Soy Isoflavones! Natures Clomid!

[Betheney]

wow spoomie that does look incredibly promising.

CBMD i think the best way to learn about temping would be to make a fertility friend account (google it) and they have fantastic tutorials and information about why, when and how to chart. They'd say it better than i could.

 

[Spoomie]

Morning ladies., thanks for all your positive wishes. Game over for me though, cd1

 

[Jaz78]

hey ladies

I hope you are all doing well and that many of you have got your BFPs since i was last in here!!

I am 9.5 weeks pregnant and everything is going well - apart from feeling like crap and incredibly exhausted!!

anyway, i wanted to update with what happened with my cycle since it was very unclear but now i have had a dating scan, I know when I must have O'd.

I took soy CD3-7 150mg per night. I *thought* I O'd CD15 as i had all my usual signs and my temp rose after this point, although it didnt rise as much as normal which i thought was just the soy. Thankfully I didnt O then as we didnt DTD anywhere near it. Turned out I O'd CD21 which isnt clear at all from my temp chart and i didnt have any other symptoms! Anyway, I wanted to tell others not to necessarily trust your temp chart or other symptoms (like no CM!) and keep DTD every second day until you are absolutely positive it is too late. It was my first cycle of soy so obviously it messed temps and usual symptoms up.

My cycles were long and irregular so even Oing at CD21 was good for me. Anyway, go soy!! I hope it works wonders for you ladies too

how is everyone doing? my soy baby is due in 18 days! but she will be here before then! i developed polyhydramnios and am getting an induction date on sept 8! my dr told me not to be suprised if i dont even make it to the induction because my uterus is hyper extended from all the fluid! i can't wait to share my soy baby with everyone

 

[Betheney]

i feel bad, after falling pregnant and giving birth to Eva she was a soy baby and then i never came back to this thread........

such a traitor

 

[FloridaGirl21]

hey ladies, haven't commented on this thread in about a week...

prettymachine, how exciting! pls share photos of your LO once she's born!

AFM, I'm 9DPO today, had some bleeding yesterday evening, lasted for abour 3 hours. It was a tad heavier then spotting, but lighter than a 'light flow'. I went to bed with a tampon & there was no more blood this morning, just very lightly tinged brown cm on the tip of the tampon (sorry for the TMI).. I had a small temp rise this morning & my bbs are KILLING me! so hopefully this is it.. I'm testing tomorrow morning! if BFN, then probably everyday till AF is due, I've got like 45 IC HPTs..

So sorry the witch got you. Are you trying soy again I gotmy bfp the second cycle so best of luck i looking for a repeat success.

Cbmd just click on one of our tickers and join fertility friend in adittion if you have any questions feel free to ask. As for the soy depends where you live on what you can buy. In the uk you can get it from tesco or Holland and baretts even seen some in boots. Us i believe wallmart sells it or thete is amazon for the rest of the world. You start it in the first 5 days of your cycle 1-5or 2-6 or 3-7 ( most popular) 4-8 or days 5-9. Last two tends to be for longer cycles. Dosage is an indivudual think as long as you don't exceed 200mg daily. Most women start at 80mg or just above. Hope this helps.

Jaz the month I got my soy bfp my temps were strange lower than before and last cycle was the same on soy. Can't believe your 9.5 weeks allteady.

Betheny don't feel a traitor at the. end of the fay we would not be here if it was not for you. Good luck.

Prettymachine 8 th is my brothers and oh birthday. Can't wait to see the pics.

Florida girl sounds promising I will be waiting and stalking. Fingers crossed.

Afm I had to work through from late shift to.night shift so took my soy this morning read that if you miss a clomid dose take it ASAP then take your the dose as long as you have 12 hours between so will take it again tonight. Not having too many side effects this time. Still spotting and had a super light period unknown for me.

Sorry the witch got you spoomie.

Congrats Jaz! I've been hearing about a few ladies who are having a temp shift but not actually Oing then. Is this common? I thought a temp shift signified definite O as progesterone raises your temps...

How exciting pretty!! Not too much longer!

Florida that sounds v v promising. If it was IB it could take you a few days before you get a pos (3-4 days? I think?). Fxx

debzie I missed a day of soy this cycle too, and took it the next morning and then my usual time that evening. I haven't O'd yet, but all signs are pointing to it happening within the next few days.

 

[FloridaGirl21]

stash, the temp dip & EWCM make it look like O's coming... FXed it happens for you soon!

[FloridaGirl21]

I wouldnt have thought so. Its been reliable for me on all my other temp charts. Like i said though, the temp shift wasnt as high as usual until about a week later - usually its about 36.7 afterwards. Anyway, here is my temp chart for anyone who is interested. According to dating scan i O'd CD21

Sorry I have been absent, past few days, I did catch up a bit.

Spoomie sorry the witch got you, really thought your chart was looking great... My friend and I have decided we need to have an ugly chart, then maybe we will get a +.

Eva, its nice to meet you and its ok that you didn't come back sooner, doesn't make you a traitor, just a trend starter, and without you, we all wouldn't have met.. So thanks!

As for me, I did ovulate on CD 15, so that was about the same, but there have been huge differences.. First of all my body tried or did ovulate 3 diff times, once at CD 6, and then I had 2 diff days of + OPK with a neg in between!! Weird huh?
Second I have had incredible cramps since last night, and still having them today!! Not sure what that means, but hope it good since its different than last 3 cycles!

Good luck to everyone, sorry for all the losses, I understand what that is like, and baby dust to EVERYONE!!
I am now 5 dpo, and already testing because I am a dork and like to POAS!!

 

[BeautifulD]

Good luck amommy

[amommy]

I have a question for all you soy taking ladies.. Did you have cramps after ovulation? like 4-6dpo, that felt heavy, intense achey hot.. like a full feeling that made you feel like you needed to pee??

I was looking for some advice, it has been quite hard to get comfortable.. Thank you!

 

[poppy666]

The first time on soy i cramped from ovulation until i got my bfp.

 

[debzie]

I agree with poppy I had a really crampy spell right from ovulation up until I got my bfp hope its a good sign for you too hun. x

 

[Stash777]

Jaz - so odd how FF didn't put in crosshairs on your chart. I guess that really doesn't matter though seeing as how you got your BFP!

amommy - I usually get crampy from O until AF arrives when I've taken soy. I'm thinking this cycle isn't going to be any different.

AFM, my opk this morning was neg (still a dark line but lighter than yesterday's) and have been having some deep, dull, achey pains in my left ovary. Think I O'd this morning.

 

[amommy]

Thank you ladies for the replies!! Good to know that 2 out of 3 experienced cramps up until BFP!!

Stash do you usually cramp with AF? or in the TWW, or was it much worse with soy?
