I'm irregular too and O late. I did soy CD 1-5 and 160,160,200,160,200 ..first 200mg gave me a headache the next day so i chickened out and i lowered my dose to 160mg and last day decided that i'm not gonna care about the headache and took 200mg again LOL. I ovulated 4 days earlier than last cycle and had very strong O pains. I'm in my tww now

please do let me know how it works out for you, went to tesco last night and bought some says on it 40mg so will take four for 5 days next cycle as I'm already 'halfway' through this one lol. Are the headaches really bad with these? One other thing is it ok to change dose each day? GOOD LUCK WITH 2WW xx

Thanks! I need all the luck and dust and everything i can get! LOL
All women are different. For me only 200mg was the dose that gave me a headache. I took it before bed and the next day i had a headache almost all day but it wasn't a killing headache, it was just there and it was annoying
Of course you can always take painkillers. You just try and see which dose works the best for you. You can take different dose everyday but like BeautifulD said you should then just increased it everyday. I will definitely let you know how it works out for me.
PS! My Soy buddy ended up with bfp, we took it together for the first time When does your next cycle start?

Yes she had a shorter cycle than me and she got her bfp first month trying it, she's around 6weeks now So now we are waiting to see my outcome. I'm so nervous. My BDing wasn't perfect this month but still hoping for my first bfp ever
If i don't get lucky this month then sure we can be buddies I will find out in 3-7 days Sorry if you said it already but do you temp?

 

[CG29]

I don't temp because when I read about it don't mean to sound completely dumb but I didn't understand how it works also it said about the same time each day, so I thought well I'm a care assistant and would have messed up work hours so when I would get round to it the times would be different everytime I wake up. Was just saying to my other half about maybe looking into it a bit more. You will have to let me know in the next few days I have my fingers crossed for you x

Thanks! Keeping mine crossed too lol. Oh you should definitely temp, it's the greatest thing ever invented. I don't know what i would do without it. I could definitely help you understand how it works, it would make your life so much easier and you would understand your body and cycles much better. With temping you can find out if and when you ovulate, when to expect your AF, if your LP is long enough for successful pregnancy etc.
Do you work night and day shifts? What kind of work schedule do you have?

Must be worth a try if its the greatest thing in the world lol would be great if you helped me uderstand it more . I work early mornings, mid-day and overnights really mixed. X

It is the greatest thing i'm telling you LOL Oh wow it is very mixed, i didn't expect that lol. I guess you never have definite 3h sleep..like from 4-7am? Because with temping you need at least 3h of sleep and women who have shift work use alarm clock to take it at the same time. But you have 3 shifts Do you work 3 different shifts in 1 week or how? Just trying to see if it's even possible for you to temp...

the way it works is Long day = 7.45am-8.15pm, early 7.45am-2.15, late 1.45pm - 8.15pm (they would be easy to do my temp early as I do get a good few hours sleep) then there is the nights 8pm-8am I would do 2-3 nights a week then maybe a few of the other shifts thrown in there, its the nights that would mix me up as I sleep when I get home until the afternoon. I don't work everyday so it would just be 2 or 3 at most of the night shifts. I varys a lot as I'm 'bank' which means I've no set days I just work what I'm needed to. Does the same time really matter? xx

That damn night time shift lol They say it's the best to temp at the same time and after at least three hours of sleep.
Ok here's what you should do: you should start temping the first day of your af. The days you have normal shifts set your alarm to 5am or whatever time you usually get up to go to work. But all these long, early and late shift days alarm have to be at the same time (example 5am) Now when you do the night shift, then that day take it after you have slept at least 3 hours (maybe you could even set alarm for that, example 4pm). And then you mark it on your chart. So basically since you can't do the same time all month long, then we will try 3h sleep temping and see how it works out and if we can read your chart like that. It takes time to get the hang of it. Do you have https://www.fertilityfriend.com account where to save your temps?

Ok sounds good think over the next couple of days I should get all of this organised as I don't have an account on fertiltyfriend, I have work in the morning and its 11.20pm so going to get some sleep and will get back to you tomorrow when I sent up that account, thank you so much for your help on this xx

 

[IceQueen86]

No problem

 

[Kala87]

Ok so i took soy on days 2-6, 100, 150, 200, 200, 200. On cd7 i was experiencing what i think was ovulation pain but surely cd7 would be to early. It lasted about a day and it was slight twinges on my hand side, its something i've never experience before which is why i noticed it. Do you think this is normal

 

[CG29]

Hey IceQueen86 so I got an account on fertility friend, I think its great how it gives you a summary of where you are in your cycle and the way you can put your symptoms on there, now just to get a digital therm...is it ok just to get one from tesco or is a special one required for this? x

 

[BeautifulD]

You need a bbt thermometer one that reads like this 36.56 I've tried with the 36.5 ones and they are not specific enough... You can get them off ebay for a couple of £

Hi CG , exactly what BeautifulD said, it's important that you get bbt thermometer. This way your results will be more accurate I forgot do you have your Soy already?

Btw you can browse around in FF (fertility friend) if you click on Chart Q&A , there they talk about how to chart and all kind of other good stuff
Are you getting excited already about your first temping and soy cycle?
