Soy Isoflavones! Natures Clomid!

[prettymachine]

Also, does anyone know how many cycles it's safe to be on soy. I know on clomid they want you to take a break after a certian amout of time...

im not sure about your clotting/spotting... i know i had this sometimes before i ever took soy... it usually seemed like for no reason.

i have heard no more than 2 months in a row of soy.

Hi ladies......Jaz your chart already looks better than last cycle Are you doing vaginal temps? I found it made my charts much smoother.

Anyway obviously I haven't been able to take soy with having the MC and D&C on 18th June so we were having a cycle of not really trying too hard but not preventing. I am in complete and utter shock as got a BFP yesterday at 9dpo I'm really worried as had no AF, this is my D&C cycle. Just praying this one sticks

congrats!! thats fabulous!! one of my mates had a m/c and then another bfp straight after and now has a gorgeous 1yo girl!! My fingers are crossed that things go the same way for you!!!

And not doing vaginal temps... too ick for me!! from next cycle, i am going to make sure i take it at the same time every day though. is just hard to do this with a bub as she gets up at all different times and im sleep deprived enough as it is without waking up extra early to take temp! My chart does look much more awesome now. If only i had been able to BD at the right time this cycle, i'd be feeling pretty hopeful right about now!!

wow only 2 months? Does anyone know why only 2 months?

 

[gardenofedens]

Well I can't imagine it's terribly healthy to trick your body into creating more estrogen....?

wow only 2 months? Does anyone know why only 2 months?

i havent read up on it in about 9 months, and now i have pregnancy brain, but i am pretty sure it was because the high levels of estrogen that would build up after that could cause cysts and such which could cause miscarriages if you were to get pregnant. so i think you wait a few months for it to clear your system and then you can go for 2 months again.

How long do people take clomid for? I thought that was about 3 cycles at a time? I plan on copying whatever that is. Must ask some of my mates that have used clomid.

Anyway, I am on 13DPO, CD28. Very exciting for me to have a normal length cycle. I have felt very nauseous and hungry for last 5 or so days now... much like i did when i was UTD. Anyone else feel this way when in LP with soy? I dont believe I have any chance of being UTD so i dont think its because of this. Plus, i think i feel AF coming. I am very excited about next cycle now i know soy works for me!!

im not too familiar with clomid, except what i have read about it on here! i hadnt heard of it until recently. fingers crossed you dont need it that many cycles

nauseous and hungry at the same time sound like half my pregnancy... maybe there is a small chance for you?? i definitely felt AF coming on my + cycle lol... i just KNEW i couldnt be pregnant because i was so obvious about to start AF any second! lol. i was definitely wrong.

and if not, how nice for you your cycle is a normal length!!! before i started BC i would have some really long cycles... i hated it!

 

[gardenofedens]

Well, I'm probably freaking out for nothing but I am nonetheless. I have pretty regular cycles (29-30 days) and ovulate on CD13-16 according to my temps for the past 5 months. I'm on cycle 5 and was getting impatient, read all the great things about soy and decided to give it a go. I took 120mg on cd 6, 7, & 8 and then 160mg yesterday on cd9. Well, my temp dropped drastically on the third day of taking it but I thought it was because we slept with the windows open. Well, now FF is saying that I ovulated that day on CD8. Would it really bring ovulation ahead that much and does the fact that I kept taking the soy until yesterday mean I screwed the cycle up? UGH! Help!

 

[Glowstar]

You possibly haven't because looking at your May chart you had a big jump at 11dpo which you then discarded. It's prob just a surge of eostrogen are you doing OPK's too?? I have ovulated on CD10 on Soy twice so if I were you I would BD every other day just to cover all bases

 

[gardenofedens]

I discarded that one because we used the electric blanket that day and on the other days that have discarded temps...

 

[pdmcd17]

garden it could just be the weather my temps spiked this month due to the hot hot temps i used my other signs to help me also ff wont say you have ov till after 3 days of higher temps do you check other ways?

jaz utd? what does it mean pregnant or in nursing it means shots are up to date (im assuming you mean preg)

Yeah it sounds like my last pregnancy too and i thought exactly the same thing about AF when I got pregnant last time. When my temp was up again this morning, I actually did POAS. Negative. I'm 14DPO.

I'm not convinced by your chart that you have O'd yet....

Sorry, perhaps it is aussie slang?? UTD = up the duff = pregnant

Like i wrote above, I POAS this morning after my temp was up when i expected AF. this is exactly what happened when i got pregnant with #1 and how i first got my BFP so i couldnt help myself!! A BFN though. I'd expect AF tomorrow or I'd be doubting when ff said I O'd.

Hi Jaz - thanks for responding. Yea, my temp came back down a bit and though my temps are still wacky, I'm guessing it's from the addition of soy. I'm still wondering if I even should have started it but oh well, nothing I can do about it now! So now we just sit and wait and hope! Maybe I'll start doing OPKs...I haven't done them since my very first cycle but I still have some ICs left.....we'll see!

Hellooo,

Well I'm checking out of here I came off the pill in January, had AF in February and then nada. In June blood tests revealed I wasn't ovulating (no surprises lol) so I've been waiting for a referral to gynae. In the meantime I've been taking Soy Iso and hoping for the best and we got our BFP today! No idea when I ovulated as I gave up checking BBT and CM aaaaaaaages ago.

So hang on in there ladies and keep popping those pills, you never know what's in the pipeline x

 

[poppy666]

Congratz fluffette great news, happy and healthy 9mths

 

[Brynden]

Yay! Congrats fluffette!! H&H 9 Months! It's lovely to see more Soy BFP's in here

 

[Glowstar]

yay!!! that is absolutely awesome!!!!!!

I still have high temps and no AF. I removed a temp from ff as it was after only an hour's sleep so not reliable. anyway, now ff doesnt know when I O'd!! with my temps atm, im sure im in TWW and isnt such a bad thing to have O move. sucks that soy didnt bring it super forward but it was still earlier than usual. Plus i wasnt able to BD around what i thought had been O time but we did it plenty the following week so i'm still in with a chance!! if my temp is still up tomorrow, i might POAS again

 

[Crystal94560]

Got a + opk. I'm only cd 12!
