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!!

Your dosage looks fine sweetie and take before you go bed its better incase you get a few side effects. As for all those multi vits im not sure because some ingredients can counter react against the soy.

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

Hiya dosage looks good sweetie, just take what you feel comfortable with and good luck

 

[elliots.mum]

That sounds like ALOT of meds!!

With the CBFM you might not get a peak the first time using it as it is just getting used to your cycle. A tip.....write the cycle days on the sticks and then line them up. Look at the line closer to the pee end....when that line is darkest that's indicating ovulation..usually within 48 hours...this would normally be your peak. Also 'if' you do get a peak....do NOT feed it anymore new sticks...it is automatically programmed to give you another peak followed by a last high. I always fed mine 'used' sticks (don't pee on them again!) and that worked for me...saves you 2 sticks per cycle.
I think all the meds you are taking could be counter productive. All I have ever taken is Soy, 400 Folic Acid and 10mg of Vit B6. The cycle I got my BFP I was also take Maca Root capsules 500mg and I also used Instead Cups.
These might be handy for you if you are going the AI route as they are normally used for AF and basically go right up inside you to keep the flow in. I used them to keep the sperm in! and it worked If you Google Instead Cups you will find them and also there is a video tutorial on YouTube

Thank you everyone! So, I ordered too much ...I figured it was a bit overkill. What do you think I should cut out, the Fertile CM? Just do the Soy and the Prenatal? Or should I get a simpler Prenatal?

We have heard of the Instead cup method are a def going to try it. Seems less messy (ew, ew don't think about it, don't think about it )

Now all I need is for AF to show up on time this month...grrr. I read that walking helps but it is so freaking hot in Houston! I am only on CD 23 so I need to just calm down. I just wanna get on with it!

Thanks again everyone and baby dust to you all!!

 

[poppy666]

Yes cut the fertileCM out and just take your prenatals and Soy lol too much there x

I guess I was trying to be an overachiever! Thanks again

 

[poppy666]

Less is more you be ok without x

 

[debzie]

Hello All just thought I would check in, for the newbies the cycle I got my bfp I was just taking prenatal vits and the soy CD 3-7. 160mg first three nights then upped it to 200mg the last two. That cycle I got really bad headaches and night sweats so I knew it was working. x Oh and we also used preseed but not regularly just the day or so before ov. Forgot about that.

Katesmithers I agree with Poppy just stick to the soy and the prenatals it was a winning combination for me. Good luck sweetie.

 

[Jaz78]

thanks for all the welcomes!!

mummytolly - im not sure how much and when i'll take it yet. Probably CD3-7. Might depend on what quantity it comes in when I buy it. I hope to get out today or tomorrow and see if i can find some at the local pharmacy. 16 weeks since last AF is horrible, you poor thing. Are you about to try soy for the first time too?

elliots.mum - did you buy this one?
NAME=SOY-ISOFLAVONES-500mg-60-Capsules (ahhh wont let me post the link)
how many do you take? did they take long to deliver? thanks

hi jaz yes thats the one that i brought and it was shipped the same day that i paid for it... took 3 business days to get to me (i live in whoop whoop though) if your from sydney i think they let you pick them up from hurstville... they also give an option for express post
i took 6 tablets to get 150mg (cd4-6) and then 7 tablets to get 175mg (cd7-8) just for an extra kicker and am on day14 and its definatly working... i have noticed a massive increase in ewcm which normally i dont get....

 

[Miss Redknob]

I will be taking SI in Oct, but was wondering is it ok to take Elevit, Folic 500mcg & Cartia (baby aspirin) with SI? My FS put me on the Folic 500mcg and my GP put me on Cartia to see if it would help the little eggie stick. I will be taking Clexane 40mg injections once pregnant and will stop the Cartia...

 

[Crystal94560]

Well ladies I'm on cd 9 and today is my 4th (and last) day on soy. I just took an opk for curiousity sake and I'm pretty impressed with how dark the test line is already. It's definatly not positive...but mine are usually very light at 9 dpo.

This ended up being my schedule.
Cd 6 - 170 mg
Cd 7 - 204 mg
Cd 8 - 204 mg
Cd 9 - 238 mg

I staggered the pills through out the day to help mimic a more natural constant level. Hopefully it works!

 

[August79]

Fingers X'ed for you Crystal! Have you had any side effects? I get headaches and maybe a bit moody. It's nothing too terrible though

Thats good about the opk.... mine are still really light, I'm cd 10 I think... but then I had a 50 day cycle last time so Good luck with your cycle

Sorry to jump in
So far I got really bad headaches.... tingly bobbies... still are a bit funny you should say moody actually because I have been moooo oooo ooody!! and had cramps and backache its weird because I've felt a bit pms lol good luck with your cycle

 

[PocoHR]

Hey All, I just took my second dose of soy last night (it was on CD 6). I was on the fence about doing it again, but doing it at night seems to elimate the side effects, although I had a headache today that might have been attributable to the soy. I am going to do OPKs this month... so we shall see! I was really sweaty and warm last night too, so maybe that was a good side effect!!

 

[mummytolily]

hi ya,
Jaz78, thanks and yea 16 weeks was far too long. This is my first time on soya and pretty excited if it works like clomid
Wow beautulD and pocohr and august 79 its sounds like its working , is this you first cycles as well?
Does any one on here have problems with ovulating normally?
And has there been any twin pregnancys using soya that ya know off?
