So.....after doing some reading on the board last night, and also doing some of my own research, I found out that Soy Isoflavones are able to "induce" ovulation...or pretty much just shorten your cycle, and works very much like Clomid. (I had a 45day cycle last month, O'd on cd32...) I went out and bought some!!! :) I took 80mg, which is what is recommended to start out at...and it seemed to have gone wonderful!! I took them before bed, like recommended, and didnt experience any hot flashes or headache or anything!! It was only the first night...so, we'll see what happens over the next 4 nights (you are only supposed to take them 5 days per cycle, around cd5-10).
I also did some more research on Vitamin A. I was drinking a "Naked Juice" and notcied that there was like over 12000IU of vitamin A in it, so I pulled up google and came across this article:

VERRRRRY interesting!! The entire website itself has alot of good info too, but pretty much the vitamin A has got me sold. I had an issue with my cm last month, which is probably why I didnt get my bfp last month!! Vitamin A helps to incream the quantity and quality of your cm!! :) wooo!! So check out the article, I think I am gonna stop by walgreens and pick up a bottle....

Well I hope soy works for you! I didnt take mine until CD7-12, just read about it a little late. Anyway, I usually O on CD30-35, and at about CD 18, this cycle, I thought I may have O'd (watery CF, a big temp jump, kinda moody, and my OPK showed the darkest at about CD 15-16) but then this morning (CD 19)
Can some give me link to support Soy, all the websites I found suggest it delays ovulation.
Thanks
Here is the link....
If these work for you this month, I'll have to keep it in the back of my mind and try them if I don't get a BFP soon.
