Soy Isoflavones! Natures Clomid!

[Irish_eyes]

Hello everyone, I just wanted to ask your advice....do you really think that Soy does help to fall pregnant?

I have tried Soy for one or two months and it did not happen for me but I have also heard that Soy can be bad for you too. I was thinking of trying it again but I am not so sure. I would really love to hear your opinion especially from those you have fallen pg with it. I have never been pregnant, never had a bfp and it has been near three years so some success stories would be nice to hear. xx

trying fertileCM this cycle

Not sure if I'm in my tww or not. Had a bad temp this morning and a missed temp the day before. My temps were bad this morning because I didn't get to go to sleep until 4am and I changed my wake up time to 9am. I still got 3-4 hours of sleep, but I normally wake up at 6am. I also woke up without blankets thanks to dh . However, my cm started changing to creamy yesterday and today it is more creamy. My bb's are also starting to get sore. FX my body didn't just gear up for O and then not O. Guess I'll find on in the next few days.

Details about my soy cycle
Took 80mg cd 1-3 & 120mg cd 4-5
I normally have regular cycles ranging from 26-30 days. The first cycle I charted (last cycle), I O'd on cd 17.

Hi girls!
I have a very long cycle (so far, 45 days and counting, unsure if i have even O'd yet). I was wondering if anyone on here had a long cycle and then took soy to O at a normal time (between CD14 and 20ish). Also, I have read mixed results with people taking the dose all at once at night versus spread out throughout the day. I have progesterone pills from my doc, so I was going to take those once I know I have O'd and then start soy when i get my period, assuming this is not the month for my BFP.

From what I have read, it seems like there are some good success stories. babydust for all!

 

[poppy666]

Not sure but i always took mine all at once before i went to bed and think a lot of soy users took their dosage all at once good luck

 

[JourneyTTC]

I took mine all at night as well. Didn't have any symptoms from it other than a persistent mild headache.

I'm 5 dpo! Soy made me O on cd 12! Last cycle I O'd on cd 17, so I O'd 5 days ealier . Now I just wait! Praying that I get a soy baby in a little over a week

I took mine at night as clomid is taken in one single dose. I did try spreading it one cycle but woas ill got really nausious and headachy. Had less side effects taking them all at night even when i upoed the dose to 200mg a few cycles ago.
Hi poppy little serenity is absolutly adorable. Bet you cannot stop looking at her. Hope you are well.

I have just ovulated on my not a hope in hell chance of getting pregnant cycle lol. Trying to figer out a game plan for next cycle. Still debating taking soy or not as it did nothing for me the last cycles i took it but delay ov and dry up.my ewcm...but in the back.of my mind i think I did get my last bfp with soy. Decisions decisions.

 

[poppy666]

Debz you not tried Preseed and Soft cups? Serenity is great hard work with feeding but worth it

 

[debzie]

Yeah used preseed bit havenot tried softcups. Suppose it woud make sense as I have a tilted cervix. May make that my winning formula for my Xmas bfp. Glad all is well with you. X

This is my second cycle on SI, and my chart is completely different than the last 3. I upped the dosage of SI this time. And I think it's doing something, just hope it's a good thing I'm actually kinda wondering if I O'd yesterday (CD 14) I'm completely not convinced I did, but I'm kinda wondering...

I was going to get some preseed, but I read that there is still a chance that it can damage the DNA of the sperm, increasing the probability of a mc. Any bad stuff I hear about those things is enough make me stay clear, but I suggest doing research before you try preseed.

 

[debzie]

Wow tallmom cd14 ovulation would be awsome. I had a cd15 this cycke on my own each cycle since I stopped soy it seems to be getting earlier. I do tend to have shorter cycles in the winter though. Have not read the research on preseed perhaps i should. Good luck.

 

[Tallmom2b]

That's great your cycles are getting shorter now! How many cycles in a row did you take SI? Gl to you too! It's about time for us to get our bfps!

 

[poppy666]

I used Preseed on both soy occassions and got my bfp's, know loads who also got bfp from Preseed, never heard of anything negative about it but Soy also has some negative research against it too

I would only ever take it for two cycles, was lucky my second go I got my bfp only to miscarry. I then took it my first cyle following the miscarriage and one after. Had my break cycle last and didnot bother this one as I knew OH would be away all of this one. So as you can see I did not know what a normal cycle was until I had these last two. On soy I ovulated between cd 18-20 without it seems between 15-17. I am also scheduled to get my cd 2-5 bloods done at the GPs so would have to arrange blood tests before I took soy. I agree it is about time we had out sticky bfps. This cycle marks 16month ttc.

 

[Tallmom2b]

I know, it's so hard to get conclusive info. out there. Even the prescribed stuff is sketchy. Guess we just gotta hope for the best

 

[debzie]

I agree. x

 

[BabyForMe83]

AF has come today and I plan to try Soy for the first time! I'm thinking CD 3-7 but haven't decided on dosage yet... any ideas?

 

[poppy666]

Take what you feel comfortable with sweetie but just remember 50mg's of Clomid you need to take 100mg's of Soy for same effect. Good luck

6 dpo today Not much going on, but I have had a strange feeling in my lower belly today. More as the day goes on. It only last for a second and kind of feels like I'm riding in a car and going over a hill really fast. Or, it feels like butterflies in my belly when I'm really nervous. It comes on randomly when I'm sitting, standing or walking. At first I thought maybe I was just stressing, but I don't think so? Hoping it means good things! I want my soy baby!
