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

feeling very positive, but i think im a bit too hopeful really and i think ill be really disappointed when AF shows up!! what day of your cycle are you on? and when is AF due?

im either 2/3/4 dpo depending when ff shows with crosshairs, i think im more like 4 dpo because of temp and CM so we'll see

Nothing special for me just relaxing and working out since i O late, i have a lot of time to kill before that LOL

 

[IceQueen86]

Would anyone consider taking soy if your ovulation is regular?

It can mess up your cycles but you won't know it before you try it

Finally got my positive opk last night, there was no Q really dark line at 8pm an again 11pm was still positive this morning but has faded now, this morning had pulling like stitch on right side by afternoon has moved over to left side

Expected O day on callender was Saturday so if I O today I'm 3 days early, really happy with that, was worried taking it as I'm a regular 28/29 day cycle but seems I've been fine with it, gonna keep the bding just in case an on with the worst bit, 2ww how I do hate it haha

 

[Mom3boys]

Ok strange one opk gone positive again, just took one 9pm, not even just slightly positive a very strong one hmm well at this rate I'm still gonna be taking them up to AF
This is a new one for me usually after peak it drops fast then gone, anyone else have this?

Just keep Bding so you wouldn't miss your O in case your body is having trouble ovulating and your O will be late for few days.

 

[Mom3boys]

Yeah that's what I'm doing, though really feeling Ill today, woke up being sick, had a bad headache all day, cramps like a bad AF coming, really emotional crying, think its got to be to do with O an I'm still getting positive opk, but ain't really feeling up to bding have see later

Hi ladies,

Sorry to barge in here, but I need some expert opinions. My insurance doesn’t cover infertility specialists, soooooooooooooooo, I’ve seen this thread and thought, who else to ask this of, but these ladies who are already using it!

Here’s my situation:

Last year, at the age of 40, I got pg the first month of trying. I had a mc at 9weeks on Nov 1. My menstrual cycles became regular again pretty quickly, and I o between CD12-CD14 (I’ve been using opks since the mc, and charting my temps for my last 2 cycles). I have been ttc for 3 cycles and no success. The only thing different with my body after the mc is that I have brown spotting throughout the luteal phase, pretty much every day. I suspected low progesterone, and had the CD21/7DPO blood tests done and my results were 6.5, which my dr says are normal, but I beg to disagree with her assessment, based on Dr. Google. Also had ultrasound done but they didn’t find anything that could cause the spotting. I will be going back for CD3 blood tests prob on Monday. She’s already said that assuming those hormone levels come back normal, all I can do is wait a few more months to see what happens.

I’m thinking of taking soy isoflavones and using progesterone cream (progesterone cream is used only during luteal phase, after o has been confirmed). I have regular cycles and am afraid soy isoflavones will mess my cycles up since I already o pretty regularly, but based on the 6.5 number, it seems to be a 'weak' o??

If you were in my shoes, what would you do?

If you do take soy, what days do you take them? How much do you take?

Does anybody take soy and progesterone supplements?

I appreciate any insight that can be offered. Thank you so much ladies, and again, sorry to barge in on y'all!!

Hi Meli!

Unfortunately i don't know if it's weak O or not. Even tho i've read that soy is not recommended to women who are regular or who O on their own, women still take it to get stronger O. It might and might not mess up your cycle, the only way to find out is to try it yourself, since all women are different.

If i was in your shoes i would try it for one cycle and see what would happen. If it will mess up your cycle then don't take it anymore after that.

Since you spot in your LP then i think natural progesterone cream would be good for you, if i remember right then spotting in your LP meant LP defect. This can make it harder for you to get pregnant. I used progesterone cream to bring on my period. I was spotting everyday for 3 months or so. Now i get my period with no help and i do have some super light spotting only around O time.

First time i took soy was CD1-5, 160,160,200,160,200 (first 200mg gave me a headache so i chickened out and took 160mg the next day lol ) didn't get my bfp cos i think my BD timing wasn't the best.
This is my second cycle on soy and this time i took CD2-6 and 160mg everyday. They do say to start with low dose but i was desperate for a baby

Hi Ice!!

Thanks so much for your response! You make some very valid points. I think I will do both--take the soy and use the natural progesterone cream. If the soy throws off my cycle, then I’ll stop taking the soy.

Where did you buy your progesterone cream from? Are you still using it?

Ps, your chart’s looking GREAT!!!

No problem I bought mine from amazon it's called NOW Foods Progesterone Cream, 3 Ounces. I don't use it anymore because it fixed my problem which was constant spotting and no AF

Feeling so much better today, after chatting an a bit of reading thinking I had ohss the other day, every time I thought of the symtoms I had individually they were O symtoms, but they were so bad an I'd never heard of it before, I know it's really rare with soy iso but timing an symptoms all match up, It was pretty bad having to sit in the dark because light was making me feel sick, hardly able to walk in so much pain ect ect but I won't say I won't ever do it again haha least I can say I know they do something

Hmm now everywhere Im reading about ohss It's going on about multiple egg release, 1 would be plenty, 2 might take a little getting used to, but that would be more than enough thank you very much lol

Ice dear how do i put my chart up? X

Oh nooo i guess you have to stay away from soy or take the lowest dose if it makes you feel like you are dying
