Soy Isoflavones! Natures Clomid!

[CdnEquestrian]

I'm either going to do soy or clomid this cycle....not sure which. If I get clomid, it'll be on CD3 (that's when I see the FS and he said we could MAYBE try it this cycle) but if I use soy...what are the best days and the best dose to take it?

I was thinking CD3-7 or 3-8, and probably 100mg which is equivalent to 50mg clomid, correct?

Do you ladies find that doing 100mg for the first 3 days and 150mg the last 2 days is better?

I just ended a 97 day cycle...and have PCOS. FF gave me an O date, but I believe I didn't O last cycle at all.

Welcome cdnequestrian - I took soy for the first time this cycle and I took it from cd4-8, 120, 160, 160, 200, 200. I definitely O'd on cd13 and I'm now 9dpo. My temps have been looking great this cycle, o had some Sharp cramping pains yesterday and a .4 temp drop this morning. I'm hoping these are all good signs good luck to you this cycle, hopefully we will both get soy babies!

Welcome spinnergrl - I wanted to let you know that I too have regular cycles and ovulated on my own but I took soy this cycle to see if I could hurry things along, so far it's not messed anything up for me and I definitely had stronger o pains this cycle so I'm taking that as the soy did something! I'll be testing on Tuesday (12dpo) so I'll let you know how it goes. FX for you

Did you space it out over the course of each day or just take the dose all at once? I'm soy-stupid. lol

Thanks for the welcome, ladies. I've seen the list of soy BFP's....so i'm really holding out hope that we can all add our names to that list soon too!!!

Awesome! Thanks so much for the information. What days and how much did you take?

 

[Spinnergrl]

Never mind! I realized after I hit submit that the post above was yours! Whoops!!!

My fingers are crossed for a bfp for you!!

Welcome Spinnergrl,

I think soy will help you. It has me already this cycle and this is my first time taking soy.

What she said lol .

Welcome to the thread hun. Your last cycle was really long so i think the soy will definately help you . I'm sure i read though that for women with long cycles like you CD5-9 is better days to take the soy on but don't quote me on that cos i could be wrong but i have heard of others with long cycles doing those days

 

[CdnEquestrian]

Well, i'm open for all advice since I have NO IDEA how to take the soy. lol

I stupidly thought I was just going to do the clomid and didn't need to know about the soy, but I switched doctors and this one says we'll MAYBE do it this cycle....so I don't want to pin my hopes on that. So soy is my backup. lol

Thanks for the welcome, ladies. I've seen the list of soy BFP's....so i'm really holding out hope that we can all add our names to that list soon too!!!

I took the full dose before bed as I've heard the side effects are not that bad at night.

 

[CdnEquestrian]

Aww. Thank you all for the warm welcomes. I think i'm going to take it in a full dose at bedtime so if there is any side effects, I should be asleep.



I think i'm going to go with this one too "dose 100 days 2-3,150 days 4-5 and 200 day 6". Thanks alin3boys.

Soy buddies!!! lol Hoping we have more BFP's to add to the list. The BFP's make me really positive that soy might be the key.
