Soy Isoflavones! Natures Clomid!

[Allie84]

Vanessa, I totally broke out this cycle and I am normally always zit free. I'm thinking it's the hormone changes, the increase in estrogen probably? I had two spots right before ovulation.

 

[vanessa24]

Allie it's so frustrating because I'm not used to it so I really hope it's all worth it in the end . Did yours go away once you stopped the soy? Last month I don't think I ovulated so I really hope I do this month...

Hi ladies, I am wondering if I take Soy CD2-6 then how long after CD6 should I start useing my OPK's?
I useually "O" on CD15-16 and have anywhere from a 28-32days cycle. But my cycle legth and LP has been getting shorter (LPwas 11days last cycle) so I am also taking B6 this month and 4mg of Folic acid so I am trying everything this month since I can't see an RE until next month even though we have been TTC for over a year.

I started using OPKs on cd8 but got two positives on cd16 and cd17... good luck sweetie xx

Tonight is day 4 of soy at 160 mgs and I noticed that on day 2 of soy I started breaking out and it still hasn't gone away. I'm assuming it's the soy because Im not really the type to get acne. Has anyone else had this type of reaction?

Yes I took soy on cd 3-7 on Monday - Friday last week (120mg Mon-weds then 160 thurs and Frid) and I did get some acne, which I haven't had since I was a teenager, over 10 years ago!! I havent had a new brakeout since Saturday, so maybe it was the soy that triggered it.

Also dont think I ovulated last month so will be happy if the result is a +OPK in the next week or so!

I was just cursing all the spots on my face and neck when I read it's probably the soy

I've taken ~200 mg for 5 days now. I'm actually on CD 550 +/- a few Had a baby and haven't had AF since. I stopped breastfeeding and am trying to kick start my cycle as I know AF won't be here for a few months. I have PCOS and after the older 2 kids I didn't see the for months and months after I stopped breastfeeding

So, fingers crossed soy will do the trick

 

[Trying 2 cope]

Hey ladies,

has anyone been to a fertility specialist after having taken soy? Did you tell him/her? What did they say?

 

[EmmyReece]

I haven't seen a fs yet ... my dr won't refer me until february at the earliest

I'm having a few aches on my lower left side of my tummy, should this be happening even after I've been on the tablets for only 2 nights?

I can't wait for it to go away because its really starting to depress me. I hope you ovulate this month though

Hopefully it will stop once you have taken your last soy tablet, it will be worth it if it work for us.

Thanks, hope you do too and that ovulation is followed by for us all. xx

How did you manage to conceive your first child with PCOS?

I'm lucky enough to only have only a mild case of PCOS and I do ovulate on my own maybe twice a year I suppose. With the first two kids it took a while, didn't use OPK's or anything, just had sex probably every day or every other day What can I say, we were young and had lots of time

With our youngest, 9 months old now, we tried for a while but nothing happened, stared using OPK's and they were always negative, temp was always low etc. So I switched docs and finally got diagnosed with PCOS, got Met & a double dose of Clomid and got pregnant right away. I feel really lucky because I know tons of women with PCOS who've really struggled with getting pregnant.

I always imagined it was just pure luck with the first two,we must have caught the only egg that year if you know what I mean Really grateful to have our three girls.

Best of luck girls! My PCOS got a lot better with Metformin and some diet changes. I have more regular cycles (at least shorter than 100 days) when I'm a good girl and lose some weight Hard to keep it off though.

I am also on Metformin but lately I've been having a lot of ovary pain on the right side so I think a cyst might be coming along . My doctor doesnt really want to give me clomid because of my weight so I am trying to loose more weight and I have already lost 30 lbs . I wish I could just buy clomid over the counter though I think I would take my chances . I am honestly surprised you have had 3 babies though because I know PCOS makes it harder for us but I hope I can at least have 1.

Im tempted to buy it off the internet, but not too sure yet x

I am too and I would try it if I knew someone had a good experience with it...let me know if you end up buying it or hear about someone who has. Thanks. Oh and have you asked your doctor to prescribe it?

 

[EmmyReece]

Ok, I'm really confused

I had on off spotting for 8 days from 6th November, and when it stopped I started to take soy. But the thing is this morning I went to the loo and I have brown discharge, not heavy, but enough to mark the tissue when I wipe (sorry for tmi) ...

Am really confused now and not sure what to do. I've only take 3 nights worth of soy, should I carry on with the last 2 nights worth or should I stop in case it's ib?

 

[Trying 2 cope]

Ok, so more questions from me. I'm due af today, my day off and then be working loads, so i need to plan my first soy cycle. I bought the tesco ones. They say 40mg soya isoflavones per capsule. However in the small print it says ingredients: soy isoflavone compound (containing 10% soya isoflavones). What does this mean? How many should i take? I have regular cycles but its been a year! So days 3-7? And stupid question - is first day of period considered day 0 or day 1?

 

[Tanya8]

Hi Girls,
I have very irregular cycles. Last November I got off BC and didn't have AF until June. The next cycle was 58 days, followed by one of 59 days. I took soy this time around (CD5-9 120mg). Soy moved my O up by 8 days. I Oed on CD39 which is not great, but way better than CD47. Next month, I'll up my dosage in hopes of improving my cycle even more. (I bought soy in Walmart).
