Any Soy Ladies out there?

[Quaver]

I am doing fine hun, waiting and trying not to sympton spot. What about you??

Just been to my first fertility specialist appointment, and was diagnosed with PCOS (kind of expected, since my AF is irregular, and have a close relative with one).

Saw my ovaries, many maturing PCOS eggs, was told I'm fertile next week (when OH is away). I'm CD15, so next week would be CD22 or thereabouts.
My last ov was CD40. Soy did work! Pity there's no OH to try...

Doctor was not keen on Soy, and will be prescribed Clomid next cycle.
So goodbye Soy...

Yeah... They're never keen on Soy. I understand it... but I HATE it! There's no money in telling people to use non-prescription drugs... but there can be malpractice lawsuits in it if you tell them to go for it! HOWEVER... Its crap!

Yay for Clomid though!

Hey Quaver, hope you re ok after your trip to the FS. Hoping the clomid fixes things for you!

I much preferred Soy, but I suppose Clomid is better in doctor's eyes

Oh yes, the doctor said Soy will give you high temperatures. I think I had that until CD14.

Quaver, hope that can make you get your BFP.

OV on cd 22......thats aweome so much better then cd40.
is there any way to goto OH????
and boo to dr. for saying no to soy, but hopefully clomid does the trick!!!!!

I tried to explain to my OH that soy is natures Clomid....but he doesn't like the idea of me experimenting..lol
I also said theres no $$ in soy for dr.s to prscribe so they don't like it.
I may also do some acupuncture as Oh's is covered for it at work..yay!!!!!

I hope all you girls are on track for early O and your BFP!!!!

 

[Quaver]

It's a 7hr flight. We can make it if I ov at CD23 or later

but he doesn't like the idea of me experimenting..lol

Mine too, but I won through in the end

Acupuncture sounds great, I've read that it really helps fertility. OH wants acupuncture too (not for fertility), so I may tag along as soon as we find someone

 

[Megg33k]

I liked the Soy better than Clomid too! I think, if they want to put me on drugs again, that I'm going to ask for Femara/Letrozole instead.

My OH... He knows me well enough to know that I research the hell out of anything I think of trying and wouldn't choose to do it if I thought there was any risk that outweighed the reward. He knows me too well to think I'd jump into something blindly! Love my husband!

HELP!!!!!!

Went to get some of this today i live in the UK i went into Boots & a lady helped me find some. Didnt realise it was menapouse stuff...

It came in 20MG i would have to take 10 of these tablets a day

In Holland & Barratt it said 750MG on the bottle which is way to much for me, it was Soya Isoflavones with other stuff in the capsual. It worked out to about 40MG of the Soya Isoflavones & the 700MG is other stuff

I wanted to get some before i go on my holiday tomorrow. Incase AF arrives when im away i wanted to start taking it on CD3-7 & also temp

 

[ButterflyBaby]

hello ladies... sorry it's been a few days. cd48 today. i didn't test. i know i should have done, but i can't face it. i've had a little bit of red spotting yesterday and today, so hopefully af is on her way, but i will test tomorrow, just to be sure... probably.

once af shows up, i'm definitely going to try 200mg soy instead of 100mg. i know that if af does show up soon (no gaurantee that it will - i've had small amounts of spotting 3 times so far in this cycle!) i'll have had a shorter cycle than last time (64 days!) but i still feel like the soy didn't work this month. i don't think i've ovulated. i really hope the higher dose will make a difference.

 

[Megg33k]

Chelsea - Well... I wouldn't start at 200mg. I would start at 120mg. But 6-10 of them a day would kind of suck. Most people get Soy with 40mg per tab. I'm not in the UK, so I'm not much help to be honest! Are you taking it because of irregular cycles? Or lack of ovulation? Or...??? Just curious!

Butterfly - FX'd that you get a BFP instead of AF!

 

[heart tree]

Hi ladies. Quaver, I guess it is good that you are getting some answers. I hope Clomid does the trick!

Well, I think soy ended up messing up my cycle more than helping it. I got 2 positive OPK's on CD15 and CD18 but still show no clear sign of a temp rise that indicates I've ovulated. I also spotted from CD13 - CD20. Now I do often have mid-cycle spotting, but not for this long. I can only think that my estrogen was out of whack and was causing me to spot. FF is showing that I tentatively ovulated on CD17, but I honestly don't think I did. I'm on CD24 today. Maybe I'll ovulate today? Anyhoo, I think I'm going to forgo the soy next month. I'll chalk this up to an interesting experiment. I still believe in soy, just not for me!

 

[Megg33k]

Honestly, Clomid did similar things to me... except it caused spotting in my 2ww. I O'd super early with it, and then spotted before O, stopped for a few days, and then spotted again for a good 5-7 days before AF! It shows how not everything works for everyone!

Interesting. Did you doctor give you any insight into why all of that spotting happened?

No, she said it "was to be expected"... but in her defense... she's a dumbass! LOL Later, I was told that it was a sign of low progesterone... oddly, they still refused to check me for it though!

P.S. I did the chart thing we talked about. You should check out the results!

 

[heart tree]

I think it is hilarious that we are having real time conversations on 2 different threads! Hope we aren't annoying anyone! I hope your progesterone tests give you some answers. Good luck!

 

[Megg33k]

Yeah, I guess that could be annoying to some people! If you ever want to switch over to txt'ing, just let me know! LOL Its happened with many, many girls on here! I think I have more BnB people in my phone than actual people I know! I hope they do too! Thanks!

Your cover line last cycle was 97.7. If you put that on this cycle, you seem to have ov'd CD13 or 15?

I agree with you 100%, Soy totally messed me up this cycle. I took it in the hopes of O'ing earlier, and having a stronger O. Mind you I do O late in my cycle and am irregular, but mostly O between CD 20 and 25, I'm CD33 and no sign of O. I have given up this cycle with bd'ing and opk testing (I've ran out and have to wait to order some off ebay). I've soooo many successful Soy stories that I'm soo upset that I'm one of the few that had a not so successful story with Soy. I will not be taking it next cycle, I can't afford to waste another cycle experimenting with my body.

As for your chart I agree that you didn't O CD 17, that would put way too many of of your past temps below coverline. Possibly CD13? But then again you have +opks after CD13.

As for me, I'm considering trying to start AF on my own, by drinking parsley tea. I read somewhere that it brought on AF for some so I think it can't hurt to try?

FX'd you do end up O'ing sooner than later.
