Soy Isoflavones! Natures Clomid!

[debzie]

Thanks glowstar not that gutted this month but then again did not think I was pregnant all the way past ovulation so I was prepared. Hopefull for this cycle as if I do get pregnant my due date would be near enough my dd birthday and that would be just my luck lol. x

Got another question and this is going to sound really thick. I had one spot of blood yesterday morning then nothing untill 8pm when I began to flow. I have read in another thread that you count from the morning of full flow as cd 1 so I would class today as cd 1 not yesterday. I am really confused now. FF automaticicaly started my on cd 1 as I in-putted light flow.

Stash - I'm finding the 1000mg of EPO alot better, thank you wondering whether to 2000mg now I've been on them a week.

Last night of soy isoflavones tonight, found them alright although I think they have suppressed my appetite. Hardly eating and when I do I'm full quick ... Not that I'm complaining, help me lose a few lbs.

xx

 

[debzie]

Answered my question in another thread ff stated that if you start late evening or at night you class the next day of full flow as CD 1. So here I am (again lol) on CD 1.

good luck missy moo could de with losing a few pounds my self. x

[Glowstar]

[happyshopper]

Thanks Glowstar , I mentioned to the acupuncturist yesterday and she said it could be the EPO and I hope shes right. Ive stopped it now so hopefully it will go away xxx

 

[Jen1802]

Happyshopper I hope that everything is ok and its nothing to worry about! Good luck for the 12th! Well today is 10 dpo for me...still no sign of af. Could this be another day onto my lp Here's hoping How are you finding the acupuncture Happyshopper? Have you noticed any differences with your cycle? xo

 

[frogger3240]

may I also ask you ladies what cycle days do you take eveing primrose oil and what mgs I am taking soy 200mgs cycle days I said yesterday cd 3-7 but instead I meant 4-8 so today is cycle day 5 for me thanks ladies for your help on this...hope your all doing well...

 

[happyshopper]

Thanks Jen . Great news on the LP, its all good from here. It was only my second session yesterday and found it much harder to relax. She put needles in legs, wrists, temples to help overthinking), forehead and at the top of my head. From ovulation she assumes that I am pregnant and the treatments are calming and nurturing and at the start of my cycle the treatments are much stronger so I'm not sure it will have much benefit this time. I cant say I see a difference yet but Ill see if there have been any changes in the next couple of weeks. xxx

Hi again ladies, the reason I asked about the microscope is that I just bought one. I've not got the ferning yet but then I'm only on CD9 of 28-30 day cycles. This is also my first month using soy and it made me feel horrible. Headaches and nausea. I'm wondering if I should've taken it so soon after my laparoscopy. This is the first cycle since they removed the endo. Like I said I've been stalking this soy discussion and just couldn't wait. Anyone else on CD9? Poppy I've been watching you with interest. I've enjoyed ur posts. Is this your second pregnancy on soy? I got to page 155 of this discussion and skipped to the end realising it was still current so here I am. How many women do you think have got their bfp's through soy on this thread alone?

Oh now don't laugh but last night after bd'ing I grabbed the microscope and put some sperm on it. I've heard you can see the little swimmers through it. I SAW NONE! Though it was second hand leakage, sorry tmi, so I guess they probably died. It was def sperm and not my cm. Has anyone else tried this?

 

[MissyMoo88]

Hello kimmy ,

I am on CD 9 , I took soy CD 5-9 . I took the tablets at night and seem to have been fine, although I do feel they have suppressed my appetite alot!!

Looking forward to seeing when I'll ovulate, this is my first month with soy iso.

How many cycles have you been taking it?

xx

I honestly wouldn't think you would see them on the SM as they are smaller than the point of a pin...I know the SM is fairly powerful but wouldn't think it would be that powerful either that or all you had was the semen and not the sperm

 

[poppy666]

Hi Kimmy i know Soy can give you headaches but not known many with nausea, have you tried eating a little of something before you take it of an evening?

