Soy Isoflavones! Natures Clomid!

[jessa_cole]

Does anyone know if there's a chewable/liquid version of soy isoflavones or a very small pill size version? I have a LOT of trouble swallowing pills and all the soy isoflavones I've seen are fairly large.

Hi jessa, the ones I took weren't so bad. Small veggie caps. Natures way is the brand. But they are a small dosage so I took three a day. Which was 120mg/day. I might up the dosage next cycle if I don't get my bfp. I haven't come across a liquid form yet. Except in soy milk but it's hard to know how much SI your actually getting. Hope this helps

hi..
yesterday i bought 1 bottle of soy isoflavone..
the bottle said:
"Non-GMO Soy Isoflavone dried extract (bean) 40% Isoflavones 100 mg./cap"

so it contain 40mg of soy isoflane per cap? because it said 40%isoflavones

Hello - I just want to report a soy success story, this is the first cycle that I've used soy and I got a !!! I am sure the soy contributed to this.

I am 39 with diminished ovarian reserve, and we'd been TTC for a year (4mths since a loss). We had tried Clomid last month but I overresponded and it thinned my lining, so the clinic were not going to put me on any more clomid; we were due to move on to IVF very soon. This was a month for some testing before IVF, so I thought let's try soy!

I took soy on CD3-7: CD3-5 160mg, CD6-7 200mg. This is a higher-end dosage (as I had been put on 100mg clomid rather than 50mg), so consider whether you would prefer a lower dose. I took them all at once before bed, I had no side effects. I use the Clearblue Monitor and was only getting 'lows', so I was really worried that I wouldn't ov at all, but on CD19 it went straight to 'peak', so I think I ov'd on CD20.

This cycle I also used maca (1tsp on non-soy days, stop at BFP), Clearblue Monitor, Softcups and the Sperm Meets Egg Plan.

Thanks to all the wonderful women on the soy thread for your advice and support! Lots of good luck and to everyone!!! xxx

Congrats Cypress!

Hi Everyone, I took soy this cycle from days 3-7. 80mg, 120mg, 160mg, 120mg, 120mg (cos I got scared I was taking too much lol, there wasn't really any reason to think that but I just got cold feet, it took willpower to take the last 120mg). Anyway I was wondering if its affected anyones CM? Mine has remained dry and sometimes creamy but mostly dry and I wonder if this means OV will be delayed of if I'm going to OV without fertile CM. There was a bit of ECWM but so tiny yesterday and today is only a little bit creamy but usually I would be very wet around now.

So basically does Soy delay OV or reduce/affect cm?

My secong cycle with soy i did not have much cm so used preseed.

Congrats Cypress, it is absolutely amazing to hear that their is still hope, this TTC is getting to much at times and hearing about a BFP is an inspiration.

Loads of happy PG moments and a healthy 9 months lies ahead of you

Really random question but I have no one else to ask! I took soy cd4-8, and I'm in my last week before AF is due. Did soy make anyones areola and nipples like really huge all of a sudden? Only noticed it 3 days ago, they look really strange (I've small boobs anyway).

Thanks
