Any Soy Ladies out there?

[momtoaz]

Ladies I have a question for the Soy experts. I bought Soy Isoflavones, the NOW brand. Ingredients listed:
Soy Isoflavone Extract 150mg
(providing min. 40% total Isoflavones (60mg) including Genistein, Daidzein and Glycitein). On the front of the bottle it says:60mg of Isoflavones

SO should I be taking 2 capsules a day to total 120mg of Isoflavones? This was the only brand that I found at the health food store.

BTW I plan to take it next cycle, CD3-7.

THANKS!

Hi hun, your right.. you should take 2 capsules if you want 120mg. The same thing happened to me with the bottle of soy that I bought (I posted it here a couple of days ago).

Looking good, MrsW! Very excited!

momtoaz - Yep! 2!

Hi Ladies!

Oh well, as expected the witch showed up bang on time (I could set my watch by her) this morning. So the question I have now is, should I give the Soy a rest for this cycle - as we are seeing the fertility specialist 2 weeks from now, or should I give it a final shot. I'm thinking I should miss it - so if he does any blood work - which I'm sure he will, I don't want the soy to give better results than my soy-less body. On the other hand DH got his second SA results back this week, and whilst they still aren't great (only 1ml volume with 6 million swimmers with 49% forward progression - most of them fast), they are about a million times better than the first sample (too few to count and nothing else). We are crediting this improvement to his new undies (boxers not briefs), maca (nature's viagra!!!) and Menevit (men's pre-natal multi vit). The latest sample was taken 2 months into this regimen - and we all know sperm takes up to 90 days to mature. So should we givr it our best shot this month, which includes the Soy or not?

MrsW - are you waiting or testing?

 

[Blah11]

I think you should stay off soy this cycle too hun and see what FS says.. good luck for that

Mrswoolf, where are you?! I'm dying to know if you've BFP

I'm still getting neg OPK and low CBFM but lots of ewcm and open cervix so we've been BDing anyway. My temps are very all over the place as per usual so they wont be helpful this cycle. Not been getting any ov pain though so idk if I'm not ovulating again, or if my hormone levels are too weak to register on the OPKs and CBFM?

 

[MrsWooolf]

haha sorry ladies!!!! had to rush out early this morning!!

36.9... no af cramps yet im REALLY nervous!!! i wanted to test this morning but i just couldnt was scared of bfn!! af due 2moro!!

AHHHHHHHH

xxx

Edit - forgot im feeling so heavy!!!! i feel like im full of af and its gonna come out haha

 

[moggymay]

spooky, I was gonna say that if your temp goes up I reckon this could be it! I guess wait til you are ready to test and test or wait til you think AF is late and do it then? FX'd

 

[MrsWooolf]

if no af tomorrow im planning on testing friday as that means id be late! i feel like shes coming tho...hope not lol

cant stop looking at my chart... this is very exciting... its such a thrill haha

[moxie08]

How uncanny that your current cycle matches your overlay, but a few days out. If that's right, you'll be getting AF in 2-3 days. My soy luteal phase temps had an extended rise just like yours, MrsWooolf. Though mine wasn't a happy ending... I hope yours is!

I wonder if anyone else whose luteal phase was lengthened using Soy noticed where the main lengthening happened? Bring out your charts! ;-)

 

[MrsWooolf]

i dont get it lol sorry! how do you get ill get my af in 2-3 days?? lol

i have took soy this cycle and last and first cycle o'd cd21 this cycle o'd cd19

last lp was 14 days so i thought this would be same... giving my af 2moro??

im a bit confused lol

[moxie08]

Well, prediction of ovulation isn't an exact science and FF is far from accurate. It merely gives you a stable measuring point from which to predict when AF will come. =) The actual window for fertilization could be any amount of time around that line -- even days out.

If you look at your previous chart, it marked ovulation on day 21, which wasn't your lowest temp. Your lowest temp that cycle was day 19, which was also your lowest temp for your current cycle. If you adjust the overlay so both charts match off day 19 rather than FF's predicted day of ovulation, you'll see that your current rise in temps has been slightly enlongated (over a period of time) in your current chart. The pattern of rises in your temperatures (including the slight rise you just experienced) otherwise matches your previous chart.

This doesn't really mean anything palpable in terms of your chances this month. But if the theory is correct, you should get AF soon, with your temps starting to plateau or descend.

But of course, we're hoping for the opposite!!

 

[moggymay]

MrsWoolf - I still think you are in the game, your chart to me looks about to go triphasic which is very positive, its difficult to say about your LP as there are only 2 charts on your FF and thats insufficient to make assumptions about comparatives as you may have a duff temp in there somewhere, two months dosnt give sufficient pattern.

Looking good hon, will be stalking again in the morning, have a paste sarnie hoping for a 37.0 or more in the morning!

 

[Megg33k]

MrsW - Honestly... Your chart diverged today, and I think you'd have gotten a if you'd tested! I'm pretty convinced its a BFP for you, lovely! Can't wait to see you announce it!

 

[MrsWooolf]

moxie thanks for explaining that, its all to new to me, i get what you mean how both temps are the same...i didnt notice that chart that shows both my temps ontop of each other that only seems to come up if i click my ticker. it does show the same kinda design which looks a bit crappy as ill actually be due to drop temp tomorrow... scary lol

moggy and megg - thanks ladies!! bit excited for tomorrow... but as time is passing im getting crampy which sucks... only tomorrow will tell im testing with fmu i cant wait lol

Mrs W
I'm very new to this charting lark, but your chart is looking good to me!! it even looks like an implantation dip at 9dpo, test, test, test, test!!

I should introduce myself too, I've tried soy this cycle for the first time, to see how I got on with it, I have pcos and don't always ovulate. 120mg, days 2-6. We're not actually ttc until my next cycle, just taking a little break after a m/c in march. I'm really new to the charting, and I'm a very erratic sleeper, so I haven't a clue if or when I ovulated. I usually use my cbfm to tell me but not this cycle, but I will be dusting it off for the next one.
