Soy Isoflavones! Natures Clomid!

Betheney · Feb 7th, 2010, 01:21 AM

I'm currently in the TWW of my first month on Soy isoflavones

And just wanted to post why i think they are so wonderfull!!!

I usually Ov CD22 this month my temps are harder to read and i never got a full +ve OPK. But i definitly ovulated somewhere between CD14 and CD18

so at worst i ovulated 4days EARLIER THAN NORMAL!!! at best 8days!

I'm feeling so fantastic!!!! I took them from CD6-11 (suppose to be CD6-10 but i forgot and went a day over) I took 100mg spread throughout the day 25mg morning 50mg at lunch and 25mg at dinner. I had very strong ov pains as my ovaries were producing fantastic eggs. However i wasn't expecting to ov so early so may have missed my chance to get a BFP but i'm still on my happy high that i managed to Ov so much earlier!!!!

I believe everyone should do some research if you ovulate late or need a little help.

I don't think I have trouble ovulating, but nevertheless, that's very interesting.
Where does one purchase this product? A health food store?

YES I got mine from a healthfood store. I think they were only like $10

I thought you were supposed to take them on "Clomid Days" ie. 1-5, 2-6, 3-7, 4-8 or 5-9.

Also good to note that 100mg of soy is roughly quivalent to 50mg clomid. I got mine at Tescos supermarket. Took some a couple of cycles ago but didn't ov any sooner and I had a really short LP but I think that was the stupid B6 I was taking at the same time.

You are suppose to take them on clomid days but i started a day late and accidently did it for 6 days and it worked anyway. How do you track ov? OPKs?

Probably. B6 is the very devil, as far as I'm concerned.
Although apparently some people are having good experiences with it.
I don't plan to touch is ever again.

Wow maybe I should give soy another go then....next cycle. I track ov with opks and temping. My ov was on CD22 as normal.

Those B vits are the devil!

I took 50mg and my LP went from 10 days to 9 with spotting from 7dpo. Didn't realise it was the vits so upped the dose to 100mg and went down to 3 pathetic days

It also gave me eczema and a constant eye and hand twitch! All those stopped when I stopped taking the vits! The excess doesn't all come out in your pee no matter what people say. Wasted 2 whole cycles messing with my body which is why I am reluctant to try anything anymore.

Hi Julie!!

I know i read somewhere that too much soy can have the opposite effect. But you seem to ov on day18 which is pretty good! so i wouldn't worry. Theres heaps of conflicting information out there about soy and TTC. Google it and you'll find enough i'm sure

THANKS!

OH dear! i'm sorry to hear you had such a bad experience with B6 vits! i think i had an eye twitch once maybe twice since i started b vits and that would be all. I'm one of the ones that have a great experience with them..... My soy-iso contains B-vits as well, although i'm sure only 5days of b vits pre-ov shouldn't make too much of a difference

here is the soy-iso i took which came from a health food store.
