Soy Isoflavones! Natures Clomid!

[Kaede351]

Hmmm, I've worked out, if I stick to 3 capsules of soy a day for 5 days I can do 2 cycles one 1 pot haha... 3 a day is 120mg... that's about enough right? :/ Just the only place I can get them is Tesco and that's miles away from here >.< And me without a car!!! lol

XxX

so i finished my si last night i took 120 x 3day then 160 and finally 200mg. I hope it works again. Im day 7 and ov last cycle on si at day 8 so im hoping i ov in the next few days and get my BFP.

I noticed yesterday and today my breast were tingly - does anyone else get this pre ov or is it just a fluke?

good luck ladies.

Should I take it all at once? And since I started on cd6 should I stop on cd9 or do the whole 5 days ending on cd11?

Crystal, I take my pills at once at bed time. The most I have taken is 200 mg. I gradually increase my soy over the five days to reach that. I take 120, 160, 160, 200, and 200. Some say that taking it in the morning and then getting sun exposure helps but I have not read the research on that. The research I have read says it is not good to take them too late into your cycle though. I know you said that you have longer cycles but I would lean toward stopping at 9. This is just my advice though and I'm in no way a medical expert or soy expert.

Thanks! I think I'll try that!

hi pdmcd17 - i am on day 12 of using SI and have also been having the tingling boobs, i dont know what it is or if it is to do with the SI.... from my basic understanding of how SI works (to do with hormones) i would think that because of the hormone adjusting it is making the boobs tingle... as i said im not 100% sure but thats what im thinking
but as i am only cd12 i think it is preovulation because i am doing OPK's and they arent positive yet but shouldnt be far off being positive... guess its just waiting an seeing

i have started a blog that you (or anyone) can come and have a look at - https://soy-isoflavonettcpcos.blogspot.com/

i really do hope that the SI works for all of us....

Ive had funny tingly boobs too, almost like after ovulating but without the pain lol. I took my last lot last night, hopefully it will mean I have a headache free day tomorrow!

no im on CD12 - i took it CD4-8.....
i had headaches while taking it and they didnt stop until CD 10 so 2 days after my last dose of SI....

 

[elliots.mum]

just want to see if my ticker is working!

 

[PocoHR]

I am wondering, is CD 5 too late to start soy?

 

[Elanesse]

No poco, you can take soy on the same says you would takeclomid so cd5-9 is fine. Thats when i took mine and i ovd on cd16. X

 

[Elanesse]

Ive had some very high temps for me in the last two days. I usually have temps of around 97.8 post-ov but on sunday my temp dropped to 97.6, yesterday my temp was 98.05 and this am it was 98.17 (and i took it half an hour early this morning!). Im only 6 DPO today so i doubt it means much, but soy must have had some effect! X

Oooooooooh I see!! haha.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one, the second morning of taking them my head was so bad I seriously considered not taking them again but since then they haven't been to bad, in fact today my headache has pretty much gone

Hello Everyone,
Thought I would take a moment to say hi! I have been stalking this thread for a while now. *DP (partner? wife? hersband? not sure which one to use) are doing our first round of AI in July with a known donor. My cycles got all sorts of weird starting in October but we figured it was stress (wedding and my Dad’s passing). We figured out that my cycles were really long 35+ (they never used to be), but didn’t think it was too big of a deal. This month was supposed to by my tracking month (I bought at CBEFM) and was excited to see how it worked. *Sadly, I am on cd 22 and no peak, just lots of high days. I am in a state of panic, of course. I have read that the first month doesn’t always read a peak but gosh darn it, I want one. *Since we can’t BD like most couples and have to rely on a brown paper bag delivery, we have decided to try Soy Isoflavons. I just purchased my order from Drug Store online (which is where I got my monitor). With my FSA and the drug store dollars (thank you uber expensive monitor), I paid $0 out of pocket. *Here is what I got.

FetileCM:
Vitamin C as ascorbic acid******* 100 mg***********
Calcium from coral calcium****** 51.6 mg**********
Proprietary Blend ******* *1610 mgL Arginine ****** *
N Acetyl Cysteine ****** *
Coral Calcium *
Grapeseed Extract ****** *
Lactobacillus Acidophillus

Twinlab Prenatal Care:
Vitamin A 8,000*IU
Vitamin C*120*mg
Vitamin D*400*IU
Vitamin E*60*IU
Thiamin*3*mg
Folic Acid,Folacin 800*mcg
Vitamin B12 12*mug
(there is a lot more in it, but I didn’t post it all)

And the Star of the hour:
Natrol Soy Isoflavones (which are 50% off right now)
Isoflavones 40*mg*

Do you think I covered all of my bases? Anything I should add?* I was thinking of taking the Soy like this:

Day 3: 120
Day 4: 120
Day 5: 160
Day 6: 160
Day 7: 200

Does that look right?* Any suggestions would be much, much, much appreciated!!

 

[Crystal94560]

Kate, I dont have any advice because I am new to this too and still trying to figure it out as well.. But just wanted to say "welcome" Im keeping my fingers (and toes) crossed that we all get BFP soon inshallah.

Hi ya ladies, well i did join this group a while ago as was wanting to try soya out, except then i had no af for months and forgot my password and login name so im trying again ha ha.
Here is a lil info, i tried for my lo for 5 years, since a m/c in 2004, had a beautiful baby girl last august thanks to clomid. . I dont ovulate, but dont have pcos however seem to have the same hormonal trouble, ie luckily dont have cycst atm but do have irregular periods yucky hair growth every where and acne and so on.
I have started dieting and low carbing to see if this helps, a week later and i get my af . I will be on my first cycle of soya and doing days 2-6 as this was my successful days that i used clomid. Im excited but nervous! i think im going to take 120 2-5 days and on the last 160. Does that sound ok and hope u dont mind me intruding. baby dust to all xx

Hi ladies

I have just come across this thread and have spent the last few hours reading a fair bit of it (although nowhere near it all!). I have decided to start taking soy next cycle and am feeling quite excited about it!

I have a (just turned) 1 yo daughter and i'm very ready for another. we have only been trying again for a couple of months but my cycles are crazy and that makes it very hard. We worked very hard to conceive DD naturally and used chinese medicine and acupuncture. we were told then that i'd need to see a fertility specialist and probably take chlomid but i wanted to try other things first. Glad i did! We cant afford chinese medicine this time around though, so im hoping soy might help!

My cycles vary from 5.5 - 9.5 weeks. My LP was also very short but vit B sorted that out (assume it's ok to keep taking vit B with soy?). I also have a lack of CM so i am excited to read that lots of people got extra CM with soy. OPKs dont work for me - i get positives when im not ovulating and negatives when im not. I was tested for PCOS and the blood test came back yes but the u/s no. from what i've read that doesnt rule out PCOS and i think my doctor had no idea what they were talking about - she recommended i go on the pill to help with the lack of CM problem - hello, how does that help me conceive a baby?!!!

I temp chart to work out when i have O'd. I believe i have just O'd this cycle, so hopefully i will get lucky and wont need to take soy, but unfortunately, i doubt it.

Anyway to everyone. I look forward to sharing this journey with you
