Soy Isoflavones! Natures Clomid!

[Hann12]

Thanks Vic, I hope so. I'm now getting low cramps so really have no clue - feels like AF is on the way which is weird as I'm only CD 20. But who knows!!
I know one dip is possible but didn't know 2 were. Ah well time will tell! I need to stop obsessing lol!!

Quick question...
I have been getting waves of nausea all day, and the smell of food is making it worse. I thought I ovulated just over a week ago, so wouldn't this be too early for that? It's been 9 years since my son was born, and I didn't have any symptoms at all with him (didn't even know until about 20 weeks).
Isn't it too soon for me to have "morning sickness"??
I'm currently on cd23.

I missed 2 periods before realizing I was pg, but I do remember having sore breasts and they were very tender, and feeling tired all the time, and running to the bathroom every 2 minutes. I was 12 weeks when I finally tested at home with an expired test so I didnt believe it, went to a crisis center and they did one and it came up positive. I thought I had a bladder infection so went to the hospital and they also did one, plus I did have a bladder infection and was pregnant. I remember feeling like I was going to get sick but never did get sick.

hope you get bfps soon, Baby dust sent to all!!

Hi ladies,

Has anyone using SI had hair loss as a side effects?

I've tried SI 3 times previously (feb, march & may) and don't remember anything like this, but this try I am losing enough to make me worry.

Hey
Oh thats a little worryin no iv not had any hair loss. Dont think iv heard if other havin it either
Vic x

I've had the opposite. I normally lose a lot of hair on a regular basis, and lately I haven't been losing much at all. I'm in my TWW and yesterday I had to very light brownish-pinkish spotting (just a tiny bit, the size of a penny). It went away and I have no idea what that was about. No cramps, doesn't feel like AF, and I'm back to having more CM than usual. Just sitting here waiting to see what happens, and I'm getting anxious about it! What if that IS af and the SI didn't work? It's only my first cycle on SI and because it's been over 8 years, I'm TERRIFIED of getting a BFN!! I don't even want to test at all! When I passed by the tests at the store the other day, I was afraid to even look at them on the store shelf. I just don't want to be let down again! I think I've been worrying myself sick over here.

Hope everyone is doing well.

 

[MyMiniMonk]

I'm great but impatient over here. I love your profile pic Krissie!
How are you doing?

 

[krissie328]

Thanks!!

I am okay. AF refuses to come so I am going to the RE on August 13. I am thinking about asking about Clomid for this coming cycle. I am just so frustrated with being so out of whack.

Not been on a while - computer problems grr!

Now onto my 3rd cycle with Soy - I am confused - I have tablets here that say 100mg of soy extract of which 40mg are soy isoflavones...so do I go by the 40mg???

I had other tablets for this month but if I am not pg then I need new ones...and I picked these up without looking at them...

 

[Diddums]

Spero I believe you go by the soy isoflavone content therefore 40mg. My bitch of a cycle finally ended with provera at 196 days!

Will be trying 200mg days 3-7 feeling slightly optimistic for the first time in a while x

 

[Just_married]

Just an update from me, 4 th time using soy and it didn't work. I usually ov cd13 & have 26 day cycle, this time I ovd on cd16 & had a 29 day cycle so it lengthened it.
It also made me lose hair & gave me hot flushes.
Won't be trying it again as it obviously doesn't work for me. Onto different methods now, baby aspirin & coenzyme q10.

 

[Spero]

Well the soy did the trick - 3rd cycle using it and BFP I am still in shock!! Been ttc since December.

Hospital have put me on progesterone pessaries and a whole heap of other meds but Soy def did the trick for me

 

[poppy666]

Congratz sweetie

 

[hopefulmom2]

Congrats Spero, i stopped using soy after May cycle...Didnt continue it for June and so on. I ovulated early on my own and not really sure I want to have another one yet. The right person for me is out there and until I find him, I will lay low on trying. The guy I am dating now has a son and possibly another son from a different woman, thats alot to handle but hes good with my daughter, and we are happy.

Hope everyone had a great weekend...

Hey ladies! I just joined this site after finding this topic when searching Soy on Google

My husband and I are currently TTC #3 and after an early miscarriage last month and no luck this month (so far!), I want to try Soy with my next cycle.

I bought some pre-seed and have my Soy waiting for me in the bathroom cabinet. (I bought the ones from Wal-Mart, Spring Valley 40mg)

I'm wondering the best days to take it? And how much? I have a pretty normal cycle (28-30 days), but I want to try for a really strong egg... maybe even 2!

 

[hopefulmom2]

Welcome JL, good luck with the Soy, as I said I took it and it helped detect exactly when I oed and brought on strong O symptoms. I stopped using it about 3 cycles ago due to lost my partner and didnt want to even think about trying again for a while. It did give me a 28-30 day cycle.

I took them days 3 through 7 starting with low dose and gradually working up doses, the other ladies here knows more than I do about it, they can fill you in alot better.

Sorry to hear that you're no longer with your partner

But thanks for the info! What doses did you take? Like did you start with 80mg and work your way up?

 

[hopefulmom2]

I did start at 2 pills, which they are the same as you have. I ended up taking 4 the last day. I dont think I ever maxed out on them though...I took them before bed with water and they did work for Me, I was able to pinpoint ovulation due to pains and positive opk. Its a long story but my partner ended up passing away with a massive heart attack and sad thing was I ovulated the day he passed.

Im ready to start new and find someone else so I can contintue my journey to finding the right one.

I would be very careful taking soy if you have regular cycles, it delayed my ovulation by over a week and caused per ovulation spotting. When I did ovulate I didn't produce a strong egg and therefore had not enough progesterone to support a pregnancy. Soy is estrogen, if you have enough estrogen then it can cause an estrogen dominance which can mean you have too much and not enough progesterone to balance it out.
I know it works for many people but it tends to be better for the people that aren't ovulating regularly or at all. I just wanted you to know this before you ho ahead, I wish someone had told me because I wasted a long cycle trying it and it just messed with my hormonal balance.
