wow elliots mum, that's an awesome find with some really interesting stats!!

 

[Glowstar]

With regard to testing, how many dpo are you?? I wouldn't start until 10dpo xx

With regard to testing, how many dpo are you?? I wouldn't start until 10dpo xx

im not sure... thats just it - OPK's were continously negative so im completely guessing! i would say *guesstimate* 8 or 9 DPO at the moment....

also, sorry for you loss i know how hard it can be! think positive xx

 

[Elanesse]

Hi ladies,

Hope you are all ok, just thought I would check in. Thanks for all the advise about whether I should change my soy plan this month. I decided that I would change it slightly... I am going to take the same dosage, but try it CD4-8 instead of 5-9. When I say decided, I mean I opened my meds cabinet last night to get a plaster, saw the soy, and thought 'ahh what the hell!'.

Glowstar - just to let you know ice88 contacted me by PM. She's decided to take vitex and maca this cycle but I've let her know how Soy has done wonders for me and she may try it in the future

Elliots.mum - FX for you hun. I'm a POAS addict so I would start when you think you are 9/10 DPO. I'm trying CD4-8 this time so I hope its lucky for us x

Crystal - Glad to see soy has helped your cycles too, I usually have ridiculously long cycles too. Hurray for soy!! Just wish I could take it every cycle without the fear of it causing any problems.

Debzie - Sorry for your loss

x

Oh and glowstar, I don't think I've actually posted this before (just thought it), but I am so very sorry to hear of your loss too. Hope you are bearing up ok xx

if opks were negative, are you sure you OV'd?

Hey girls, first day of first cycle on soy today, there are so many positive stats on it!
Iv been charting and opking for five cycles now and not once have I had a definite positive opk. There's been a surge, but nothing more. However my temps show a clear sustained increase on and after day 14, along with ewcm, so something must be happening! Just not sure I trust opk's.

Elliots.mum that link to the cervix pics is so good! Iv never checked mine bcos Id never had a clue what I was feeling for!!

Debzie, so sorry for your loss x x

Thanks for the advice girls
I've had a strange few days. What I thought was a UTI got much worse pain wise, it was not in my bladder but in my left groin area and back. At times it left me doubled over and unable to walk. It was still pretty bad on Friday (10dpo) so I went to the walk in centre as I wanted to make sure there was no infection. Cue 3 and a half hours of waiting they then told me my urine tests were negative for infection and proteins. After a physical exam we figured out that the pain was coming from my left ovary.

They sent me straight to hospital to see the gynae consultant for further checks, they think I have a large/ruptured cyst or twisted ovary but I have to wait for a scan on Monday to find out exactly what has happened (it was after 5:30pm when I arrived and the sonographers don't work weekends). Thankfully the pain started to ease off on Friday evening so I'm just taking it easy at home. I've had a few twinges today in my ovary but more irritating than painful.

Not sure where this leaves me this month, the positive thinker in me is saying that the corpus leutum was making me uncomfortable because of all the hormones it is releasing. The negative thinker says that the egg I should have ovulated this month has got stuck on the ovary and formed a large cyst.
On the up side, my temps shot up again this morning - triphasic? I have been testing since 9 dpo, all BFN so far, however on this morning's test I swear there is a thin grey line. Probably an evap but I've never had one before and I've used about 50 of these Internet cheapie strips over the past 6 months. This 2ww is the most up and down yet..! Baby dust to everyone x

Your chart does look good tho, should of posted a piccy of your test so we could squint

 

[Scholesy]

I tried to get a picture of it, but my digital camera needs a new battery and the quality on my phone camera isn't very good. Can't get the line to show up on camera, it is very light, and more grey than pink. Hoping it's the start of something x

debzie - I am so so sorry for your loss

elliots mum - i wouldnt test until i thought AF was overdue... I am very good about these things though! Its hard to say for you since you dont know when you o'd. Cervix pics are incredible! I have so never have CM like that though How long have you been TTCing #2? Did you have any issues with TTC#1?

crystal - i have had false positives with opks before. are you temp charting? And big yay for the early O!!!

elanesse - haha i like how you decided when to take the soy! i started taking it last night so we are soy buddies this cycle

lucyoz - i started taking soy last night for first time too. another soy buddy OPks dont work for me. Temp charting is far more reliable. I got pregnant where the due date matched by temp charting O date and an opk was negative

scholesy - you have had a strange/bad few days. Your temp chart does look very good. Hopefully scan on monday might be able to tell if you are utd or not? Can you remind me how much soy you took?

Started the soy last night. I feel a bit weird this morning - one of my feet has pins and needles and so does one of my eyes (for want of a better way to put it). I hope I'm not getting a migraine. Feel a bit nauseous too and dont feel like eating. Anyway, I am very excited about this cycle. I so hope it brings O forward and gives me some nice EWCM (or any CM really). Also excited to find that two others have just started soy for the cycle as well. go us!!

hey jaz this is the 9th cycle of ttc#2... tooks 4 years and 5 m/c for #1 - already had 2m/c in 9 months and drs wont do sh*t all because of the fact that im 'still young'.... if it was them going through it, it would be another story and they want everything done and tested NOW but no, im just a normal citizen - so thought i would take matters into my own hands adn give soy a try

omg thats so bad. you poor thing Have you tried a couple of different doctors? I am so sorry that no one will help you, let alone everything that has happened. My GP was happy to refer me straight away to a fertility specialist last tome round just because of my cycles being so bad. I was 30. I didnt take them up on it. I only wanted to do that as a last resort. In your case, I would. Surely someone can refer you? or can you book straight into a gyno or something? I'm not sure how accessible these services are to you though (im in melbourne)

did they look in your uterus when they looked at your ovary? or did they not ultrasound the ovary?
