Oh dear we've run out of space! Hopefully somebody lovely will copy the stats over

Where you were ladies....

This is interesting kitty. Do u take soy then? If so would u recommend it and which days do u take it?

Just wanted to re-iterate Kitty's post that Soy tablets shouldn't be taken if you have a normal cycle as they can actually inhibit fertility and mess up your cycle. Think its a case of if it ain't broke then don't fix it..

Sorry af got you blueberry thinking of u today x

Hi kitty I'm still waiting for my amazon ones. My cd3 tomorrow can I get done in tesco? I tried boots, nothing at all.

A little about my history and reasons for taking Soy Isoflavones, jazzy

I've technically been TTC since coming off the Pill last October. I used OPKs right from the start and SMEP plan. I was averaging a luteal phase of 10-11 days with ovulation usually on day 20 or 21. In Feb, I got a BFP on the day AF was due. It didn't stick and for the next two cycles I didn't ovulate.

First time I temped was after the last anovulatory cycles and that was textbook with a 13 day LP but still ovulated late and had very high per ovulation temps until the day before positive OPK, and it took a few days for my progesterone to fully kick in after. Last cycle was. 43 day cycle where I ovulated late again but something extended my LP to 23 days.

I wanted to try and bring my pre-ov temps to normal levels to bring forward ovulation. The theory that if I successfully fertilise, then I my body might produce the right amount of progesterone and lining (late ovulation can equal bad uterus lining) will help support the little bean naturally.

So far, I have had great pre-ov temps and brought forward ovulation by 6 days (will check third temp tomorrow to confirm this) Had the darkest ic OPK I have ever had and have been feeling good ov twinges.
I took on CD2 100mg, CD3 150mg, CD4 150mg, CD5 200mg.

Kurama what happens next for you then if this last cycle of clomid doesn't work (it will though )

Tesco do an own brand 40mg. Lots have recommended them online!

Excellent ill pop in tomorrow

Sorry, previous post should end: CD6 200mg

Thanks for that kitty, i have opked every month since jan (except this month) and never had a peak, but hav felt ov pains weirdly. If i dont catch this month i'm going to opk again nxt month and if still no joy look into fertility aids and may see gp. Never had this problem b4 so trying to get as much info as possible.

Thanks everyone shed a few tears but im ok I guess dps been trying to cheer me up.

kitty next appointment is on 11th September but im worried that I wont have lost the weight he asked me.

Suppose I better go onto September and cycle 17 argh.

Good luck ladies

Our poor thing jazzy -hopefully, you just have a super short LH surge and you keep missing it but it would give you peace of mind that your body isn't trying to ovulate (hence the pains) but failing. I hope it's the former!
BBT temps might help confirm ovulation and could be useful in showing your GP. Do you currently do that?

Oh, don't panic my lovely. Doctors can be so black and white can't they? If there is one thing I have learnt from the wonderful posters on here, is that you need to fight your corner. Can you practise crying on demand ?! Don't leave the room until you have got what you wanted XXXXX

How is everyone doing? I have been feeling light headed for a few days, but otherwise I'm feeling fine. I think my ovulation is about now, but my DH is absolutely knackered, so I don't think any deeds will be done around here.

I've not done temping as yet but may start nxt month, the prob i hav is i'm usually woken by my 2 yr old who had usually crept into our bed so never hav the time to temp!
This month i think i ovulated on cd15 (had slight spotting and cramps) .. We dtd 13/14/15/17/18... But now on cd 21 and hav cramps again. Still approx 8 days until i should test (app has af on 18th but my last 3 cycles af has come on 22nd hense why i'm aiming for then). Think i may hav a opk in my draw, do u think its worth seeing if i'm ovulating late like u say?

Jazzy if you've got a spare opk lying around I'd probably test and then pounce on your dh if you can too, just in case!

Wow lots of bfps since I was here last!

Congrats!

I'm feeling positive this month. Roll on 24th so I can test :D

To be honest jazzy If you have just had cramps it could mean you are ovulating and the OPK won't pickup an LH surge that has happened. It could be implantation pains as well through. Sadly, the best picture you would get is through temping but I fully understand a two year old is not conducive to that

Spinning girl - fingers crossed for u
Blueberry - that's crap I'm sorry big hugs
Bluesky- thanks for the tip I think will shoot for eve primrose and cough medicine with cbfm if doesn't happen this month then might try Angus castus after that
Kitty - u r so wonderful in your responses I wish u all the luck in the world for ur bfp this month but don't leave
Chandlers - so glad it's not just me
Cd15 here and have told dh we need to dtd tonight he's being dead gd in the eod plan bless him so fingers crossed have had more dragging feeling today in abdominal and watery cm not ewcm but I guess at least I can track

Eww quick q just filling in ovia and it says ewcm feels wet, looks clear which mine is but it isn't stretchy to liquid for that is that ewcm? It's not his junk and was fri we dtd?

katy this Web Page helped me when I first started out. To me, it sounds like you have wet cm which is fertile cm and a pre-cursor to EWCM. DTD is this is your body's way of warning you ovulation is around the corner (hopefully!)
And thanks for your lovely comment

Ok....so next cycle if I don't have any luck this month I will be trying the SIF CD2-6 Kitty. I'm wary but my ovulation seems to be hit and miss so we'll see.

Jazzy - jump dh just in case... One more go can't hurt

Hugs to blueberry

Thanks kitty that has really helped yep I think ur right wet cm it is. Never thought about actually checking just was on crotch watch - dumb I know and prob tmi :-)

How are you feeling this evening English? I wish I could just take your pain and sadness away with just the click of the button... You are wonderful for doing what you did for that baby shower today. I skipped out on one last weekend. You are a better woman than me. Sending a ginormous virtual penis dragon hug over the Interweb to you...

speaking of penis'...I watched the inbetweeners 2 today (weather was too bad to sight see) and I have never seen so many penis'! Once I get my BFP (and I will get my BFP, as will all of you!) I will be happy not to see a penis for a verrrrry long time!)
