Continuation of previous threads new name...

@Elakiya maybe I just need that little boost for a stronger egg I won't mind if it delays my ovulation and increases my cycle length a bit as I would feel (in my mind nothing scientific to back it up) that its actually growing my egg properly and giving it a chance to fully mature hahahaha I know that's probably total hogwash but yeah I would actually wouldnt mind ovulating later 🤣🤣 but if it doesnt and I still ovulate normal time I will be telling myself this is a good strong egg hahahaa anything to justify it 🤣🤣🤣 I wasn't feeling this optimistic when I woke up this morning so thank you so much even if it doesnt work you have lifted my spirits and my morale is up again.

I will be the guinea pig and if I have it goes terribly wrong and messes up my cycle horribly and everything goes to shit I will let you know not to take this but if nothing bad happens and I still just get a BFN you can bet your ass I will be trying it again whahahahah.

@Elakiya awww its a pleasure I dont feel like I have done much but I am so pleased to hear you are feeling better xx

@candycrush2299 you defs need to give it a go and see what happens! I haven't decided whether to try again next month as we'd be getting closer to me being heavily pregnant/having a newborn for our wedding reception next year.. But I'd be tempted to give it a try after reading that thread!

I think I’ll join you on those!

@Welliedays @NamechangeTTC I will let you guys know how it goes, took the first dose last night.

@Kaybobx have you tested?

What is it you’re taking @candycrush2298

@Boc86 I am taking Soy Isoflavones, @Elakiya was so kind and copied and pasted from a thread on what it does. Its dubbed the "natural clomid" and is to be taken like clomid and I went and Googled I pasted a link with a 22pg thread of BFPs, some took it for short luteal phases, pcos, unexplained infertility, or simply because they didn't want to wait. So I am taking 120mg (Tesco Brand) from CD3-CD7. It may or may not work but with all the success I figured if its going to strengthen my eggs why not give it a bash.

@candycrush2298 I stupidly took a pregnancy test today ( it’s 9 dpo why did I bother 🤦🏾‍♀️) because those damn erect nipples aren’t going away hubby thinks it hilarious. I am just annoyed because it means I have to wear a bra around the house. Have really bad cramps so I can feel the arrival of AF 🤦🏾‍♀️ Here we go again.

@Elakiya was it negative? With all your extremely high tests you dont know when you ovulated hun you could be like 6dpo for all we know. Dont lose hope yet.

I understand just wanting to test I really do and I also think the erect nipples are strange. I mean like what else could it actually be? Did anyone else have erect nipples and they got their BFPs??

@candycrush2298 apparently erect nipples can be a sign of ovulation but just not one I’ve had before. It’s soo annoying because it’s actually quite painful having them up like that all the time 🤦🏾‍♀️.

That’s very true I don’t really know when and if I ovulated however I am going by the fact that I have always got my period in 14 days after my 1st peak so am guessing I am 9 dpo using that which is probably awful maths esp as I may have a shorter LP.

I really wanna try soy next month I’ll do a bit of research to see if it’s okay to take with metformin

@Elakiya a sign of ovulation???? But your way past ovulation now lol!!! How bizarre. And I am sure that them being erect would be sore!!! Argh hope you feel better soon. And I am sorry the test is negative.

Yeah I would also just work it from first peak because you need something to work with on a daily basis hahaha cant be stumbling around. First peak is probably best. Still hoping for you hun!!! Someone has to bring us an April baby from here hahahah!!

Yeah do some research and see if it can work for you with what you on. I am really feeling so rejuvenated about this cycle I cannot thank you enough even if this cycle turns into another BFN you lifted my mood up 💜

@Elakiya @candycrush2298 a negative for me too but I wasn't expecting anything different haha!!

What is with these erect nips! Mine are still poking eyes out too!

@Kaybobx @Elakiya think you two are are having a really similar cycle. Its still early though for both of you. When is AF due for you @Kaybobx?

@candycrush2298 18th AF is due, another long 7 days!

Are you all good to go and back to BDing?

I'm going to try the soya too if unsuccessful. I was reading some forums last night. What mg is the tesco own brand? Do you have to double them up? I cant imagine them being much.
I had a look online and at H&B etc they are really expensive!

@Kaybobx omg 7 days at least you onto the final stretch now lol!!!

Yeah H&B are also very powerful which is why they so expensive like 750mg where as for what we want it for we should never exceed 200mg.
The tesco ones are 40mg so I am taking 3 (120mg total)
Didn't know you were following the thread hahaha thats fab did you see all the success stories I am blown away!!

Yeah finishing AF today and will start BD'ng tomorrow.

@kaybobx we're definitely in unison this month :D. I'm due 17th.

@candycrush2298 I have a very faint indent line/evap on the pregnancy test. I tried taking a picture of it but can't pick it up. I don't think it's anything though but just shows that I should not blindly trust easy@home

@candycrush2298 its so long! And I'll probably be late too.

Haha i just had a nose when @elakiya posted it. There we're quite a few success stories weren't there. Definitely worth giving it a go. Crazy how these things keep popping up thats we've never heard of haha.

Ah that's fab you can start again. You'll be catching us up soon.

@Elakiya ah thats fab! And both approaching AF with hard nipples too haha!!

Ahhhh praying thats a postive for you!! Did it have a hint of colour could you see?

@Kaybobx No colour at all.

@Elakiya yeah I think with any cheap test though there is margin for error and evaps/indents are way more common on strip tests. Its just the price we pay for wanting to test early using cheaper strips lol!!! Well let's hope your indent turns into a real positive in the next few days. Really holding thumbs xx

@Kaybobx whats the longest your luteal phase has ever been? Was last cycle the longest?

I know and some of the threads I read were from 2011 its like whaaat its been about for years and I have never heard of it whahahaha I have been on the "market" for pregnancy tips for 2 years how did I miss this 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yeah at this rate not this cycle but next cycle I will be closer aligned to you ladies hahahaah.

@Kaybobx was yours 100% negative not even a hint? Sorry you got a negative😒

@candycrush2298 That's true they are still good tests. The more I stare at this test the more I realise that I am probably just seeing a line where I want there to be a line.

I'll test again on Friday

@candycrush2298 no completely negative but i have the cheapest most terrible tests and im 8dpo haha.

The last 2 cycles were my longest at 17days! Not sure why they have become so long.

You'd think GPs would recommend soya if its natural and that easy to use. I've literally googled everything and still never found this haha

@candycrush2298 @Kaybobx

I asked the lady that posted about the soy questions about what else she took
"@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"

@Kaybobx yh 8 dpo I don't think many people get a second line so you're not really out.

@candycrush2298 You just watch you're going to take this soy thing and it's going to make you have twins hahaha! You were hoping for one and suddenly 2 turn up!
