me? no, i haven't gotten my bfp yet. I'm hoping for this cycle though. I'm 5dpo and will be testing 8/13 when AF is 4 days late...if she's late!

Have any of you ladies heared of using soy with a underactive thyroid? My dr. said mine is in the normal range but on the low side.

I have an underactive thyroid and take thyroid replacement therapy. I took soy and had no complications. Even got prego the 1st month. I wouldn't hesitate to try it!! Best of luck!!

haha ok..."pregnancy brain" is no myth... i couldnt remember if you had already gotten a + and i forgot, or if i missed it, lol. 4 days late is late! i got my at 11dpo.

I'm so sorry to hear about the dr. saying that. I'd agree there always still a chance to get pregnant. I know a girl who a dr. told her the same thing and she is now 10 weeks pregnant.

Your cycles sounds like mine. I've completely stopped ovulating and getting an af. I havn't had an actual af since before having my daughter. I'm trying to loose weight and diet since seems to help most people with pcos. And this is the most I've ever weighed in my life so I think that has something to do with this all.

Soy is fine for people with PCOS as long as you are taking it like all of us are. Just as you would clomid. Clomid is recommended all the time, as well as Femara. The problem with soy lies with continued use over your entire cycle, as with being a regular staple in your diet. Try cutting out SUGAR and processed foods. Big no no for people with PCOS. Add Royal Jelly/Bee pollen and Maca root to your diet and you'll be prego in no time. But.....the insulin/blood glucose system is a little haywire with PCOS and going low carb for a while can make all the difference. Just a bit of personal experience. Best of luck!!

Yea, 4 days late would be late but I don't want to waste hpts. Believe me, you'd know if I'd gotten my bfp. My tickers would be updated instantly! lol. My usual LP is 14 days and I chart my temps too so I can generally tell by about 12dpo if my temps are going up or down anyway. If my temps were still high, I'd definitely cave and test early! hehe

Fingers crossed for some twins!

dont let temps deceive you though... my + cycle my temps were the lowest they had been in my 6 months ttc...

and to satisfy the testing... i bought a ton of dollar tree tests so i could test every day lol! when i had gotten faint lines 2 days in a row, i used a first response... and waited a few days after that to use a digi... the dollar tree ones totally work! i used their OPKs too. they also worked for me!

i have some ics too but I would still rather wait until AF is late and not waste them. Good to know about your temps being low though....was it during the winter or anything though? My average temps are higher now than they were six months ago but that's just because the average temp outside is higher too...

it was winter... but san diego winter isn't really "winter" lol. my temps now are still the same as they were in winter... about 97.6 avg,... and thats 8 months pregnant in 80 degree weather lol.

ohhh i had ICs too... 10miu ones... those worked too lol.

 

[gardenofedens]

Oh yea, San Diego winter certainly isn't winter like it would be elsewhere, lol. Temps are pretty temperate up here in the Bay Area too. I just changed my chart overlay to see the difference in temps and they're actually spot on....weird, I could have sworn they were higher now. Oh well, my mistake.

Have you picked a name for your little girl? We're going to name our first Abigail.

 

[prettymachine]

I think our lowest temp where i live was about 36 this winter. I of course was miserable, anyone else from anywhere else probably would have just needed a light sweater lol.

my little girl's name will be Sydney Rhiannon
