Soy Isoflavones! Natures Clomid!

[Stash777]

Thank you ladies for the replies!! Good to know that 2 out of 3 experienced cramps up until BFP!!

Stash do you usually cramp with AF? or in the TWW, or was it much worse with soy?

I have PCOS and don't usually O, so it's hard to say if that's just how I usually am during the tww. The three cycles before this one I was going through fertility treatment (including prometrium which has a side effect of cramping during the tww) and the three before that I was on soy. All tww I was crampy. I don't remember being crampy before that, but I also wasn't Oing.

Oh ok, just wondered.. Of course looking for any slight indicator that this cycle may be diff than the last.. LOL.. Thank you!!

how is everyone doing? my soy baby is due in 18 days! but she will be here before then! i developed polyhydramnios and am getting an induction date on sept 8! my dr told me not to be suprised if i dont even make it to the induction because my uterus is hyper extended from all the fluid! i can't wait to share my soy baby with everyone

OMG Prettymachine!!! Super exciting the end is in sight!!! Good luck and can't wait to see pics!! xoxo

hi ladies...im going to order some soy and try it maybe next month with provera and see how things go...just out of interest how much luck have ladies had with soy on here? and on on average how many cycles of soy has it taken to conceive? should you only try it a handful of times.Im totally new to all this temping etc as i dont have periods naturally so have no 'cycle' at all. It took me nearly 18 months to conceive naturally last time and i dont want to wait that long again - although i know im so lucky to have LO...x

it worked first cycle for me! i see your LO is only a couple months old...that alone with help! you are EXTREMELY fertile after giving birth! they recommend only taking the soy 2 months at a time because it raises the estrogen and could have more negative efects over long-term. good luck!

Cbmd I got my bfp my second cycle with soy but went on to miscarry at 11 weeks. Hoping for the same success this cycle. Good luck hun. x

Hey everyone!

Would you mind if I joined you guys?
I have been ttc for over a year but I have really irregular cycles ( last cycle was 86 days and I didn't Ov)

I am on CD18 and took soy cd2-cd6. Just waiting to Ov now
Xx

 

[cbmd]

hi harry....im going to try soy for the first time too...i have no periods at all...so on my first day of provera to bring on period so then i can start soy....fx'd for you.......xx

 

[cbmd]

oops meant harri apologies
x

 

[harri]

I took provera to bring mine on too!

 

[cbmd]

i had been ttc for well over a year...with no periods and and had read about people using provera to start periods so i went and asked the doctor who said he had never heard of it but was willing to give it to me. i did it for three months in a row (not using anything else, as was new to all this ttc and hadnt heard of soy) it gave me light periods but never conceived. However after third lot had a really light period and must have somehow ovulated the next month as thats when i conceived. I really feel provera gave my body a kick to wake up and do something! obviously my periods havent come back since our LO and my pcos feel just the same....so want to try with soy this time.....can i ask how you take provera? i remember i took it for 5 days 21-27 but cant remember how much, i think it was 5mg twice a day...ive lost the box but still got loads of tablets left which is what im using now...

Welcome harri hope you dont have to wait too long to ov.

I am finished my soy for this cycle so there will be nothing much to report for a while really hope it brings ov forwarda day or so or back a day or so. Fingers crossed. X

 

[amommy]

No the polyhydramnios was not brought on by soy it was a birth defect in our case

hey ladies, just checking in to let you know i'm going on round two of Soy.. AF caught me today..

I had spotting this cycle, which I never have.. I spotted on 8DPO & 11DPO, I think it may be because fo the Soy Also, AF came 2 days early, my LP was shortened.. So I'm taking a BVit this cycle to try to bring my LP back out to 13 days.

Last cycle I took Soy CD2-6, 120, 120, 160, 160, 200.. I have PCOS, and longer cycles.. I do usually O on my own.. What would you ladies suggest? I was thinking of changing this cycle to: CD3-7, 160,160,160,200,200..? Let me know what you think xx

 

[debzie]

Sorry floridagirl thought you had done it this cycle but nevermind. Again sorry. I found that when I did soy cd 2-6 I had spotting until cd 10 and like you a shorter LP so I have stuck with cd 3-7 and I did as you suggested 160 then upped it to 200mg. As this is officially my 4th (with a break when I got my bfp) cycle of soy I went for it and took 200mg and have been fine had less side effects than last cycle strangely. Good luck hun.

 

[FloridaGirl21]

I had an evil evap at 9dpo, followed by BFNs & then AF.. I would have put money down that last cycle was my cycle. But oh well, my body fooled me..

I'm glad you've had less side effects.. I will be doing the same as you this cycle then.. GL

 

[harri]

Hey! I still have no sign of Ov, what day did you guys ov on soy?

Sorry AF got you xxx

 

[FloridaGirl21]

I o'd CD 21
