gardenofedens-

how are you feeling, any symptom spotting?

Aww, you're so sweet to check in on me! I'm 11dpo and feeling okay but pretty sure I'm out....too many AF symptoms. I had a few cramps yesterday and got two pimples which only happens around AF time and I was really stressed and bitchy yesterday. My appetite is still higher than normal though but not as out of control as it was about 4-5 days ago. I'm also not as bloated which is good...I was so bloated I looked like I could have been 3-4 months pregnant! lol. I've had heartburn in the last few days which I've never had before though. And my temperature is still in the third level of temps so I really don't know. I caved and took hpts at 8, 9, and 10dpo but all were negative as expected. My second thermal shift happened at 9dpo so if my temp is still up tomorrow or Monday, I might try another hpt depending on my other symptoms. I was going to today, peed in a cup and everything and then decided I didn't want to know today. We're going to a friend's little girl's second birthday party and they also have a six month old so I'm going to be surrounded by babies all evening. If I got a bfn today, I'd probably be depressed about it and if I got a bfp, I probably wouldn't be able to keep my mouth shut so it's safer to just not test!

I'm really hoping this is our month but if not, we're going to try one more cycle of soy and then take a break for a while. The fall/winter season is crazy-busy for me at work so while the higher stress levels will keep me preoccupied, they'll probably also prevent us from much BDing, especially since I'm going back to uni this Fall for my teaching credentials.

I'm trying to get an appt with the dr for us but it's a crazy long waiting list. DH doesn't want to, he thinks that's "taking things too seriously" but I'm really concerned because he was married straight out of high school and off birth control with his ex for four years without ever getting pregnant. I don't want to wait four years and then check to see if something isn't working correctly, you know?

Anyway, sorry for the crazy-long post but that's where I am right now. I may test in a few more days or I may just wait for AF on Tuesday/Wednesday....

How are you feeling?

my first was at 11dpo, with 10miu tests, and you could BARELY see a thing... you have been testing a bit early.

bloating and bitchiness sound promising! i was soooo bloated for soo long! and my very first symptom was being super short and irritable toward DH lol!

i saw my neice yesterday who is also 6 months old(she lives in LA where i grew up so i dont see her much)... i hope you enjoyed your baby time as much as i did

prettymachine - I have a new one for ya...

My cycle is odd this month. My pre-ovulation temps were higher than they've ever been but I've heard that's a side effect from the soy. I had a positive OPK on CD13 but didn't have a temp spike until CD16. Then I had a second dip/spike at CD24/25 which would have hopefully made it a triphasic chart. But if I take out the positive OPK, FF moves my ovulation to those days instead which would make me only 4dpo instead of 11dpo. I usually ovulate CD15/16 without soy so I definitely could have on CD17 as FF predicted. But on the other hand, sex is always painful for me after ovulation and this cycle it hasn't been. It's been quite pleasurable until today which just happens to be the first time we've had sex since the second temp rise on CD25. That leads me to believe I didn't ovulate until then and am only 4dpo. But I had only creamy CM at that time - lots on CD24 and TONS of it on CD25 - to the point that it felt like my period had started...but not watery/ewcm. And the positive OPK at CD13...I guess that could have been because of the soy I took maybe? I took 120mg on CD6,7,8 and 160mg on CD9. But if I go by my CM, I ovulated on CD16. Ugh - so confusing!!! Any ideas?

Oh and yea, the birthday party was fun. The two two years olds were a hoot and the fourish year old was adorable. The six month old and five month old were cute. The six month old boy is HUGE compared to the five month old little girl! It was fun.

Glad you're feeling well minus the constant need to use the restroom! Not too much longer for you!

 

[prettymachine]

have you thought of the possibilty of you ovulated twice? it happens! for me my OPK was way more accurate than my temps my soy month. however it really felt like i was OV on around cd6...which is pretty ridiculous(i did 110 cd 2-5)...but i had the most EWCM i have ever had that day, and so much ovary pinching!(we BD that day to be safe) but i had pos OPK around cd 13 or so(cant remember that far back lol)... what funny is LO has measured ahead this whole time... my due date based on LMP is sept 20...but she measures due sept 12! i am very curious to see when she shows...if its rather early i have a hunch i may have OV twice, too

 

[poppy666]

Hey PM had my scan and deffo a girl still

 

[Coltsmommy]

Do you ladies mind me joining? I am spotting right now so AF should be here full force today or tomorrow. The doctor wanted me on clomid 50mg from cd3-7 because he thinks my ovulation is very weak. I am very scared of the side effects of Clomid so I am going to do 120mg of soy on cd 3-7 instead since the side effects aren't supposed to be as bad as Clomid. I have a GREAT feeling about this month!

 

[poppy666]

Welcome aboard and fx'd this is your month sweetie

Well now that's certainly an interesting idea.....I wonder what that would do to my AF....would my LP start again after the second temp rise or come on Wed as due from the first temp rise?? Very strange to think about!

 

[lucyoz34]

Poppy gorgeous scan pics, congratulations on being team pink

Im 7dpo today, second round of soy, praying I dont start spotting again this cycle. I took vitB complex100 as well, it had better work!

 

[prettymachine]

Hey PM had my scan and deffo a girl still

she is such a cutie!!! i had a fluid check scan the other day and mine is DEFINITELY still a girl too... it was VERY undeniable... yay we can both relax a little!!!

im pretty sure women get their AF the same when the ovulate twice? maybe google it lol!

 

[debzie]

Noting ladies.

Poppy your scan pics ate amazing she is such a cutie allready.

Garden each time i take soy it does strange things to my cycle. The cycle i got my bfp i had a strange temp increase then decrease either ovulated twice or my body tried failed yhen did it again. You can ovulate twice up to.2 weeks. apart and your lp.would've lengthened due to the hormone chain of the second folicle. Looked it up when I was expecting twins and one was meaduring less than the other. Fingers crossed for you hun.

Pm time flies not long now. Hope you are well.

Well I have Baltic temps at the moment way lower that all my previous cycles still following the same run up to ov pattern nay ovulate a day or so earlier. This month I have ewcm though really early and have had days of it. Last cycle I took soy I did not. Opks now have a line but a way off positive. See what hapoens in the next few days. Getting exciting.

 

[Babykiser]

debzie- glad to see things are on there way! hope u get that positive opk soon! not sure whats going on in my body at the moment....today my cm is not 100% dry, but alot dryer than my other days, have not had any O pains, and no positive opks i know im probably just not ready to O yet, but i want time to fast forward a bit. my body needs to get in gear and make something happen.

Thanks for the info ladies! I'm officially 14dpo today and my temp increased by .2 degrees. This happened before (the increase before AF) in my April cycle so I still think AF could be here tomorrow since I've gotten BFNs each time I've tested but I'm still holding out hope! I have exactly 80 points in the Fertilty Friend "Early Pregnancy Signs" estimator but I also had that in a previous cycle so again, not certain but holding out hope. lol

Fingers crossed for all of you and hope we all get our bfps soon!

 

[Babykiser]

ooooo this is exciting gardenofedens!! i really hope u get ur the witch better stay far away from you!!!
