Soya Isoflavones Cycle Buddies! <3

[fairyy]

Golden: Sorry that AF got you

All the best for second round of soy.

 

[Xokittycatxo]

Golden...bummer! Dang

Fairyy where are you in your cycle?? I forget....2ww still?

I had to mention that the weight I gained with the SI (about 1-2 lbs) came off literally as soon as I
ovulated¡
I think it's worth another shot next cycle since it seemed to move O up. As long as I can lengthen my lp with the b6 is say I'm on the right path.

 

[fairyy]

Cd6 here.
Took my last dose of soy tonight and now we wait to ovulate.

xokittycat, which days will u be taking soy next cycle?

xokittycat, which days will u be taking soy next cycle?

I'll probably stick with 2-6 although I'm tempted to try 3-7 as that seems to be the more popular choice. Going to see what my lp does and go from there.

Took my first soy yesterday cd2, will be taking 160,160,200,200,200 this cycle.

Didnt get side effects (cramps) like my lasy cycle so fx it stays that way.

 

[fairyy]

I got cramps like last cycle while taking it.
We suppose to get cramps during ovulation right as soy makes ovulation stronger!
I wonder if soy is working for me or not. Anyways this is my last cycle on soy.

Yesterday I got to know that one of my friend is expecting baby#2 in July. She was on birth control, stopped it and got pregnant in second or third cycle. Even she got to choose the birth month.

Why is it so hard for us ?

I got some cramps after i wrote the post lol so i guess its normal to hav cramps while taking soy. Since we took cd2-6, maybe we will get results this time.

Its just easy for some ppl, im sure everything is timed and we will have our bundle of joy when the time is right. I believe that no matter how stressed u are, or how much you obsesses over it, the outcome will be the same. Lets just relax! if soy doesnt work, then we will try something else there is always ivf too

Anyways DH was supposed to stay away from sex for 3 days and give sperm for analysis. Omg, was that ever hard for him! Last night i had to be mean to keep him off me, he got all upset and went to bed. This morning he gave the sample, thank god! Cant wait to see the results.

 

[Xokittycatxo]

Fairyy how many soy cycles have you done? I hope the 2-6 works for you! Have you considered though changing brands? Sometimes that's all it takes. One brand of maca works for me the best and the others I have tried are just soso.

I undersrand you feeling slighted about not being able to conceive easy peasy. I have a friend that is the same age and has to be on bc, use condoms and spermicide or she gets knocked up. Seriously.

And then there's me. But I know I'm not alone and there are any women that struggle. I have tried every herb and vitamin, I temp, I chart, I use egg whites for goodness sakes! Acupuncture, fertility cleanse, fertility massage, fertility yoga, soft cups....still no baby.
And today OH rubbed his hand over my belly and said "how's our baby??" Playfully and he meant it sweetly but it made me want to burst into tears. How can I go another month unsuccessful?

But when you and I and all the women struggling finally DO conceive, it will be worth it. And we can say, "look how badly we wanted you little baby! Look at all we went through."

Golden that made me giggle you keeping DH off you. My OH is the same way. Sometimes I literally can't stop him. He's like a runaway train when he's gone sex on the brain.

Well today I'm 5dpo and some different hints this lp. So far my cervix has stayed high and normally it's so low by now. Also I haven't had much creamy cm, some watery which is unusual and my libido is crazy high! Usually after O I want nothing to do with sex. 3 dpo I took a 3 hour nap in the middle of the afternoon and the last two nights I've had insomnia.

Wondering if this is all because of the soy or if it's a good sign!?

Xokittycatxo, I've looked at your FF and your chart. You only reach 7DPO usually? I know you're taking Vitamin B6 but have you tried Vitamin B Complex? My LP was only ever 11 days (thus I think it delayed the inevitable) and I can honestly say I tried B6 first and had much better luck (and success) in delaying my LP using the Complex.
Typically, when it happened for us I wasn't doing or taking anything. I literally tried everything going as well.

Yes! I am taking fertilaid now which has the other b vitamins. I believe b6 as well but I am taking an extra 100mg.

Yep only 7 days! I'm not sure what happened because I'm pretty sure I used to have a nice 10-14 day lp

 

[fairyy]

to my TTC buddies.
Hope we get our bundle of joy soon and get to be bump buddies.

Xokittycatxo: Hope this soy cycle does the trick for you.
Who knows there might be a baby in your belly.

