The continuing Pregtober bus where we all take crack epo!!

[spinningirl10]

New bus ladies, hop on

Kitty, I'm taking soy cd3-7 same as last cycle. Tonight should be day 5 for soy but not sure if I should take them now. I upped them slightly but not much. I don't know what made me test really, they were just there staring at me haha it's not your fault, I knew it could bring ov forward but last month it stayed the same. I was just hoping to improve egg quality. Just have to hope for the best!

Sunbathing, haha my dp is really hard work if he's not in the mood! Never had a bf before who I couldn't help get in the mood, iykwim ttc is tough sometimes! I do have to laugh as he told me told me recently that getting a bfp should be our main priority!!! Errr yep, but it takes two!

Yes I'm going to keep doing them sunbathing, I'm wondering if it's saying positive because the soy has produced a surge, don't even know if that's possible. I'm temping as well so that should give me an idea what's going on in the next few days.

Wanttobe, your symptoms are still sounding good.

Frolic, sounds like it could be a symptom, fx

frolic SYMPTOM!!!

Ahh I've just googled and it says that if you do an opk while you are taking soy it will show up as positive! Think we will try and dtd tonight anyway and hope that Google is right and ov stays away till early next week!

Fredsmum 8 dpo is so early, your not off the bus yet! I totally get the need to test though.

Jessica amazing dedication to poas, with ICs it's hard not to

Spinning your comments about going doggy had me giggling!! Good luck later.

MaGrat sorry for the BFN, when is AF due? FX she's stays well away.

April glad you are feeling better

I need to go sort out dinner so I'll try and catch up more later ( I've only got as far as 2pm!)

Greetings ladies from Bangkok! I am back in Thailand as of this arvo, desperately pretending I'll be able to sleep now (00:45 here, 18:45 in my UK brain!) but clearly not a hope in hell so will be lurking around online whilst DH sleeps next to me. He flew back here on Sunday for work, so we're all out of synch!

Today was the last day of my soy isos - my pattern was CD3: 105mg, CD4: 140mg, CD5: 175mg, CD6: 210mg, CD7: 210mg. Fx that does something to my maverick ovaries! I know you're not meant to go over 200mg in a day (and trust me, swallowing down 6 sticky horse pellets on the plane was about as fun as the plague) but I actually just got the maths wrong yesterday and then figured, fuck it, the old girls don't respond to strong prescription drugs last cycle so what have I got to lose?! I'm lucky as I've got my scan on Monday (CD11) so I'll know for a fact whether they have done anything at all which is quite cool... MrsE/Spinning, I'm hoping as the 4th bus passenger doing crack isoflavones to have some good, scientific updates for you then! I've also started drinking raspberry leaf tea to thicken my endometrial lining, so will have some hard facts on the effectiveness of that too.

April, Autumn, Nordic and all others that got BFNs or AF today, I'm sorry!!! . Please do have a good old rant on here.

My DH reckons I go on this forum too much and it mustn't help me to forget about TTC! Bless him, he was being sweet trying to say he doesn't want me to get my hopes up too much each cycle. I explained it's the direct inverse psychology for me - I have to get my hopes up each cycle as I truly believe it will happen on one of them! If I lost that hope then things would be psychologically bad! And what better to do during that time to keep me sane than check in with a gang of informed, empathetic and bloody funny ladies going through the same exact thing as me? High fives you lot, you are ace.

Wahoo my softcups arrived!
Btw I asked boots when they would be back in stock online and was told they've been discontinued, so it seems amazon is the only option now.

Lucie - thanks for your efforts on the stats!! Mine need amending as I got a surprise natural AF. Now on CD7 so I need to be amended to:

ChandlersFarang, 32, TTC#1, cycle 6, BFP due 31 October. If I could sneak a HALLOWEEN BFP onto this bus I would JUST DIE!!!!

xBlue - when taking Femara (like clomid) I had 4 follicles ready to ovulate, I DTD and none fertilised. I'm on another forum for women with PCOS, and out of all of the hundreds who have been taking ovarian stimulants, only one in the last long while is currently pregnant with triplets. And frankly the rest of us are jealous! Plenty of women produce more than one follicle per cycle but all the rest seem to only get one baby, if any.

