Pregnancy tests

Even if it's PMS it would be great to get you onto another cycle.

Yes!!
Well CD1 today..Kinda sad kinda relieved!
Should I try the soy isoflavones?

[atomic sagebrush]

Yes, let's give it a whirl, CD 3-7 just like taking Clomid

Let's consider looking into myoinositol and DHEA too. Prob too late to order for this month but for next if we need to

[djmommy]

I tried the myoinstiol and I stopped because it was like cd 20 and I hadn't ovulated. I just had TSH and it was 1.76.
How much dhea?
Thanks

Also to add, I can't believe I am asking after all these years....lol cd 1 was super light, but was more than wiping/spotting. Still count as cd 1 right?

[atomic sagebrush]

Oh yeah that's right, thank you for refreshing my memory.

I would start with 25 mg daily, and see if you have any side effects. At BFP, we would wean off this by spacing doses further and furher out till down to one per week, then you can drop them.

[djmommy]

What type of side effects would be expected?

[atomic sagebrush]

Like those of high testosterone - breakouts, body hair, hair loss, increased irritability - but has some upsides too like weight loss, muscle growth, and improved libido (I would honestly take it myself for the benefits but it interacts with some medication I'm on)

At that low a dose you can't OD yourself or anything but don't take more than that wihtout having a doc check your levels. There are some rarer side effects like heart palpitations and high blood pressure but at that low a dose, like I say, very uncommon.

[djmommy]

Ok thanks. I will order a low dose.
I had it tested last year and I want to say it was low, maybe in the 30's? I'll have to double check.
Started the soy today. Gosh I hope it helps in some way

Edit...DHEA was 56 last year

[atomic sagebrush]

That's not bad at all but I'm still inclined for you to give it a whirl, what do you think?

[djmommy]

I will try it out. I should probably start fresh next cycle right?
