Soy Isoflavones! Natures Clomid!

[Glowstar]

Hey Happyshopper, Glowstar is right, dh did an SA and they sent out the kit to him from the local hospital, he had to dtd and then get it to the labs within a specified timeframe on the date they gave him. He told me at the time that there was nothing more surreal than handing over a cup of his sperm to this old guy doing the take in's for that day...felt kind of sorry for him alright especially as the bag they give you to put the sealed cup in is see through plastic...lol. xoxo

I'm going to make OH put his in a FARMFOODS bag and hand it over

Evil Moo that I am...made his appointment today with the ONLY female DR at his surgery In my defence it did say next to her name that she was a fertility specialist.....well that's what I told him anyway (no it did.....seriously)

 

[happyshopper]

Thanks Glowstar & Jen, it doesn't sound too bad. Anyway, DTD in a plastic cup is much easier than what us ladies have to go through; he should be happy to do it lol.
Do you remember that I made some maca flapjacks over the weekend? I hated them but I came back from work to discover my OH had eaten 8 of them. No adverse effects thankfully but he was in a really good mood last night lol. xxx

 

[Glowstar]

was he not SUPER horny you poisoner....

OH has just text me to say he's taken a half day off work for his appointment so he gets there in plenty of time......awwwwwwwwwwww

Hi ladies.

I was here once before back in December when I tried Soy for the first time. I was successful in getting a BFP unfortunately I MC at 7weeks.

I did try it again in February but a lower dose. I didn't ov that cycle.

I've plucked up the courage to try it again this cycle.
CD3-120mg
CD4-120mg
CD5-160mg
CD6-160mg
CD7-200mg

I'm also taking Vit B 100 Complex, Metformin 1500mg & Low dose Aspirin EPO until Ov

I'm currently on CD10 and following SMEP.

Congratulations to all the ladies that have had a BFP since I was here last and GL to all those ttc a soy baby

Not anymore than usual, damn it!! I froze loads more flapjacks so I might defrost them for when I ovulate . It made me chuckle when he said they smelled like the insides to fillings(???) but ate them anyway.
Awww bless your OH, its great he's so supportive xxx
Welcome back Beth, very sorry for your loss . FX you get your very soon xxx

This link tells you how, but you don't need to type the URL text out, if you click the button that looks like a globe with a paperclip infront you can just insert the fertility friend link. The link will appear twice and the second one (which will be highlighted) can be replaced with a title e.g. My Ovulation Chart xx

Hi Beth, so sorry for your loss. Got my fingers crossed for another sticky soy bean for you xx

 

[Beth_welshy]

Thanx ladies.
Congrats Poppy!! I'm guessing u had a successful soy cycle after your mmc.

Hoping & Wishing Soy gives me a sticky bean this time!

[poppy666]

Yeah i was scared to take Soy again at first but thought what the hell and luckily it worked. Fx'd it works again for you too xxx

 

[Glowstar]

I think it's in the option to the top right on Fertility Friend 'Sharing' it should give you the link so you can post it here

 

[Miss_C]

does anyone know if the SI can have long lasting effects. got my blood results yesterday and my estradiol levels are ridiculously low. I onow the soy supresses the levels when taking it but does it pass out of your system daily hence taking it daily or does it build up and then take a while to pass.

any help much appreciated

 

[Glowstar]

I'd like to know the answer to that too Miss C as I kind of weaned myself onto a really low dose this last cycle as last time I cam off it I had a 19 day cycle still debating wether to give it one more go

AFM - OH's SA Appt - went S**T!!! WTF!! the Dr had to look at my results and thought my progesterone (37 @ 6dpo) was low!!! she had to google it to decide it was OK!!! Silly moo! She also did the spiel about we wouldn't get any help because of my age, blah, blah...we already know that!
Anyway - eventually she said that she would need to 'find' out where he needs to take it and he has to make the appointment himself? and then the results go back to her. She said she would phone him in a couple of days to give him the number to phone! She also gave him a TINY vial, no name written on it, not even in a bag etc for him to DTD into! It's the kind you would give a urine sample in? I said to him...how the hell are you supposed to aim it into that!!! anyway rant over.....will see if she comes through.

Hi ladies.

I'm CD11 today and had some brown spotting and twinges in both ovaries. OPK was negative yesterday and negative today.
I usually ov around CD22/23.

Anyone else experienced this?

Thanx

xxx

 

[Scholesy]

Hi Beth, I'm CD13 today and have twinges in my ovaries. I've not had any spotting but I never have mid cycle spotting anyway. Some women have spotting when they ovulate though Are you temping?
My opks are starting to get a bit of colour in, but I normally ov between CD21 to 55 so I'm trying not to get my hopes up xx

 

[Beth_welshy]

Hi Scholesy.

No I'm not temping. R u?
The last time I tried soy I had some spotting a few days b4 ov but it was around CD19/20.
That's why I'm a bit concerned because it's so early this time.
I did up the last dose slightly this time so maybe it's had more of an affect on me.
