NPC/soy/where has my cycle gone? Help

Hi Ladies,

Ok so here is the story. This month was my first month in 3 cycles without clomid. So I took soy from day 3-9 and NPC days 16-28 hopping that I would get my period. I did have some spotting which I would have swore was my AF arriving but it only lasted a day and a half (so strange). Here I am day 36 with no AF and not preggers. Although I will take another test tomorrow am just to be sure (we are ttc). Does anyone have any advice/suggestions for me? I really did not want to do the prometrium thing...but I think I may have too.

I have also been charting this month and am going to try and link my chart to this post. http://www.fertilityfriend.com/ttc/i...hp?interface=0

Thanks in advance ladies...I am at a loss as to what to try next.

I can't see your chart with that link.

Was it heavy spotting? Did you need a pad or anything? It's possible that was af, perhaps you didn't ovulate and your lining was thin. I'm using Soy and npc also and what I've been doing is waiting until ovulation is confirmed to start my npc. If you get to cd25 or later and still no ov you could either take 5 more days of Soy or start the npc to begin a new cycle. Also, how much npc are you using? I use 1/2 tsp two times a day (am and pm).

Ecks...I wonder what I am doing wrong with that link thing...oh well...its a lot of ups and downs and everything all over the place. The spotting was fairly heavy...enough to have to use some type of protection...but by the afternoon the next day...NADA?!

I started out doing 20mg/1 pump twice a day (am/pm) but it made me feel super drunk/tired/sluggish/foggy...Kinda like a walking zombie...so after about 5 days I figured it out and took 2 pumps in the pm only. I must admit after I changed the time I took it I felt FABULOUS!! And really had my hopes up that I could get my body back on track with the ovulating/AF....

Perhaps if the HPT is neg tomorrow I will start at day 3 again with the soy and then wait to O and start the NPC again?! I am so lost...yikes...
