Soy Isoflavones! Natures Clomid!

[prettymachine]

Sadly, the witch got me this morning at 18dpo according to FF but I think I was only 10dpo based on cervix position.

So my new plan - I'm not temping anymore. I'm not continuing soy (it - or something - pushed my ovulation back from CD15/16 to CD24 and my LP from 14 days to 10! Plus my temps were all over the place pre-ovulation when they aren't usually). I'm not even going to track which days we BD or my CM. I'm completely addicted to BnB so I don't think I'll be able to give it up but I'm going to cut back and focus on something other than making a baby. I return to school for my teaching credential in just under two weeks and that's going to keep me crazy busy on top of it getting busier at work. I got my final test results from the "pre-conception" appointment back today though without speaking to the doctor I don't know what any of it means. Hopefully she'll call this week so we can discuss it though. She said if anything was abnormal she'd start me on Clomid right away, otherwise we have to keep trying for 3 months and take an infertility class. I also had a second blood test confirm that my Rubella titers are too low so we're going to have to take a three month break from TTC. Since OH is already a teacher, we're hoping for a summer vacation baby so we can both be home and are going to keep trying for now. In November/December we'll take a 3 month break for the vaccine and then continue trying after that. Not sure if the doctor is going to prescribe the clomid or not and unsure if I'll take it either way...kinda wanting to go all natural for a while.

Anyway, that's what's going on in my little world. Hope everyone is doing well.

so sorry to hear! maybe you will have an "accident" before your 2 years are up, if not, i hope they fly by for you! (but not for me, please lol).

maybe if you are prescribed clomid, give it one try... then you will know if it was meant to be...

Two years? I missed something?? I'm certainly not waiting two more years before I start trying again!! lol. We're just going to "NTNP" for the next couple months and then take a three month break for the Rubella vaccine (it's a live virus and can cause birth defects) and then I'll probably start charting and all that again...

Hey ladies,
I tried soy last cycle (100mg 3-7) it didn't work I O'd on CD38 so I thought I would give it a go again this cycle (150 mg 3-5 200mg 6-7) it seems to have worked but I don't know when, ff has me at 4dpo on dashed lines but i'm not convinced could someone look at my chart please? unfortunately I didn't opk this cycle as I used so many last cycle and just got fed up... Now wishing I had!

another question I have is how many cycles can you take soy for?

 

[Glowstar]

Looks like CD16 but could also be CD19. The reason for the dashed lines is because you've recorded EWCM and a HSO cervix AFTER FF pinpointed ovulation.....so based on what you recorded after CD16 I would say CD19

 

[Brynden]

Glowstar! Saw you had posted in here, had been wondering how you were doing, I'm so glad to see your blueberry!!

 

[amommy]

haha, glad I finally found the "right" thread to ask my question.. and maybe I can join you ladies as well..

I have a question about soy isoflavones, I bought a supplement that says each tab is 100 mg, but it says 40% soy isoflavones, does this mean that the actual amount of soy i is 40 mg? I am cd 3 today and hoping to use soy for the first time this cycle!

I am not sure if I belong here as I already have children, but at least wanted to ask the question!!

Thank you!

 

[poppy666]

Quite a few on here with children welcome sweetie. yes it basically means 40% of Soy and rest is of the listed ingredients. Good luck

so im guessing you are going to take the soy on cd3-7? or different days? do u know how much u are going to take yet?

 

[amommy]

well if it was 40mg of iso then 100mg would be like 50 mg of clomid right? I have had pcos in the past and a short luteal phase, so hoping maybe that is still my issue and not my age!! I am planning to take 200mg days 2-6! Thanks for asking

 

[Babykiser]

oh ok, and yes u are right whatever u take of soy is half that of clomid! well i hope soy works good for u and it brings u a

 

[amommy]

thank you.. and if the tabs say 40% iso soy per 100 mg tab, that means that each tab is 40 mg of iso soy right? I really am kind of confused over where it says that..

 

[Babykiser]

yes that is correct 40mg of soy in each tablet.

 

[amommy]

Thank you, I really feel dumb since I cannot seem to ask the proper question for people to undersatnd what I mean!! haha, what a joke!

Thank you for the well wishes, very sweet of you!! and I will keep trying, or possibly try femara after a few cycles if this doesn't work!!

Hugs everyone, and hoping for everyone to have a HUGE BFP soon!

Thanks for looking Glowstar,
its confused me as my cycles have been pretty low temps in comparison to this cycle, even after ovulation. This morning I got my solid lines so CD19 it is

Hi ladies, haven't been in here in a while because I started on fertility meds but we're taking a break from the treatment for now. So I decided to jump back on the soy iso wagon. I do have a couple quick questions for you gals though. Clomid didn't work for me because it thinned my lining too much, but I read somewhere that soy iso doesn't thin the lining like clomid does. Do any of you gals know if this is in fact true? Also, any info on taking maca along with soy (I know not to mix soy and AC)? Also, soy did work for me in helping me O. Oh, and one more question (sorry ) I'm trying to figure out the best days to take soy since I should be CD1 tomorrow (AF started tonight). I usually start on CD3, but thought I should switch that up a bit to see if it makes a difference and not sure if I should start it earlier or later. TIA on any help you gals can give me.