On the massage thing, thanks for the info English. Massage is a big thing here in Thailand as I'm sure you know, I go for tons every week as they are so cheap! But my acupuncturist told me in no uncertain terms not to do so during TWW/pregnancy as he says certain pressure points can bring on mc. He is Chinese and apparently he won't tell anyone what the points are, as given the one child policy in China a lot of desperate women try that to abort an unplanned pregnancy. That country really is nuts on this stuff!!!

Interesting you've mentioned that Chandlers. I just had reflexology. Possibly ovulating today maybe the next few days.
Anyone got any idea if this is ok? Didn't realise it could affect anything but online it says not to have reflexology after ovulation.

Evening ladies, loads to catch up on. I have a quick q though do ur ovulation days change? I am on cycle 2 using cbfm. Today is cd13 and I got a low, last month I got a high on cd13. Is it normal for things to change does anyone know? Feel like I'm prob about to get a high, any advice great fully received

My ovulation is rarely on the same day katy, don't worry :)

Hi Katy, pretty sure ov day can change (mine's totally erratic but don't use me as an example - lots of things can delay or bring forward ovulation I think) but I do know that it can take the CBFM a few cycles to get to know your cycle... It might have realised it started giving you a high reading too early last time do is waiting a bit longer this time.

Treacle - not sure about reflexology, but I'd imagine there are pressure points in the feet. I expect your reflexologist would know?

Oh my god, I am so unbelievably tired!! I had an hours nap and I feel worse. I have major, major rage. I might kill DH tonight if he doesn't shut up. And I've got loads to do before the morning.
Can someone please send help? I will be the one hiding under the duvet, reminding myself that there are all also PMT symptoms.

Thanks chandlers and treacle this is gd news. Thank u for ur reassurance and thank god for cbfm hey xx

Hi chandlers, good to hear from you, hope you had a lovely trip to the UK and you manage to get some sleep tonight! Fx for your scan on Monday also, same day as mine

I had a missed call from clearblue today offering for me to take part in their trial! I'm not sure if I want to though or not?! What does everyone think? Are the cbfms worth it? I seem to get on quite well with Internet cheapies and wondering if it's just another thing for me to obsess over but then it is free???

Ahh I've just googled and it says that if you do an opk while you are taking soy it will show up as positive

I hope that's right but there's always a good opportunity for 'clear the pipes' DTD ready for the cycle ahead spinning!

Thanks Chandlers, ive just sent her a message. Poor woman.
I'm cd14 and had a flashing smiley. Guessing ill ovulate Saturday if anything like normal. If thats what happens then it's fine :)

Hi lucieloosi use the advanced cbfm, cycle 2 using it. Cycle 1 it worked brill for me got 4 highs, 2 peaks, then 1 high then back to lows again.

Cycle 2 now so far only lows, the ladies on hear r reassuring me ovulatin date can change though so fingers crossed it will help with this

Thanks Katy, do you use ic opks at all? Can't decide if I need to be doing both??

Kitty, yes that's what I read when I goggled and yes we'll get in some practice tonight I hope

Treacle, my reflexologist said it was fine to carry on all through the cycle. She always checked where in my cycle I was and then treated my feet accordingly.

Thanks spinning, because it was my first session she didn't know where I was in my cycle til after :/ and she did a lot of work on reproductive and genitals because of my vulvodynia.
Hope its ok.

Lucie - we can be scan buddies!! Mine is at 03:30am UK time so I am assuming I'll be done first... Good luck for yours! Will it just be the good old dildocam or blood tests too? Fx for you!!

Thanks for the info all on the soy//OPK matrix of confusion - sure if have tested over the weekend and got all excited Would be interesting to know how long it takes to stop giving false positives.

Right it's now 02:15 so I'm gonna try to sleep!! Here's to a mammoth lie-in tomorrow

Boo , so pretty sure it's done for this cycle dispate all my symptoms since just did a frer and it was a bfn on 11 dpo so by now surely should show if I was pregnant ... So f annoyed after this all day nausea etc for days now so I'm suffering for nothing once again aargh . A bit confused about my cycle length though since forgot to mark in my calendar last period dates since we skipped that one and few before that . Had marked down the ov date though and then remember getting this cycles ov very early compared to normal .

Chandlers - I'm so intrigued to see how you get on on Monday. Although we know it clearly works (MrsE and kitty are lovely proof) it'll be pretty cool to actually see it working!
Is love to have massages that regularly! Lucky thing... Although yes - no massage through tww!

Treacle - your reflexologist should know exactly where she's prodding so don't worry
