Soya Isoflavones Cycle Buddies! <3

[fairyy]

Golden: Good that you already started to get ewcm.
How long have you been TTC ? Do you have any kids already ?

No, I have never used softcups. This cycle we BDed at night everytime. So I stayed in bed as long as I can after BD.

Also didn't use preseed. I like it but DH isn't a fan.
We did it on cd9,12,cd15(first +opk),cd16(second +opk). I think either I ovaulted on cd16 or cd17. I want to do an opk today just to see if whether I still test positive or not. Normally I get 3days of + and ovulate on second day of positive opk. I never tested after that. I just want to test today to know more about my surge.

Inkedlady: Are you sure this cycle is anovulatory ?
Do you ovulate regularly ? Sorry that Soy messed up your cycle.

I got another bfp today after taking soya. Last month was a soya cycle too but I miscarried. Hopefully this one will stick x

 

[fairyy]

Woohoo Congarts LoraLoo
Hope this is a super sticky BFP.

What dosage of SI you took and on which cycle days ?
Did you feel any different this cycle ?

 

[LoraLoo]

Thank you. The first cycle I did 3-7. 100mg 100mg 150mg 160mg 200mg

I was going to give this cycle a miss to give my body a break but then decided I should take the soya to keep my cycles anyway so I ended up doing 5-9 on the same dosage.

The only difference I noticed this cycle was that ovulation psins were a lot more gentle. I actually doubted whether Id ovulated because it wasn't as bad, despite the positive opks.

I ovulated on day 17 both times.

I have a normal 28 day cycle usually, but I don't always ovulate or I ovulate really late and end up with a short luteal phase of 10 days or less. I was hoping SI would help me have more consistent ovulation or O sooner. All of my OPK's that I took this month never turned into blazing positives and around Christmas the went back to completely white. My temps were abnormally low and only went up a couple tenths of a degree, if that.

Here's a link to my chart: https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/47bafb/thumb.png
My Ovulation Chart

So this cycle on SI turned out to be an anovulatory cycle for me. I'm now a day late, my temps are up, and my boobs only just got sore a couple days ago as opposed to right around O. My temps didn't budge hardly at all this cycle, they stayed fairly low and my OPK's never went positive. Wishing everyone else better luck than I had on SI. Waiting for AF so I can finally schedule my HSG to try to rule phsyiological problems out.

I was watching a video on youtube about SI, this girl said she thought she ovulated CD15 and then as she was expecting her af, she got positive ewcm and BDd just incase then got bfp 7 days later. So if ur cycles were not regular, maybe you ovulated late.

This is our 5th cycle ttc and i dont hav any kids, and never been pregnant. My cycles were changing 25-32 days so i wanted to try SI because im not a patient person. I want a baby nooooowwww!!!
My DH hates preseed too so im gonna skip that.
I would keep doing opks until 3-4dpo, you may get an other surge with ovulation pains maybe?

Congrats!!! did u get any side effects?

 

[fairyy]

Inkedlady: I was about to say the same thing what Golden said.
You might have ovulated late or yet to ovulate. BD whenever you get "O" pain or ewcm or every 2/3days just to be safe.

Golden: I don't know about the second surge. But it is interesting to see what opk says today.
Hope it won't take long for you to get pregnant. Good luck. Soon you'll be ovulating.

I was thinking the same thing....I hear SI can make you O later and I think that occurs more often with women when they take it later in the cycle. Looking at your chart I would say you O cd22...definitely a temp shift and you had same ewcm. Also I've had my strongest most definite opk at 3am and only happen to catch it because I was working nights and I can just gotten home. By the time I got up and took a couple more throughout the day they were barely positive. I wouldn't have known. So is it possible you missed it?

LaraLoo. Congrats on the BFP!! So exciting I really hope this is a sticky one for you

Starting my SI tonight I think I'm gonna do more gradual...90, 120, 165, 210, 210

So my surge is fading. The test line was way darker than the control line on cd15 & cd16. I didn't test on cd17. Today on cd18 the test line and control line are almost of same color. My surge is going down. I either ovulated on cd16 or cd17.

Yet to get crosshair on FF, probably on 3dpo. But my chart is insane this time due lack of sleep, waking up multiple times during night. Plus some nights it is cold and some it is warm. Btw my bbt isn't working properly. So I switched to another thermometer. Lots going on. Lol. Temping is a pain.

Going by the opk ID agree with your O estimate.

Temping is such a pain! I have a back up bbt just in case. I've heard that down women get much clearer results with vaginal temps and I was like, ok I'm gonna give that a shot since my cycle just started. I was all excited than I realized that I was bleeding and how the heck was I supposed to temp?! I mean I use a sponge so I probably could but wondering if that would effect the temp. Or maybe I'll just wait until af is outta here and start temping vaginally. I feel like I put entirely too much effort into all of this sometimes but I know the end result will be worth it.

 

[fairyy]

It will surely be worth all the effort at the end.

If you are thinking to temp vaginally then wait till AF is over.

 

[GoldenRatio]

I temp vaginal, DH finds it gross and annoying so last month I stopped temping but started again three day ago bkz I like to hav control over what's happening. I think I'm gonna temp until I'm 3dpo, it seems like temping entire cycle is useless.

But when I was temping everyday, I wear tampon so temping during af wasn't a problem.

 

[fairyy]

I am going to stop temping after two/three days. My chart is crap this time and I don't think FF is going to go give me crosshair anytime soon.

I agree you don't have to temp for entire cycle. You can stop once you have detected ovulation.
Here is my chart.

How come ur temps were high before ovulation?

 

[fairyy]

Because I was suffering from cold and flu and had to wake up multiple times due to coughing really bad. Plus it was cold then so we had to use blanket. May be that's why my body was warm.

 

[GoldenRatio]

Oh okey, temp outside really effects mine too n amount of blankets.

I'm so confused with my cycle, I hav super high cervix that I can't even reach to check if it open or not and creamy thick cm. opks are still white, as cd11 I should be getting ewcm or watery along with mid dark opks

 

[fairyy]

May be in a day or two you would be getting fertile cm.
Have you started testing with opk yet ?
Which brand opk you use ?

Soy can delay ovulation by few days.
