Just wondered if anyone else with long cycles has tried these? My cycles can range anywhere from 33-45 days and I've read a lot of positive things about these helping shorten cycles. I've just ordered some to try next cycle if AF ever shows up 🙄

@Littlepoppet1 I took days 2-7 80, 80, 80, 160, 160, going to try 160, 160, 160, 200, 200 on my next cycle to see if that makes the difference. My last cycle was 60 days so maybe I'll just have a ridiculously late ovulation!

That's frustrating for you @Riverskye my last 2 have been 40+ days so I know the feeling. I hope AF shows soon for you then you can move on to next cycle. Did you take Soy this cycle?

@Kay00 think we've timed okay. DTD on Tue and Wed and will make sure we do today and over the weekend just in case! Fingers crossed for you this cycle! Keep us posted!

@littlepoppet1 🤞🤞 you have ovulated! Did you time DTD well?

Im on CD7 and my 5th and last day of soy. Now its just wait and see...!

Riverskye · 28/01/2021 20:21

Fingers crossed you just missed the peak @Littlepoppet1! I'm currently on CD46 and no positive OPK, so don't think I've ovulated at all. I'm going to try again next cycle Smile

Little update from me! I think I ovulated either yesterday or today. Cd13 today. I had a very strong OPK on Tues night (CD11) but I wouldn't say quite positive. I have my typical ov symptoms of being very bloated and gassy and lots of watery CM but not EWCM. OPKs yesterday and today have been much fainter so although Tues OPK wasnt positive it was very strong and levels obviously going down since then do maybe I just missed the peak? I'm gonna keep testing for the next week or so just to make sure as this is very early for me but if it turns out I have ovulated then the soy has worked wonders!!

Yes! I would say that is positive Grin exciting!! Jump on your man Wink

heybabes · 27/01/2021 11:29

Is this a positive? What do you guys think? Taken this morning ~10.45am.

I’ve been doing some digging and have seen stuff about soy messing up OPKs so clearly that’s what it’s done to me!

I got a 0.4 temp rise on CD17 which has stayed up for 4 days which is making me wonder if I’ve already ovulated and just missed the surge.

@kay00 @Littlepoppet1 ugh so annoying, my 4 hour hold came out almost positive again and then I did one this evening which has been the lightest result I’ve had this cycle! So who knows what is going on, I’ll just have to wait and see what happens tomorrow (when I’m predicted to get a +) and follow my temps. I’ve attached my pic for today’s OPKs!

Kay00 · 26/01/2021 19:58

@heybabes, thats almost positive... if they get lighter tomorrow theymn I'd say today/tonight is your peak and maybe ovulation tomorrow. Ovulation before CD20 is my dream!! 🤩

Ahhh how frustrating for you! So nearly there! Fingers crossed for later today! Let us know how it goes!

OP posts:
heybabes · 26/01/2021 15:38

Fingers crossed @Littlepoppet1 !

I did another one this morning around 9am as they were getting lighter and everyone thought CD17 was positive and I got another even darker (but not quite positive?) one.

Trying to do a 4 hour hold and test in a bit again to see if any darker. So annoying!

Honestly last cycle they were all really faint and then I got a dye stealer on CD20! 😫

CD11 for me today and my OPK is getting stronger! Not positive yet but a very definite second line now which is more than I have had for ages so things seem to be going in the right direction 🤞🤞

How are you getting on with yours @heybabes ?

@toastedsesame I missed your post yesterday! Tentative congrats! Have you tested again?

OP posts:
Ailie12 · 26/01/2021 08:49

@heybabes I can see the test line is getting darker, but the test line doesn't seem to be as dark or darker than the control line. So your tests are still negative to me. Keep testing and your positive is on the way.
Best of luck you get a BFP this month - keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Kay00 · 25/01/2021 21:14

@restingbface sorry to hear about your MC 😔 hopefully not related to the Soy xx

@littlepoppet1 I have the same brand as you. I'll be taking 150mg tonight (CD4, 2nd day of Soy).

@toastedsesame eek... please keep us updated 🤞🤞🤞

Toastedsesame · 25/01/2021 20:53

Really sorry to hear that @restingbface hopefully not related.

NamechangeTTC · 25/01/2021 19:52

Oh that’s good @Littlepoppet1

Not annoying at all @NamechangeTTC thanks for the heads up! I've just checked the bottle and it seems like the full 50mg to me? I've attached a pic!

@heybabes That sounds hopeful then! Fingers crossed this is your month!!

@restingbface so sorry to hear about your miscarriage. I hope you are okay.

CD10 for me today. Started OPKs but only a very faint line at the mo! Last 2 cycles I hardly had a visible 2nd line at all the whole way through and ended up with two 40+ day cycles so hoping for a better cycle this time.

Hi, I took soy for 2 months and fell pregnant the 2nd month. I have just miscarried at 12 weeks. No idea if it’s related x

heybabes · 25/01/2021 19:04

@kay00 @Littlepoppet1 thanks guys! I also posted the same screenshot on Reddit and a few people replied and said CD17 is positive. I think I just couldn’t tel because the ones I had last cycle were so obvious because all the negatives were really faint.

I will keep testing but today they have got fainter. I have heard of people getting gradual surges rather than a spike too so who knows!

I do test my temp and it rose slightly yesterday but I suppose if it was a positive OPK then tomorrow morning it should show in my temp if I’ve ovulated or not.

I’ve had no other signs other than CP is high and open but I’ve had no EWCM or bad ovulation pain like some get. I’ve had some teeny tiny twinges today but nothing to write home about!

NamechangeTTC · 25/01/2021 18:13

@Elakiya sorry I didn’t see your comment. 14+2 but lurking. Soy baby! I took 160, 200, 200, 200, 200 days 3-7 which is higher.

@Littlepoppet1 not to be annoying but please check the back of your pack. Someone on another group thought they had 50mg tabs and it turned out each tab was 10mg and you needed 5 for a dose. Just when I notice you’re in multiples of 50. X

Toastedsesame · 25/01/2021 17:59

@Kay00 yes! First cycle of soy 😬🤞

Kay00 · 25/01/2021 17:13

@Toastedsesame That's super exciting!! I'll have my fingers crossed for you! Is this your first Soy cycle?

Toastedsesame · 25/01/2021 17:07

It's not quite a BFP but I did get a v faint line on a frer today, 10dpo 🤞

Kay00 · 25/01/2021 15:47

@heybabes Looks like either you spiked late in the evening of CD17, or it will happening in the next couple of days. Do you track temps to confirm whether ovulation has happened?

I took my first SI last night; 100mg at CD3. So far my nips have been tingling all day... anyone else get tingling nips??

Littlepoppet1 · 25/01/2021 11:12

I would say CD17 PM could be positive, especially if they go fainter after that. Maybe text the next couple of days and see but that looks positive to me!
