OMG minky--congrats--fab news on XMAS day---wey hey.........how much soy did u take again??? many many congrats.............xxxxxxxxxx

Thank you soooo much, my sweet. I wrote down my soya dosage above this post in the reply to Irish_eyes. I think that soya is miraculous, but I've also been seeing this amazing acupuncturist who really helped me to relax and who worked on balancing my cycle. Also, B-complex (B100) has definitely improved my luteal phase, while Preseed gave DH's little swimmers a bit of a boost on their long journey.

I really hope you will be with me soon too.

Ah Minky, Congratulations, fantastic news indeed. What a wonderful start to the new year for you. Thanks for telling us what you did to help it along. Happy New Year!

I got a positive OPK this afternoon, so it looks like soy neither improved or harmed my cycle.

Probably won't take it next cycle - think I'll give Agnus Castus a go.

Hi ladies. Minky a big CONGRATS to you!!! Soy Iso did not work for me though. This was my second cycle using it, but I guess my infertility is a bit much more invasive. I am now rearing up for IUI w/ Gonadotropins ($2000). I have seen a specialist that seems hopeful due to my age. So this cycle I am not doing anything extra, and hopefully the New Year will bring good news. If anyone know or has any info on IUI...it would be greatly appreciated as I am somewhat new to this.

CONGRATULATIONS Minky on your special xmas present. I'm so pleased for you

 

[MrsHowley81]

So my second month on soy has failed and I am giving up, Had my first lot of bloods done today so we may have to go down another route, would of been nice to of been able to have a baby with the help of soy but at least we will get some answers and then be able to get treatment if necessary I may do one more month as most things take 3 attempts before working well that's my idea and I'm sticking to it
I just hope for you girls soy is the answer and you get your Bfp's very soon

Took 80 mg a day, days 1-5. Now just have to do the necessary and wait and see! Definately going to try minky's recipe for success next month if this doesn't work! Babydust to all xx

I hope it works out for you too, Nelly! For me, it seems that doing several positive things simultaneously (soya, b-vits, acupuncture, EPO, Preseed) not only helped me to get pregnant, but also gave me this weird serene confidence that I didn't have before. I wonder if that was what made the biggest difference compared to past cycles.

to all...

To Hoping, Gill, Brillbride, Poppy, Irisheyes and all the other girls who left lovely messages for me. I really appreciated your comments and felt so privileged that I was able to share our good news with you.

It's a relief to share our little secret as we're not going to tell 'the world' until we see our baby at the 12 week scan. FX, hoping and praying XXXX

All my POAS tests are very dark at 17dpo, my initial symptoms are still there with knobs on - at this stage, I'm pretty certain that this is not a chemical pregnancy like last time! We've passed the first hurdle...

 

[Irish_eyes]

Well, I have finished taking my soy this month.
I took 160mg from CD2-4 and 200mg from CD5-6.
Fingers X'd it has helped.

Minky, you are very welcomed and so happy for you that things are going well.
Take good care of yourself....do you have a journal so that we can stalk?

xxxxx

Hi! I found this thread doing a google search and stayed up way too late reading through everything. You have a wonderful and supportive group here and it is very encouraging to see the success many are having! I hope you don't mind if I ask a few questions, as I started with soy on CD3, now on CD5. I am taking 120mg. I'm also taking B6 with my prenatal vits.

First, is it normal to feel slightly crampy right now? I have a slight bit of spotting which is probably from AF, and would normally be gone by today or tomorrow. I'm much less worried about the spotting as I am the cramps. I don't normally even get cramps with AF, but these are VERY very mild.

Also, should I be taking the B6 now or later? It made me wonder when I saw the last couple of questions on the poll.

Thanks, ladies!

Hi kaleigh

Realise it's been quiet here the last couple of days, so thought I'd pop by and answer your question. Slight cramps are fairly normal with soya, other girls have reported them and I definitely got a few and felt a bit weird on the 5 days I took the soya. You might also experience some ovulation pain - girls report tweaking and pinching sensations.

I also took B-vitamins, but in a B-complex (B50 or B100) rather than just B6 alone, as taking excessive amounts of one single B-vitamin can cause deficiencies in other B-vits. You can take it throughout your cycle, though it is recommended that you take a few days break a month at around the time your period starts.

I hope that's helpful. Good luck TTC. Hope the soya works for you!

Minky X

Hi everyone!

Kaleigh, like you i just started taking soy! Took my first dose (50 mg) this evening, so excited! Don't know anything about symptoms yet though... I think you can have a bit more cramping cos your supposed to produce better eggs Let's hope your ovaries are working already!

I also read through this whole topic! Read a lot of good news! Last one to get pregnant is minky i think, congratz! And poppy, sorry to hear about your loss... Good luck trying again!

We're in our 10th month of trying now... My BF is gonna have his sperm tested next week (still have to go to doctor though) and i was just thinking that these last 3 months before seeing an OB/GYN we'd try soy! Can't hurt i think! Also having BF take Vit C, Zinc and folic acid.. Hope it'll all help! This waiting is sooooooo long!
