One more day left and i'll be taking soy this cycle, I'm getting so excited.
Oh, I know how you feel! I was so excited too! I could hardly stand to wait until day 4 and was really tempted to take it early, but I wanted a really strong egg and follicle since I think that I do occasionally O but do so weakly. So I hung in there and waited it out, but OH it was HARD!!!! But I DID indeed O and it even moved it up by 2 days. WOW!!!! And people say that you can expect to O 5-9 days after you finish taking it, but I O'd on CD12 after taking my last dose the morning of CD8, so that's just 4 days.
I didn't have very many side effects. I did have a tiny bit of a headache a couple of days, but nothing that really caused me a problem. I was a bit edgy, but not as much as PMS is for me. The biggest thing I noticed was that it totally took away my appetite and I experienced some nausea.....but it wasn't really bad. I didn't even mention it to my DH. But 2 or 3 days after I stopped taking it that went away, and the other symptoms stopped as soon as I stopped the soy. I began to look and see if I could find a reason for the lack of appetite and read that something in it binds to something in your intestines that has to do with hunger and suppresses the appetite in some people. Can't remember the specifics, but it sounded harmless to me.
I've read that lots of people like to take their soy iso at night to avoid side effects, but I took mine in the morning. I read somewhere that your body can more readily use the hormones during the day when you're awake so they're more effective, so I took them in the A.M.
I'll stop rattling on now.
I'm so excited to test that I can hardly wait and I don't really have anyone to talk to about TTC or Soy Iso. Guess that's why I'm so chatty on here. I hope all goes well for you and that you don't have side effects. I hope it causes you to have a good strong O without having to wait a long time and that you catch that eggy!!!!!!
