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

[Tesh23]

Yes my cramping was more like a mild AF cramping. My boobs aren’t sore anymore either it’s so strange. Like they definitely hurt earlier and I went to shower and had a poke and nothing. So just recorded it as off and on sore boobs.

AF is due 3 September. I’m thinking of testing in the afternoon/evening of 8dpo and then again at 10dpo. If there’s nothing by 10dpo then I will wait for AF as my luteal phase is only 12 days so might as well wait. I got a faint bfp at 8dpo with ds and a strong one at 10dpo so if nothing by 10dpo I’m prob gonna call it as being out.

I have a girls night out on Saturday night so I will have to test before then as well to see if I’m able to have a drink. I will be 10dpo by then

Hi ABC! Nobody on here has tried soy since April. We did have one bfp on the second cycle of soy (I’m not too sure which brand annababe used you may have to just look back nearer to the beginning).

Sweden got her bfp on a cycle using maca, q10, omega 3&6.

The brand of soy I used when trying for my ds was the solgar brand but it’s not available in SA anymore. So I tried femolene (menopause meds that contained pure isoflavones) and the Vital brand menopause supps that also had a high concentration of isoflavones. I tried for 4 months with no luck and messed up my cycles (which were absolutely perfect no pms etc) so u stopped and just tried naturally. This is my 9th cycle trying and I’ve done maca (black and yellow), folic, q10 and baby aspirin(to help my lining not thicken too much as I began having large clots during af which isn’t good for implantation). I’m going to be trying this for this cycle and next if no bfp. I may consider trying soy one more time if the maca doesn’t help balance my cycle.

I think your testing plan sounds great Tesh. How you feeling today??

Hi ABC! Hope you get another soy baby!

Hi ABC! Hope you get another soy baby!

I’m feeling pretty great hey. My mood is so positive it’s like nothing could get me down. I even received some bad news today and I just still feel so calm and positive - almost like a small high lol! I haven’t even taken the maca yet today

I’ve got increased creamy cm today bit nothing else to report really. My boobs are slightly sore sometimes through the day and then nothing. It’s like off and on - but even when they do feel a bit sensitive it’s not really painful if you know what I mean. By now I would def have sore boobs along the sides that I would definitely be taking notice of. The maca in the tww is awesome! I don’t even mind if it expands my lp! I’m feeling out this cycle bit still happy but not happy because I’m out but happy because I feel so positive about everything.

I am looking. Forward to testing on Wednesday though. Oh I have been having on and off twinges around ovaries but that has happened in previous cycles nothing too noticeable

 

[Tesh23]

How are you feeling?? Are the pregnancy hormones really starting to kick in?

 

[Tesh23]

Oh one more thing... I feel
Sweaty. And I hardly ever sweat! Like it takes a lot for me to get sweaty (heavy exercise). The sweat thing happened only during pregnancy with ds. But I think it’s too early to be a symptom yet, but I do feel it’s a symptom of increased progesterone which should mean that the maca is definitely balancing my hormones. Hopefully!

Hiya

The brand I used was called Zipvit. I'll add a photo of the ones I had.

So glad your feeling positive this month Tesh, really hoping it's your turn soon!

Hope all going ok for you Sweden!

All good here. 21 weeks now, its passing fairly quick. Still have on and off days with sickness but its settled alot now.

Look forward to seeing your tests Tesh, everything crossed for you x

 

[swedengirl]

Glad you are feeling good on the maca!! Will you keep taking it if AF comes for you new cycle? I hope it doesn’t though- I have a good feeling for you this month!

I’m really suffering with sickness. It’s hit early and strong this pregnancy. I sat and cried this morning as it was too much. I know I shouldn’t complain as it’s a good sign and I’m so grateful to be pregnant but it’s a bit overwhelming right now and feel bad to my DD as I’m barely functioning and had to take the day off work.

Thanks Anababe

21 weeks! Surely it can’t be... how quickly has time gone? Soon you’ll have your little one in your arms.

Aw Sweden sorry it’s been rough today. I think you’ve got to cut yourself some slack, it’s tough being pregnant and having to deal with all the sickness and symptoms, even tougher having to look after our little ones at the same time. I’m sure your dd will be fine, you have to take some time for yourself if you need it and not feel too guilty about it.

Have you told anyone (friends or family) about your pregnancy as yet?

I have had mild ad cramping yesterday evening and this evening. Just felt a sharp pin prick sensation for a couple of seconds above my pubic bone, then again ten minutes later, made me yelp ‘omg’ lol. Followed by a tightening sort of feeling in my uterus and now it’s gone back to mild cramps off and on.

 

[Tesh23]

Decided to do a test on a whim so I have something to compare it to tomorrow.

Having some dull cramps and backache today

 

[swedengirl]

I’ve told a couple of friends and then my OHs mum saw me on Saturday and asked me straight away! I’m really bloated so look pregnant already! I can’t lie to her so she knows too. Which is great as now I can call for help if the sickness gets too much!

Tesh I swear I see a line on that test!!

I was just gonna say it must be great that your OH’s mum knows as she can help out. That’s definitely a relief!

I see a line as well in the pic And irl.. it showed at about a minute, but from my past burns with tests I’m taking all these barley there lines with a pinch of salt until I see something more solid. I will at least have something to compare against when I test tomorrow evening/afternoon.

Are you or did you have any dull cramping and lower backache? I’ve had it since the morning and it feels like a milder version of af cramps, but I almost feel like I’m going to get af tomorrow. They were only there for a little while at night these last two nights but this started this morning and is still carrying on off and on. If I’ve cramped in my cycle before it’s on been very subtle and very brief and didn’t last more then a few mins.

It could also maybe be the maca? If my cm turns to sticky/ewcm I’m prob gonna count myself out. It should start to change to that tomorrow 8dpo or 9dpo latest. Boobs are also just off and on sore sometimes I notice tenderness sometimes they just feel normal, just a little swelled up.

Time will tell... but I’m def going to continue with the maca for at least one more cycle and see. I found the Red Maca so I’m going to order it so long

 

[swedengirl]

Yes I got some back ache around the time AF was late!

Can’t wait to see your test tomorrow! I totally get not reading too much into the faint lines.

 

[Tesh23]

Still having backache this morning.

8dpo morning test - 2 mins unedited

 

[Tesh23]

Also cm has turned sticky so not a good sign for me usually. More consistent tender boobs today but not overly sore.

 

[swedengirl]

I still think I see a line! But I can remember you have been burnt by those tests before, so totally think not reading into them is the best way to go.

I would say my CM was totally different with this pregnancy than with DD so don't read too much into CM.

 

[Tesh23]

Thanks Sweden! That darn shadowy line appears within a minute but def not getting my hopes up.

Yesterday at 7dpo I napped for 2 hours in the afternoon And by 9pm I was literally falling asleep sitting up. I had a burst of energy this morning but now that it’s afternoon I’m feeling sleepy again.

Also still have increased bowel movements which I’ve only ever has during pregnancy. I’m not the most regular person either! Lol

 

[Tesh23]

9dpo fmu no edit

Think I’m out this month. Boobs are tender now and cm had become creamy/watery.

Only consolation is I get to probably drink on my evening out tomorrow! Lol
