Hi ladies,
I’m sooo confused what is happening this month. I took soy isoflavones at the start of my cycle which is like nature’s clomid (day 3-7). I did this once before and got pregnant the first cycle (but it was a miscarriage). It has been 6 months now and my partner and I are ready to try again.
i have somewhat regular 36 day cycle but last month I didn’t ovulate so I thought to take soy so I could ensure it. I took the max dose for all days, which is more than the month I conceived. I ovulate normally on day 22.
im on day 22 now. However, I have had signs that I may have ovulated earlier. My OPK was strong around 19-20. I didn’t get a peak but I wasn’t testing a lot. i had all my ovulation symptoms (strong sharp pains on my left side, extremely increased sexual desire, sensitive nips and super wet). But I didn’t have ewcm. Then I had a few days of elevated BBT. Also even though I didn’t catch a peak on OPK, they all went back to being low after. So there’s me thinking I probably ovulated.
…but then today I had period type cramps, woke up to a low BBT, and I checked and saw ewcm. i also had a lot of nipple pain which only happens at ovulation for me. I’m like oh.. am I ovulating now instead but I took several OPK and they are all still low though. I’m so confused. I never normally get ewcm by the way, so I’m surprised and confused why my opk are still low.
