Hey gardenofedens, Im over on ex mirena too, just waiting on af after first cycle on soy. I took it from cd 3-7, 140, 140, 160,160, 200, had very few side effects, and all was normal up untill 8dpo when i started spotting again. Im pretty sure that its low progesterone though and not soy related. There seem to be many many success stories after soy, so good luck taking it! Everyone takes time adjusting after mirena, so dont be worried you haven't caught yet, it will happen when your body's ready for it x

im starting to think i did not take enough soy this cycle. i took 40,80,80,120,120 cd3-7.the last 2 days i had a headache, i was under the weather as well so im not sure what caused the slight headache. did i just play with the soy this cycle? im wondering when O should show up since i have had 2 short cycles recently.. 25,22

 

[gardenofedens]

im suprised you havent conceived yet! a friend of mine got pregnant about 3 weeks after getting mirena out!

when taking soy there are days you have to follow... the last one you can choose is cd5-9 so you would have to start them today! i didnt look if you are in the US, but if you are the only place i have seen them in-store is wal mart. they are labelled "soy isoflavones." anywhere else i am not sure... most of us need to order them online. you can take between 110mg to 160mg a day. i did 110mg when i got my + after 6 months unsuccessful TTC. everyone is different. one other thing i swear by is pre-seed! i would definitely see if you can find that around. MY personal last advice is to BD every other day until your OPKs start having color...then BD every day through your + OPK and one day after its gone negative, just for good measure thats how i did it. if you get the pre-seed i would used it only through the days your OPKs are getting darker until the day after, as it is a little $$! and remember that regular lube and saliva kill sperm so avoid those! good luck!

Thanks so much! An old high school friend mine in SoCal got pregnant within a few weeks after having the Mirena removed too...she's due 9/9/11. I'll definitely check walmart when I get out today. We've been using pre-seed already and we BD every other day to every day. OH and I have pretty high sex drives so it's hard to limit it to every other day....maybe we will this cycle. OH thinks I'm too stressed and wants me to stop temping but really, that's the only thing keeping me sane. Taking my temps allows me to know I've actually ovulated and keep an eye on my cycle. If I were flying blind, I'd be a bloody mess - I know that for certain!!

Well thanks again and congrats on your pregnancy - looks like you're almost done!

Well I went to Walmart and bought the soy! They're 40mg pills so I took 3 for 120mg. I guess I'll just continue to take that amount until cd9 since I'm on cd5 today?

Fingers crossed for this cycle!

yes that sounds great! i remember by the last day i took it i already felt like i was ovulating... very pinchy and so much EWCM... i didnt use an OPK so i dont know if i actually did, but i BD that night i felt that way(cd6) so if anything feels funny, go for it to be safe! lol! but watch for OV around the right time too! i wont know until we see when LO shows up i guess....she has always measured ahead

what part of california are you in?

Hi all, I'm on cycle 5 TTC and thinking about trying something to help speed things along. I'm 27 years old and had my Mirena IUD removed 3/4/11. My husband is 33, we're both active, in shape, and live a healthy lifestyle. I really didn't think it would take this long to get pregnant so last month we did some at-home fertility tests from ebay. Both came back normal so we're talking about seeing a fertility doctor next month in cycle 6. In the meantime, I think we've also decided to try soy but I really don't know anything about it. I haven't read through this whole thread yet but if anyone can give me the crash course, I'm all ears! Thanks!

hey!! the stats i have read is that it usually takes couples around 6 months to conceive so dont feel too down yet!! its completely normal for it to take awhile. In Aus, they wont let you even see a fertility doctor until you hit 12 months of TTC unsuccessfully (unless you're over 35). In saying that, can completely understand why you might want to speed it along. I was looking at your charts and they do seem a little bir irregular but not that bad so not sure if soy will help all that much but i dont think it hurts to try. You are lucky you are already onto cycle 5 of trying... we also started in april and i still havent finished cycle 3, even with help from soy. I have written an entry on my blog about what i have found out about soy and what im doing and why so i have pm'd this to you if you are interested. I dont like posting my details publicly

I guess we will find out if it was enough when we see how your cycle goes!! I am not sure if soy really helps people with short cycles? I'd love to know what info you have found (out of curiosity) as i only researched from the long cycle perspective.

I'm finally getting a couple of higher more LP like temps. my LP will have to be longer than the pathetic 8 days it was last cycle. hanging out for next cycle so i can give soy a really good go!!

Hi ladies......Jaz your chart already looks better than last cycle Are you doing vaginal temps? I found it made my charts much smoother.

Anyway obviously I haven't been able to take soy with having the MC and D&C on 18th June so we were having a cycle of not really trying too hard but not preventing. I am in complete and utter shock as got a BFP yesterday at 9dpo I'm really worried as had no AF, this is my D&C cycle. Just praying this one sticks

[Crystal94560]

congrats!!

Im in northen ca as well (fremont)

Im on cd 8 now. For the last 3 days I have had Dark ( almost black) light af with clots... Im wondering if thats from the soy?
I accidently did the soy an extra day (cd 1-6) does anyone know if that is going to effect anything negativly?

 

[Crystal94560]

Also, does anyone know how many cycles it's safe to be on soy. I know on clomid they want you to take a break after a certian amout of time...
