Any Soy Ladies out there?

[sma1588]

^ hi hun, i would say its safe to use it again next month if needed (if its doing good/not throwing cycles off) because its just like clomid and that is used up to 6 months and stopped for a while usually. but hopefully u dont need it anymore

 

[ArticBaby]

Ahhhh thats good .

I used soy on cd 3-7 100mg, the walmart brand this past cycle. I could feel my ovulation coming on. I didnt use opk nor temp . I just "go with the flow" method , didnt really stress out about it, just had fun .

If I dont get a BFP this month is it safe to do it again next month. This is my 2nd cycle usuing it and should I just give it a break next month ?

thanks

Yep, you can use it again. It's more natural than clomid and you don't have to take breaks from it as much as clomid. GL hun.

Hello all. I got my first peak of the month on my CBFM today on CD11 (same as last cycle), so am glad that the Soy hasn't prolonged my cycle - I quite like having a 26 day cycle. So I'm not sure if the SI are having any affect on my ovulation or not. We BD'd yesterday - and will do so again tonight - and if poss tomorrow at some point!

I thought I would come and tell you about my experience of soy since it seems to have had a different effect to me that t.o most of you.

Firstly, a big to my cbfm fellow and Moggy, so so please the pg is progressing well. Will you be able to get an early scan?

I have been ttc since April 09, fell pg in May, m/c in June and many bfn since. I decided to take soy this cycle. Unlike most of you, I am quite regular, but ovulate early, cd10-cd12 and I was concerned that it meant the egg wasn't as good quality as could be. As I normally do, I had ov pains at cd9 and expected to ovulate at cd10 again, got OH busy, but got a high the following day, and the one after...pains continued, and after my fourth high, I started to worry that soy had actually prevented ov, but I finally got my peak this morning, cd14. I am really pleased, so bfp this cycle or not, I feel that soy is having a positive affect on me too.

Good luck everyone and hope we all follow on Moggy's steps

FBbaby - glad to see you - and to here you're having a positive experience this month!

Which days did you take your Soy - I'm slightly concerned I OV too early (along with my GP saying my body needs to work harder to OV), Last 2 cycles had my first peak on CD12. So whilst I like having 26 day cycles - I could cope with 28 if it makes my eggs a little more riper!

 

[FBbaby]

I have done a bit of reading, and whilst ovulating after cd10 is ok, early ov can be associated with the start of a diminishing ovarian reserve and lowering quality. I fell pg first month ttc and I had ovulated at cd10. But you know how it is with ttc and how it brings on hypercondriac symptoms! I worry about this because of my age, 39 and have concluded that my eggs were starting to go off because of it, but until I see the specialist, this is only self-diagnosis, so not reliable!

If you get peaks at cd12, it means you most likely ovulate at cd13 or 14, which is perfect. Even cd12 would be fine. I took the soy day 3-7, 140 mg a day (4 tablets of 35mg). I have clear about to ovulate side discomfort, but it normally only last 1 day. This time, I have felt it for 5 days so it is definitely doing something!

I thought those worrying about ovulating early (cd11 or less) would be interested in knowing that soy can also lengthen follicular phase.

FB - really hope the soy works for you this month hon, still want you to be my bump bud and SD too

 

[FBbaby]

thanks Moggy, really hope to share first trim for a couple of weeks with you.

I ovulated last night, and gosh did I feel it! My cat stepped on mey stomach and I could have screamed even though she is gentle. I normally get some discomfort, but this was borderline pain, never felt anything like this before. Temp went up this morning and still a bit of discomfort, but nothing like the previous days.

Now of course would love a bfp at the end, but regardless of the result, there is no doubt that my body is responding to soy. Wonder what it would do with clomid!!!!

Well I took soy for the first time this cycle CD2-6. I had loads more pains in my ovaries fairly early on...then all went quiet and I finally got my positive opk yesterday but my LH surge was MUCH shorter. Normally get 2-3 days surge and this time it was so short I almost missed it! Don't know if that means anything.
All I know is I still ovd on the same day as last cycle and I have been miserable as he'll since I started taking it so I don't think I will bother next cycle...

