First month using soy isoflavones 1dpo
We have been ttc for eight months now. This month I decided to try soy isoflavones. I didn't read into it until I had already started my cycle so I did days 4-8 and took 160 for all five days. In addition I used 2000mg of maca on thoughs days as well. I know you Bay posed to use maca from cd1 to ovulation but I was getting a really bad headache (probably more likely from the soy) either way I only used both for five days. My cycles are irregular ranging from 23 to 37 days. Last month ovulation wasn't until cd22 but this cycles I just ovulated on cd15 so a full week sooner. Plus I actually felt ovulation ( lots of cramping and a sensation of fullness). Hoping this is my month. I am 1dpo today. Anyone care to join for soy, classic ttc, or and vitamin veterans out there?

I wish I could post a photo. But it was such a relief. The baby looked amazing I was right on the date exactly I am eight weeks and two days. That baby even though was tiny looked like a small baby instead of a alien. The heart rate was beautiful at 158. And surprisingly for the first time in three years my blood pressure was perfect 110/80. So when I though it was going to be a major issue I was stressed for nothing.
How's the tww going? Any new symptoms and how's the cramping?

That made me smile bigtime :)
So happy to hear. Congratulations. Thats the best feeling ever. Good to be able to calm and just enjoy.
My tww is somewhere. My body is messing with me. I tested again yesterday and it was bfn and under normal tww today would be the Day af should arrive. Been having a funny cycle with ewcm all over the Place and af like cramping since 5 Days maybe and very sensitive uterus. Feels like im just constantly ovulating. And cervix position kind of indicates ovulation as well.
So basically i have just no idea. Guess i Will just have to wait for af to arrive. My feeling is that though IF i ovulated it was probably later than usually so i might still be on my tww.
Again! So great Everything is fine. I wish i Will be there soon with you too :)

Such a strange cycle. I am so sorry that is literally the worse. I remember countless cycles in the am I or what's going on limbo. I really really hope this is your month!!
And thank you so much. I go back on the seventh of next month for another ultrasound so at least I have that to look forward too

babyberg- sorry for the stalking but I was reading your thread and noticed you got your BFP with the Soy isoflavones. I was just wondering if you tried red raspberry leaf? I just started that yesterday with baby aspirin. If that doesn't work I was thinking about starting the soy.

I had tried my third cycle with no success. I have also used maca and black cod, but they where all in the beginning cycles of trying so I feel they no way assisted with my soy cycle being positive. ( considering my soy cycle was my ninth cycle trying). I have already had my confirmation ultrasound and I have a healthy viable pregnancy. I am nine weeks and two days and just thrilled but I swear by the soy and by the amounts I took. I am the kind of person who doesn't even take meds for headaches so I put months of research into how I choose to take it. I wish you luck and if this isn't your month I suggest the soy.

Hej Babyberg, thanks for checking up on me.
I am honestly still in my strange cycle since AF hasnt arrived yet. So I bet that I was correct about delayed ovulation, seems that it only happened the day before estimated period or so since after that I dried up like usually, cramping went away cervix went down and I got sore boobs.
But after that I am not really experiencing any symptoms, so I feel very much out this time. Only when I went to bed last night I felt something in my uterus, cant call it pains or cramps but something hehe. Trying to think positive ;)
Seems like this TWW will turn out to be FWW (4ww) this time for me. :/
Assuming I was right would mean I am around 6dpo today.
So I think that when(if) AF arrives I will just go back to Maca, wildjam root and red raspberry leaf tea.
Those seem to do wonder for balancing my cycle (although i am unsure about my ovulation on them) might go all in next time and start temping and using opk´s althought I know its gonna stress me. I need to try to figure out if I actually do ovulate and I think I can only do that by temping?

Hey kungfupanda- still battling morning sickness and chase a toddler is challenging but greatful lol. If your able to temp that's great, I tried it for once cycle ( I know it takes like four cycles to find your pattern) but it was just really challenging for me. I am not a good sleeper so I wake up constantly and with my son having such a changing schedule I wasn't able to stick to the same time every morning after not moving for hours. I wish I was "normal" :) so I had to settle for the opk's. I am so bumbed that this cycle is just supper crazy for you. But I still have my fingers crossed!!!

If thats the only way to get a correct number I guess I will not be very good at temping either. I wake up every night and my sleeping pattern is not so good either :) I might try and see how it goes though. I am just curious to try and figure If I actually ovulate. I sometimes feel like I get the soft symptoms but only once every few months I get a strong ovulation pain were I am convinced that ovulation did happen.
Hehe I bet its pretty tough chasing a toddler while gagging in the morning. Hopefully soon it will be over though and you will only have to deal with your toddler :)