This is my second soy cycle.

Golden: Hope your DH's SA turns out to be normal.
Now that his SA is done now you can allow him to pounce you as much as he wants fertile time is also coming

Yesterday and today I got some pain on my right side for few moments.
Don't know what that pain was!

I don't feel like doing opk's this time. Don't know what I will do
I have few days to decide. But seriously I just want to relax and BD when we want to and more effort when I see ewcm. Or BD every other day.

 

[GoldenRatio]

Xokittycatxo, when i take soy my sex drive is always high even after ovulation. Especially 5dpo last cycle was super high lol

Fairy, i wont be doing opks or bbt either, just gonna follow ovulation pain and cm.

Btw, my boobs are getting bigger and nipples are always out! i can even see it thru padded bra sometimes they hurt which is unusual for me... i wonder if soy causes that?

 

[Xokittycatxo]

Fairyy if this is only your second soy cycle why would it be your last? Some ladies it takes a few times and might not have anything to do with thre soy. But if you really feel it's not doing anything I understand!

I really hope we can all be soy bump buddies though

Golden ok whew! Thought I was going nuts. Sex maniac style haha. So did you or anyone else that checks cervix notice it higher and softer after O?? Mine seems to be getting higher and today it was squishy! Never happens after O. It's usually very low and firm. I'm also very very wet. Just water cm, I noticed a little creamy last night but mostly just watery. I got a little nausea last night, just a touch. Thought for a second i might gag but it passed.

Many one else notice these symptoms after taking soy?

After ovulation i got extra wet on soy and even during af, i had tampons and still had cm comin thru. My cp was medium soft closed, even day before af, it was soft and closed. Soy really changes things p but again ur chart looks good! fx ur lp is long enuf for ur baby to stick

Cd4 today i think and af is over, i will probably ovulate super early since cd4-8 soy made me ovulate cd12, now cd2-6 soy will make me ovulate even sooner. Cd3 i did opk and it was almost positive which means my doctor was right, at cd3 lh shouldnt be that high

 

[fairyy]

Xokittycatxo: I bleed more while on soy during AF and I don't like that.
After this cycle I will relax for two cycles and then go to the doctors for consultation. Probably they'll prescribe something after they perform some testing on us.

I have no idea about CP. I only know my cm pattern.

 

[Inkedlady88]

Checking back in after a little time of lurking. Had my HSG on cd10, was the most painful thing I have ever experienced, and I have a high pain tolerance. &#128534;Despite the pain, my tubes are open, uterine shape is normal and nothing abnormal was found. Bled/spotted until cd14 after the test. OH and I have only just managed to BD once this cycle so far, not that it will matter. I'm doubting ovulation will occur any sooner than it possibly did last cycle (temps have just been constant Rocky Mountains and no positive OPK's), and I don't know that it's possible to even conceive the cycle of an HSG rather than those following one. We're currently waiting on OH's SA results, went to the fertility clinic on Monday for that..... OH is getting as antsy as I am to find out if his swimmers are actually swimming. Kind of feel like we're stuck in limbo until we get his results and if I can get any positive OPK's/crosshairs..... It's almost worse than the TWW. &#128533;

 

[Xokittycatxo]

Inkedlady any news on the swimmers?? Waiting is the hardest part of ttc imo. I don't mind charting, temping, etc and of course bding is the most fun but waiting, oh the waiting! Waiting to o, waiting, to test, waiting for af....makes me lose my mind. So I definitely understands what you mean! Hopefully you ah e some good news soon.

Well I successfully lengthened my lp to 8 days, officially today! temp went back up just a little, And still no sign of AF. Cp is still high and closed and firm, some cream cm. no cramps, or flutters or any spotting so I'm probably not preggo either which is not surprising. There is really nothing going on in my uterus at all. Seems uber quiet which is not the norm for me before af. I'm still not sleeping well, tossing and turning and this morning I woke up super congested. Probably thanks to the unseasonal weather

That's about it ladies. Hoping I can hold off af for at least a couple more days! Hope everyone had a nice weekend.

 

[Inkedlady88]

Xokittycatxo: No word yet. Hoping to hear something this week. Otherwise my OBGYN will be getting a call. &#128522;

Keep us posted!

I'm not sure if I should try another round of soy just yet or not. I did manage to move my O up and lengthen my lp by a day. I'm thinking I should maybe keep trying the b6+Bcomplex and try soy again when I can get that sorted out.
