@Darcy86 oh that's so great to hear! I was exactly the same at my scan, no symptoms really before.. I also had to wiggle around to wake baby up, then empty half my bladder 😂 Yeah I'm 16+5 today!
Here's the link to my scan picture, mainly guesses for boy except @Suki2020! Will find out on the 22nd at my private scan!

Hi @Pol96 and everyone! Thanks for thinking of me, yes I am 12+4 now, had my scan a few days ago and everything is looking good so far. Here is my little one (hopefully pic attaches!). It was such a huge relief, I'd had next to no symptoms really so had been feeling a bit anxious, like it wasn't real! But he or she is definitely in there. Possibly asleep at first but the sonographer asked me to go to the loo halfway through and when I came back I'd defiinitely woken him or her up, there was a bit of wriggling about and even sort of pushing off from the side of the womb, very strange but amazing how are you doing? You are about 4-5 weeks ahead of me right?

Hope everyone else is good as well - will catch up on the thread properly now to see what I've missed!

@Darcy86 how are you getting on? Are you around 12 weeks now?

Yay @Rosegold3112 congratulations!! Exciting to see ☺️

@Elakiya I think a few days is normal - this is what it says on NHS website: You have irregular periods if the length of your menstrual cycle (the gap between your periods starting) keeps changing.

Although mine are technically irregular they are normal for me as they've always been like that x

@Tink2019 Mine used to range from 28-40 and I called them regular. Now they range from 29-36 and I continue to call them regular. Does regular mean you pretty much have the same cycle length give or take two days then?

@Elakiya I don't, they range from 27-38 days x

@Tink2019 Do you have regular cycles?

@Elakiya of course not - I found about the Soy on one of these forums so share away. I wasn't on any other medication, but I was taking other vitamins / supplements (Coq10, folic acid and vitamin D throughout cycle then 50mg B6 after O - the Coq10 and B6 I only added this cycle along with the Soy so they could've helped with the BFP of course). I hope you get to the bottom of your post-workout bleeding soon x

@xoJellyBean I’ve spoken to 3 different gynaes about it multiple times and they dismiss it and say it’s due to the PCOS 😔.

However I am concerned it could be something else. I mean I am not a medical professional but it’s just a gut feeling something is wrong but no ones listening.

@Tink2019 congratulations I took that soy iso post and copied it into another thread because I thought it was very useful and interesting. Hope you don’t mind. Were you on any medication when taking this?

@Rosegold3112 congratulations, lovely news! X

@Rosegold3112 congratulations!!

@tink2019 congrats! 🎉🎊
Hope the rest of you ladies are doing well.
I haven't posted here in a while but thought I'd share I got my first ever bfp today! I don't know if I'm 9dpo or 12 cos I'm forever in disagreement with fertility friend but thought I'd just randomly do a test as I got some spotting after work Fri which would be too early for anything af related and thought I'd just check it out. I am over the moon and in a state of shock! Going to test again in the morning and go and get some digital to make triple sure. I don't know if it was the b12 injections but something definitely helped me out this month. I'm also due a blood test on weds to check if I ovulate but I guess my body wanted to prove it in its own way. Although it is still very early days.
Also seems this cycle would have been a lot shorter than the 3 long ones previous. Again I don't know if that's related to the injections or life returning to normal out of lockdown.
Also, other than the spotting and maybe needing to pee more frequently, I can't say I've noticed any other changes. Good luck to everyone here! I really hope you get your bfps soon! 😊😊

Please ignore any hairs on my tests 😅 they are from my dog, his hair gets everywhere! But just realised they look a bit dodgy when on a pee stick 😂

@Tink2019 congratulations 🎉

@xoJellyBean this is my 3rd official cycle of ttc with AF due in about 9 days.

I was wondering if anyone else with PCOS bleeds after exercise. Basically I have noticed that after I ovulate if I do any ab workouts I bleed?

@xoJellyBean thank you 😊 That was the only side effect and can't really blame it 100% on the soy as I get migraines regularly. I was quite nervous too but after 3 days on the lower dose I felt ok upping it a little. As I had the Clomid prescription I also just thought there's nothing to lose... x

Hi Ladies,

Can I join? I don’t know if mine counts as long cycles as they average 32 days but I do suffer from PCOS so thought this might be a nice thread to join to get help about conceiving

Thanks ladies. @duckii and @SarahTTC2020 I've pasted the soy info below - I did CD 5-9 as was having blood work / a scan before that and wanted them to be natural. I just got the Tesco ones (ignore the fact they say menopause on them 🙈) and took 80mg CD 5-7 and then 120mg CD 8-9 although actually didn't take day 9 ones as had a migraine. I took them before bed as can cause headaches etc.

Here's the info I found on them:
You take Soy Isoflavones, like Clomid, on either CD 1-5 , 2-6, 3-7, 4-8 or 5-9. If you take Soy Isoflavones during the later time bracket, for example CD5-9, you shall strengthen the egg that has already started growing producing a healthier egg. The earlier in your cycle you take it, the higher your chance of releasing multiple eggs but these eggs will not be as mature as the eggs grown from taking Soy later. A lot of women will choose the middle cycle (3-7) allowing time for a strong and healthy egg to develop without erasing the chance of a second egg being developed and released.
1-5 = you produce more eggs, and ovulate sooner, with a stronger ovulation.
2-6 = you produce more eggs than usual, but not as many as taking it 1-5. Eggs may be more mature, and ovulation will be slightly more strong than 1-5.
3-7 = The best of both worlds, a few more eggs, and all eggs will be strong & mature, and ovulation will be alot stronger than 1-5.
4-8 = No more eggs will be produced, but the ones already there, will be matured alot more than usual, and ovulation will be very strong. Ovulation may only be brought forward a teeny bit.
5-9 = You'll have one very mature strong egg, from the ones you already produced on your own. Ovulation will either happen when it usually does, or a few days later, but your egg will be of great quality.

@Tink2019 congratulations! Fab news, I have the same questions as @duckii

I'm possibly 7 dpo but didn't see a peak opk so not sure if it was a good cycle so still DTD every couple days just in case
