Soy Isoflavones! Natures Clomid!

[IceQueen86]

Okay well I think I'll just do 2000mg of EPO. When I wake and get ready for bed will be a lot easier to remember. Today is CD 3 so I start my Soy today! How are you ladies getting by?

I'm waiting for my nightmare cycle to end, my temps are incorrect, so that's the second time in my cycle already when i'm waiting to O ( don't think i did before) might have to bring on my af if i don't O soon So i'm very impatient to try soy again soon.

Ice, How long are your cycles usually? What cd are you on?

My cycles are very irregular my body is still healing from bcp. I started temping in may so since may i have ovulated only 4 times and my cycles have been 36, 89, 39 and 54 days long. Right now i am CD32 Gosh seeing these numbers written out makes me depressed ...
How long are your cycles and is it your first time using Soy?

 

[Thai]

Wow 89 ?! Geez! Mine are only 26-27 day cycles. And yes this is my first cycle
Have you thought about taking vitex to regulate your cycles? Or black Cohosh to bring on AF ?

LOL 89 yes, a nightmare! Omg i'm so jealous i wish my cycles were like yours. I tried Vitex for 4 months.The 4th month was may and then i had 36 day cycle and i O'd on CD21. I'm starting to think that maybe i should try it again.
I use Parsley tea to bring on my period. I wanted to do it last week but i had some ewmc so i decided to wait and see if i will O.
How long have you been ttc? How come your cycles are so regular, do you use Vitex?

My lil sister has PCOS and she rarely gets a period. She did take Vitex which I ordered online and she took it for about 2 weeks, got a small period so she stopped taking it. she has Red Raspberry Tea and also Soy. But she has to get a period in order to take the soy. Any suggestions ladies? I did take Soy last spring and had reg cycle, got back on Nuvaring until I can find a suitable and stable relationship.

Good luck ladies and sending lots of baby dust!!

To bring on a period for me 2 things helped. Parsley tea (took me 1,5 days to get my period) and natural progesterone cream (took me 18 days to get my af).When i used NPC then before that i didn't have a period for months.

I had irregular cycles, got on the depo shot for 3 months and BAM regular cycles lol. Have you spoken to your ob about it?

 

[BeautifulD]

Ice do you take anything else?
have you had any testing? xx

 

[Diddums]

Do any of you ladies use baby aspirin? Do you take it throughout the cycle or after ovulation only? I've had a bit too much caffeine over the last couple days which apparently constricts blood flow to uterus so would like to take some baby aspirin to counteract that and make it better for implantation. Thanks in advance xxx

 

[BeautifulD]

I was advised to take it throughout my cycle honey x

Oh wow! Well i don't want to touch any birth control anymore. Was on pills for 4 years and now my body is confused and messed up. I haven't been to ob cos i moved to the states and i haven't got my health insurance yet. But called some doc here for advice and she said the only thing she can do is to give me bcp again

Ice do you take anything else?
have you had any testing? xx

I was taking prenatals, fish oil caps, aspirin and soy. But in my new cycle i want to try royal jelly, bee pollen, bee propolis and EPO. Had to be good for egg health and hormone balance.
I haven't had any testing done. But i think i just have hormonal imbalance since my body was depending on synthetic hormones for years plus im 2-3 pounds underweight. And since i don't have enough body fat my estrogen levels must be very low too which then makes me ovulate so late etc.

I'll tell you I'm convinced my protocol is what got me my forever baby. This included:
300mg co enzyme q10
low dose aspirin
high dose vitamin D
prenantals
omega 3
Soy....

I think it's best to stick with one protocol for a good few months before changing if I'm honest xx

 

[BeautifulD]

Oh and I was like you honey, my cycles were all over the place, maybe it's an idea to go and get some testing done? x

I would go but i don't have my health insurance yet, that's the only thing that's stopping me Did you get tested and what was the reason you had crazy cycles? Can you tell me why you taking 300mg co enzyme q10 and how many IU's of high dose vitamin D in a day?

PS! i have been taking prenatals and omega3 for 7 + months. The only thing i added this month was aspirin and soy.

 

[BeautifulD]

Yeah I had a full hormone blood work up done and they found nothing

I was taking the co enzyme for egg quality, I believe it worked. previous to taking that I would ov anywhere from cd 20-30+
The vit d is 1000iu.
I was on the bcp for years and years and I'm convinced that's what screwed me up! xx

Gotcha! That bcp is a devil, doc's shouldn't even give it to women When did you O after you started taking this co enzyme? I was researching this vitamin d3 and one doc in some article said that women should take 8000iu a day and on the other side women said that their doc told them to take one 50 000iu pill a week (that's around 7000iu a day) for first 3 months or so.