Yes this was my second time taking the Soy and second pregnancy, i didnt mess much with the dosage and changed my days of taking it second time around.

There is another Soy thread which has a poll of how many have got their BFPs off it, think it was 24 last time i looked, but im sure many women have not entered there's with the excitement, im guilty forgot to this time

I did this ages ago and I saw nothing either so try not to worry xxx

 

[Kimmy74]

You girls are great. Thanks, I'm breathing a little easier now. My DP is only 28 but hasn't been tested. I'm pushing him as it is. He'd like to wait a couple of yrs but time is ticking over for me. Life is cruel to women!

 

[Stash777]

ah debzie hugs honey, did your temp end up dipping beforehand?

I'm 14 dpo temps still up in the sky and BFN, haven't used another frer, I only have one left but have used half a dozen ic's and stark white so NO IDEA. I wonder if I in fact O'd later than FF says I did, dunno. according to temps I could possibly have o'd later but all the other signs say no - grrrrrrr

It's just a wait and see game now I suppose. soooooooo very frustrated

I was thinking that you might have O'd later a couple days later, but then your CM and CP wouldn't match. I'm just as confused as you are since it looks like you should have a BFP as your LP is longer than normal this cycle. Fxx that you just haven't produced enough hcg to detect on an HPT yet.

Not sure about increasing the dosage, but if it doesn't make you feel bad and you're not over the max dosage try it out and see how it works for you. Always nice to lose a couple extra pounds.

Answered my question in another thread ff stated that if you start late evening or at night you class the next day of full flow as CD 1. So here I am (again lol) on CD 1.

good luck missy moo could de with losing a few pounds my self. x

Good luck on your new cycle, though I'm sorry to hear got you.

I usually take my soy at night right before bed since I've heard that it can cause side effects (headaches, nausea, etc.), and so far I haven't experienced any of those side effects. When are you taking your soy?

 

[Lisa2701]

Hi ladies, I hope you don't mind me joining you.

Quick history: Hubby and I have been TTC for 16 months now with no luck. I have very irregular periods at the best of times and non existent periods the rest of the time. I have had my hormones checked and I have been checked for PCOS - everything normal. .

I have decided to try soy and see if it will help me so I have went and bought some today . Here's the thing.... my periods were completely missing from september 2010 until March 2011, SO i am now about 14 days ish into a cycle of unknown length.... I know soy is meant to be taken like clomid at the beggining of your cycle, but given the fact I can go 6 months between periods should i try just taking the soy for 5 days and see if anything happens or do i wait it out to see if nature decides to be nice to me this cycle and do it all by itself? I can't stand the thought of it being another 6 months before I can start trying things to help with ovulation. I have just ordered more Ovulation tests as due to not having a period for six months I hadn't bothered with them, but it will be a few days before i have them...ahhh what to do, soy or no soy?? x

 

[Stash777]

Hi Lisa - Another gal, Soili, was going through the same thing, and if I remember correctly she took them but still hadn't O'd. I personally haven't taken them at any other time than the first of my cycle, so I'm not sure either. My only suggestion would be to make an appt with your Dr to get provera to induce AF. I've gone months without AF as well, and end of last year through the beginning of this year I was given provera to induce AF (I think it was like 3 months in a row that it had to be induced?). So frustrating, huh? I wonder if any of the girls in here might know a natural way to bring on AF???

 

[Lisa2701]

It really is frustrating, its like you don't even stand a chance of a BFP if your not having proper (or any) cycles. I have just found some OPK's in the cupboard so i will maybe use them couple of times a day, ever day for next couple of weeks and see if "anything" is happening. Need to go back to the doctor anyway so i will ask her about something to induce periods, although to be honest I have just finished one so not sure if i should induce another one, or wait a few weeks to see if natures going to take care of it?

 

[Stash777]

Exactly! I would wait a couple weeks to see if you do end up Oing - glad you were able to find those OPKs.
