So sorry for your loss, Debzie. I appreciate you sharing your soy experience. I see that it does work and I'm glad to hear that you are going to be using it again. After hearing all of you girls experiences with it, I am really excited to try it soon.

 

[debzie]

Thanks pregnant ladies.

Panda your welcome look forward to seeing you very soon.

hello to all the wonderful ladies on this thread! I am new here so I hope you dont mind that I join u. First off I want to send big hugs to you debzie! I am so sorry for your lost.

Well my short story is my and DH started TTC for #1 in Sept 2010, found out we were expecting in Feb 2011 and to our surprise identical twins!!! Sadly about 8 weeks along(end of March 2011) my little babies passed away One of the worst days of my life!! Decided to let them pass naturally, which took about 4 weeks. Got my 1st period at the end of May and have been TTC since.....feels like a never ending process. July marks my 3rd cycle since my miscarriage, on CD2 today. Been doing lots of research and I will be taking the soy on CD3-7, hoping for a BFP this month!! Sending lots of baby dust to everyone and lets make this month a GOOD one for us all!!!
Thanks for letting me share!

hi just after some advice

i had a mc nearly 3 weeks ago and still bleeding on and off i got pg on my 3rd round of clomid so have to go back to docs in september and he will refer me back to hospital... if they dont give me any clomid im considering the soy

i took clomid on days 2-6 50g so do i take the soy the same way and in the same strength?

 

[debzie]

Welcome babykiser and thanks for your kind words I too had a twin pregnancy that ended in miscarriage in november last yr I was10 weeks but they stopped growing around 8. Its devestating I know exactly how you feel so sorry for your losses. Hopefully soy will work first cycle. Good luck.

Hi susan123 soy is half the strength of clomid so you take double you would therefore have to take 100mg but it depends what dose soy you can find. Here in the uk most of us get it from tesco which are 40mg tablets thats what I have. Good luck hun and sorry for your loss. I am taking soy my first af following a miscarriage. X

Thanks debzie!! I am hoping for good things this cycle, today will be my first dose of soy, I am still not sure how much to take. I've read so many different ways to take it, any suggestions?

 

[Babykiser]

Also debzie it seems as if we are both on CD3 today! Maybe we can cheer each other on waiting for our BFP!!! Since my mmc my cycles have been about 30-35 days w/ O on CD 17, 18 or 19. I am excited to get back on the baby train! Sticky baby dust for us this month!

 

[debzie]

Sounds like a plan babykiser, I am taking the same dose as I did for my bfp cycle 160mg for the first 3 days then upping it to 200mg the last, just take what you are comfortable with chick. I take mine all at night to reduce the side effects. Main ones I have experienced is headache, hot flushes and nausea. Following the last mmc I was a 30-31 day cycle with ov on cd 17-19 too how very strange. Soy brought mine forward to cd 17 mind. I use opks and temp. I am going on hols on the 10th august so should ov while we are out in ibiza will try my best to check in hun and give some support. Good luck and some extra sticky baby dust for you too. x

 

[Babykiser]

Ok I will have to figure out what I want to do, but hopefully your plan works for you. I may try a small dose and increase everyday. I hope you have a good time while you are away! Good luck to u as well! I will be sure to post my hopefully sucessfully plan.

hi ladies, i havent posted in awhile. i took soy cd 3-7... instead of opk's i used bbt... anywho my last 3 cycles were 22,24,30.... today is cd 24 and im quite on edge... any little feeling or cramp down there im like oh boy, here she comes...

 

[Babykiser]

chocobunni, how much soy did you take during those days? and did you O sooner than expected or later? lastly have you tested yet or just waiting? sorry for so many questions, im new to the soy thing and this will be my first cycle trying it out. Well lots of baby dust to you and hope aunt flo doesnt show her face for atleast the next 9 months

 

[debzie]

Good luck cocobuni i was convinced af was on her eay ehen i got my bfp don't give up hope yet. X

 

[Babykiser]

So a quick update on me...yesterday I started taking the soy, I took 3 tablets which equal 120mg. I took them at 10pm last night and the only side effect I noticed was hot flashes. I was awake for a couple hours after I had taken the soy and I experienced nothing else, and the hot flashes did not last long at all. So at this point I am pretty excited and I can't wait to see whats to come. hopefully i will be posting a BFP in the next couple weeks!!

 

[beccad]

Good luck babykiser! I've read (parts of!) this thread with interest. There seems to be so many BFPs!

 

[Babykiser]

thanks beccad! I am hoping to be another successful soy user!

 

[poppy666]

Good luck ladies and dont be dis-hearted if first cycle it dont work, a lot of ladies got BFP on 2/3rd cycle

Hi Ladies-

Hope you don't mind me jumping in, but I would like to start taking Soy this month...I am really confused by the bottle I got as to how much I should take. This was the only kind I could find at the store:

Amount per serving:
Soy bean extract: 1000 mg (yes that's 1000)
Standardized to 2.5-3.5% [25-35 mg] isoflavones

There aren't any other ingredients...so my question is does that mean I should take 30 mg and multiply to get up to 80-100 mg of the isoflavones? So 3 pills a day? Why is the 1000 mg so high? Most of the other ones I have seen ladies post have been in the 400 mg range. I'm scared of taking way too much...can anyone help???
