The first time I used soy I had a five month old baby and hadn't had a period in about a year and a half. I used vitex for 2-3 months, which I felt normalized my hormones somewhat, although still no period. Then I stopped the vitex and took soy for five days (can't remember for sure but I think I took 120, 160, 200, 200, 200). I actually ovulated either at the end of the five days or possibly the day after. Got my bfp two weeks later. I actually didnt know I was pregnant. I went to the Dr because nothing was happening and she did blood tests to see what was happening with my hormones. She tested hcg as well and rang the next day saying congratulations.
This time I had my first period in like 2.5 years (with two pregnancies in that time though). Again i took vitex for a couple of months, then stopped when i got af. On cd 3-7 I took 200mg soy, ovulated cd 22 and got a bfp 10 days later.
I've been breastfeeding through both cycles.
hey ladies,
Any of you ladies who use soy, did it delay ovulation for you, bring it sooner or no reql change?
Im on cd 25 and still waiting for my +opk....a typical cycle for me would be a +opk on cd 21 with ov on cd23/24.... Although my cycles this year have been a little crazy, the past few months have been close to normal for me.... Should i up my soy dose next cycle? I took 120mg cd3-7 xxx
good luck!
i wondered whether taking it days 3-7 was working for me, with me having linger cycles, wondered if the effects would have worn off by the time i ov?

thanks ladies!
I kept it the same what with being quite new to it, what do you suggest? My capsules are in 40mg so have been taking x3 so 120mg each day.... I just need to know if i definitely did ov coz i need to start my progesterone
I did 120 days 1-5 the first cycle I was ttc my ds, which didn't work for me so I tried upping the dosage gradually and it worked got my bfp my second cycle on soy which blessed me with my now 23 Month old son....we had been trying for over 10 month's. I also used Emerita pro-gest progesterone cream after Ov as I had a previous m/c at 6wks. I never got a positive opk that cycle either so I know how your feeling. I just paid attention to my cm and started the cream once cm was a tacky consistency.
i will definitely up the doses next cycle! It hasnt delayed ov as such, my cycles are always on the long side. Before this year, i would ov on cd24 which was normal for me. But now its just all over the place 
if i did ov when my chart said i did, then it infact brought it on earlier so im potentially 5dpo today then my cm is creamy/tacky and have no other pains/twinges etc....lets just see what the next few days brings...
my lps are usually 8-10days!! I tested today but i dont know......i think i see something but its a squinter..... What do you think? My temp went up a little today too...
xxx
when are you testing again??
another day i want to wish away again.... 
when i woke and saw the low temp i instantly felt af-y...but once i was up it stopped so figured it was in my head when i went to the loo to test my cm was (tmi alert)....'hanging down' from me...it was clear, not tinged with red or anything so thats a good sign.
thank you! I got a bfn this morning and a low temp
My boobs started hurting last night, just the odd sharp shooting pain in my left one. This morning its in both and more often...they also feel quite hot. Think i usually get this sometimes before af, so just have to wait it out...again...
I had a look on ff and looked at preg charts where they have post ov temps like mine....a few women got their bfp when their temp was below coverline so thats given me some hope xx
Your symptoms sound promising hunny! Ive had that dull ache across my abdomen for the most part of my tww! Cant believe im having a tww that is actually going to be two weeks! Its a miracle! Hope my 8-10day lps are a thing of the past now...could soy be responsible for that dya think? I started acupuncture aswell and have had 3 sessions throughout this cycle so am hoping that has helped too! Xx
Fx for us all! xxx
thank you, that does sound promising, although.....ive had quite a day...... So i woke this morning thinking i was 13dpo....got another bfn....then again (like the past few days) ive had ewcm...so much i decided to test with an opk....i got the brightest opk i have EVER seen! so i was like now i am cd34 waiting to ov??? 
then somebody said you can get +opks when pregnant and many had positives just before their bfps and considering i got a faint line on a frer yesterday it could be the case.... I just really dont know what is going on ...i used orog cream last cycle with intent to use it this cycle but as ov crept up on me then it wasnt until 7dpo that i was convinced that ff was right and i did ov and by then i didnt want to start the cream, thought i would see how things go. So then i got to today13dpo and i was thrilled that id got here by myself with no cream. It was a miracle seeing as my lps are 8-10days....now it may not be the case so it was a good thing i didnt take the cream if i havnt actually ovd yet ... Lets see what tomorrow brings.....again 
xx
oooh that sounds promising!!
Wishing you lots of luck with this cycle too! You are very good if you can wait another few days before testing again.... I know preg hormones can take afew days to increase, but still, i do it everyday from 8dpo
Fx for you!!!
i am being forced to believe that i am infact heading for a late ovulation....luckily we bd last night so we'll see what the next few days bring... Will try and get a bd in today at somepoint too! Got to keep up tradition and get a soy baby first time 
thank you everybody for all your help these past few days, i would have seriously lost my mind 
xxxx
think I'm out!! If we didn't catch the egg, AF should start in a couple days as I'm pretty sure I did indeed O!! Just waiting now ugh!!
but i definitely ovd this time and my temps are up nicely. Very good temps actually as last cycle i was on progesterone cream and every cycle before my lp temls were very low, dipping beliw coverline, short lps, so fingers crossed i get a decent lp length this time (9months would be nice) but il be happy with 10days+ no real preg symptoms but will start on the ics tomorrow xx
