Soya Isoflavones Cycle Buddies! <3

[Xokittycatxo]

Fairyy it would drive me nuts to have an unfinished chart. I'm a little type a especially when it comes to those things. Are you in the 2ww now?

Golden I've also heard soy can delay O but also that it can move it forward so is it possible you already ovulated?

Afm today will be my third day of soy. I ended up doing 90, 135 and tonight will be 165 then 210 and 210. I have been sleeping very well which seems to be my only "side effect!" Really hoping his will bring O forward a few days.

 

[LoraLoo]

It definitely brought my ovulation forward. Cd17 both cycles I used it, I usually have long, erratic cycles so it was amazing for me

 

[fairyy]

Xokittycatxo: That is really a good side effect

Yes, I am in my TWW.

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.

I started opk cd6 bkz I had cramps and watery cm, I'm using easy@home brand that I get from Amazon. I don't usually get super creamy cm before ovulation so it's kinda weird, and I don't think I ovulayed yet even tho my temp is going p. Will see in couple days

So I'm 3 days late and have only been spotting very slightly if I have a BM (sorry! TMI!). My BB's have been killing me, and aside from being emotional, I don't feel like AF is going to show her ugly face anytime soon. I've been testing since Friday with nothing but BFN's. I thought when I spotted after a BM on Friday that AF was for sure on her way, so I called and scheduled my HSG for this coming Friday. Now it looks like I'll be calling to cancel it tomorrow since my body doesn't know what it wants to do and I need it to bleed properly in order to have the test done.


So the SI cycle #2 saga continues. On a positive note, I picked up some Royal Jelly and evening primrose oil to start taking along with my vitex again once this cycle throws in the towel.

What dpo are u? If u ovulate late then ur af will be late too. Let's say my lp is 14 days and ovulated cd14 then I expect af on cd28. So I think u ovulated cd22, and u are 10dpo. U still got couple days until af shows p. If you are spotting then it can be ib since u are only 10dpo.

 

[fairyy]

Inkedlady: Yes, if you have ovulated late then you aren't late for AF yet.

According to my chart that I posted on here a few days ago, a bunch of ladies think I O'd possibly around CD 23 due to a jump in temps and EWCM, although I did miss charting CD 23 (New Years day). FF never gave me crosshairs and none of my OPK's turned positive this month though. So I don't honestly know if I really did O this month or not. I've just assumed it was an anovulatory month and DH and I kind of gave up trying since CD 14 due to all the holiday family functions and my work schedule getting in the way.

Well, I'll be doing a third SI cycle in a few weeks time - well, TBA. I think I'm going to take it on different days and different dosages to last time.

Last month, the first time in 18 LONG months - I failed to ovulate. My AF came two weeks early. Today, I am CD14 and again, 'low' on the monitor doesn't fill me with hope I will ovulate this cycle. If this is the second in-a-row cycle I will not ovulate I will do SI next cycle. I've never had problems with ovulating, so this is new to me.

Last cycle, I should have ovulated on Christmas Day. I put that down to stress. Will continue to test and will temp from tomorrow onwards. But in the mean time, I am preparing for another SI cycle, my third SI cycle.

Check anovulatory charts, you wont see temp shift like urs. Ur temp shifts after ovulation because of ovulation and ovulation related hormones. You clearly ovulated cd22 or 23.

 

[Lost7]

Woo hoo, OPK

Fingers crossed for Month 18. It's been a long enough wait now.

 

[fairyy]

Yayyy
So happy to see you here back in action Lost.

 

[Lost7]

Yes and no Fairyy, not doing anywhere near what I was doing to conceive, but certainly don't want to NTNP. See where we go. I'm hardly taking any medication or vitamins now, so if it happens - great. I'm to be honest, more relieved I'm ovulating again! That cycle last month really messed with my head.

I had cramps this morning so took my ovulation test at work. i ddnt have a cup so i tried peeing on the stick (wondfo ones), omg it didnt work I guess u cant pee on them...

 

[fairyy]

Lol Golden surely you can't pee on them.

hahha i even dipped it in the toilet desperate times.......

Definitely have ovulation pain on the left side. Im gonna do opk as soon as i get home and if its positive, gonna jump on DH. This month im gonna try early evening BD. My theory is night BD is not working for us, maybe due to lack of energy.

Also i googled it, you get best sperm at 10am-1pm.

 

[fairyy]

You are too funny

We feel the same during night time. By the time we go to bed our energy levels are low. Sometimes DH sleeps for an hour or so and then pounce on me. lol

Else early morning BD is good too.
DH isn't available during afternoon when my sex drive and energy level is high.

You try to BD when you are comfortable and in mood. It doesn't have to be at night and yes I have heard that too. Sperms are at thier best in the morning. May be that's why men want some morning BD.

I hate morning BDs so we always do night time. We both work and wake up at 7:30 so i cant see myself waking p early to make a baby. Afternoons we are both at work unless my fertile days come to weekend. I will try after dinner this cycle and see what happens.

Also i have my doctors appointment tomorrow, im so nervous! did scan last week , so he will let me know what was the result. If everything is normal then we move on to DH for sperm analysis.

 

[fairyy]

Hope everything turns out to be normal for you.
Keep us updated.

My DH needs to go for SA too. He has never been tested before.

All my tests had been done last year and everything was normal but may be I have border line low progesterone. But since it has been a year doctor might want to run tests on me again

But DH needs to go first if we don't conceive by May. I am looking for a good fertilty specialist close to our place.

We have been trying for 4 months, but i told my doctor that we tried for 1.5 years so he takes us seriously and runs tests. If there is a problem, i like to know sooner, thats why im checking. If we can get pregnant by next years December then i will consider fertility specialist.
