How are your cycles going? The soy is def making me O later. In fact, of all of my 60+ cycles ttc, I think this will the the latest O EVER! CD16 and OPK is *almost* pos!
Feeling lots going on - on my left side, and sometimes my right.
I *think* I may have ovulated a little earlier this time. But, I can't know for sure because I don't temp and this month I didn't do any OPKs. The reason I think I already ovulated is fertile CM already peaked, and TMI I had diarrhea for a few days leading up to the peak day which I read is a sign of hormone surging and I vaguely remember this happening to me in the past. So I am thinking that the soy did the trick and resulted in a stronger ovulation. I also had alot of feeling like stuff was going on in the ovaries, and that has now passed. We have had a good month in terms of BDing. So my bases should be covered. I just need to decide when I should start using progesterone cream, just to cover all my bases. I'll start testing on the weekend. It'll probably be early, but I always start early.
I am hoping I'll start getting some symptoms in the next couple of days.
I'm confused now. EWCM is not going away...it's not as much as it was before, but it's still definitely there. I'm either pregnant already, or this is one super long drawn out attempt to O..or I'm ovulating again. argh. Not sure what to do or think now. :/
CD 27 here and I still don't think I O'd... not sure what is going on with my body at this point. DH and I have been BDing every day and if not then every other day just in case but not much I can do but sit back and wait.

Julie, the same thing is happening to me. No sign of O yet, but I still have EWCM. I wonder if you aren't ovulating again. My opk's were getting darker, then got lighter and now are blazing positive yesterday. I hope it means good things!

I feel the same way, not sure what is going on. I normally can feel O - and I felt lots going on down there the last week or so...but I don't think I O'd yet and I'm on CD18, which is late for me. This is however my first cycle since M/C AND I'm STILL spotting from AF! CRAZY.
Well, they say you are more fertile the month after M/C and during your birth month, so I have every thing on my side Well, except the heat got to DH and I and we were cranky and hot and didn't BD last night - even though I had a +OPK GRRRR!

Weird! I've never not ovulated, and the only time I've gotten ewcm after I think I've already ovulated is when I'm pregnant. I hope it means I'm pregnant, rather than that I didn't ovulate. This is like CD 20, and I usually ovulate by now. :/ I *think* I did around CD14 this time.
Curious...did you do an OPK today? OPKs can get positive again when you're pregnant too. I had a cycle where I didn't know if I'd ovulated yet and the sudden return of positive looking OPKs made me try an HPT, which was positive...
I'm out for this cycle. I think my dose was a bit too high. I'm showing signs of a mild case of OHSS, so no BDing. Pretty sure I ovulated yesterday evening, and we did BD yesterday before I started showing signs of OHSS, but I just don't think it worked. I'm very uncomfortable and hoping this pain eases quickly.
We won't be preventing, but we won't be actively trying anymore either. This was the last round until I am done with school and find an amazing job. By that point...... I don't know. We will reevaluate at that point, but I think we are starting to prepare ourselves for the reality that we won't be having any children together. That's part of why I haven't been posting. I hate to be a Debbie Downer.
Best of luck to you ladies. I hope you get your rainbows very soon!

Don't feel like you still can't post here hun. As much as I wish I was not saying it, I'm starting to come to terms with not being a mother at all. I took soy this cycle and I'm pretty sure I did not even O at all. My body is broken and at this point my heart is as well. It's pretty sad when DH & I used to say "when we have kids" all the time and yet this past year I haven't heard it once from either of us...

Aw Katie, I'm sorry it's at that point for you. I had high hopes for you awhile back when you got that nice positive OPK and all. Life just isn't fair!!! I'm sorry.

My hpt was negative last Friday, so I'm quite certain I'm not pg. My opk yesterday was almost pos (like coming down from surge) and today's (just took one now) is half colored, so I'm pretty sure I'm going to O today, I sort of feel it coming on, I hope.
I hope you are preggers!!!! It's crazy I am just about to O now. I normally O arond CD14-15 and I, too, have never NOT ovulated.
I do agree opk's can get pos again - that is why I *thought* I was preggo last time I was, it got really dark.

Oh Katie! I have been in your shoes. And you know what? When I got to the point where I told myself and actually THOUGHT it to be true, that DH and I might not have children - is when we got pregnant with Mallory. I sort of felt like I was at the end of our 4+ year TTC journey and if IVF didn't work, I was okay with knowing we'd done all we could and could do no more than that. There was no regrets. I came to terms that Mike and I would have a good life together, travel and everything would be just fine. I had a plan and accepted it. It seems that when we think we have it all figured out, we don't.
It can be SO frustrating when our bodies don't work the way we want them to. ((HUGS))
A friend of mine said to me once, "If God didn't want me to have children, he would remove the desire from my heart." And I totally think this is true. There is a plan. I just hate not knowing what that plan is. Right now, a friend is going through ttc and is having troubles, sometimes I feel like I have infertility in order to help others (I'm teaching her all about OPK's!) and I feel tremendous support from you Katie. We are here for you too!

Matt and I often had conversations in the past about "When our babies come" or "When our babies are older". Now the conversation has turned to "When Sierra and Will leave in a few years....".
I know that our situations are a bit different because I am blessed to have my two kids from my first marriage, but it breaks my heart to realize that Matt may never know the joy of having a child of his own. It breaks my heart realizing that I will never carry one of his children to term. We may end up calling in the big guns (IVF) to give it another try in a few years, but at this point that seems unlikely. We may consider adoption, but at this point we have seen too many other people experiencing adoptions gone bad. I don't know if either of us is willing to take that risk. It just sucks.
:hugs: I'm sorry that you are going through this too. I wish I could wave a magic wand and give us all the babies we want so badly.
I started the progesterone last night. I am confident that I ovulated already. I've started peeing like crazy and have had some minor nausea...so I am hoping those are good signs.
-sigh- I have no idea what is going on here. The symptoms of OHSS are gone, and if it was OHSS, they wouldn't be. My doctor also said that it is highly unlikely that I would develop OHSS from Soy because of how I responded to Clomid. (Ummmm, he didn't do any monitoring aside from checking my progesterone on CD 21 in one single cycle.......a cycle that I didn't even ovulate until CD 18, so it would have been off anyway. This is why I want a new doctor!)
With that said.... my OPK's are all over the place depending on when I take them, but they are still pretty dark, indicating that I did not ovulate. My temp has increased a bit the past two days so maybe I did ovulate, maybe I didn't. My CM has dried up indicating that I did ovulate. I don't know which symptoms to go by. No idea what to expect or when to expect AF. It doesn't help that I missed two days of temping/OPK's last week, so there is this little window of time that I am wondering about now. -sigh-
I guess it doesn't really matter at this point. What's done is done. I can only "relax" (Gosh I hate that word!) and wait to see how this turns out now.
I'm camping this week, so I've decided no temping or even thinking about testing this week. In fact, I am not going to test at all until the 18th. That is the day after my kids leave, so it will a crappy day anyway. If I get a BFN, no big deal. If I get a BFP, it will turn things around! Also, if I get a BFP then, I don't have to try to hide if from the kids because they won't be home. We won't be revealing a pregnancy (even to them) until after the end of the first trimester, and with them being gone for two months, this would be the PERFECT time. My fingers are crossed, but I am not getting my hopes up.
So, what about you ladies? How are your cycles going?
I feel all messed up still. I had a backache this am, which usually means af is coming in a week. We'll see. A little heartburn the last couple days, and I never really get that. I hate waiting.
I'm going to test Saturday and def Sunday - as I want a bfp for my bday Sunday
