After 2 years of trying with no success. I have decided to try soy isoflavones. I want to go more natural and stop depending on doctors. It is supposed to work just like clomid- but less side effects and less chance of multiples. I am taking it on cd 5-9, since that's what my doctor suggested for clomid, before she backed out on giving it to me. I am very hopeful that this will work. One site said that 75% of women got pregnant on their first try with SI. However, I know that it may not work for everyone. I am planning on updating this every couple days so others can know more about SI. I will be taking 80 mg of SI, in general it will equal half that in clomid- 40 mg- my doctor was going to do 50 mg of clomid.
BACKGROUND- I am 21 years old (22 in 3 months), my husband is 29 (30 next month). I was diagnosed with PCOS 4 years ago- but last ultrasound showed no cysts and my bloodwork was fine. I take 1000 mg of metformin 2x a day and prenatals. Because of ED issues we do at home insemenations (3rd month).
CD 1 and 2- Medium flow- crampy
CD 3- No cramps- brown spotting (thought af was over already)
CD 4-Strong cramps in the morning- bright red heavy flow by the evening-brown at night
CD 5- Back to brown spotting- I think it is stopping for good. ** Will be taking 80 mg of SI tonight before bedtime**