Okay so today is CD15 so if we say this is 1dpo then when are we planning to hold on til...I am thinking at least til 12dpo if you can wait, it will be magic if we can share some of 1st tri and more so if we both have little soya beans in there. Am sending all my pma, if you start getting stroppy this time next week we will know why. Is it mean that I am hoping you are gonna get stroppy?

 

[FBbaby]

ha ha, that really put a smile on my face. OH would certainly laugh and say that unfortunately, many other factors seem to cause symptoms of grumpiness!

Unfortunately, however promising this cycle could have been, I have developed the worse case of thrush yesterday morning, ie, exactly when I suspect I ovulated, so those poor swimmers had no chance. Typical that it had to happen at the worse possible time in the cycle!!! Oh, well, will come and stalk you in 2nd semester!

 

[dan-o]

FB, I'm just about to ov as well!! (if I haven't already) Looks like we are both going to be testing at the same time

My ov pains are the worst when I'm on soy too, who knows what's going on in there.. hopefully a double ov for twins he he

 

[moggymay]

FB - get some yoghurt in you - both ends! Still can happen if thsoe swimmers are determined, it only takes one after all

got booking appt next week at 10+1 and as having nuchal scan that is likely to be mid January, waiting for appt to come through and hoping it isnt too early. PMA PMA PMA x

OMG FB check out this thread...

It could be you!!!

 

[FBbaby]

thanks Moggy, I've used the cream and it is bearable, will try the yogurt. Ha ha, those poor swimmers, already having to struggle to aim the right way under the influence of celebration drinks also had to cope with a foul smelling, cottage cheese like welcoming environment. I'm amazed they didn't just rushed out of me as soon as possible, maybe the alcohol confusing their sense of direction might have been a good thing after all!).

Yipee for the appointment. It's amazing how much quicker pregnancy times fly by when it isn't you pregnant, yet so slow when you are having to cope with MS, exhaustion and the anxiety of waiting for scans. Can't wait to see the picture.

dan-o, yeah, soy buddy! Glad to read I'm not the only one with ov pains that intensified with soy. How long is your LP? I'm usually 15 days. Would love to get sign that prompt me to test on 10 January as this is OH and I meeting anniversary, but with that dreadfully time thrush, I really don't feel to full of pma.

Anyway, off to fish some yogurt out of the fridge!

 

[MommyMichele]

Eating the yogurt will help clear up the infection, not sure I'd want to stick anything up there. I had yeast infections during pregnancy and you can use Monistat, at least that's what they told me. I only get yeast infections and bladder infections when pregnant, never when I'm not.

When thrush was said, I was thinking of the oral thrush, which yes, is a yeast infection but in your mouth. Babies get it a lot but you can get it at any age. Eating yogurt on a regular basis will help keep the yeast in check. It's something your body always has but can go nuts with varying PH levels. Yeast infections can be transferred to another person. My DD gave me thrush while I was breast feeding. She got it in her mouth and it transferred to my breasts. We both had to be medicated. Now if you are DTD with your DH while having an infection, I'd make him eat yogurt to because he can give you the bacteria back.

My LP is 11 days, occasionally 12... I usually get to about 8dpo & start POAS tho, I'm hopeless pmsl!!

I'm slightly off this month too as we weren't able to BD on ov day itself.
I think we are both in with a good chance of BFP's tho.. fingers crossed!!!

 

[FBbaby]

thanks mummymichelle, gosh I feel dumb thinking you had to put the yogurt there as a cream rather than just enjoying eating it! Unfortunately, I read your post too late! Still, it worked, all gone the following day.

dan-o, cross fingers too. After what you've been through, you so deserve that bfp. I am a lot more relaxed about it this cycle than I was last one and gosh do I feel better about it. When I think that I tested at 9dpo when I got my bfp just because I had free ics and I thought it would be fun, not expecting one second to see two lines. It was our first month ttc, it was so easy! I now can't bear to test and haven't done so for at least 4 cycles, even though I have 20+ ics. Because of the previous results, (and got a + with my boy at 12dpo), I don't dare testing as I am persuaded that it would show early, and if I get a bfn, it makes waiting for AF even more daunting.

HAPPY NEW YEAR soy buddies, hope we get many soy babies flourishing in Spring.

 

[moggymay]

Glad it has all cleared up FB - made me laugh thinking bout you and the yoghurt

Happy New Year Soy Ladies - will be lurking for the first soy and then the next and the next til you've all got one
