[cckarting]

So i'm looking for something to regulate my cycle and help me ovulate. My cycles range from 30-38 days and the dr says i haven't ovulated the last couple months, so I'm looking to take something to help me ovulate. Any imput good or bad would be helpful!

I have heard good things about both soy and agnus. However, I have hard that if you have a pretty regular cycle to not use these two things.

I used soy last cycle and it didnt do anything for me. BUt it has helped several women on BnB. Maybe give it a shot. What have you got to lose?

Good luck and LOADS of

Soy works for a lot of ladies to bring on Ovulation. I have a normal cycle and I think I ovulate on my own anyways, but I took it because it makes a healthier, stronger egg and just to be experimental. I hear youre not suppose to take it if you have a normal cycle and oulate on your own. I did and nothing bad happened to me. If I get a BFP this month because of soy, I will definitely let you all know.

This says to take 80 mg. However, that is what I took and like I said it did NOTHING. Taylorxx took 120mg and it worked wonderfully for her. She moved up her ovulation date by several days and became pregnant.

I googled ac with ovulation and I guess that herb plays more of a role in balancing hormones that are involved with ovulation and the soy is used to produce a more viable egg as well as move ovulation date up.

I had a friend on here start ac right after she stopped birth control and she has ovulated within the cdteen range since she came off. She could just be lucky but she thinks it has everything to do with the ac.

whichever you choose, I hope this answer was a little better than my other answer. Lol

I wish you LOADS of luck!

I am taking soy this month. My cycles are somewhat regular somewhat not. My shortest was 28 days, longest 42. But usually they are between 30-35. I dont know what happened those months, lol but anyways. I took soy cd 3-7 this month at 160mg, I also only have one tube. So I wanted to bring O closer and also stronger! And hopefully O from the right where I do have the remaining tube. And hopefully shorten my cycle length, I am probably just wishful thinking now. But hey! So yup, I am taking soy!

 

[cckarting]

so what cd are you on mixedbeauty? Did it make you O stronger? are you using opk's or anything? Thanks for all the replies there really helpful!

I took soy on a 35 day cycle..... Got pregnant but MC and now I have a cyst the size of a grapefruit on my ovary, the specialist says from overstimulation......soy!!! Be careful

Well this is my first month using. I am doing cd 3-7, 160mg. I cant say if its making my O stronger yet, since I dont have previous cycles to compare to. But I will say today I used my cbfm (also first month using) I am on cd9 and I did get a high reading which means O should be approaching soon. This was suprising to me because I had longer cycles 32-35 days long so I didnt expect O to be approaching for another week 1/2. So right now I am using cbfm, depending on that and how many days I stay on high I will using a cb digi to see if I get a smiley there as well! I am hoping the soy is doing its job and making O stronger and sooner!!

I am on cd9 with cbfm, with my own calcuations I am on cd10. Cbfm makes you use the following day of bleeding if you started in the afternoon. So thats what I had to do, but I started AF a day before I set my monitor because thats what your supposed to do. So I am really on cd10.

Can't wait to see if soy helped y'all....im debating on using it as well and have been for a while....I was on clomid but stopped have regular cycle but don't produce good eggs on my own

How much mg and which days did you take?

 

[LilFooshFoosh]

AC (aka Vitex) takes around 3 months to build up enough in your system to be effective. So, if you don't wait long enough it won't do anything. It is a slow working supplement, which is why it doesn't have many (if any) side effects. I have been taking it for 2 months, my cycles before were ranging from 28-36 days, which isn't too bad but they were getting longer and longer. This last cycle I o'd on CD16 and had a 12 day LP= 28 day cycle. I mainly started taking it because the doc told me BC was the only way to get rid of my ovarian cysts. Well, I haven't had any cysts or cyst pain for the last 5 weeks. I can't say for sure it's the vitex, but I think it is as that is the only thing I changed.

Which is better AC or soy? I took fertilaid this month and my period came back. I think I o'd on CD 14 but not sure because I was using cheap OPK's. Should I switch to soy next cycle?

 

[Lollipopbop]

Hey. I would suggest Soy. I tried it after 2 really odd cycles ranging from 40-60 days!!
It was so frustrating as I couldn't pin point O what so ever so BD'ing at the right time was impossible.
I took Soy on CD 2-6 and I O'ed on CD20 which was a lot earlier than the past couple of months, I luckily conceived on my first go like a lot of other girls.
If you want some more info/support then this thread has so much info and is the reason I tried Soy, we've racked up nearly 20 BFPs in a couple of months.

Good luck, I hope you find something that will regulate your cycle because I know how frustrating it is!! xoxo

I did 3-7 I took 40, 40, 40, 80, 160. Bad move!!! The cyst it has created is composed of 4 tangerine sized cysts, totalling a grapefruit sized ovary. I can't TTc for the next 6 weeks to see if it shrinks! My gynae insists it's the soy that has caused the overstimulation, an I took the soy over 4 months ago!!!!! If it Aint broke don't fix it!!!!!! please be careful

 

[cckarting]

beachlover did you have problem's o'ing? That's why i wanna take it is because i have been told i'm not o'ing on my own, i just started temping this cycle to make sure that i'm not before i start taking anything
