Soy Isoflavones! Natures Clomid!

[Jennifer.]

Girls I am freaking out! I miscalculated and thought I was on cd 5 when i started the soy iso but I was actually only on 4. im not on cd-6 do you think I screwed myself up this cycle? I was so excited about this month =[

 

[Betheney]

no i think starting on 4 is better or have you now taken them for 6 days instead of 5?? i did that once and it was fine.

 

[Jennifer.]

I've only taken them for 3 days so far so i'll probably take them for 5 like i'm supposed to..or do you think I should do the 6 days?

 

[Betheney]

no no only do the 5. I usually do mine from CD3 so starting at CD4 is fine.

 

[Jennifer.]

have you had any success with Soy?

 

[Betheney]

yep. I always ovulated CD21 to CD25 then i started using soy CD2-CD6 and it moved Ov to CD17 and i got my BFP on the second cycle but on the first cycle i didn't even BD around Ov so it doesn't really count.

right now i'm breastfeeding so my cycles are having Ov anywhere from CD20 to CD40 my cycles were months long and really irregular i think BF screws with the hormones so i started soy again (a different brand this time) and took it CD3-CD7 i've ovulated CD14 for the last 2 cycles the first one was the same a write off because i didn't BD but the second one (last month) i guess we were just unlucky. This month is the 3rd month and it's only CD3 so i will start taking them now. I don't know if it's the different brand that is making it CD14 instead of CD17 or if it's because i'm starting CD3 instead of CD2 but either way i don't want to mess up a good thing so i'm sticking to these numbers.

Betheney, what brand of SI do you use? I'm going to use the Spring Valley brand that's from Wal-Mart. I'm just waiting on AF to arrive so I can get on with a new cycle (I have 2 days left of Provera). Since my miscarriage in Feb. I've had 3 anovulatory cycles and the cycles I did O on were CD 19, 27, and 19.

Blackmores phytolife

It's a menopause tablet. Most soy-iso ones are.

Hi ladies so I think I Od! If it's true (have to wait for a couple more high temps to confirm) that means soy helped a little by making me O about a week early if I don't get my bfp this cycle I'll up the dosage/day. See if I can get my cycle even shorter

 

[hugs3409]

how many mg were you taking. If you do it again, you up the dosage, not the day. Everything I have read was to only do it for 5 days or it can have a negative affect on OV instead. Don't know how true it is or not. good luck fx'd

 

[Tallmom2b]

Hi hugs I did 120mg a day CD 3-7. Someone suggested I do 160mg a day cd 3-5 and 200mg cd 6&7. So I guess I'll try that next time

GL to you!

 

[SockriTease]

The soy moved my OV back one day, and that's cool. I just wonder if it did anything to my LP because mine was pretty lengthy. 3dpo today and not much to report other than temping after OV is confirmed is driving me crazy .

Im still stalking ladies on my soy free cycle. my temps are so erratic without soy.

tallmom yeah for ovulation.

Betheny the advice is. inly to use soy for two cycles as it can have a cumulative effect and the increased eostrogen levels can cause cysts to form. that's why i am having a break.


nice to see some new faces welcome.

I know but It's a risk i'm willing to take. Going off the soy could result in another 2-3 month long cycle. Yuuuuuuck!! But my soy gives me 3 cycles worth so I may reconsider after this cycle.

Thats great Betheney! I should have just looked at the OP to this post and I would have seen it did work for you. Silly silly me

Has anyone having some weird side effects with it? I'm having an..odd one..and i'm not sure if its just a coincidence

Betheny, this may seem like two really silly questions but do you think the reason why is because you maybe breastfeeding? I know that when I was breastfeeding my period did come for 20 months and when I stopped it took 7 weeks for it to arrive.

Just for my knowledge since you are using soy and breastfeeding, does the soy go through into the milk?

GL to you!

that is what I am doing, this is my first go round with soy or anything for that matter. I just did the 3 days of 160mg, now going to do the 200mg tonight and tomorrow. good luck fx'd

 

[hugs3409]

boy deb, those temps are pretty erratic lol. Question, how do you get all those months on your chart like that. I can't figure it out. I want to be able to compare to last month, but can't figure out how to do it. thanks and fx'd

 

[debzie]

In fertility friend chart page go to the sharing tab at the top homepage setup and exclude exclude cycles. If you just want to do it yourself then go to chart stack in the analysis tab. I just keep.playing with mine all the time its an obsession.

 

[Dawnlouise30]

a couple of questions for you lovely ladies......

how do you decide when in your cycle to take Soy?

does it have any side affects?

how is it different to agnus castus.

sorry for the questions, but any advice would be great

thanks
