Soy Isoflavones! Natures Clomid!

Laura- No it doesn't make all women ovulate earlier it certainly didn't for me. it took a lot of tweaking to finally end up with early ovulations. We're all different

CG... Sorry af came but yay for starting soy! good luck and loads of dust x

 

[IceQueen86]

CG29 - did you test??

BFN!! AF came properly a little while later so started soy gonna do cd2-6 xxxx

Awww i'm so sorry But yay for starting soy. I took my last dose on tuesday Are you planning to start temping too?

Happy I'm started on it, let me know how it goes ...I'm currently away for valentines so haven't been able to might get a thermometer tomorrow until I can get my hands on bbt one, I know it won't be accurate but would do for now xxx

It's better then nothing, so start with the one you have until you get the right one

ive taken two opk today and first one had a half dark line which i think is same darkness as the control line but not entirely sure and then the second one i took a few hours later and the test line was much lighter, (bear in mind yesterday i had negative ones) do you think the first one was a positive?

i tried to take a photo but doesn't come out very clearly

any advice would be much appreciated

 

[BeautifulD]

I guess it depends what is normal for you. Treat it like it was a positive and but keep testing.

I really struggled with the opks.... Some say it's positive if half the line is as dark as the control but others say it has to be the whole line!

I turned to the clearblue fertility monitor in the end, so much easier and no second guessing lines... this is my positive from this pregnancy cycle

im waiting to test again, i tend to wee a lot so holding it in long enough to test is hard for me as i drink a lot of fluid. maybe thats why the tests are faint?!

i last tested ay 5:25pm, is 3 hours enough time to test again?

Hi ladies this is my first cycle taking soy, had no problems while taking, just need a little advice with opk, I did days 2-6 and on day 7 had a bit of ewcm so got some opk, took one an it was bit dark like a few days before a positive, so been taking 2 a day like I would usually when expecting O just incase as I wouldn't normally get a line this early

Could it just be because of the soy that I'm getting a line or should I expect to O early, I'm still only cycle day 9 would normally expect O around day15, have been bding to make sure, even though oh as been dying of man flu, just showed him my test an the poor thing powered through haha

ive read that people have gotten false positive opk because of the soy, i would keep testing to be sure, do you temp aswell? that will tell you for sure!

 

[Mom3boys]

No I don't temp, have considered it but I wake through the night heard that can effect it

Yeah think I'm gonna get through a lot of opk this month, well for me usually only use about 5, was surprised at getting a line so early in my cycle though, worried me a bit thought it could be a bad thing to O so early, but I'm day 10 tomorrow im happy for it to happen now

i normally use 1 a day for first few days then up to 3 a day to be sure (defo addicted lol) ive just taken another opk about an hour ago and got another more definite positive so im a bit confused now, got my usual ovulation headache so hoping to ovulate soon (i dont know how much longer my dp can take bd all the time lol)

i think the soy i took has made me ovulate stronger as the line is much darker than i usually get so fingers crossed for a bfp!!!

i have polycystic ovaries but have regular cycles and regularly ovulate (as far as i am aware) and no other symptoms. its been two years but i think thats because my eggs are fully mature when i ovulate so ive taken soy in the hope my egg is mature enough fx

taken another opk this lunchtime was negative and about an hour ago a strong positive. think its defo about my diluted urine lol, - + - - - +, will do another one tomorrow to be sure! mine never have full solid lines (probs to do with the diluted urine again) so i take it as positive and my temping charts show i ovulate aswell.

 

[Mom3boys]

Still not had a proper positive opk yet, been getting a few twinges both sides front an back an felt a little emotional, which since ttc noticed I get just before O, feel like I'm always waiting either for O or AF

Really trying not to poas more than 2 a day, can be hard though haha I usually get my positive in the evening so need to do at least 2 a day so I don't miss it, it's gone by next day

 

[IceQueen86]

CG - how's it going? Soy and temping?

 

[marquess78]

so i hate having any kind of pee stick in the house. im at the crazy mid luteal phase point. and i am a confessed early tester. so i havent stopped taking opk because they were weird this month. they started to get lighter and lighter. i figured todays would be neg. yeah, not so much. i would feel so stupid if this was 'o' instead of a week ago. but my CM is all wrong, im still spotting and my temps support myhaving 'o' last week. I dunno.

its too early for a hpt to be positive, even if i was pg. i have a leftover FRER, but i really hate to take it tomorrow because of what happened back in october with them (got several bfp, only to find out when i got my blood tests that a) i wasnt pg and b) i never even ovulated :/ riddle me that??

anywho. here is the 2nd opk i took tonight. the first looks the same, this one was an hour later.

That's pretty much what mine have looked like since day 7, keep expecting to get a positive but everyday the same, getting plenty of ewcm so just keep testing and bding so I don't miss it
Me too false bfp last month, was devastated when AF showed especially when they make out no such thing as a false positive

 

[marquess78]

so i took the evil FRER this morning. determined not to be disappointed because of course, it was faintly positive. so against my better judgement i bought another one :/ and some cheapies from walmart. cheapie was BFN, as expected. FRER#2 with SMU, also faintly positive.

i took the covers off to take these pics becuase they dont photograph well at all. im pretty sure these are bogus, so not congrats please. my FRER exeriences are far too jaded for me to get excited. makes me sad

the top one is FMU the bottom is SMU. Both FRER, diff lot numbers and everything. I hope that no one else has this issue with FRER. I cant even take an Answer brand test because they are made by the same people and would give me the same result. im stuck with blue dyes. my strips were supposed to be priority shipped but now it looks like i wont get them til mon. by then i will know something. whatever. thanks for dealing with me while i go thru this drama again.

why cant it just be simple

Would anyone consider taking soy if your ovulation is regular?

i have taken it this month to try get a more mature egg in the hope of a bfp!

ovulated as usual, well 1/2 days earlier but im not complaining currently on 2/3dpo depending when ff decides to give me crosshairs

*but i have read it can mess you up cycles-wise, however ive been trying for 2 years so i didnt have much to lose so thought if give it a go!

 

[CG29]

Its going well so far , how is your cycle going? X
