Soy Isoflavones! Natures Clomid!

[Mytimeisnow]

Hi girls, I really want to join this thread. I've been reading up on it for a while an would love to be a part of this BFP journey

A little about my journey. I have been TTC #1 for close to 2 years now with no luck. I had irregular periods all my life and the cause of it is imbalanced hormones. My doc says that my LH levels are high and that is why I am not ovulating. I'm use to getting my periods only a few times a year but recently my cycles have seemed to try to regulate on its on. My last cycles are as follows, the last listed one being the most current:

120days
50days
46days
29days

And I'm currently on cd 8, I bought a bottle of soy iso's yesterday and since I'm too late for this cycle then I will shoot for the next. I heard soy is good for irregular cycles and I'm sure I don't ovulate on my own. Do you ladies think that soy will be a good choice for me? I will appreciate any advice, thank you

It depends on the reason for your irregular cycles. If you are estrogen dominant, then from what I read soy is NOT for you. You could always give it a try though. The worst you could do is cause yourself not to O and have another long cycle, but if you don't think you are Oing anyway, I guess there isn't much to lose! I would start off with a fairly low dose to make sure you are not allergic and then increase to the dose you want to take.

Hello twinkie! Thanks for your reply. Well when the checked my hormones, they just said that my LH levels were off and that everything else is fine. I'm a little iffy about trying soy but I really don't have much to lose, seeing as though I don't ovulate. I will definitely give it a try next cycle. Have you had any experiences with soy?

I have had limited experience with soy. This is only my 2nd month taking it. I O on my own just usually late in my cycle and it varies from month to month (it has varied from CD18 to CD29). I have low progesterone, which was discovered during the pregnancy I MC'd in August. The first month I took soy I took 120mg CD3-5 and 160mg 6-7 and I O'd on CD18. This cycle I took 200mg CD3-7 and it is looking like I will O today, so CD14 for the first time ever! I am planning on taking the next cycle off of soy if I don't get my BFP, but it will be hard since it really seems like it is helping me!

TUPI, now that I see your other chart, they aren't that much higher than your last month, they are on the same pattern. As well, it is still early after AF to tell. It really isn't the temps that make the biggest difference with soy, as it is the OV.... Hang in there Hun


I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Happy Holidays to all of the Lovely Ladies on my testing threads and the Ladies of BnB! I hope that everyone has a safe time, filled with happiness, togetherness, smiles, family and cheer!


AFM... TTC area: Well, it looks like we may be able to line some donations up in January, Thank goodness I don't have to watch another OV date go by, it was as much torture as the TTW. Other than that, not much to report, checking in on a few threads/BnB friends and of course still hanging in here for my testing threads as promised!!! I have Dec, Jan, and Feb going now! (PM me for links) Let's get these BFPs rolling ladies

Thank you
wish you all the best

Awwww that is soooo adorable, she's gorgeous poppy

 

[JourneyTTC]

Poppy -- What a beautiful girl! She's absolutely precious!


My post O temps are still staying high and I can't seem to find anything that tells if soy can cause this or not. I'm still getting BFNs and I'm afraid the soy I took is playing tricks on my body/temp. I did find some stringy pale yellow cm today. It was kind of weird. Almost like ewcm only it was pale yellow and it held its shape very well.

 

[poppy666]

Ahhh she looks happy here but dont let her fool you, she has colic and reflux so cries most of the time till around 9/10pm

Hi Ladies

First time Soy user and wondering if you can help……………………

Came off the pill in July and OV has gotten a day earlier each month. Last month OV on CD17.
Took soy from CD3-7 120mg, 120mg, 160mg, 160mg, 200mg.
This month we decided on a more relaxed approach and I wasn’t going to chart, but I have started charting LOL ( I couldn’t help myself).

Started getting EWCM from CD9 which is mega early for me! Did an OPK on CD12 which was starting to get near positive (but I only did 1).
And yesterday (CD13) I had quite strong OV pains and cervix was high & soft, which then returned to medium in the evening and OPK had faded from the previous day.
So after deciding I was probably OVing, me and OH DTD.

I was expecting a temp shift this morning but nothing. Used my CBFM and it is showing low and OPK was negative.

Now I haven’t missed OV else temps would have raised, but I don’t understand how I had all the signs of OVing yesterday, but no thermal shift.

Any ideas whats going on? Has this happened to any of you ladies in your experiences of Soy?

 

[Twinkie210]

This cycle I started getting EWCM on CD9 and tons of it, but I didn't O until CD14...

maybe you O'd later in the day on CD13 and you didn't have enough progesterone to cause your temp shift? See what your temps do tommorrow morning.
