Thats interesting I have heard good things about Soy but not really sure what its supposed to do.
 
It depends on what d'ya you take it, either 1-5,2-6,3-7,4-8,5-9 I took it 3-7 so I'd get many eggs of better quality rather than taking it later and getting one fab egg released (or that may be if you ake it earlier, I can't remember) ......so in 11 days I'll know if it's twins or not!! Lol
 
Hi Glitterdiva - congratulations :) what dosage did you take? i remember i have tried it before but i cannot remember what the recommended dose is. also did you go with the holland and barratt ones or others?
 
Yep holland and Barrett.
80 mg (2 tablets) days 3,4,5
120 mg (3 tablets) day 6
160 mg (4 tablets) day 7

I thoroughly believe soy was a godsend. We'd been doing everything right for 10 months, wed even just been for fertility tests at the docs cos the docs thought it was odd I'd not even had a scare whilst being on the pill for all those years, AF was also practically none existent for the whole time we were ttc, so I thought I was menopausal (my nan was 35) and I've had hot sweats for 9 yrs but 2 days before DH was due to he hid results we got a huge surprise!! It was the only thing we did different that month outta the previous 10. Oh apart from not stressing about ttc!! That last month I just thought aahhhh bollox to it I'm not stressing any longer, I only took
A digi test cos I'd had 14 wees that day at work and AF wasn't due for another 3 days, I certainly wasn't expecting a bfp!!

Wow that's fantastic. So were you having issues with short cycles then? From wot I've read soy can lengthen ur cycle bcos it contains phytoestrogens (which is why it's commonly used in menopausal woman). But if ur cycle is regular length then u might mess it up by taking soy. But for girls who want to increase LP etc it does the trick....

Sounds like it was the magic pill for you!

Thank you x thats such a wonderful result. I have 28 day cycles generally with regular ovulation but wanted a stronger chance of bfp. If i try it again i will try 5-9 but will leave it fir this cycle i think. If i do i will use your dossage...thanks again :flower:

I had normal 28 day cycles with ov from day 9-16 so I thought bugger it I'm just gonna take it anyway seeing as I couldn't pinpoint exact day of ov and rarely fit a +opk
 
Hi I'm a 1970 (november) gal, hope it's okay if I follow along.:flower:(going back to read through-catch up.) I should be doing laundry but this more interesting.:shy:

edited to add: Oops, I'm an idiot, I didn't notice that you said for 1974s for TTC#1. If I have anything to add that might be helpful I'll chime in. Please accept my apologies for being a 'buttinski'! lolz
 
Hi I would like to join this thread. We have been ttc for one year and we just did our second iui 6 days ago so I am in the tww. I'm trying not to obsess because I am currently needing to put my energies into getting a better job.

But I also need support from others my age so thought I would join here.
 
Hi, haven't been on here since 11th April when I let you all know I was in the tww after our 1st cycle of IVF.
I'm so so happy to let you all know we got a BFP, we found out a week ago today. 2nd bloodtest showed a huge rise in HCG so all is looking good.
I hope you all get a BFP very very soon, good luck everyone xxxx
 
Fantastic news, Lyghtning! This is such great news. I'm so pleased to see another 74 gal with a BFP.

Wishing you a super happy & healthy pregnancy! xxx

Hello!

Am I too late to join this?! I'm a 1974 girl and just about to embark on the journey to TTC my first baby! Its great to see so many others of my age here. I feel like I've left it a bit late to start trying but never been in a position where I've felt so happy and ready before now.

I'm looking forward to reading back over the thread.
