Thanks guys, Im heading off to Tescos now but doubt very much they have what Im looking for. Their medicines selection is tiny! Think this could be a north of the border job. Anyone find any of the right stuff online? If I could order it somewhere that would be good. Now to find the receipt and hope Holland and Barrett take some of this stuff back !! Into the bin I go...!!!!

heehee I'm always having to do that!

 

[GillAwaiting]

Many thanks guys. Poppy thanks for the links, I will get to work on those ASAP!! Went up to Tesco. No luck. Did get another cough bottle though (guafinesin) and more opk's. Oh I found the receipt for Holland & Barrett in the bin. This baby making stuff is a full time job

Seriously thanks again everybody. My poor dh thinks I've gone mental and it's good to know there are other women out there on the same track (even if it does lead to the asylum).

Sleep tight!

Hi Feelcrazy

Which brand of pills are you taking? What information does it have on the box/jar about the amount of soya isoflavones in each pill?

 

[minkysouth1]

heehee I'm always having to do that!

I know the feeling. I've got a whole stack of abandoned pill bottles! Does your Dolland and Barrett not stock soya isoflavones as a separate product, GillAwaiting? You should be able to exchange that for your other dodgy pills. I bought some from there, although the soya isoflavones dosage is relatively low (23mg), so you need to take 4 to 6 to get a decent effect. On the plus side, there are 120 pills in the jar, so running out won't be a problem.

Also, there's Tesco online delivery, if you need to get a shop in!

Hi ladies.

I hope you dont mind me crashing your thread.

Im not completely out this month, but Im 11dpo, and just had my 3rd negaive test, and also a drop in my temps.
I O'd on cd18 this month, so I thought Id try soy isoflavones. Ive just been to tescos, and the only tablets with the soy iso's in were Vitabiotics Menapace tablets. Will these do? They only have 20mg of soy in, so I know I will need to take a few, but I didnt know if they were ok to take, and how many I should be taking.

Any advice for me would be gratefully accepted.

Good luck girls x

 

[Feelcrazy]

so I've been taking a load of them!!! Is that ok?!

I'm getting very lotiony cm since I started them... Normal?

I didn't want to leave you hanging on, so I thought I'd share what I know / believe.

I've just looked up 'Phyto Soy' and they don't seem to have anything but the soya isoflavones in them, which is a good sign. I wouldn't have thought there was any harm in taking a handful of these together judging by the ingredients list. Maybe some of the other girls could look Phyto Soy up too and give a second opinion? How many are you taking? People seem to recommend gradually increasing your dose over the 5 day 'course' - I'm going from 92 mg (days 1 & 2) to 120 mg (days 3 & 4) to 160 mg (day 5).

Not sure about the cm - I'm only on CD 6 at the moment and it's too early to tell in my case. I read somewhere on the thread that Soya Isoflavones may affect the consistency of your cm, so some girls combine them with EPO to help create EWCM or use a sperm-friendly lube like Preseed.

I hope that's helpful.

Good luck and

Minky X

Hi loolindley

I've just looked up the ingredients of Menapace and it's a long list! My instinct tells me that you'd be better searching around for pure soya isoflavones rather than taking a product with so many other ingredients. I don't think these pills would harm you if only taken for a few days (the B vits are helpful to reproductive health, for instance), but it wouldn't be the ideal. If you need to start straightaway to spark up those ovaries, this brand is certainly better than nothing. However, if you've got time to shop around and your local Tesco's is too small to stock their 40mg Soya Isoflavones, you could visit Holland and Barrett instead and pick up their brand. It only has 23mg of Soya Iso per tablet, but without all the added extras, so it is ok to take it in larger quantities.

Hope that helps,

Minky
