Soy Isoflavones! Natures Clomid!

[IceQueen86]

Today is 2 days since my last soy day and I think I see improvements already. I had a spot of ewcm yesterday which has never happened. Some ladies were saying they get that from a surge of estrogen right after their period ends. Now my cm is creamy vs barely there and sticky like normal. My temps are also looking AWESOME which has me super excited. I am really feeling positive this month. Now to just wait for O.

Anyone else seeing cycle improvements with soy?

For me 2 cycles that i have been taking it has made me O earlier so this month i'm hoping to O even earlier FX

Those results you have sound great!!

Tonight will be my 3rd night taking it. I don't temp during AF, but I will start temping again in a couple of days. I hope I see some good signs also!

How you feeling? Any side effects?

So far, so good. Not sure of any side effects. I've been having a slight headache in the mornings until mid afternoon, but not 100% sure it's related because I also started drinking a chinese herbal tea (dai quai and raspberry tea) for the last few days, and I think the headache started with the tea.

I started out taking SI 120mg for the first 2 nights, will take 160mg for the next 2 nights, then will finish it out with 200mg.

Why you drinking these teas? I have heard stuff about red raspberry but i have never heard of dai quai...

Hi Ice,
Sorry for my typo above, it’s actually spelled *dong quai*. In Chinese medicine, dong quai is considered the "female ginseng" because of its balancing effect on the female hormonal system. A nourishing tonic and fertility herb, Dong Quai helps to support normal blood flow to the reproductive system and aids the body in producing and nourishing the blood. It is used in nearly all Chinese herbal 'blood-building' formulas.

It’s prescribed for the reasons below:

• Support normal menstrual cycle*
• Encourage a healthy menstrual flow*
• Aid with occasional menstrual irregularities*
• Encourage menstruation to begin*
• Aid with occasional cramping and PMS during menstruation*
• Support the body in building healthy blood*
• Encourages circulation to the reproductive system*
• Helps to warm a 'cold uterus'

My reasons for taking it are to encourage circulation to the reproductive system, support the body in building healthy blood, encourage a healthy and normal menstrual flow. I brew it along with the raspberry tea.

I H A T E tea, and the taste of tea in general, but here I am, brewing the hard core stuff myself, and drinking it every night. YUCK! sigh.........the things we do for a baby, right?

I know dong quai as what ladies use to get break through bleeding when having annovulatory cycles. Since it helps start menstruation I personally would be wary about using it post ovulation.

I take red raspberry leaf capsuals myself. I hate tea too so I figured this would be the easiest alternative

I am hoping the soy works for me this month.. I just want to O! My temp went down into the 96° range again this morning and it has me a little worried. Usually I only dip into that range with annovulatory months. Argh I just want to know if I am going to O this month!

Yes, I dont take dong quai throughout luteal phase. I drink raspberry tea every day.

I've been drinking regular 'women's cycle' tea blends from Whole Foods for the last 2months, only thing I've noticed is that when af shows, she shows as red spotting for the first few hours/day. Before taking the tea, af would start out as brown spotting. Now, brown spotting is the last day of af. So I guess that's progress!

I'm hoping by buying the 'real stuff' and brewing it myself, I will get more benefits from it....

GL to you! I normally o between CD12-16, I'm hoping that the soy doesnt make my o happen too late...I'm aware that's a possibility, but thought I'd take the chance.

I do think that next month, instead of taking soy CD5-9, I'll switch it up to CD3-7.

Urgh the lines on my opks are getting lighter and lighter. I know I should obsess over this since I usually have a later O (around cd19) but I was really hoping the soy would help me O sooner.

What does that mean? If the lines are getting lighter, does that mean u missed the o? Sorry, i'm confused...

 

[NDTaber9211]

It means the ovulation hormone the opks detect is barely there

 

[NDTaber9211]

Holy shit I got a +opk! Sorry for the cussing I am just so excited! With my tests being so light yesterday this came as a complete shock! I am also freaking out because I am only on cd12. I usually O around cd19. Looks like the soy is working! Now to go bd like crazy and hope I catch the sticky bean

 

[NDTaber9211]

YES! I have ewcm! I can't believe how much soy is helping me. I am feeling so positive right now! How are you ladies doing?
