Soy Isoflavones! Natures Clomid!

[Betheney]

Same here waiting on AF.

Although Ff finally gave me cross hairs. Now I'm just worried that it's because I've has a chesty cough and blocked nose rather than because I ov. In any case I have a drs appointment on Monday to see whether they will prescribe provera. If I get to 14dpo and no bfp I will start taking provera as it obviously means I didn't actually ov.

Your chart... why were your last dozen temps at a different time? were they earlier than all the rest or later than all the rest?

 

[Diddums]

From cd1-50 I took my temp at 4.30 then from cd50 on I took my temp at 6.30. Originally ff put my cross hairs at cd50 as the later temp takin gave me a slightly higher temp. However at cd70 when supposed ov tool place I was still taking my temp at 6.30. If that makes sense? What do you think of my chart? Xx

 

[Betheney]

if you asked me i think FF was correct with your cross hairs with what you've said about your times, if from CD70 onwards your temps were taken at a later time that the ones from CD50-69 then i would say maybe not. But it def looks like a temp shift to me. Unless you are having 3 random late temps which seems highly unlikely.

 

[Diddums]

Thanks for having a look Betheny I think if my temp stays up another few days I will believe I have ov. Then the question because how likely Is it to get a bfp from bd once 3 day before ov? Xx

 

[Betheney]

I think it depends on the individual I see heaps of women get pregnant with such statistics. But while TTC my daughter we BD every second day for about 3-4cycles then decided to do every day and BAM fell pregnant. This time around we've BD every second day to every third day for about 9 months. This will be my first cycle with BD every single day so fingers crossed it works again like last time.

Also first cycle with preseed!!!! I have zero EWCM which is why I think BD every second day doesn't work.

Cd 12/13 for me, some very niggly ov pains happenin. 3.5 months since DH gave up alcohol, 5th month on pregnacare & wellman conception. 14th cycle ttc. How long does it take for egg to travel down Fallopian tube? Just wondering if we should dtd tonight or wait till tomorrow for swimmers to grow more....we dtd last night.

 

[Betheney]

Most studies say that it is more beneficial to BD once a day. A while ago they used to say every 2nd day but now they've realised every day is best. I also don't know how long it takes for it.to.travel down the fallopian tube but once you've ovulated your egg starts to break down and is gone by 24hours later so the aim is to have lots of BD before Ov so the spermies cans catch a fresh newly released egg

AFM - 2nd day od temp rise signalling Ov so BD marathon is over and it's 2dpo and into the 2ww for me

Wish me luck it's my first preseed cycle.

 

[Diddums]

Fingers crossed for you betheney

My dr said to me every three days was enough! I didn't believe her lol. We have both been very Ill so could bd more oh well hopefully new cycle soon xx

That's the best time to BD is when your sick

 

[Diddums]

Haha bunged up and snotty with a throat like sandpaper! And before hubby has bruise ribs from a fall for three weeks! Been a bit of a write off cycle. Can't wait to start soy and hopefully make me ov sooner xx

 

[baby_nurse]

Well there was me underestimating soy and it seems to be doing the trick!! CD 20 got v. tender bb's (my O symptom) lovely peak on my cbfm and ouch ouch ouch really strong ovulation pains!! Never had them before! So if I O in the next few days soy has brought my O date forward by 9-10 days! Yay for soy! Hope it gives me my bfp but if not def trying it again next month!

 

[Hotpink_Mom]

FX for you baby_nurse

I just read your reply, we went ahead anyway lol. That's interesting about everynight. He had to give an SA and refrain for 3-5 nights, apparently that gives optimum sample? Yet I've read a book by professor winston who said dtd every day as research has shown it's more likely to produce pregnancy. Also smep advises every other day and then every day for 3 days after +opk. Maybe everybody is different & it works for some and not others?
Fingers crossed for you and thanks for your advice xxx

 

[hopefulmom2]

AF finally arrived, I am thinking of starting Soy and taking cd 2-6 each 40 mg, was planning on 3 the first night, then 4 the next 2 nights then taking 5 the last 2 nights. I am also going to us my saliva microscope starting with after af ends around 5 days after. This cycle was 37 days long.

I meant everyday during your fertile window which is basically what both those people say.

3-5days would probably give you the biggest reading which would be best in terms of sperm analysis. But i read somewhere in terms of TTC if you refrain for an extended period of time that first ejaculation is mostly full of dead spermies. I read somewhere that recommended BD once around 4 days before your fertile window BD marathon so by the time you start your marathon it's all fresh sperm and not over 4 days old. I think the people who are usually told to do BD less than every day are those whose hubbies have low sperm count so they REALLY need to build it up before BD.

 

[CdnEquestrian]

Well ladies....soy didn't work for me this cycle. Looks like it's another annovulatory cycle. My doctor is referring me to the RE who told me he'd give me clomid if soy didn't work this cycle....so I guess i'll be moving to "the real thing". I just hope THAT works for me, even if the soy didn't.

Good luck, ladies!!!!

 

[shellie31]

My hubby has a low sperm count & we were told to every other day. I'm not pregnant yet & it's been 4 years,maybe we need to do it every day.

I'm still waiting on the bitch or a BFP(i'd obviously prefer the last option) but i'm not hopeful,i don't even know if i ovulated this cycle

Good luck to all of you

I guess you'd try anything after 4 years. Have you looked into TCM? it does amazing things for men and women.

 

[shellie31]

What's TCM hun?, yeah i'd try anything to get my BFP lol
