Any Soy Ladies out there?

[Megg33k]

megg - i'm so anxious to see if soy worked for me. it kept my O date the same, but the ovulation i feel was definitely stronger. sigh, i hate this wait one more week!

I hope so, honey! Can't wait to find out! FX'd for you!

the 40mg dose i have been taking has kept my o date pretty much the same too. i got my +OPK today at cd 17 and am expecting to get my temp rise tomorrow or the day after. i am definitely feeling ovulation cramps when usually i only feel them post-o so i know it's done something

40mg is actually super low. It shouldn't really have had any effect at all. Its equivalent to 20mg of Clomid. And, Clomid is almost always started at 50mg... So 100mg of Soy. I'm glad it worked for you though!

Hey girls, thought I would pop in and say hi and introduce myself (to those who don't already know me!) as I am going to be using soy on my next cycle if I don't get my bfp.


A bit of background, I am 13dpo on my 3rd cycle (100mg) of clomid. I got a bfp on my first cycle (50mg) but had a mc, I didn't ovulate on my second cycle (50mg) and I am now waiting for either bfp or AF tomorrow.

I have been cramping for 2 days so I suspect the latter!

I was only given 3 months supply of clomid so I am all out now and I am not due to see the FS til next week so obviously that will be too late for 2-6 and I don't want a wasted cycle so I decided soy would be the obvious solution!

I intend to try and replicate the dosage I was on with clomid and after doing research on t'internet, think I am going to start with 200mg days 2-6.

Quick question on that - I am assuming you take all the tablets together as one dose?

Anyway I am hoping that I won't be coming over here (no offence!!) but if I do, I look forward to chatting to you all! xxx

Yep... All the tablets in one dose! And, if there's other stuff along with the Soy in each tablet, make sure of the Soy content. Some of the ones in the UK are a bit misleading. For the record, I hope you don't need to do start the Soy either... You're definitely due a sticky BFP!

 

[DragonMummy]

it says each tablet typically provides - soy isoflavones - 50mg. is there something I should look out for?


And I do feel rather overdue for a result! You too though - you've been on here nearly as long as me!

Nope... That sounds right. Some people get ones that say the tablet is 80mg or something, but the back says that the Soy Isoflavones content is like 20mg or 40mg. That looks perfect though!

Yeah, I'd say we're both due! Btw, LOVE the pic of Harry in your avatar! So adorable!

 

[LaPinska]

Meg yes i know it's a low dose

I tried 80mg before and it didn't do anything either, and the next step up with my 40mg pills was 120mg and that messed up my cycle. I figured i'll just play it safe because i plan to try clomid in a few cycles and i don't want to screw them up lol.

I got a dark ++ today along with a dip in temp so im guessing today is o!

Usually around ovulation i don't feel o pains but this time my ovaries have been brewing up a storm. The last 3 days I have been having really pinchy cramps from both left and right.

For me, when i get cramps from the left, it indicates i'm going to have a long cycle, but this time even though i'm not o'ing early it is still earlier than usual so i'm quite surprised! I really wish i could o from both sides that would give me a better chance but my left ovary is nothing but a pain!

 

[Megg33k]

Oh... Sounds like you had a plan then! Yay! LOL And, yay for O!!! Catch the eggy!

 

[DragonMummy]

thanks - its from his nursery pics.

pesky temp this morning megg!

i went to bed at about 11-1130pm. woke up awake at 3:00am and couldn't go back to sleep so took my temp at 3:19am just in case. it was 98.2. i temp adjusted it on FF for my usual wake up time at 5:00am and it said 98.5. after the 3:19 temp i went to the bathroom. well, when i woke up again at 5 after falling back asleep at 3:30am, it was 98.0. which temp do i use?

 

[Megg33k]

Getting up to go to the bathroom isn't really enough to mess it up in the long run. Even that 30 minutes that you were awake shouldn't matter. I would probably use the either the 98.2 or the 98.0. I mean, you're post-O... So it doesn't entirely matter, iykwim? I think either is going to be reasonably accurate... I definitely wouldn't go with the 98.5... The temp adjusters almost always over-estimate how much your temp will change!

 

[DragonMummy]

hmm still in limbo so my guess of knowing one way or another today was a bit wrong....

 

[Megg33k]

Chart still looks good! FX'd that you get a BFP instead of AF!

 

[Charisse28]

Hello Ladies!


I am going to try Soy whenever AF decides to show up. I am CD50 right now with no O. I have been taking Fertility Blend for 2 months and my last AF was in May(hence the 50+day cycle still going) I recently stopped the FB and just got my soy iso from Walmart today! I also purchased some prenatal vitamins. I am absolute excited to start my Soy Cycle as DH and I have been TTC#2 since 2005.

 

[Megg33k]

Aww! I hope the Soy works quickly for you, Charisse!

 

[day_dreamer]

I didn't have any luck with soy this month. I'm now on CD32 I think with no signs of O

I'm going to up the dosage next month, whenever AF shows up, but in the meantime I have my first appointment with the fertility specialist (nhs) on 21st July so we'll see how that goes.

Bmi is 29.2 now so I hope my weight won't be a stumbling block.

 

[day_dreamer]

Ooops double post.

 

[DragonMummy]

Well cd1. Soy 200mg starts tomorrow.

Sorry, honey! I wish it had worked for you! Maybe the FS will prescribe you something other than soy. How much did you take? Oh... Unless you feel like being ridiculed, I wouldn't mention the Soy to the FS! Just saying!

Well cd1. Soy 200mg starts tomorrow.

Boo to CD1! But, Yay for Soy!!! Everything (almost) crossed that you only have to try it once!

megg - guess my adjusted temp of 98.27 yesterday was about right because this morning's temp as 98.4. fits right in

 

[Megg33k]

Spectacular! Looking great!
