Soy Isoflavones! Natures Clomid!

[2mommiesTTC]

Thanks ladies! I appreciate the feedback...what I am most confused at is the supplement facts in the back. I bought my Iso at the vitamin shoppe...

In the back is says
serving size 4 tablets serving
Serving per container 30

It has
Soy bean extract (soylife)(seed) 2334 mg
Std. To 3% isoflavones 70mg
Providing:
genistein 7mg
Diadzein 35mg
Glycerin 21mg

Soy protein isolate (supro) 400 mg

So my question is I am only looking at the 70mg right? And I would just double that up?.

Woah, no idea what all that means sorry hun! I got mine off Fertility mumma on ebay. Hers are 50mg SI and nowt but genistein,Diadzein,Glycerin in it. Sorry I couldn't have been more help hun x

Hi Ladies,

I had a question. I am CD1, thinking of starting Soy on the CD3-7 schedule. My cycles are strange since the MC, prior to the July MC, I had irregularly regular cycles (I would OV, but AF would be 3-4 days long every other month.) Since the MC, I have had a 41, 32, 36, and this one was 29 day cycle. I use FF and it "said" I OVd each month. CD21, 17, 18, and 18. I am wondering if I should try SOY. I don't want to bog you down with too much info on me, but I use frozen "donations" and softcups (read more info in my journal). I wonder if Soy will help with a "stronger" OV? Will it interact negatively with what I take?

I take B6, B12, L-argnine, baby aspirin, Green Tea, Robitussin, and EPO. Any answers would be appreciated or even pointing me in the right direction.... Thank you all!

2momies sound right that you double the dose to 140mg. Good luck.

Mrsmm hello and welcome to the soy thread. The only draw back to soy in your cade is that it can make ovulation date a little unpredictable some women it delays ov others it brings it forward. I can vouch that it works my last pregnancy was a soy beanie.

Hello ladies! I'm joining the Soy thread as I'm trying it for the first time.

I took my first dose tonight. I misread the label (don't do like me!!!!!) and thought 1 pill was 40 mg so 1 took 2. Actually the serving size was 2 pills, so I took 2 more 2 hours later to get to a total of 80mg. I hope it won't screw everything up.

Well I had some bright red spotting yesterday, so I think AF is on her way. So my first cycle with soy was a bust! I am going to try a higher dosage because other than more fertile CM, my cycle was the exact same as last month (same O date, dame LP if AF shows tomorrow, 1 day less if she shows today). I was hoping soy would give me a stronger follicle so I would have a longer LP, but no such luck!

That sucks. What dose did you take? (sorry if I don't go back a few pages to find the info)

CD 3-5 120 mg, 6-7 160 mg, luckily I O on my own, but I am thinking it is just never a strong O. Which poor egg quality could explain my BO in August and my problems with progesterone could be from a failing corpus leutum... just speculation.

so i started soy today. i have the spring valley ones. 40 a pill. so i guess im taking 160 and starting on CD3 today. so i took 160 today.so my Q is do i up it for a couple days right b4 the end? and i do 3-7?

 

[Miss Redknob]

I don't think you have to up it at the end but some do. That is the brand I took and I took 120,120,120,160,160 last cycle and other than exta CM it didn't change my cycle at all. I am calling my Dr. after this cycle (I think) so this may be my last cycle on soy. I am going to do 200mg CD3-7.

 

[MrsMM24]

I started on 2-6 at 80, 80, 120, 120, 160. I didn't have any negative reactions so I am increasing it. Even if extra CM is all that I get I am going to try another cycle. This was kind of a test run month and if we get a BFP I will be elated. Donations aren't as plentiful or easy to arrange this month for good reason. We definitely won't be doing an IUI this month.... We shall see, I wish you luck KIMBRE and TWINKIE! I can't wait to see how it goes!


AFM... Not much to report, cycle was a little short this month, I am have a light spotting day and last night was the same... Still hanging in here for my testing threads as promised!!! I have Dec, Jan, and Feb going now! (PM me for the links) Let's get these BFPs rolling ladies

ok cool! thats what im planning on doing. this was my second day using soy... so just 160 tomorrow then 200 2 days after. im also using fertile CM,opks,softcups on fertile days, preseed and drinking fertilitea.
thanks!

 

[Miss Redknob]

Hope it works for you, and you get that

I also had the hand twitch but no b vit so I think its the soy I had that my last cycle when using soy this cycle that has not happened.

 

[SuperMommyttc]

I'm on cd-7 and started Soy on cd-3 this is my last day using my soy hopefully by x-mas we will have our bfp by using high sensitivity 10miu pergnancy test which detects pregnancy at 7dpo

 

[Twinkie210]

Last night was CD3... took my first dose of soy, 200mg. Going all out this month, we'll see if it helps!

 

[MrsMM24]

Good Luck Ladies!!!

I had my last dose of soy on Saturday, my FXD! I have also noticed that my CM has been quite plentiful, I wonder did the soy do that? Normally after AF it is not like this already. FXD!

 

[Kimbre]

Same for me!! I never ever have this much CM right after AF! Must have been the soy I'm taking fertile CM also this cycle. Hoping for a good

Dear ladies,

the topic is looong and I'm wondering if could somebody tell me in a few words how much soy and which day is supposed to take.

Also do you know if I can mix Cinnamon&Honey with Soy?

Thank you all
