I'm on CD 9 today and I have LOADs of EWCM!!!! More than I've ever had...I also got a pretty dark OPK tonight...This morning it was light, then I Took one a while ago and it's about "half" positive i'd day...I hope I don't jinx things!!! Last month I Ovulated on CD 18, so i'm hoping that this is it!!!
On another note, it's been a very emotional weekend...I just talked to my dad on the phone for the first time since I was 12 years old (i'm going to be 31 in a month)...I'm meeting him tomorrow and i'm a nervous wreck....I hope to catch up this week on the board...DH goes back to work monday...I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!

I *think* you ended up doing 80mg CD 3-7, right? That's great that it seems to be doing good things for you! Mine didn't help with my O date, but my CM is just unreal!  Not sure if that's because of the soy though... Mine was 80mg 4-8.
My OPK is about "half positive" right now too -- maybe we'll end up in the same DDC

Just a quick update...It's been a LONG day! Emotionally exhausting!!!
My OPK is lighter today, but both times I took it I had been drinking a lot, so I hope that's why...Last month I got some almost positive tests at around the same time, and then still didn't O till late, so we'll see...I have never had as much EWCM as I had yesterday...Not sure about today, i've been gone and haven't checked.
Erin, I took 80mg on CD 3 and then moved up to 100 mg the rest of the days.

I've been SOOOOOOOOO busy, I haven't even taken an OPK....I did use my monitor and I have a pretty dark line on it (darker than usual), but it was still a low reading...I'm going to take an OPK here pretty soon  ...I don't seem to be having the EWCM like I was, and my temp has been up the last couple of days? I hope I didn't already ovulate...I guess we'll see...I also feel bad, i'm so behind on the board....I hope to catch up tonight...All my christmas things are now put away, but I still have a lot of cleaning to do this week.

Just wanted to do an OPK update
I took an OPK and it's almost postive!!!! I've never had a positive this early in my cycle!!! YAY!!! I was so worried the Soy would make it later...I bet tomorrow it's positive, or even tonight before I go to bed.
