Soya Isoflavones Cycle Buddies! <3

[GoldenRatio]

HIYA I DONT WANT TO SOUND silly but is it just soy or the tablets that have red clover etc aswell as soy

Im not sure if i understand correctly but we are all taking pure soy isoflavones. Spring valley is the brand but if u get other brands, then u may hav other things along with soy. The reason we taking spring alley is, each tablet has 40mg of soy iso which mean u take 5 tabs max; however, if u get a tablet that had other things in it, u may need to take over 20 tabs to reach 200mg of soy iso.

 

[fairyy]

TJMYANGEL: We are taking pure soy tablets.
Golden explained it perfectly.

Golden: Is opk getting close to positive as well ?

Soya Isoflavones and Red Clover I believe are more for Pre and Post-Menopausal women.

If you want Soya Isoflavones for TTC purposes, you need to get PURE Soya Isoflavones, as the ladies have said.

Any CM Golden? for a

ah we usually BD around 10-12pm and i keep softcup in for 12hours, so whenever i check cm, its either watery or ewcm but cant tell if its semen or cm

Im just not used to ovulating this late and i was supposed to give blood for LH:FSH and progesterone on cd17. So today im cd15 and if i go for blood test on cd17, my LH will be higher than normal and progesterone will be low and my doctor will say oooooo u hav pcos for sure and low progesterone So i think im gonna give blood on 5days after positive opk, what do you ladies think??

 

[fairyy]

Don't let the doctor fool you
I am sure he would say that if you go on cd15
They check for progesterone on cd21/22 assuming perfect 28 day cycle with ovulation on cd14. That means they check levels on 7dpo. So go when you are 7 or 8dpo.

Well i read online, if u ovulate between cd12-16 then test on cd21, and if u ovulate later than cd16 then test on cd23-24. So since im gonna ovulate cd15-16 (hopefully!!), i will give blood on cd21/

I called and changed it to CD22 because monday is family day and its holiday so i will go tuesday, and Feb 23rd i will get my results from the doctor which is day before af is due. Incase he gives me clomid, it will be good timing ha

Btw ovulation pain is bit extreme this cycle, its painful like af cramps Fairy, was urs painful too?

I think that is a GOOD sign! Painful O cramps means a nice strong ovulation.

I'm taking it as a good sign that I had a little spotting his cycle, means SI is doing something! I'm also taking a B complex, B6 and vitamin C and E and will take flaxseed oil after O. Also gonna give mucinex a shot this round as well, cuz...why not? Oh and eating pineapple daily!

Powell....yes I should have known better really! Never again &#128528;

CD9 ...actually had to check as I'm not obsessing this month.

Here is a nice link for anyone concerned with lpd or low progesterone

Golden: Cd22 is perfect to give blood.
The cycle I gave blood I ovulated either on cd14 or 15 and gave blood on cd22.

Timing sounds just perfect if he prescribes you clomid. But you might not need it and get pregnant this cycle. Either way you are getting one more step closer to BFP.

Yes, mine was definitely noticable this time around. My right side was sore for days and it was super sore and crampy (with frequent BM, sorry TMI) on the day of first positive opk. After that day the pain is totally gone.
You are going to ovulate soon. Yay

Xokittykatxo: Not obsessing is a good thing for mind and body. But it hard to do. lol
Do you notice anything different this time cm wise ?

Thanks for the link.

 

[GoldenRatio]

Yay got a really strong positive opk!

 

[fairyy]

Yay got a really strong positive opk!

Woohoo

 

[GoldenRatio]

welll.... all that excitement was for nothing. I was in serious pain ovulating or close to ovulating and DH didnt want to BD

I dont think he cares as much as i do and maybe in his head, he is all healthy and im the faulty one so why should he sacrifice his time for BD.
I dont think i will get pregnant because we didnt BD yesterday and im not planning on BDing until i know that he is on board.

Anyways, good luck to you all and i will be around to see ur journeys to bfp!!

 

[fairyy]

I don't think he thinks that way. May be he was tired of something like that. Don't be upset sweetie. You have BDed plenty. So one day miss isn't going to hamper anything.

Don't ever feel that he thinks the fault is with you so why to waste time trying. No that isn't the case. When we BD continuously in a row it feels like a chore. A day break is what you need. TTC can put strain in a relationship. So don't let the tension of trying come in between you two.

Many ladies do it every other day and get BFP so you don't have to be upset hun. You already have plenty of swimmers in there. Do it tonight or tomorrow morning if you want to.

This cycle I wanted to BD daily once I got +opk but on third day when opk was strong positive we couldn't. Even we had an argument due to this TTC stuff. Tried that night but couldn't. Daily BD was wearing DH out. We did it next morning.

So hun please be positive. Your chances are great this month.

 

[GoldenRatio]

I dont feel like BD everyday either but i do it for the sake of ttc. How hard is it for a guy to get in the mood, seriously!

Im just super mad that he ruined the entire cycle for me. I never had such a strong ovulation before. I got ewcm, and open cervix but by the time i get home it will be midnight and ovulation will be over anyways.

oh well

 

[Lost7]

Please don't take this the wrong way Golden, but I wish that's what my EX DF did. Instead of living a dream of wanting his own first child then to abandon us like this.

Maybe he's been trying too long and just needs a break? Disappointing I know.

 

[GoldenRatio]

I know, i appreciate him for being supportive even tho its like 60 percent of the time. But i was so excited to get positive opk and ewcm at the same time oh well, im over it now. Will see how next month goes.

Aw trust me I know how you feel. Honestly though, men are just different when it comes to the entire ttc thing. My OH doesn't even want to talk about it. He would rather just let it happen natural. Well unfortunately I'm not 20 anymore and can't get knocked up at the drop of a hat.
It's funny how many years I spent trying to prevent pregnancy and now I'm putting in overtime trying to get preggers.

Looking at your chart I'd say you still have a great chance! Many, many charts on FF with pregnancies O-2. Hoping you will be one of those stories.

 

[Powell130]

I felt like that the cycle we got pregnant with #1 Golden. I feel your frustration but it can still happen!

 

[fairyy]

My DH wasn't 100 percent on board until May this year, though we were sort of trying. Many cycles passed when I put myself to sleep crying the day of positive opk because of no BD. That time was hard. I still get anxiety before and during fertile period thinking what if DH won't BD when we need to.

But in your case you BDed many times before positive opk. So you are still in the game with good chance. If you ovulate on the day of positive opk or day after then you did BD on day before ovulation or two days prior and those are the prime fertile days.
