Hello girls may I join your thread please?

I've been TTCing for about 2 years with one mc back in Aug 2009.
I have PCOS, and DH has some sperm issues.

I've tried Clomid for 7 cycles (of which 3 were with IUI) and one IVF with no luck, so am having a break from fertility docs.

I'm going to try Soy 100mg from CD4-8 and again on CD10, 12 and maybe 14.

I've tried 50mg Clomid and I ovulated fine, but when I tried 100mg, I ov'd late. So am sticking with 100mg Soy (equivalent to 50mg clomid).

The extra days are instead of FSH injections I took for the last few cycles. I think the shot was equivalent of 150mg Clomid, but to be safe, I'll keep with Soy 100mg.

Well that's the plan. Wish me luck!

Welcome quaver your plan sounds interesting. Do you think the extra days will stimulate your own fsh? To be honest I'm still learning about the whole hormone cycle. Good luck.

Just a quick question. Each cycle I can usually detect which side i will ovulate from having paon from cd 12 last cycle it eas my left yhe one before right. We this cycle its both. One day I get pains in my right then left. Do you think this cycle i have dominant folicles in both sides? Or am i just reading too much into my twinges. Hope everyone else is doing ok. X

I hope so anyway. It worked with other drugs, why not with Soy?

You could be aiming for a fraternal twins

Thanks Debzie, your not wrong there, there is virtually nothing in Australia. I tried Amazon but it won't allow me to buy. Though I found that ebay and iherb maybe able to help. Wish me luck!!!

 

[Twinkle_star]

who hoo for ovulation harri good luck in catching that egg.

Twinkle I would take it that the soy isoflavones are just 25mg but with the other ingredients you risk overdosing on them to get enough soy iso. Betheny may be able to offer more advice but I know it is hard to come by in aus, ladies usually have to go with amazon. x x

Why not start taking them on CD5-9? That way I don't think you'll o at CD10?
Not sure though, but what do you reckon?

I was worried if I take them late I my body will still O early so will miss the effects of the soy?

If the soy made my O earlier would that make LP longer do you reckon, or just cycle shorter? x

I know when i took the soy last time on cd3-7 i ov'd on cd10 too but got my bfp

How long are your cycles normally? I wish mine made up their mind, theyre getting shorter and shorter, would just like to know what to expect but each month I think it cant get shorter and it suprises me

 

[poppy666]

I just added my chart to last post, but it was my first af after my miscarriage, usual length was 28 days, but with the pregnancy i lost i ov'd on cd18 on soy.

 

[biliboi2]

I took soy cd 3 - 7 and FF gave me cross hairs on cd11 which I thought was early. My previous cycle was 92 days!

 

[StayPositive2]

im taking them cd3-cd7 probably 200mg for all 5 days, i tried it before i did cd3-cd7 gradually increasing 40mg-120mg and i didnt notice a difference. so hopefully the higher does will do something this cycle. im cd2 today. so i will be starting them tomorrow

 

[debzie]

Good luck to all starting soy this cycle. Well my opks ate stark white today having been geyting darker up until friday where it was all but positive.had one fri evening with a sliver of a ne about as dark as the control. This is way early for me to ovulate and i had none pf yhe other ov signs really think my body is just having a laugh. Will see what my temps do.
