[Lisa2701]

I have bought the Spring Valley 40mg ones, what is the best to start off with?? I was thing of doing CD3 - 160mg, CD4 - 160mg, CD5 - 160mg, CD6 - 200mg and CD7 - 200mg??

I agree with poppy...sounds like you have it all planned out well. Good luck!

I took it cd4-8, was supposed to be 3-7 but I forgot on the evening of cd3 so ended up taking them in the mornings. This was my 3rd or 4th try on soy and lowest dosage. I also used instead cups. X x

Hi everyone,

Thought I would post as I have taken soy for the first time this cycle, and I think it may have done the trick of bringing my ovulation forward which is amazing.

Just a bit about me... Im 26, DH is 27. We have been trying for about a year but in that time I have only had 4 cycles including this one as I have really irregular cycles. I have been tested for PCOS via bloods and ultrasounds but they came back as regular thankfully. My cycles are very long - always over 40 days, my longest being June 2010 - January 2011 (233 days to be precise)!

I decided to try soy this cycle. This cycle started on May 24th, and I took soy from CD5-CD9. I used the tablets from Tesco, and took 160mg CD5, 80g CD6, 80mg CD7, 120mg CD8 and 120mg CD9.

I took an OPK on Tuesday (CD15) and got a positive (well.... positive for me. I never seem to get a test line darker than the control line).

On Wednesday my temp dipped to 96.90. Yesterday I had quite a few twinges and my temp had gone up slightly to 97.33. This morning my temp was 97.86. I am hoping that this means I have ovulated but last night I had a sore throat and woke up with a slightly stuffy nose this morning, so it could be that my temp has just gone up because i'm ill.

If I have ovulated, that means I have ovulated earlier than I EVER have in my entire life! Can't wait to see what my temp is tomorrow. Here is a link to my fertility friend chart for you guys to look at:

What do you think ladies, does it look like I have ovulated to you??

Baby dust to everyone!

Thanks,

Leanne x

 

[Brynden]

OOO!!! Good luck elliots.mum and Elanesse!!!

Elanesse - yes I think you've definitely ovulated!!! Yay!!!

 

[Glowstar]

Looks like you ovulated on cd16 to me, FF might need a couple more temps till it puts your crosshairs in. This is where soy works brilliantly and like clomid, especially for some one with such long cycles. It really seems to have done the trick for you, so pleased. X x keep a note of that dosage, it might be the winning formula for you FX,d x

 

[Elanesse]

Yay, thanks Brynden! Can't believe I have O'd so early, i'm in denial! Congrats to you on your BFP hun, sending lots of sticky bean dust your way xx

 

[Elanesse]

Aww thanks Glowstar, I am officially a Soy fan. Lets just hope we BD'd at the right time and caught the eggy. Congrats to you as well hun, I hope you have a happy and healthy 9 months xx Just hope I can join you in two weeks time, but if not, at least I didn't have to wait for months just to find out i'm not pregnant!

hello every1,h r u all.h r u poppy

 

[poppy666]

Hiya im good, how you feeling now?

 

[2mommiesTTC]

I have not been able to get my hands on Soy Isoflavone any suggestion as to what store i can find them in?

 

[pdmcd17]

I got mine in a health food store you know the kind that sells tons of supliments.
In Canada i couldn't find them in any pharamcies not even Walmart

I know a friend of mine goes to Buffalo to one by the big outlet mall to get all her suppliments

goodluck

Hi everyone,
Well I got my blood test results back and the receptionist said my progesterone levels were fine!!! I couldn't ask any further as my boss walked in right at that moment. I'm a bit gutted as low progesterone seemed to fit all my symptoms. So what's left is endo, fibroids, eroded cervix or premature ovarian something (i cant remember what its called) and all of them are less than appealing. Arghh it would be so straight forward if it was low.
I've made an another appointment for next Friday and I'm determined to get as many tests as the NHS will allow to get to the bottom of this spotting. I'll keep you all informed xxx

 

[pink mum]
