Soy Isoflavones! Natures Clomid!

You lot make me laugh :haha:

Well AF got me this morning with a nice temp drop :cry: I have adjusted my chart to OV on CD6 for last cycle and it looks like correct. I probably think my cycles are a little bit messed up from coming off the Soy :nope: Can't think what else it could be as all other cycles before soy have been normal.
I am reluctant to take it again this time until I get back on track and Ov at a decent time but would still like to stay here with you ladies.

Bit depressed today to be honest as we tried in what we thought were all the right places but we were off by miles so it's been a wasted month really :wacko: it does explain why I never got a +OPK though. We did actually BD on CD6 and chart looks like it had an implantation dip but was obviously just a second surge of progesterone :dohh:

Oh well onwards and upwards....means I will have to start OPK's while still on AF :wacko:

FX'd for all you other ladies :kiss::hugs:
 
Hi Everyone,
Sorry Glowstar that the AF got you :hugs:. You will get your BFP soon and all this disappointment will be worth it xx

Erica ..... I am so glad that the progesterone cream seems to be working. I def. going to get some for the next cycle as I think B-vits are just not enough xx

Jen .... I made some enquiries at my local acupuncturist but she doesn't do herbs unfortunately. She does however specialise in fertility so its worth a shot. I don't think I will be taking soy next cycle with it though as I don't want to have sextuplets!!! One or two from it would be a dream come true xx

Good luck everyone and lots of :dust:

Hey All,

So, I am on day three of taking soy, and I am experiencing side effects! Anyone else have trouble taking it? Its making me irritable, tired, my throat seems really dry... etc. Not good. Also having weird hot/cold issues. I want to make it to day 5, but I feel a little concerned about what is going on with me.

I cut back the dose today, and it seems a little better. I think I will just take 85 mg/day in two doses. Although, I am not sure how effective it is if you take less 100 mg.

Anyone else have trouble tolerating the soy?
 
I'll be charging her if she asks my advice Poppy....need to recoup some of what I'm spending! LOL.

Glowstar I'm so sorry the witch caught you this month!!! Hate her!!! :hugs: Hopefully this cycle you'll ovulate a wee bit later and it'll be back to normal.

Happyshopper acupuncture should still work, like I said the two together speed things up but both separately should also be able to work. Good luck and keep me informed!!!

Mrsine good luck!! C'mon strong eggys!!! :happydance::happydance:

PocoHR I didn't experience any side effects. I took them at night time though before bed like a lot of the other girls advised on here. Try doing that instead and see if it makes a difference!

Well I'm on cd 12 today and still haven't noticed much difference, CP is getting higher but I know I'm not fertile yet! Going to go buy some lube now...how exciting is my life!!!:dohh:
xoxo

Poco it sounds pretty normal to me...when i took mine this cycle i took it before bed but then i had major hot/cold flashes i never knew what end of the bed i was gonna end up on :rofl: irritable not so much, tired a little and for that dry throat try some herbal tea..as for your dose what was the original dose you were taking?
 
Hey Ladies...I am hopeful but not sure if we :sex: enough this month...OH was not really jumping into it :cry: i thought i was gonna o acouple days earlier so :sex: then but there is 3 days in between that we didn't :wacko: i really hope we caught the eggy or eggies:blush: :dust: hope we all get our :bfp: this month or next :dust:

Glowstar It could still be ib tho...my friend when she fell pregnant had a light bleed of 2 days, she thought it was her period and it turned out a month and a half later she was pregnant! You're not out yet!

Stash I had taken vit b complex last time I was ttc but I'm going by what my tcm practitioner said which was my cycle length is text book perfect which means the first half is too long not the latter being too short so I need to move ovulation forward not lengthen the luteal phase. The vit b's did work and brought ovulation forward a bit but I'm going to just try soy this month and if it doesn't work I'll go back to my tcm practitioner!

That's what I figured, but wanted to make sure. :winkwink: KFX that you o earlier this cycle. :dust:
 
Glowstar- Im SO SORRY AF got you :( HUGE HUGS wish I could say something that I know would make you feel better-- new cycle, new chances, fx (and toes crossed) this is YOUR MONTH

me- tomorrow is 10dpo and the day AF usually comes. I have had ZERO symptoms (pg or AF). Last cycle I had cramping at 7 and 8 dpo, this cycle nothing, no tiredness (in fact I feel more energetic) so we'll see. I FULLY expect to wake up tomorrow morning to blood but still hoping hoping hoping that the NPC makes my LP longer and of course i'd love to get a BFP but right now I'd be thrilled with an LP longer than 9 days so we'll see. Tomorrows a big day-----
 
here's my 13 week ultrasound ladies :)

The day the side effects were worst I had taken 105 mg. And actually, I went ahead and kept the same dosage yesterday, but just split it up differently (35 mg in the morning, 70 mg at night). This seems to work better for me. I am keeping up with it, its good to hear that the side effects are normal! The hot/cold thing was strange. Poor DH tried to come in for a cuddle in bed last night and he said it was like trying to hug a radiator, I was SO hot. I really hope the soy is doing its job, and I look forward to have a hormone free week next week! After that I start up with taking progesterone for the last two weeks of my cycle and that comes with its own side effects.... I'll be happy when beany is snug and tight in my belly so I can be done with this nonsense!!
 
Hi Sorry to butt in. I'm currently on CD 13 and usually ov around cd 16. This cycle I took soy iso from CD3 for 5 days. I also temp and opk. It looks like I may have ov between CD10 -12. I only started opk from CD 10 and so far they have all been neg. Is it possible to ov this early from the soy.

Many thanks
 
prettymachine that is adorable...it brightened up my day :) thank you for sharing!
Poco...I'm glad the side effects have lightened up on ya...it is better to take the soy all at once so maybe if you took 90 instead of 105 at night... :dust:
jemj...anything is possible but keep doing opks just in case...you wouldn't wanna miss the eggy :dust:
 
Hi everyone,
Well the AF got me too today and I feel like crap!!! It's bad enough to have the witch visit, without the extra pleasures of cramps and nausea.
Jen ... I will keep you informed. Going to make my appointment today xx
Your ultrasound pic is so cute Prettymachine; it must be lovely to see your little bean for the first time xx
Erica ..... fingers and toes crossed that AF stays away for you xx
Jemj - I agree with hopingnowsit. When I took soy for the first time I had ovulation signs which disappeared and then reappeared a week later when my ov actually came. The only way to know for sure is to chart your temps so continue taking OPK's until you know for sure xx
 
Thanks hoping, I think I will try taking a big dose tonight, skipping taking any tomorrow morning, and the one last big dose on Friday night. Then I'm done, thank God!
 
poppy! your test already comes up 3+?? you must have some pretty good hormones going on in there! :)
i hope we get those tests over here one day.
 
Yep i tested 4 days earlier lol, but i never got a 1-2wks just went straight onto 2-3wks :shrug:
