Hi jessmama and southernmomma welcome to all
I<3kids I really hope that's why I feel terrible I have had meetings at work all day and it was such a struggle not leaping up to be sick lol!!
Jessmama prayer is the strongest of all those and I have been praying hard 2 so hopefully we will be blessed with our twins
I lost a twin 10years ago and this babies due date will be the due date of my son (remaining twin) so I conceived on the same day 10years later !
Southernmomma 6 babies is amazing I love having so many children although its hard its so rewarding I really hope you have a boy or 2 to balance the family

Mummy of 6, hope this pregnancy gets easier for you! I've heard that it's a good thing to have m/s, etc., that your body is kicking things into high gear and your hormones are in good shape for the pregnancy. I don't have much at the beginning, usually, typically start getting sick around the 15 week mark. Make sure you eat a lot of snacks during the day!

I was just reading back through the thread and saw you took soy too- did it give you major cramps? I had cramping/pinching in both sides during ov. and still have bad cramps now. I only took 240mg total and didn't go the full four days. Seemed odd.

I took 200mg cd 2-6 it was hard as they were so big I struggled to take so many as it was 8 pills a night ! But I didn't get nasty side effects so that was good
I had ovary pain and pinching on both sides too and the 3 days before I actually ovulated I felt major fullness I thought I had ovulated earlier as all the pinching etc felt like actual ov pain and I thought the fullness was early pregnancy feeling but turns out I hadn't ovulated yet the fullness was so peculiar I could really feel something strange when I walked and I could feel lumps on the outside when I lay down then once I had ovulated that all went.
Also you said your cm was watery I had ewcm on the two days I thought I was fertile then on the actual night I conceived it was sticky so I really thought that wasn't the fertile time but turns out it was as I thought I had already conceived few days before I wasn't even careful after bd I jumped straight up and went to the bathroom so it was amazing I actually caught but our bodies are amazing and do what they like so your cm was probably fertile regardless of what it looked like. I had a blatant positive hpt 3dpo ! Which the doc still can't explain it just shows you never know what's going on in there really

Omg, 3 DPO? Are you having multiples? Haha.. You'll have to update once you get your ultrasound!! Soy rocks!

Hi there :) first of congratulations on the bfp's. :)

Me and dh would love twins or a girl but twins would be nice :)

Quick question about the iso flav. I heard that when you have a reliable cycle you shouldn't take it because it could screw up your cycle.

And I live in ireland. They don't sell cassava here :(... sadly can't take it. Anything else that will work for twins?

Vitex is good for overall fertility.. Maca has estrogen- like qualities, so I was told.. But soy isoflavones are really the only thing that has that affect, that I know of.
I'm not convinced cassava works, I haven't seen or heard of anyone it's worked for. Soy isos definitely work to make me hyperovulate. I hasn't messed up my cycle. But like clomid, you don't want to take it every month for months on end, that will certainly mess you up.. I take it for two months in a row at the most. I started with small amounts just to see what my body's reaction would be. Use your best judgement. Good luck!

Maca has many different properties that can help balance hormones. It is very beneficial.

I am also trying to conceive twins. I had two children, 4 and 6 years old. I know it is very hectic and so much work is involved that's why I had enrolled both my kids to preschool, so that I got time to think and relax.

Hi ladies hope you are all well
I had an ultrasound this week one tiny heartbeat I am 7 weeks 1 day today so saw a heartbeat at 6 weeks 3 days I was very surprised to see one so early I have never had an early scan before so I suppose I didn't know what to expect but very happy and relieved that all is well I was really expecting to be having multiples as have never felt so ill with any of my other babies but I'm over the moon with my one tiny bean
