Soy Isoflavones! Natures Clomid!

[Diddums]

Congrats brownie do you mind me asking how long you had been trying? Xx

I also took the Tesco brand... Everyone just takes what they feel comfortable with i think, i took 160mg's then 200mg's last 2 days and i'll admit i shit myself taking them but it worked twice for me. Took them before i went to bed all at once with a slice of bread to get them down lol

Good luck sweetie, and baby dust to everyone else

Thank you poppy. I'm so pleased it worked for you. Did it work on the 1st month of taking them for you?
I'm nervous about taking them but i think thats cos i want it work. My doctor has told me to take 75mg of aspirin a day as suffer from miscarriages do you know if this is still ok to take with soy? I've decided to split the tablets up through out the day so its not so much to take if one go xx

Yes worked both times taking the first month, but i suffered a missed miscarriage at 9wks with first one. Can not advice with Aspirin because there is good and bad points taking it with what ive read over time on this forum

If you can id try taking them all the same time of day like everyone else, i know they like horse tablets lol i use to take one with water and eat a bit of bread to help it down then take next one.

Diddums - I went off the pill April 2011 but didn't get AF till Sept. Then they came every 50 days or so.
1st cycle on soy it shortened my cycle to 38 days and I did NOT ovulate.
2nd cycle I ovulated on CD 19 and got my BFP at 10 DPO

 

[Diddums]

Thanks brownie I'm waitin for this cycle to end then might try a cycle of soy depending on what my specialist says in two weeks x

 

[hopefulmom2]

I had a 30 day cycle, opk said I ovulated cd20. Not sure what my cycles were before, never charted. Wanting to do a little more charting and keep track of my cycles and in the meantime if it happens and I get a bfp then will be more than happy.

congrats to all the BFP ladies and Babydust to all!!

Last day of soy , now to wait on ovulation & get busy making our baby .

Good luck girls.

 

[RAFCHICK541]

It's been a while since I last posted, we took a couple of cycles off due to many months of disappointments followed by a chemical which feels like a cruel joke on the part of mother nature!! Bitch!!!! But now I'm back in full ttc mode now and I've got a plan - LOL

Started my soy this evening, I'm doing CD3-5 this time, b100 complex, charting my but and I also ordered some conceive plus as my cm is virtually none existent and I want to make sure those have something to swim in!

FX'd for all the ladies here and to you

rafchick ~ ive not been on either but back this month,took soya but missed a couple of days,had stretchy cm cd 11and dtd and last night had 2 lines on opk but not positive but getting there just now got my peak on fertility moniter which is cd 12 so bang on time, will prob get my positive opk this afternoon,i have got positive opks on cd 13 for last 3 months,so will jump on hubby when he wakes as he has been on nights lol.

shellie ~ hope we both get our this month,i just got my peak on cbfm

hopefulmom2 ~ goodluck hun

brownie ~ congrats hun

chan ~ you may find you have stronger ov pains so don't worry its normal,i didnt used to get pains but since taking soya i get ov cramps

poppy ~ did they work for you 1st month hun

 

[hopefulmom2]

Soy shortened my cycle to 30 days. AF is still here spotting though. I dont mind the 30 days cycle just my AF came earlier than expected. Took 120mg of Soy on CD2 and CD3, and the plan is for CD4 140mg, CD5 160mg, CD6 200mg, will see what that does.

FX for BFP's soon ladies!!! Babydust to all!!!

 

[chan1983]

So how is everyone getting on? I am now on cd4 and have started soy this month and its my third day of taking soy. I've decided to take 160mg on cd2 - 4 and then 200mg on cd5 - 6. I have been feeling fine but suffering from hot flushes which is good as i suffered with them on Clomid and Tamoxifen. Starting to get very excited as cbfm will be asking for tests in 5 days so it will be nice to see when i do ovulate as normally i ovulate on cd18 - 19 so i'm hoping that i ovulate earlier.
I've also got a number of friends that are starting to take soy too so preying that we all get BFP's very soon as we all work together and work with have a fit, which will be funny to see. On the other hand if it all works out well for us then we will all be able to go on the same journey together.

Has anyone had any recent BFP's on soy? How much did you take?

Sending you all loads of baby dust xxx

 

[hopefulmom2]

Welcome chan, I took soy last cycle CD3-7 120 mg all 5 days. This cycle taking it CD2-6 starting with 120mg the first 2 nights, then increasing it 20 mg each night, CD2 and 3 was 120mg, CD4 140mg, CD5 160mg and tomorrow night 200mg. I havent gotten a bfp but having awful side pain in the right side. Really not sure what it is, if it continues a few more days might have to see a dr.

Good luck and Baby dust sent your way!!!

 

[chan1983]

Thank you hopefulmom2. Could it be pains to say the soya is working? I've had some pains on my left and right side but its started to fade so i think its the soya as i have had the pains with clomid and tamoxifen and was advised by the doctor its that med as its working and my body had to get use to it. You must be one day ahead of me in your cycle? I'm now on cd5 so taking 200mg today and tomorrow. How long are your cycles normally? Mine can be from 28 to 32 days. Can't wait to see my peak on cbfm just hope i don't have to wait long xx

 

[alin3boys]

Hi ladies

hopefulemom2 ~ the pains will be from the soya as it give you a stronger ovulation,its completely normal i even had to take pain killers for mine as don't normally suffer with ov cramping

chan ~ hope the soya gives you an earlier ovulation

as for me i am on cd 14 and got my peak on cbfm yesterday and a positive opk so was expecting a high on the moniter as usually get a peak,2 highs and then back to low but i got another peak is this normal.

 

[hopefulmom2]

I missed taking Soy last night so will take my CD6 tonight and take another one the next night of 200mg. hope it wont mess it up too much. I had a 37 day cycle the first cycle off NuvaRing, then a 30 day cycle after that. not really sure how long it will be this cycle.

The pains come and go and last for weeks, hope its the Soy working. I will take Soy for 2 more cycles then take it as ntnp for awhile. I will still temp and use opk as I need to track ovulation pattern.

good luck ladies!!

 

[shellie31]

Ali. It is normal to get 2 peak days, a high then a low, it's what it's programmed to do . I never feed it any more test sticks after i get my peak cos of this, i learnt this on the CBFM thread .

Meant to say that when i take soy i get VERY strong pains in my ovary areas so this is just the soy preparing to pop out an egg or two , i wouldn't worry about it

Welcome to the new girls & FX for some soy BFP's.

 

[alin3boys]

ive used the moniter twice before to concieve and only ever get 1 peak and i concieved both times

 

[shellie31]

Ali, d'you still keep giving it test sticks after you get the 1st peak? Just wondered cos i know it's definately programmed to give 2 peaks, high then back to low . Mine used to just jump from low to peak . When i take soy i get high days like i did this morning CD9 , time to get busy .

Babydust to all the soy girls

 

[alin3boys]

Yes i carry on untill it goes back to high, ive alway had 1 peak and then 2 highs and then back to lows,its 1st time ive ever got 2 peaks

 

[shellie31]

Weird . Mind you everyones monitor works by there hormones, can't explain it any other way . I read the whole CBFM thread & learnt about how it was programmed & not to feed it more sticks after peak. Maybe you've popped out 2 eggs .
Hope your busy & baby dust to all of us soy girls.

 

[chan1983]

Well tomorrow should be first day i start using my cbfm as i'll be on cd 9 so i can't wait to see what i get. Get some sharp pains on either side so i guess it working. Well how is everyone else getting on at the moment? Xx
