Soy Isoflavones??

[kerrbear7183]

I got worse hot flashes on clomid. The soy isn't too bad with me other than headaches while taking it now that I am done I just have some niggly twinges in my ovary areas.

I'm hoping that I don't have too bad of side effects when I start Clomid next cycle. Did you take the Clomid at night?

Hi ladies. Mind if I join your group? I ordered my soy isoflavones tablets yesterday. Waiting for AF (due tomorrow, got a bfn at 13dpo so sure I'm not preggars this cycle) and have decided to give the soy a whirl next cycle. Want AF to hurry up now so I can get on with it! I am going to read back through the thread in a bit as I need advice about how much to take / when etc. GL everyone x

 

[floatingbaby]

Yeah, I think I'm the same as you Kerr...I'll give Soy one more chance and if nothing then I'll try Clomid

Then we can be Clomid buddies!

Bump buddies would be WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY better

You are so right! Well, let's hope we both get BFPs this cycle. If not, then we can start as Clomid to bump buddies!

I'm in Nice temp spike by the way - what's going on there?!

I don't know about hot flashes but my head feels like i stuck it in an oven. Thank goodness it only lasts 20-30 mins. Today is cd5 3rd dose of soy @ 11pm. Been BD alot since we just got married 2 weeks ago.

It was super hot in my house that day. I didn't chart my temp from yesterday, but it went back down. I wish I was ovulating already, lol.

I took soy on CD3-7 last cycle and this one. I took 160mg CD3-5 and 200mg CD6 & 7. You should not exceed 200mg per dose. Some ladies start much lower than what I took. What you're looking for out of it would depend on what CDs to take it.

Hi ladies! May I join you? I just started taking soy last night. So far the side effects have been a little annoying. I ended up with an upset tummy and many trips to the restroom last night. But tonight has been much better. I'm taking 210mg. I wanted to do 200, but I could only find 30mg capsules. My midwife said 210 should be fine. I haven't O'd in 5 months because I took FertilAid and had a bad reaction, so I am really hoping soy will help. I just finished a round of Provera and (as of a couple hours ago) I am on CD5! So excited to be on a new cycle!! I have an appointment with the OB/Gyn on the 31st, so I may be switched to Clomid next cycle, but for now I am going with soy.

I will be starting soy on my next cycle if I am not preggars either. I plan on taking up to 200mg. The ones I have are 40mg. Here is what my friend did, so I thought I would try it too. Starting on CD3.
CD3- 80mg
CD4- 120mg
CD5- 160mg
CD6- 200mg
CD7- 200mg

Some ladies start on CD5-9.

GL and baby dust to you!

Sounds like a good plan!

Well, my hubby finally agreed to get his swimmers check if I don't get a bfp. My OB/GYN is changing office in one week, so I can't book an appointment just yet
Plus, we are flying home to visit our parents from Aug 1st - 9th. So it will have to wait after that. I just hope we get to see her before I ovulate.

That's good! GL to both of you. My husband worries there is something wrong with his swimmers. I keep trying to tell him it's not him. Really though, neither of us know if something is or isn't wrong. I just had him start zinc yesterday. Maybe that will help a little.

Thanks!
You never know until you test for it. I had a few tests done for me and everything is fine. Plus, I'm regular too. I did get pregnant but it was an ectopic pregnancy. So we wonder if his swimmers are either too weak or too few of them. There's only one way to find out.

 

[kerrbear7183]

Good luck Danielle! Glad to hear he agreed. I know that could be a sore subject for men.

Totally! It hit his pride lol.
Now, did anyone's partner had it done? He's a little bit worried about how it is done lol silly him. And I had a HSG done, seriously!

I am so sorry. I hope everything comes back normal for him.
I had blood work done to check my hormone levels, that all came back good. Other then that, I haven't had any other test done. I think I am to scared to find anything else out. About 6 months ago, my regular doctor asked if we were trying or using any protection and I told her no. She told me that if we were trying she would recommend me to a specialist because we have been NTNP for almost 3 years now. So because of that, I am to freaked out to get checked. Even though I know it would be better to know.

Danielle - my DH had his done a few weeks ago and count was good but motility was lower than normal and he has his second tomorrow morning lol

In the UK they don't have space at dr's offices for them to 'provide' the sample there, he has to do the deed in a pot (he says it's very off putting trying to aim it in a pot lol) at home, then screw the lid on and keep it warm (my cleavage does the job nicely lol) then i drive to the hospital and submit the sample to them with a questionnaire that he has to fill in about his recent sexual activity (be it with me or himself lol) we'll get the results in about a week.

Hope everyone is doing ok, i'm still popping to catch up on your all xx

 

[WannaSticky1]

Still no symptoms from me. Tomorrow is my last dose. Did 160 tonight, gonna do 200 tomorrow.

[WannaSticky1]

If I take opks twice a day(morning and night) what are the best times to take them? The most accurate times? I know a surge will generally show in the evening. About what time should I test though?

Yeah - just before bed I took it and I had hot flashes all night and throughout the day with each month getting progressively worse. Clomid didn't really agree with me. So far soy has been better.
