Thank you, Yeah he has now refered us on for some more tests but that was only last month so gonna give everything a try before it gets here. When is you app? I bet you tried everything possible to bring AF, I here that rasberry leaf tea is good. Sorry not been in your situation before and wish I had this vast knowledge i could bring to you!

Just hope it comes soon for you hun

My cycles used to be irregular though not as long as yours . I started taking RRL capsules from CD1 till ovulation about 4 months ago & now my cycles are every 28 days.
Hope this helps

hiya, I am new to this forum! I have now been TTC since january! which doesnt seem like long. I have PCOS and endo, so me and my partner decided it was time to give it a go. i am currently on CD 89!!! after a month of begging the doctor, another doctor gave me utovlan to try kick start my AF! i have been reading bout soy isoflavones through the forums they seem to work great.

my question is, do they make u AF monthly too? atm im trying anything =) so gonna buy some tomoz just incase the tablets work.

another question and this might sound silly can u still take folic acid with soy isoflavones ??

thankyouuuu everyone in advance!!! xxx

Lizziewizzie welcome

Soy works a bit like clomid does. In which it blocks oestrogen receptors causeing an increase in oestrogen and lh leading to ovulation. Taken between days 2-6, 3-7 or 5-9 it helps to induce ovulation. If you do ovulate you will then get AF between 8-14 day later depending on the length of your luteal phase. Soy alone does not make you get AF, rather it induces ovulation which in the absence of pregancy leads to AF.

I'm on cd95 and no ovulation so know how you feel. I've just ordered myself emerita pro-gest progesterone cream from amazon. I'm going to use it for two weeks then stop hopin it will induce AF. I will then start soy 3-7 at the following doses 80,80,120,120,160 mg. I'm not sure where you are based but in the uk you can get soy tablets from Tesco which are 40mg each.

I hope this makes sense? Lots of luck and baby dust to you xxx

ETA yes I take folic acid along with the soy. I'm in 400ug a day which is the recommend dosage in the uk

Hi ladies not been on for few weeks 1st round soya didnt work,didnt do soya last month was going to take days 3-7 this cycle


Im 41 and have 5 boys and we are ttc baby no6,my cycles have gone from 28-30 to 22-25 day cycles with a lp of 12 ovulating cd 13,my 1st day of bleeding normally starts light but fills a pad and by midday gets heavy with clots and very deep red.

I had some cramping on thursday which was cd 22,9dpo,so was expecting af that day but didnt show,started feeling crampy again this morning cd 25,12dpo when i went to loo and wiped was sspotting so thought af bang on time,but its hardly getting to the pad and only when i wipe that get blood (tmi) the crampy feelings are more in my right side rather than tummy where i normally get period pains,should i mark as cd 1

thanks for reading

Ive always classed CD1 as the first sight of any spotting

I've always classed cd1 a the first day of full red flow. So if it needs a pad or panty liner then it is cd1. Spotting does not count as cd1 as far as I know

 

[poppy666]

Think it varies with everyone, some class spotting as CD1 others dont, but i got my bfp off classing spotting as CD1 twice so guess it depends on the individual, also another lady on here was told same from her Fertility Specilist.

Hey,

I am a newbie both to the board and to SI...is it ok to join in??

I have a short luteal phase and low progesterone and have been referred to get clomid, but the app could take moths so I figured I would try this! I am mid cycle at the moment so need to wait a couple of weeks before I can start but I am filled with hope after reading most of this thread (yes I have been on and off for days hahaha)

Look forward to getting to you all xx

 

[Spero]

*to getting to know you all that should say!

 

[Diddums]

Ah fair enough. I guess as long as you ate consistent it doesnt matter what you class as cd1?

Baby dust to all xxx

 

[alin3boys]

Thanks ladies i have classed it as cd1,so cd 3 today but still light and hardly filling pads but more than spotting,im back on my cbfm this month alongside opks (i have ov on cd 13 for last 3 months)and going to take soya tonight 100mg.

Welcome spero look forward to chatting with you

 

[shellie31]

I class the first day of bleeding as CD1 & set my CBFM to that as well

Good luck everyone.
