AFM: My cycle are long so hoping that next cycle it won't be with SI
AFM: My cycle are long so hoping that next cycle it won't be with SI
Can someone help me figure out this dosing? Here's the link to the SI I got. https://www.vitaminshoppe.com/store/en/browse/sku_detail.jsp?id=VS-1098
I can't figure out how many mg is in one of the pills. If you look under Supplement Facts it says the serving size is 4 tablets and that's 400 mg of soy protein isolate. so I took that as each tablet is 100 mg but now I'm thinking that's not right. Above that it says this:
SOY BEAN EXTRACT (SOYLIFE)(SEED) (STD. TO 3% ISOFLAVONES 70 MG, PROVIDING: GENISTEIN 7 MG, DIADZEIN 35 MG, GLYCETEIN 21 MG)
Does that mean it's 70 mg? So between 4 pills that would be 17.5 mg each...which can't be right. I have no idea how much to take!

I'm starting to think I really messed up my cycle. My temp keeps raising.So according to fertilityfriend I would have ovulated a few days ago which would be 1 week earlier. However, my OPKs were negative and I didn't have any ewcm. Actually, I have very very low cm this month.
Might be stress though. I decided to quit my shitty job that makes me miserable, but haven't told my boss yet. I'm so stressed out.
Jensha, SI does change the temperature around a bit hence the opk are the safest as that will pick it up. Its still early days yet...keep tracking with opk and see how you go! Good luck!!!
oh!!! I didn't know that! Thank you Twinkle for the info!
My temp got back way down this morning. I'm so confused!
Congrats again for the BFP! Can you remain us what you did this cycle?

This is right. 1 pill would be 17.5 mg
My Soy brand is different (Estrosoy) but it works like yours.
In mine it says:
Fermented Soy, dried 6.0% extract (bean)
670mg (containing 40mg total isoflavones)
and the serving size is 2 pills. So each pill is 20 mg of isoflavones.

Hi Jensha, Thanks I am very excited but also a little apprehensive as I hope this is a sticky bean!!!
I actually didn't try SI this cycle as I had issues with my DH not wanting another baby, so I took a break to use the time to convince him otherwise. The time that I did try i was on 3-7 (3-5 100mg and 6-7 150mg). I missed my fertile period as that was when DH started to have second thoughts.
There are quite a few here that can let you know their experiences and stories - the earlier post are actually quite interesting to read as well and some of the ladies do call in to say "Hi" sometimes. My suggestion is to continue to OPK and BD every second night as SI can bring O early or later than your normal cycle and can shorten or lengthen it too. Good Luck hon...all the best.

Hello ladies, those who have re back on this thread will have seen me before. I have tries soy a couple of cycles and back in april last year got my bfp on a soy cycle. Sadly this ended in a missed miscarriage. Have taken soy since with no luck. Hopefully this cycle things will change and I have decided to give it another go. Doing cd 3-7 I started last night 160mg and the rest I think I am going to play by ear. I am not temping as soy does tend to make my temps erratic I am armed mealy with my brand new Clear Blue Fertility monitor and a very willing and eager OH.
Hi, i came of the pill 5months ago but have only had 2 cycles the first from the withdrawal bleed was 53 od 39 and then od 62 od 77 anf am now currently on day 20 and really worried that ive got up to a months wait to even ovulate. Do you think if i took Soy now it would encourage od to come sooner or do you have to take it at the begining of cycle after Af?
I just want to be regular and have more than 2chances to get a Bfp in 6months!

Ok scrap my last post looks like im not going to do soy thid cycle as i have been chosen to take part in a clearblue trial. One of the conditions is not on fetility drugs and have to give daily urine samples. Don't eamt to screw up the oestrodol results. Oh well. x

debzie - You should do a journal about the trial. It sounds interesting. What are they testing for?
Maybe you won't need the soy.

Grrr, have ended up with a painful bout of Costochondritis, haven't had it for 17 months so don't know if soy has triggered anything (it's inflammation of rib cartilage, every breath is agony).

No worries, past twice I have had this pain & they sent me to hospital for xray to make sure it wasn't PE, thankfully this time my doc could diagnose it without hospital this time & it's not a life threatening condition, just bloody sore lol. Thanks for suggesting that tho, shows you're looking after me
