Going to keep this rather short and sweet.
Soya Isoflavones are a natural alternative to Clomid.
Soya Isoflavones are commonly referred to as SI.
Soya Isoflavones are not for everyone, in fact if you have a regular cycle you should not try SI.
If you have been on Clomid (for example 50mg) you should double the dosage for SI (You'd be taking 100mg)
The maximum dose of Soya Isoflavones you can take per day is 200mg.
You only take Soya Isoflavones for a maximum of 5 days early into your cycle. This might be days 1-5, 2-6, 3-7 etc. The latest you may start taking Soya Isoflavones is CD5. Taking it longer than 5 days will have negative effects on your Fertility.
*Always* consult your doctor before taking any new medications.
When to take SI?
You take Soy Isoflavones, like Clomid, on either CD 1-5 , 2-6, 3-7 , 4-8 or 5-9.
If you take soy Isoflavones during the later time bracket, for example CD5-9, you shall strengthen the egg that has already started growing producing a healthier egg. The earlier in your cycle you take It, the higher your chance of releasing multiple eggs but these eggs will not be as mature as the eggs grown from taking Soya later.
A lot of women will choose the middle cycle (3 -7) allowing time for a strong and healthy egg to develop without erasing the chance of a second egg being developed and released.
Which days are better?
1-5 = you produce more eggs, and ovulate sooner, with a stronger ovulation.
2-6 = you produce more eggs that usual, but not as many as taking it 1-5. Eggs may be more mature, and ovulation will be slightly more strong than 1-5.
3-7 = The best of both worlds, a few more eggs, and all eggs will be strong & mature, and ovulation will be alot stronger than 1-5.
4-8 = No more eggs will be produced, but the ones already there, will be matured alot more than usual, and ovulation will be very strong. Ovulation may only be brought forward a teeny bit.
5-9 = You'll have one very mature strong egg, from the ones you already produced on your own. Ovulation will either happen when it usually does, or a few days later, but your egg will be of great quality.
Whilst there hasn't been any research regarding dosage and whether to keep the dosage consistent (just like you would Clomid), or to increase the dosage daily on this particular thread, women are having more luck with increasing dosages. This is a rather small study, with only minimal amount of data. Obviously any data collected regarding Soya Isoflavones dosages do not take things like Male Factor Infertility into consideration.
Soya helps you Ovulate, it stimulates your ovaries. Therefore if you are struggling with Male Factor Infertility the success rates may well be lower.
Please see your Fertility Specialist and or Doctor for more information.
This is my first cycle on Soya Isoflavones, I took 200mg on Days 3-7, taking 5 x 40mg tablets each day. I have not been on any fertility drugs such as clomid before.
I ovulate normally but want good egg quality for a strong ovulation and a strong sticky bean.

My LP is very short and my doctor doesn't want to try any kind of medication but said if I wanted she wouldn't mind me trying SI so that's the plan!
I think I should discard last nights +, I wouldn't usually ovulate this early. I meant to temp this morning but I've slowly lost the will. 
fingers crossed! What CD are you on now?
really hate taking pills, but if it helps, hey!!
so really have a good feeling about this month. Ordered my opk's today online, hopefully should get them by Thursday which will be cd10 for me which is when I will start testing. Opk's have never really worked for me before but I'm gonna give it a go this cycle. Will also be using Natural progesterone cream an B6 from 3dpo to try and enhance my LP. Had a 9dpo LP last cycle for the first time ever so wanna be prepared this time round!
hehe
Welcome! Haha you are so lucky you are at 1dpo and not still waiting to O!
Woo hoo! I didn't realise you did SI too! Is this your first cycle on it?
