The Fabulous ONE Thread ~ **Feb 28th-March 6th** - Page 2

Finnegansmom - I totally understand. And, realistically I should probably wait until Sunday because I'll only be 9DPO at that point. In my head I'm telling myself that I just wont test at all, I'll wait for AF to show or not show. Uh huh, right.

Well, I love tofu too. A lot. Without restriction, I eat TONS of soy products... soy milk, tofu, fake meat, tempeh, etc.

So, apparently there is a phyto-estrogen in soybeans, and this could potentially, in large doses, cause an estrogen imbalance... so progesterone would be (relatively) low, giving me the late o and short lp I have... who knows how much effect it has, but I figure moderation is important, and I eat so much of it...

Also, the "making babies" book says I am "tired" and recommends against a lot of soy products...

Anyway, I am still eating it... We're making tofu stir fry for dinner. Yum!

I'm still chilling out waiting on that WONDERFUL appointment with my RE....i'm so mad that i'm having to wait until the middle of my cycle to go back to see him...especially since he was the one who caused me to be over stimulated!!!! ANYWAYS....g/l ladies...i've been stalking the past 10 days since AF found me...i'm pulling for all of ya!!!!

It's also been shown to lower sperm count in men ..... http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7519459.stm

I eat a fair amount of Soy. Not every meal but maybe something 5 times a week? I don't drink alot of SoyMilk - Sometimes I have it in cereal but I get sick of it fast.
I always had 14 day LPs though, until nursing, which shortened them. Can it lower your temps in the LP? Why do people take Soy isoflavins or whatever then?

Oh and my DH wouldn't eat soy if his life depended on it. Perhaps a bacon wrapped soybean....maybe....

[Stevi]

I took soy isoflavons in the past as a natural replacement for Clomid. It is supposed to trigger more eggs, if I remember correctly. But, you only take it for 5 days, not continuously!

[finnegansmom]

Ugh, my temp was up again today but I just took a FRER and it was of course negative. And now I feel guilty I wasted a test. Argh....I'm SOOO annoyed with myself. And now I feel super crampy like AF is right around the corner.

How is everyone else doing this monday?

[CLH_X3]

When do you think I should test ? Tomorrow morning ? Or should I wait ? Ha ..

Tomorrow morning would be 11DPO? That sounds good to me!

Wow so many FEBRUARY BFPs! Congrats to those ladies!!

Can I please be removed from the waiting to be ready section? I don't know when I will be ready, so it seems silly to keep me on there, especially when I'm not even lurking in this thread anymore...well rarely. It's sad, I still really really want a second child and feel like I can't wait, but I know waiting is better for right now, and making life better for us before bringing a new baby into it yk?

Im pretty sure...well REALLY hoping that by the end of this year I will be back TTC again It isn't that long to wait really....time does go by quickly. Im sure it will be a whole new group of ladies here by that time, goodluck to you all on your TTC journeys!

ETA Im still charting, OPK testing, taking prenatals and continuing to learn about ttc/fertility, so when It's time I will be ready!

[CLH_X3]

Well il test tomorrow morning ... If I get up in time otherwise it will have to be Thursday

My DP is out of town and has made me promise (the coveted pinky-promise) that I would NOT test until she returns, which means I can't test until Sunday morning. Oh the horror. Anyone else testing around that time? I would love to have someone to wait it out with.


I can't wait for the March BFP's to start rolling in.

I'm with you, Dana. I'm not touching an HPT of any kind until Sunday at the earliest, depending on what my chart looks like.

So 2ww ladies... what are you doing to keep from going crazy? I've got plans with my family, I'm trying a new cookie recipe, and I have to finish a book for my book club meeting Friday.

I need to step away from the tests and the computer.

I'm doing some house stuff right now in our "new" house (used to be my inlaws). So while I'm not thinking about peeing on things, I'm installing new flooring in the bathroom and painting, and cleaning closets and that kind of awesomeness. I've been very productive the last few weeks....LOL....I think of it as pre-pregnancy nesting. Because once the first wave of exhaustion and MS sets in, I'll be couchridden for weeks... and weeks....

[hollytheteacher]

Ooops just now realizing I forgot to ask to be in the WAITING TO KNOW section. I am 7dpo and tested (hahah i know i know) and of course bfn.

But i'm still hopeful and will going to buy more tests in a few days i'm sure! lol

[SimplyRochelle]

Just waiting for AF over here. My temp went down a bit again today, still not under my coverline though. Got another BFN. Just ready to get on with things.

[jenniferadurham]

Think AF may be on her way...I feel bubbly down in that area. And it sounds like my ovaries are growling LOL. I resisted taking a test this morning...YAY ME! I will wait until Fri if AF hasnt shown. If we arent pg this cycle we will try for next. The only thing that sucks is that DH was on call the week we tried this last time. And guess what...he's on call this cycle too when we need to be trying. GR. We've also decided to TTC in march and possibly get another Dec baby. The EDD would be about 4-5 days before DS's bday...lol. We just want another baby! I think DH is getting more into wanting a baby for himself bc he's the one that suggested TTC again in march, and he's the one that said no in the first place.

Just moved you.
Haha, I tested today too.....

[Kyamo]

I have had a lot of sore breasts recently, and even nausea a few times which is rare for me. So of course, what do I start thinking? This is stupid, as by my chart I pretty clearly haven't ovulated! Someone knock some sense into me!

[iheartmyfamily]

thanks for the new thread!

I have been silen on here for the past week or so. I guess the 14 months of bfn's has gotten to me. I'm on cd10 today and not anxious about O this month. I just can't stomach another obsessive month so i'm going to lay back do the dance and see what happens.

Hope that march's bfp list is super long!

s to you and iheartmyfamily and all the other BFNs... it just sucks!

AFM still no AF, but i am feeling a little crampy and gasy... but i dont feel like she is coming. i have the call the Doc on Wed if she does not show so i will prob test before that with a HPT just to make sure maybe we will have another WOW on the test, but my hopes are not up... so fingers and toes crossed for me!
