I "thanks"d that one, but I use the thanks button as a "like" button. lol


So far, i'm super excited about the soy. I'm doing CD2-6, and i've done 100mg, 100mg, 120mg, 160mg, and will be doing 160mg again tomorrow...or maybe 180mg. Thoughts? lol

No side effects so far...but my temps look FABULOUS for once. Not sure if it's the metformin or the soy...both are new this cycle. My temps are normally ALL over the place, but they are SOOOOOO stable this month. They're almost EXACTLY THE SAME every day. Amazing. lol

Had some cramping on the left side...but other than that...nothing. I plan on using OPK's. When would you guys start? Those of you who have done soy before...how soon after the last pill do you usually O? I didn't O at all last month, I believe.

Dont go there Poppy OH is allready having kittens at the thought. I know I am capable, and having twins on both sides and soy = or or His nightmare is twin girls born on Halloween so he has " a house full of witches"

[shellie31]

I've been reading back through the thread(i'm up to 400 something pages now ) & i've just ordered some red raspberry leaf capsules cos i don't like tea that doesn't taste like tea IYKWIM lol . Is it safe to take them all through your cycle or do you stop at ovulation? .

Been having a few twinges now & then & feeling wet down there too so hopefully my ovaries are preparing to pump out a nice big juicy egg YAY!!!!

I'm not so familiar with the Clearblue monitor. Does the high reading mean you're ovulating or about to ov...or just that you're likely fertile?

I'm wondering when I should use OPK's...will finish my last dose of soy tonight. I've NEVER gotten a positive OPK yet, and was testing twice a day. Will be testing once a day this cycle since i'm out of internet cheapie tests and even if I ordered them today, they wouldn't get here in time....and i'm too cheap to buy a ton of them for retail price.

 

[shellie31]

Cdn. I've been using my CBFM for a while so i know alot about it . Is this your 1st cycle using it? If it is it's likely to give you a lot of HIGHS as it gets to know you. If not then a high means your fertile & should get your PEAK(eggy symbol) soon . Once you get your PEAK don't feed it any more test sticks cos its programmed to give you another PEAK then a HIGH before going back to LOW . Hope this helps . Oh yeah i suggest you get lol .

Mine is still reading LOW but i've had to reset mine cos i was on antibiotics last cycle & it mucked up the CBFM readings . It sees me as a new user now so i'm expecting a HIGH in the next couple of days & quite a few before i get my PEAK . I usually use a CB digital on the day of my PEAK as a back up & i always get a smiley face . I never got a positive ovulation test when i was using the IC tests hun, which made me think i wasn't ovulating but the CBFM & CB digitals tell me otherwise & my doctor also confirmed i do so in my opinion the IC ovulation tests are crap & don't work for everyone.
If you need any more help with it i'm here to help you out

miss redknob ~ love it pmsl

cdn ~ cbfm is fab you can set it upto day 5 of your period and then on your 1st cycle using it will ask for a stick(just like an ov stick pee on it or stick in a sample put cap on then place in slot in moniter it then reads the stick and gives you either 1 block (low fertile)2 blocks ( fertile,bding on high days can result in pregnancy)then 3rd block with an egg in (peak highly fertile and usually will ov next day)after a peak u will get 1-2 high days)last time using i actually got my bfp on a ov stick before pg stick

 

[debzie]

This was my first cycle using cbfm and was expecting highs but only got two.before my two peak days. I would say with opks and soy start early as some ladies ov sooner.

As for the rasberry leaf it is good for timing the uterus but can cause problems after ov as it can cause uterine contractions inhibiting implantation.

 

[CdnEquestrian]

Thank you ladies. I was debating between the CBFM and OPK's...so I think I may bite the bullet and just get the CBFM. It's $55 approx. here with 20 sticks, I believe...which isn't too bad. As opposed to $40-50 for 7-10 OPK's...

So yes, this will be my first cycle with it if I pick one up. I didn't know you could set it to CD5 (or whatever you're on) and thought that you would have to use it from the start of your cycle...but I guess that makes sense otherwise you'd be peeing on sticks when you KNOW there is no chance of Ov.

I just don't want to miss this eggy, but DH is not a spring chicken anymore...if ya know what I mean...and at best I can only get him to BD a few times a week. lol

 

[Hotpink_Mom]

I feel so tired today

 

[CdnEquestrian]

I feel so tired today

Take a nap? How are you feeling otherwise?

I'm having a rough day, pain-wise. I have chronic pain, and it's pretty severe today. *sigh*

 

[Hotpink_Mom]

Can't really take a nap yet DH need to be home to watch the kiddos

 

[CdnEquestrian]

Aww. Hun, if I lived near you i'd pop over and watch them...but seeing as i'm in Canada, I think the plane ride might be too much.... lol

Hang in there. What time does DH get home and give you some relief?

 

[Hotpink_Mom]

5:15pm, but told him just now Taco Bell sound good. I'm cleaning our room and not stopping till it's done. Spring clean is the worst time of year. Blah, i'm so anxious.
