Soy Isoflavones? - Page 5

kerrbear7183 · May 13th, 2012, 00:59 AM

I plan on taking soy my next cycle. Right now I'm just waiting for AF to show up. We took a little break this month because I was driving myself crazy with charting. I have some anovulatory cycles and don't want to go for Clomid right away like my doctor is recommending. I was planning to take it on CD3-7 and am either going to do 120mg every day, or 120mg 3-5 and 160mg 6 & 7.

Is it better to up the dose the last day or two? Or should I take the same dose every day?

I wouldn't know Kerr. I took 100mg CD5, then 150mg CD6-9. I didn't increase on last day because it's my first time taking it.
120mg - 160mg sounds good.
I'm seeing my doctor in two weeks, so hopefully she can help me in this month doesn't work out.

Some say that giving a little increase the last day or two is more like how the body naturally increases FSH throughout the cycle. I've always upped it the last two days, I guess just read up and see what you think! Good luck!

Thanks ladies!

I'm just happy to be done taking it

I had bad headaches and cramps. Another reason I didn't want to increase to 200mg.
If it doesn't work this month I'll just do 150mg and 200mg then. I'm stupid, I bought the pill this month but forgot to check the exp. date, they are exp. this month

Does soy increase chances for twins?

RoccoBoxr · May 13th, 2012, 21:03 PM

Yes, some data shows that soy iso's do increase your chances of twins, much like clomid does

danielle1984 · May 13th, 2012, 21:05 PM

I would love twins. My mother-in-law is a twin and it skip generation. Plus, I got a reading two years ago and everything she told me happen which is weird. She was very good, she mention that she could see two pregnancies but three kids. I can't wait to see.

I would love twins too,

My DH worries about our age (33 and 35) and us wanting two kids, so I figure both at once would be great! But hey, not that we wouldn't be elated with however it happens. Lots of the soy iso info that I found was actually from a website for people trying to conceive twins, so I heard a lot about how it can cause (just like clomid) stronger ov, better eggs, and possibly more than one follicle.

Not to add any crazy ideas, but that website talked a lot about people wanting twins and doing soy iso's from CD's 1-5 and then clomid days 5-9. I'd be super hesitant to try it, other info I've seen says they'd cancel each other out, but hey - another year of trying and I might be up for anything!!

I would be open to the idea of twins. Twins run in my family and my husband's. My husband is a twin, but the father's side doesn't increase your chances of twins. Only the mother's side does.
