Soya Isoflavones Cycle Buddies! <3

[Powell130]

I have a question for all ladies who have used SI before (this is my 1st cycle using SI):

When you O, are you ALWAYS going to feel cramps or some type of pain, as a for sure sign that you are O?

No. The ONLY sure fire way to know you have O'd is temping

 

[Dolphinleigh]

With the soy I felt a twinge in my left side for three-four weeks, without soy only felt it for a few days , my experience only

Wow! 3 to 4 weeks? Anything that stood on during O?

No, see my previous post asking for chart help, looks like I geared up 2-3timea ff says I oed on cd40, so I don't know if soy messed up my cycle or what, just waiting

 

[Dolphinleigh]

Can someone look at my chart, did soy first time this month, today ff put crosshairs at cd40, wth, did soy really f up my cycle (on cd43) cause I am completely lost trying to figure it out, ff had said cd15 but took the crosshairs away now with this temp today they come up cd40 as solid lines like seriously help me please

Re asking, really hope someone can see another ovulation time earlier then xd40

Hi Dolphin I could be wrong here but this is what I think could have happened:

I think you had O on cd15. I then think on the first day of your 3days of spotting you started a new cycle. In the new cycle you would have had O on cd14( which is showing as cd40 on your chart) and that you are now 5- 6dpo.

Fertility friend will only start u on a new cycle if u record at least a light bleed... Not sure how heavy your spotting was but I am guessing this is what has happened because your chart doesn't seem to make sense otherwise. But as I said this is just my opinion and I could be wrong! I am gonna go ahead and guess that your af/bfp will be due within a week.

Hope your cycle works itself out hun

Southernbound I am doing soy cd2- 6 this cycle. I am currently on cd4 so have another two days to go! It made me O 5 days early last cycle so gonna start bd early on Saturday! Also gonna be taking fish oil omega 3 and 6 as well as D3. Will u be doing anythin else different this cycle?

 

[Lost7]

Good luck ladies! Thinking of you all!

 

[magicalmom2be]

I thought taking SI this month would make me O sooner, but it turns out I O on CD18 (making it another 31 day cycle). Not a bad thing, but I don't think I'll be taking SI next month. I've seen a lot of people get BFPs with SI but MC. I wonder what the connection is.

 

[southernbound]

Hey tesh! I took myself off of the b complex this month. It just made me feel.... off. And I think it was a huge part of the O delay last month. Other than that doing everything the same we've definitely been baby dancing just in case! I had a temp spike today buuuut waiting to record it and see what tomorrow's temp is like because I was up a ton last night so it may be a fluke. If not though, awesome improvement on o day!! How's this cycle going for you?

 

[southernbound]

Also, magical, I always thought the same thing about a lot of miscarriages but I recently saw a study (dang I need to re find it) that basically found the same percentages of miscarriage in soy and non soy pregnancies.

Hi ladies,

Mind if I join you on your soy journey? I've started taking soy this cycle. I used it successfully when we conceived our daughter and that was my first cycle taking soy, so hoping that will give us luck this time too. I ovulate late and as I only stopped breastfeeding a week ago, before that my cycles were very irregular as well. I'm hoping with soy and stopping breastfeeding that everything will normalise a bit now. I'm on CD4 and on my third day of taking soy. I took 150mg the first two days and 200mg today, tomorrow and the day after. My temp is dropping fast, which I remember it doing before. Last time I ovulated on CD13 (down from CD25), so hoping for a repeat!

Ok so I havebitten the bullet and ordered Soy. I'm wondering a couple of things

Has soy actually had the opposite effect for anyone and totally messed up their cycle?

I still have hcg in my system. When they go negative do I class that as cd 1?

CD1 is always classed as your first day of red flow

I would usually- but I'm 10 days post a 15 week loss and my hpts are still positive so I'm really not sure as to when I would start the soy - is this cycle a no no in that case?

 

[Powell130]

Im so sorry for your loss but the same still applies for CD1.

Once your HCG drops to 0 , you'll most likely ovulate sometime after (not everyone O's right after a loss) and then you'll start a new cycle and can start soy.
You dont want to start soy midcycle because it can really mess things up because of the way it works. And remember, its only taken for 5 days at the beginning of your cycle

 

[LoraLoo]

Thank you for clarifying. I'll wait until next cycle then I know exactly where I'm at.

 

[Powell130]

Perfect idea! Do you know yet what CDs you're going to take it?

 

[squirrel.]

So sorry for your loss LoraLoo I hope this is the cycle you conceive your rainbow!

Has anyone else got painful breasts and nipples after using Soy? I'm only on my third day and they are more painful than usual for pre-af/early pregnancy and I'm not even in a part of my cycle where I usually get painful breasts. So this must be the soy! Don't remember getting any side effects last time.

 

[LoraLoo]

I have no idea! I read 3-7 is best is that when everyone else takes it? X

Thank you Tesh, I am getting ready to toss temping out the window along with ff, seems to Hess with my head a lot, so today might be 7 dpo, which do I shouldn't txt again for another 7 days, unless AF shows, but seriously, I am so emotional right now, it's not funny at all, eager to fibd out one way or another, soy def messed up my cycle going to rethink taking it next cycle if AF shows.

 

[southernbound]

I'm so sorry for your loss lora I agree though that I would wait until your first cycle with flow. Otherwise you really do risk messing up your hormones. I wish you the very best of luck on the upcoming cycle
