Soya Isoflavones Cycle Buddies! <3

[Tesh23]

Hi Lost thanks!

Confirmed positive blood test today. I am 12dpo today. Got my first super strong positive at 10 dpo within 30 seconds. I did test on 8dpo and got a line on a pink dye but thought it was an evap. But looking back it couldn't have been be evap cos I saw the line at 4mins! I guess I could only trust a strong positive after so long.

Going to get my hcg levels confirmed in the next 24 hours. To be honest I really don't want twins.... But if that's what God sends my way I will welcome them with open arms!!! My sister is a paediatrician and has advised that as long as levels are strong and rising that's the most important thing, could be twins or not!

I don't think I could ever trust tests 100% hence the 99% accurate marketing lol

Happy I have confirmed with bloods.

Hope you're doing well don't be a stranger

My levels were doubling super fast with our son and he was a singleton. I have high levels this go 'round, no US yet but i'm assuming another singleton

I have read some other posts and forums where some ladies with super high levels were carrying just one and some with normal levels twins! So def think the level of Hcg isn't too reliable with determining how many are in there. I would love JUST ONE! Lol it is my first after all, so would def not be prepared for two!

Lost I don't know how u manage 6!!! Incredible lady!

Test your levels must be so strong even though you're still so early. I would really suspect multiples if I were you! Soy can cause multiple ovulation.

Squirrel I love how u call me 'test' in your post! Lol

And eek I will prob update if multiples or not on my first scan in a couple weeks!

That will be my phone's autocorrect it always unsuccessfully tries to read my mind!

I still think that test was super dark for 10dpo and those other lines are very dark for 12dpo. So your levels must be good, even if there's only one in there (as you say, how quickly your test goes dark isn't an indicator of twins). I hope you have a happy and healthy nine months!

I got crosshairs today so soy helped me ovulate a bit earlier than normal. I feel good about this cycle. My last 6 temps are virtually identical to the chart when I conceived my daughter (my only other soy cycle). Scientifically that doesn't mean anything, but it's enough to make me happy! I have an overlay on my ff page with that cycle and this one, it is weird how similar the last six temps have been!!

Good luck on your pregnancies ladies.

Thanks Squirrel, I never ever thought that if I finally got my bfp I would get a strong positive so early, I always thought I would get to like 15dpo and only then start to get a very faint line!

Your chart is looking gr8 so far! I love the fact that soy has had a positive effect on us and helped us O earlier! Even if only a couple of days earlier It also gave me better cm and cervical positioning during O this time. Usually my cervix only opens for a day or so... this cycle it felt in SHOW for like 3-4 days! Also has none of my usual cramping in the tww and actually felt better than I have in any other cycle! The soy didn't work last cycle for me but it definitely improved this cycle. I didn't even get my painful af cramps during af like I usually do.

Keeping my fx for u this cycle!! will be keeping my eye on your progress!

 

[Tesh23]

Squirrel just had a closer look at your chart. Your bd schedule is SO similar to what mine was this cycle! So was your cm and opks!!

 

[Lost7]

I'm testing Sunday. Just in case.

When I overlaid my chart with my BFP with our son there was a bunch of temps exactly the same! Fingers crossed its a good sign for you too!

Goodluck!! Let us know how it goes!

 

[squirrel.]

Lost I know you're NTNP, but I hope you get a beautiful BFP this cycle to make up for the past 13 months of heartache.

 

[Lost7]

Thank you, I'm really sorry about your pregnancy last month.

Cautiously optimistic, having some cramps tonight and I've checked I'm 9DPO - and cramps at 9dpo for me are unheard of!

 

[squirrel.]

Thanks.

Those cramps sound really good! Hopefully they're a sign a BFP is on its way.

 

[Lost7]

Fingers crossed. I'm not really a religious person, but I have just prayed.

DF has agreed to test with me on Sat/Sun when I test. Not sure which day to test now.

I pray to God this is our rainbow and miracle on the way, only 27 days and our March loss would have been due. I should have a baby in my arms, I really hope this is our miracle coming. Cautiously optimistic.

 

[magicalmom2be]

OMG!!! Tesh! Congratulations! So happy for you!!!!

 

[Lost7]

Tesh, for the purposes of Page1, can I confirm what days you took Soya, what dosage and that it was your second cycle taking them?

Keeping everything crossed for you lost

Hiya,

Hope it's ok to pop in here with a few questions!

I've been reading about soy isoflavones in here and on other websites, and was wondering if it might be worth giving it a go.

Everywhere it's said you shouldn't use it if your cycle is regular. My cycle has been 29-31 most of the time since I came off the pill in December, but I do get the odd longer cycles. Currently I'm on CD 34 and not pregnant (getting BFN and also failed to DTD enough) and with no AF, I wasn't temping so don't know if I ovulated late or if this is an anovulatory cycle. The last time this happened was in April when my cycle was 36 days.
Would my cycle still be classified as regular, or would it be ok to give SI a go from this perspective? I usually ovulate around CD 18 but would be great if that happened earlier.

I've also read the soy can enhance egg quality. At 38 this is certainly something I'd like to improve if possible, but then again I've also read that if you are over 35 you shouldn't try SI without consulting a doctor. Is this really the case? I mentioned to my GP that we are TTC but she was quite dismissive about the whole thing, just said I should give it a year before talking to a doctor about it. So I'm quite reluctant to go to doc's with this.

Anything else I should consider?

Thanks!!

 

[Tesh23]

Thanks magicalmom

Sure lost. Second cycle of si. Cd 2- 6. Dosage- 160, 160, 200, 200, 200.

Last cycle did 3-7 with 120, 120, 160, 160, 200 and nothing, just for reference.

Ladies my hcg came back at 165miu as at 12dpo. Hoping that is good!

Hi ladies, can I join? I'm currently going through my 4th loss. My tests turned negative today I have an issue with late ovulation and weak eggs. The month I concieved my youngest son (6 months old) I was taking a mixture of vitamin B complex and SI. I can't remember what doses I was taking, though. Can someone recommend a doseage? I have been on Clomid 50mg. I would like to conceive without Clomid, however. We're NTNP due to Dh's weird work schedule, so I don't want to take Clomid and then not even be able to DTD at the right time.
