tww. And being out of the country def seems like the ideal distraction! I hope we both can wait to test!

 

[swedengirl]

It’s my 8th cycle too. We will go get checked after this month. We are on the waiting list for help covered by our healthcare system which would be free but decided to look into going private. We both want to do it but it’s really expensive for just the initial checks (500euros) and we could be called off the waiting list the next day or it could be another 6 months for all we know! We discussed it a bit and our desire for a family is so big that we think it’s worth it maybe at least to know if we have a problem or not. We want 3 or four kids ideally so time is not on our side too!

It’s kind of nice you can see in your CM if AF is arriving. My CM goes watery before AF so when it went watery with DD I was certain I was out but then I got my lines!

I am due to fly home at 10/11dpo so not sure if I should take a test with me or force myself to wait it out...

 

[Tesh23]

500 euros that is quite a bit. But there is no price on family that’s for sure!

I’m def feeling out today. Boobs are less sore, cm was creamy in the morning but changed to sticky in The afternoon. Nausea for a short while in the morning but nothing hectic.

I think you should carry a test with you just in case! You’re def gonna wanna test by then and it will put your anxiety to rest. I think I’m gonna wait until after af to test as really not feeling confident

 

[swedengirl]

Ahhh darn sorry you’re feeling out! But as I said my symptoms with DD made me think AF was coming too so you never know! I think it’s good to wait until AF or at least nearer as the early testing I swear is not good for our mental health!!

That being said I’m having the urge to test already so I think you’re right I should probably take at least one so at least I have one in case I just have to test. I also thought if by some miracle I get my BFP this cycle and by 10/11dpo I’d love to surprise my OH with my DD wearing a big sis top when he gets us from the airport. I know I shouldn’t go there as building up for disappointment but one can dream briefly...

Last night I had the most intense dreams and disrupted/twitchy sleep. Praying it’s some weird early symptom but guessing it’s nothing!

 

[Tesh23]

Aw that sounds like such a great idea! Love the idea of your dd wearing a big sister top to surprise your OH. How are you going? Are you at your family’s as yet?

I had a drop below the cover line today so I’m expecting AF today or tomorrow. And then onto cycle 9! I was thinking about trying soy again but I’m in half a mind about it.

 

[Tesh23]

I’ve decided to try maca from tomorrow as I suspect i have estrogen dominance in the tww. It would also explain my heavy period and clots as the lining may be too thick for implantation. I’m hoping the maca helps to balance out my hormones!

I’m not too sure about doses though... how are you taking it?

Looks like my AF will be bang on schedule tomorrow as I have had spotting throughout today.

 

[swedengirl]

Hey!!

Sorry Ive been MIA its been crazy busy and I’ve not had a chance to get on!

Sorry AF is arriving. I loved maca it made me feel great!! I was so surprised how much energy etc I got from it. I can’t remember exactly what I took, I just followed the dosage on the bottle. I chose a blend of three different colours of maca, red black and something else! I read the different colours have different benefits. I also read to ensure it’s good quality- don’t go buying the cheapest.

I’m 7dpo and doubt I’ll test until Saturday when I’m going home and 10dpo, as right now have no desire to test as so busy! I also don’t have time to symptom spot so not sure if I feel any different so seems maybe it’s good to wait it out!

 

[Tesh23]

That’s great that you aren’t feeling the urge to test yet! It really helps to be super busy. Can’t wait to see your test when you do though!

I’ve got the powdered maca that’s non-gmo and was a bit pricey but not sure if it’s red or black etc I need to check the box!

I may go out and get the capsules later today. Ds is sick with the flu and it feels like I’m coming down with it now too bleh. Hoping the maca helps my energy levels as I really need it right now!

 

[Tesh23]

So I’ve got the black and the Yellow Maca Powder, they didn’t have the red. I put in a teaspoon of each with my rooibos and honey tea and I actually quite like it! I’ve even had a second cup just now lol.

I will have a spoon or two in my tea each morning for the next 3 months and see how things go. I may also try baby aspirin in the tww to help implantation. I really think the soy has messed up my cycles as ever since taking it for the four months I have suffered with horrible pms and heavier periods. It probably reset my cycle into producing too much estrogen. I am going to monitor over the next 3 months and see if it helps. If not I may try vitex to try balance out my cycle again. The only positive is my cycle is pretty regular and predictable.

 

[swedengirl]

That’s great! I’ve heard maca is great at balancing hormones. It doesn’t mimic or get the body to produce any hormones but balance everything out. I really hope it works for you. It surprised me how much it changed my mood and got me in the mood to bd!

So woke this morning with an urge to test. I’m 8dpo and got a convincing shadow. I’m still not hopeful as it is an IC but it’s a bit thicker and clearer than on previous ICs. Although not sure I got it very well in pictures and totally not thinking much of it as been here before with ICs, but makes me hope this is the start! Top is unedited.

 

[Tesh23]

I totally see that! Are you going to do another one tomorrow? I get what you mean about not overthinking it but hopefully in the next day or two that line looks a little stronger!

I really quite like the maca (even the taste lol). Here’s hoping it helps balance out my hormones. Do I take it throughout my cycle? Are you taking B6 after you ovulate? What is it supposed to help with?

 

[swedengirl]

Yes if I can I’ll test tomorrow! I’m flying home tomorrow now, so I guess I will be able to test regardless tomorrow evening but I’ll try to test tomorrow morning. It looks very very like the start of my BFP with DD so although I’m skeptical, my gut is calmly telling me that this might be it.

I stopped taking maca at CD10 this cycle as I got nervous I’d Ov late and I was obviously going away and wouldn’t be with OH. So next cycle when neither of us are due to be away I’ll take it all cycle. I take B50 complex after Ov to try and help with progesterone levels and lengthen my LP. Hopefully!

 

[Tesh23]

Hey Sweden! Did you test this morning?

 

[wantingagirl]

Hiya..... can people tell me about soy please? I’m not sure how keen I am on how much more I should add into things? I was taking Maca before but maybe I’ve been taken the wrong one it was maca root capsules organic from eBay but my mate says it has to be from the indies ive had spotting for years in 2ww so I took a break from It not sure if I should go back to it or not. I’ve started taking this

Also for last 2 months my temps have been on lower side of 2ww. Also last 2 months I’ve been getting a peak on cd13 but FF doesn’t confirm ovulation until cd15 when I’ve always ovulated on second peak day I’m worried eggs having issues releasing?? I was on bcomplex 100 maybe it was too high and caused it

 

[swedengirl]

Omg. I literally just got home and tested. It’s gone midnight and there is a clear line!! I can’t wait to use my FRER in the morning!!!

Wantingagirl- I’ll answer you in the morning! I’ve been travelling all day so tired but had to update with my test!

 

[swedengirl]

So I got my BFP!!!!!!!! I can’t believe it. On three tests- even a digital!!!


Im literally here sobbing I thought this wasn’t going to happen!
