Soy Isoflavones! Natures Clomid!

[ann89]

I "don't" have a thyroid problem dr. says it's in the normal range but "low" normal range. So I'm guessing close to hypothyroid. But I guess I should stay away just in case.

Lol Well a lil about me, I am 25 OH is 26 nd we r ttc #6, r 2nd together biologically.This is r 9th cycle ttc. My 2nd using soy nd praying this is it!!!! We have never had a problem nd I have never had to "try" be 4. Since we have started trying we have had 1 chemical nd 2 EMC. Very heart breaking as I've never had either b4. hmmmm... Not real sure what else to add. I guess if u wanna kno jus ask lol.

Does soy increase the probability of multiple birth?

 

[Crystal94560]

hey ladies. Been awhile since I checked in. Just wanted to update. My super long cycle was dramaticly shortened my first month TTC with soy. I O'd on CD 19 and had a normal 14 day LP.
on to round 2!

Hi girls,
I just finished reading this post and would love to join in as Im on my first cycle of trying Soy. Today is CD 10 and have been feeling odd dull cramping around my uterus/ovary areas which I have heard is common with soy and hope that it means its doing something good!
I took the soy cd3-7
CD 3: 100
CD 4:150
CD5:175
CD6: 200
CD7: 200

I usually have 28/30 day cycles with ovulation usually occuring around cd 20 so my LP has been short since trying to conceive (this is mo 4). Last mo my Dr tested me and found that I had low progesterone and prescribed me prometrium however last mo it didnt look like I ovulated at all (I use dig clearblue OPK's) so I wasnt able to use the prometrium. So this month I am hoping that the Soy will bring my ovulation up and then I can take the prometrium during the LP...
Also I had a conception reading done by JennyRenny and she says I will get my BFP on July 29th with twins and my EDD would be April 6th which happens to be our 1yr wedding annaversary date...thought that was quite interesting... So fingers crossed she predicted accurate!
Its so nice having other girls that are going through the same thing and we can have a place to vent to Thanks ladies!!!
Good luck to all....

Hi! I just finished taking soy for the first time, I do have a question about dosage though...I bought this bottle of isoflavones https://www.vitaminshoppe.com/store...d=OXZFJ0CDJ30RUCTLKKEFAFQKNNJISUNE?id=VS-1595

And when i was looking at the supplement facts I figured 2 tablets was 110mg of soy and I took 2 tablets the first 3 days, 3 tablets the 4th day, and 4 tablets the 5th day. However looking at it again is it saying that 2 tablets is only 55mg of isoflavones? So did I not take a strong enough dosage for it to work? please help!!

 

[Kathy1978]

They say you should take double what you would take of Clomid so I think you usually take 50 or 100 of Clomid so taking anywhere between 100 and 200mg of Soy will work

 

[Crystal94560]

Is there any reason NOT to take soy on CD 1-5?

 

[Crystal94560]

took 170mg yesterday, uping it to 204mg today and tomorrow, then 234mg for the last two days... Ugh I already have a headache :-/

 

[chocbunni01]

hi ladies. im kind of nervous to take too much soy since ladies have mentioned headaches and mid cycle bleeds etc... i decided to try soy this cycle. cd 3 was 40mg, cd4-5 was 80mg. im thinking maybe cd 6-7 i will take 120 but im just such a wimp with the side effects. maybe if i wasnt under the weather already it really wouldnt scare me like that...

 

[Crystal94560]

I didn't really have any effects last cycle except a slight headache on the last day. I was taking over 200 mg. Everyone is different though
goodluck!

 

[Jaz78]

I think you are meant to take at least 80mg. My headaches werent that bad and they passed quickly. i found i only noticed them when i was doing nothing which isnt often so not really a problem!!

I took 150mg CD3-7. I think i O'd CD15-16 but my LP seems to be totally crap again. There is only really the one high temp and that doesnt really count as it was after only an hours sleep. I am not sure if i should try more next cycle? has anyone found that more soy has helped with their LP temps?

 

[prettymachine]

i took 110mg cd 2-6(same dose every day)... i only took it one cycle as i fell pregnant my first try, but i did notice my temps were LOWER that cycle then they were any cycle i WASNT pregnant.

 

[ann89]

I thought about taking soy last night.. when I spotted for 7 days. I was thinking maybe this is af just not in full force. But then I stopped myself and said I don't want to screw myself up more, when it's not time to take it.

So I decided once I have an all together normal cycle I'll try soy! I just can't wait for a normal cycle!

 

[lucyoz34]

I took soy this cycle for the first time, 120, 120, 160, 150, 200, days 3-7, and the only symptom I was aware of was a weird taste in my mouth. I Ov'd on cd13, am now 7dpo, with what feels like a normal cycle. It does seem to effect everyone differently.

 

[Jaz78]

i took 110mg cd 2-6(same dose every day)... i only took it one cycle as i fell pregnant my first try, but i did notice my temps were LOWER that cycle then they were any cycle i WASNT pregnant.

thanks! this actually sounds familiar now you have posted it. I think others may have had the same experience?

I had really painful stabbing pains this morning where i imagine my left ovary is. omg, i was worried! thankfully it only lasted about half an hour. reminded me of someone else in here (sorry, i have forgotten who) that it happened to as well. Bit worrying.

 

[prettymachine]

i got BAD pinching in my ovary... i thought there was no way i could be pregnant if my ovaries felt like they were ovulating all over again! i was wrong, of course lol. what CD are you?

 

[ann89]

So how many of you have used soy and got a bfp??
