Hi newbies!:wave:

Well ladies, if you could take a look at my chart, I would appreciate it. I have others there too. I think that SOY delayed my cycle!!! I am sooo nervous, wondering what to do.... I think that I am going to go forward with the "donations" that are set for next week. I would have been OVg on about CD16 which would have been next week if AF had come. I don't see any AF in site.

Have you every heard of ladies just going forward with BDg in that case? Any help is appreciated.


AFM... Nothing much happening, awaiting AF. I expected AF to be here by now and set up donations, I think that I am going to keep them scheduled as it is next week and if AF shows, I still have a chance. Push them back couple of days and move forward. I am just nervous as to why AF is missing. And of course ladies... I took an IC Saturday and stark white as it should be. Hoping I have a chance where I get AF or not...

Hey everyone,

So I got my positive OPK 4days ago, I had the right CP and CM to go along with it as well as very intense O pains but the problem has been my chart. It was really high for my pre O phase, about the same as my post O phase of last month, the only thing that I changed was the soy. Could it has messed up my temps that much? I havent been able to see a clear dip or spike, well there has been a few but they are weird, I am just confused and wondering if this means that I didnt O at all or if the say upped my temps enough to make my chart hard to read??

I attached my chart. The first one I removed the two very eary dips because I took them an hour and a half early because of my schedule.

Input????

@Rebandy11: Sorry hun, I'm just starting to chart this month so I'm no expert. I don't know. I'm sure someone else who knows about charts will answer you.

Hello everyone. Was wondering if I could join this thread? I tried soy about 8 months ago and got pg the first time I used it. Unfortunately, we lost the baby. But we've decided to give it another go now. I took soy again this cycle and I got a smiley face on Thursday the 5th. No smiley face on friday so pretty sure I already O'd. Now I get to wait (the hard part, haha) So decided, (if you girls will have me) to join you all

Hey Mama,

So sorry to hear of your loss xxx

Fingers crossed for you this time, this is my first time trying so I'm a bit nervous and a bit excited. How much and what days did you use/ate you using both times? Not sure how much to try, but heading out to purchase some tonight & starting at bedtime I think as it's cd2 for me x

Hey just_married, thx for the welcome.
When I got pg before with soy I started low and gradually built up the dose by a pill each day for cds 3-7. So started at 40 (1 pill) then 80 (2 pills) and so on until I was at the max dose 200 (5 pills). I think, hahaha. It was a while ago...
This time around I'm going for the gold, hahaha. I took 200 (5 pills) for 5 days, cds 3-7. But I'm totally thinking that maybe I should have just stuck with what worked because I feel nothing like I did last time. My BB's hurt and I've been feeling cramps since like 2dpo and uterus area feels tight but not sure if this will be my month Tested this morning (even tho I KNEW it would be neg) and of course it was But somehow, it's getting to me. I guess I got spoiled last time with getting pg right away. I guess I kinda thought it would be the same this time around. I don't even feel tired like I did last time around. Blah...

So, how much are you thinking about taking? and what days? and how long have you been TTC. Do you have any other children? Sorry so many Q's, haha. Ttys

I asked around and another ttc buddie has just took 100mg for 5 days, think it was cd2-6, and she is 6 wks pg one 1st cycle, but others have said they increased it like yourself so I'm not sure. I'm thinking maybe 30, 60, 60, 90, 90 but I really haven't made my mind up yet as I think if I get bad side effects I'll chicken it lol. On the other hand if I get no side effects I may go higher! Days 2-6. This will be cycle 11 (9 months ttc). Married in April & we both have 1 child each (mines 16 & his 7). Never had any bother before, so prob just my age (40).

How about you? How long, what's your history? Pm me if you prefer lol.
Keep me up to date on your soy iso this time I'm crossing my fingers for you xxx

Yay! You inspired me to go buy some more too. (I don't think we caught the egg this month. I feel like I'm out...) oh well.
I'm going to order preseed too. I forgot we used that too. I don't have much CM now-a-days.
Oh, and I bought a BBT therm. Gonna see if my temps can either confirm or deny whether my hunch (not preggo this time) is true or not.

Hi Mamaof4n1more! Welcome here!


Hey ladies, what kind of Soy do you all use? I'd like to know the exact brand please. I'm in the USA and I've been buying Nature's way Estrosoy
( https://www.naturesway.com/Products/Herbs/14740-EstroSoy.aspx )

It was recommended to me by the lady ate my local vitamin shop because it's all natural (no weird additives, only fermented soy + red clover).
On the bottle, the serving size is 2 capsules and it says ''Fermented Soy, 6.0% extract (bean) (containing 40 mg total isoflavones)''

So it means, each pill is 20mg of isoflavones. I've been taking 8 pills and will up to 10 pills. That's a lot of pills!
Anyone else has tried the same brand?
