Hi ladies! I have a question for you. This is my first month trying soy and I didn't realize that the soy was only 44mg! The bottle said 110mg and I didn't realize until today that that was only total for everything together! So I took 44mg cd 3-5 and 88mg cd6-7. I have taken clomid before at 50mg on 2 seperate occassions. 1st one got pg but ended in mc, second time nothing. Do you think if I did 1 last day and bumped up the dose it would hurt anything? I don't want to mess myself up, but I am so mad that I didn't get as much as I thought I was!

 

[poppy666]

A lot of people bump up dosage on last few days so no i dont think it will mess anything up

Thanks Poppy!

I finally have internet, so I thought I would check back in again.
I am on CD52, I took 200mg of soy days 2-6 (I think?). My last AF was light and crazy, and unlike any AF I've had- EVER.
So for the past week, I cannot get enough sleep. I sleep for 8 hours at night, and have to wake up to pee. Then all day long I am peeing every 45 minutes to an hour, but not much comes out. I thought it might be a urinary tract infection, but it doesn't burn or anything, just CONSTANTLY running to the bathroom. I want to test, but I am so afraid of yet another BFN. I have no other symptoms at all. No morning sickness, no tender boobies, nothing. Just extremely exhausted and constant peeing. I need to gather the strength to test, but I just don't want to be let down again...
I guess I'll keep you all updated on this thread if the soy worked for me on the 2nd cycle.
Baby dust to all!

Test Minimonk...Test!!! Alot of women do not experience all the symptoms. when I missed 2 periods, I was around 12 weeks when I first tested, I had extreme fatigue, sleep anywhere and everywhere, sore nipples and tender breasts, light nausau but no vomiting and was running to the bathroom seems like every 2 minutes.

Good luck when you do test and be sure to let us know.

I was going to test, then AF showed up
So I am going one more cycle since hubby was getting excited about my last cycle being so long. He was so certain I would get that BFP this time.
Yesterday I took 200mg again. Just picked up another bottle from WalMart.
What does Royal Jelly do? I saw it at the store and I've heard it mentioned on these forums before, but I wasn't exactly sure what it is or does.
Anyway, cycle 3 of SI for me. Hopefully it works this time!

 

[hopefulmom2]

Good luck minimonk, on next cycle, hoping for that bfp this time.

As for me, well im on a long break from ttc right now, just getting into a relationship and taking it slow, hes already mentioned his take on kids at this point. maybe a while down the road before that point. Im going to see about getting something in the meantime.

good luck ladies and I am sure each of you will have a bfp soon!!!

I am new to this thread but thought I could share my story. I am 44 years old and have a 19, 15, 10 yr. daughters. About a two years ago right before my eldest was to graduate we started thinkng seriously about having one last baby. My husband and have been married a long time and we were in a lull in our relationship. Given our ages and seeing that the kids were really growing up fast we decided that we had time to work out our differences but if we were going to have a baby the time was NOW.

At 42.5 i went to the Doctor to speed things along. Prior to this we were not trying and frankly not getting along very well. But like all things that would pass. My eldest daughter was about to graduate and go off to college far away. I was stressed and worried and pressured due to the family circumstances and also the sudden need to get pregnant. The doctor said she could up my chances by taken some meds and doing IUI's. I tried clomid. Did not like it and it gave me a headache. During this time I had a blood test with a very high FSH number it was like 39.5. I took to the internet to learn all about things and became obcessed.

I didn't expect to have any problems due to my easy nature of being pregnant in the past. But that was 9 years earlier. Anyway, i did 7 IUI's they did not work. Doctor couldn't find anything wrong with me. My FSH went to 5. Yep 5 ! I think I had just had a surgery and my body was not in sync yet. I was so frustrated that everything looked so perfect month after month but no pregnancy.

I did IVF and retrieved 5 eggs. 2 embryos. Didn't take. That doctor had me on 900 on meds per day. The absolute most ever.

Then I changed doctor and accupunturist and did 5 more IUI's. Some with meds. My new doctor was very positive and after months of monitoring my cycles reassured me that I wasn't too old. I was frustrated and scared that I had missed the boat. Then in May I took a break month due to a flu and couldnt' inject myself. I got pregnant naturally. Now I am 5.5 months pregnant with a boy and all test have been normal. What happened, I think the good egg finally came out , it took 15 months total. My doctor was postive and that helped and I loved the acupuncturist. My diet sucked. But I was trying to do better and my doctor forbid me to say negative things. She thought my ovaries could feel and hear it..

My story is not unusual, I have another friend who's IVF was cancelled due to no eggs. Then got pregnant on her own at 45. It really can happen...

[MyMiniMonk]

Congrats on your pregnancy, 3Sisters! Wishing you a very happy and healthy 9 months =)

Tonight was my last dose of soy for this cycle. I'm taking the royal jelly 3x a day. I guess we'll just see how it goes. AF ended this morning, and that one was brutal! I had never cramped so bad in my life! I had not had any cramps that couldn't be handled by a few Tylenol since having my son 9 1/2 years ago.
Anyway, I'm hoping this is my month finally! Wish me luck, I sure need it! Eight years and 7 months of infertility, it needs to come to an end!

Today is CD15 for me, and I woke up in the middle of the night and this morning feeling very hot and dripping with sweat. Could this be a sign of ovulation? We bd'd late Friday night/early Saturday morning. CP was high and soft, lots of CM. I've never had hot flushes so early in my cycle. It's usually right before my period. Any thoughts on this? Could it be from ovulation?

 

[hopefulmom2]

I have heard the soy gives you hot flashes, happened to my lil sis while taking Soy. She doesnt have a reg. period with pcos, she wants to get her cycle on track. Trying to convince her to loose some weight first, just a little bit. It could help effectively giving her the results she wants.

good luck minimonk and hope you get your bfp soon.

Hey ladies, just thought I'd share. Last cycle was my first time trying soy iso and I got pg! Sadly ended as a chemical, but I did it. Trying it again this month, fxd for a sticky bean this time!!!

 

[MyMiniMonk]

Good luck Kel! Sorry about last cycle =( But it's a good sign and hopefully this cycle will bring you a sticky bean!

 

[BeautifulD]

soy has worked wonders since my last loss. previous to the loss I would o on cd 18 at the very earliest with max dose soy.cd 20-35 without.... last cycle I oved on cd 12 and this cycle cd 11 with a more normal dose of soy for those of you thinking about taking it... Do it! but of course do your research first

 

[MyMiniMonk]

BeautifulD, did you get a BFP? It says you're 3 weeks? How long have you been ttc? Congrats by the way!

 

[BeautifulD]
