Hey ladies, I started soy this cycle. I am on cd4 and took 80mg tonight and last night. Will increase to 120mg tomorrow and Friday, and then 160mg saturday.

I was just curious to people's experiences with soy. Thanks is advance. :)
 
It's helped me so much! It brought ovulation day down from CD48 to CD22, then to CD18, and now CD16. I had super strong o pains this cycle and I have a good feeling so FX'ed. I took 120mg on CD2-6. I find that works the best for me. Are you really irregular? Good luck!! :flower:
 
Thanks taylor! I read in another post you were 20.. so am I! FX for you!! I ovulated cd39 last cycle so hoping this gets it to a more normal ovulation date.
 
Awesome!! :) Oh yeah it should bright it down. Are you charting? The first cycle I took soy, I had TONS of ewcm! It was insane lol, hopefully it does the same for you.

sending you lots and lots of sticky baby dust
:dust: :dust:
 
THANKS! I dont think I have ever had EWCM. I have had like wet cm and maybe a little ewcm but a ton of it would be awesome! lol I am trying to chart but I did it wrong yesterday and this morning, I got mad at OH and ran out of bed before I remembered to temp. I will pick it up again tomorrow since af is gone and it is time to get fo real.

I just dont know when to start using my OPKs. I was gonna use one everyday twice a day until I ovulate but I only have enough OPKs for like 35 days and worried it wont come that quickly if I start now.
 
I'm still waiting on AF, super long cycle for me. Trying soy when it does come.. I was just curious if it shortens your cycle too Taylor? xx
 
Oh yes. If you ovulate early you will get your period earlier than usual. Your LP (days between ovulation and your next period) never changes, only varies a day or two. The average is 14 days. So lets say you ovulate on CD20 with a 14 day LP, you'd get your period on CD35, even if you're used to having 50 day cycles. When you get your period always depends on when you ovulate. xx
 
I am super nervous about my lp.. 8 days is not enough to sustain a pregnancy. REALLY praying that the b6 and b complex help me out.
 
Oh I hope so hun. I've heard it helps a lot. Even if you can get it to 10 would be amazing.
 
It really would be. I guess only time will tell. I am really excited to finally be starting a new cycle. My dr told me though to test in the morning with FRER just to make sure. So I will do that. if BFN I will finally believe it was real af and I actually started on another cycle. lol. So excited either way!
 
Thanks Taylor, that's good new as I don't even know was CD I'm on but It's 60+!! Miss my old 29 day cycle :( Took a hpt this morning like a fool, got an evap.. thought it was gonna be pos.. not getting my hopes up! I'm my AFs biggest cheerleader atm, just want it to come!! xo
 
Goodness, have you gone to the doctor?

No, I've been hoping it'll come on natural. This is the second time I've ever had a long cycle so I'm hoping it's not forever.
I've had spotting the last couple of days, mostly brown blood and very light so I assume it's coming! But I've been silly and googling it and brown discharge is very common in early pregnancy, trying to convince myself :wacko: but I'm not convinced yet! Google should be taken away from me!! xo
 
Google should be taken away from ANY woman ttc.

Wow.. it is one in the morning. I must go to bed. Have a good night ladies! I shall be here tomorrow. :)
 
Lollipop do you chart? If not, you should definitely do so to see if you're even ovulating. You may have recently so maybe AF will come.. if not you'll just have to keep waiting. If I were you I'd go to the doctor and get progesterone so you can start a new cycle with Soy. I would chart with soy for sure so you can see if it actually worked for you. xx

Yeah, I'm swaying towards charting! Just need to get my head round it, so confusing! I assume I ovulate as before my long cycles I got peaks on my CBFM and pos OPKS but haven't been testing O since long cycle cos I must be ovulating later.. I do get EWCM but I'd love to chart as it seems to be the most reliable source. Do I just get a regular thermometer?
Honestly, someone should do TTC classes.. they'd make a fortune. Never realised how much I'd need to know when i started all this haha xoxo
 
It's very very easy. All you do is take your temperature at the same time every morning with a basal body thermometer (Which you can get at drugstores). Regular ones will not work as they are not sensitive enough. (trust me I've done trials lol, and they need to read 97.77) You simply add the temperature into www.fertilityfriend.com

From the first day of your period to ovulation, estrogen is the dominant hormone, which is the "cool" one. From the day after ovulation until your next period, progesterone takes over, which is the "warm" one. The day after you ovulate, you get a temp rise of at least .4 degrees, which will stay up until AF or will drop a few days before hand. The days between ovulation and your next period is called your luteal phase (LP). This never changes, but only varies a day or two.

With FF, you get crosshairs after 3 raised temperatures confirming ovulation. You can look at my charts for examples. You'll notice there is a definite difference in temperatures, that's how you can tell you ovulated.

Charting is super easy. It is a lot more stressful NOT knowing what's going on and if/when you're ovulating instead of not knowing. A lot of women have shorter LPs and ovulate on different days each cycle and they BD on the wrong days.. it's good to know this kind of stuff when TTC. Charting has helped me TONS, especially with my long cycles. Hope I explained it for you xx
 
EEEEEEKKKKK! ive just done soy from days 3-9 today is my 10th day and ive started get O pains already & i tested yesterday with no line on my OPK and now today my OPK is almost (still little faint) as dark as the normal line :( my temp is on the rise as i can feel it (not doing bbt im pretty intue with my body) :( im booked for a U/S tomorrow to check up on my follicles and hoping theyve grown and matured well enough, and also along to see gyno as well but... DP doesnt come home till monday.... UH OH how do i stop O? just a couple days??? and my EWCM is on the rise EEEEEEKKKKK

question- how long after you start POAS that it take for the lines to match up and be a strong indication? will i make it in time? im going to try upload a pic

:babydust: to all x
 
Your temp doesn't rise until the day AFTER ovulation hun, it actually sometimes dips down during ovulation. It's your basal body temperature that matters which is after you wake up. Your temperature throughout the day does not matter. I don't think you can stop ovulation. Hope you can catch the egg!
