Soya Isoflavones Cycle Buddies! <3

[Lost7]

Lora, Days 3-7 are definitely ''best of both worlds'' for taking Soya!

I do agree with Powell though sweetie, best to wait until you've zero HCG before trying it - it can mega mess up cycles unfortunately.

I have a regular cycle and Soya is NEVER advised for women who have regular cycles, I took the FULL dose of 200mg on Days 3-7 and didn't find any adverse affects at all. In fact I O'd a day earlier and gained an extra day in my LP (Usual 11 day LP).

I really do wish you the very best hun!

Squirell. No, I noticed no side effects such as sore boobs. In fact, I didn't have any side effects from taking SI.

Hello well after 10 days of provera I finally started af.. cd1 today!! Going to take soy 3-7 first cycle with soy I'm thinking 120,160,160,200,200.. good luck everyone!! Baby dust!

 

[Powell130]

Good luck hun!!

 

[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?

Honestly nothing stood out except my temps r
Spiked up and down for a few days, like I greared up for o but didn't twice

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?

Hey Southern! Wow that's awesome! Early O is always awesome hoping your temp goes up again tomorrow! What cd do u usually O?


It made me O 5 days early last cycle. This cycle really hoping for another early O! Last cycle I had little to zero ewcm, and I usually have a good amount on previous cycles. Also had lots of twinges in ovaries, peeing a lot and horrible bloating before O. This cycle I have none of the above and had 2 day of ewcm right after af! Only going to get a chance to start bd tomorrow cd8... opks are still negative so I guess its ok... hoping that ewcm shows up tomorrow!! lol

 

[southernbound]

Nope didn't O but that's ok, still getting ewcm waaay earlier and lots more time for o to be early. I normally o on 16 or 17 and only 12 now, so plenty of time to go! Do you have evening primrose oil or something for ewcm?

 

[Powell130]

Try grapefruit juice! It is way faster acting

 

[squirrel.]

I'd never heard about grapefruit juice being good for EWCM, juts googled it and found lots of positive experiences. I don't think lack of EWCM is a problem for me, but more can't hurt

On my last day of taking soy today. I took it as follows:
CD2 - 150
CD3 - 150
CD4 - 200
CD5 - 200
CD6 - 200

I really hope it helps me ovulate sooner than CD25. Last time I tried it I ovulated CD13. That would be amazing if that could happen again! I hate waiting so long to ovulate each cycle.

Oh and I think the sore breasts are because of stopping breastfeeding two weeks ago rather than due to the soy. One side is very sore and lumpy, so I think it's clogged ducts. Will wait a few days and if they don't go down I'll go see a GP.

Tesh sweets are you now on your second Soya cycle?

 

[ttc bubby no2]

I took soy back in April and got a BFP but sadly miscarried. DS2 is also a soy baby (DS1 is from clomid), anyway.. I'm considering trying it again although the last time when I took it felt like I had lots of pressure around my ovaries CD 16 but then for some reason ovulation got delayed until CD30.

I'm wondering if I need a higher dose or if it was too much? I took 120mg on CD3-8 but it also had red clover in it so that also contains some isoflavones. I would like to get some soy without the red clover but there aren't many options here and the one I used for DS2 isn't made anymore.

This current cycle (natural - no soy) has gone wacky and I'm on day 30 again with no ovulation so far.

Ooh I just looked at your chart and I think you may have ovulated on cd13! Hoping those temps go up up up!

I am taking folic acid, Vit D3. And omega 3 and 6 for ewcm with lots of water and that seems to be doing the trick! I think from tomorrow I'm gonna try the grapefruit juice with the omega 3 and 6 and see if that increases it any. I tried evening primrose oil a couple of cycles and I actually had no ewcm while on it so I guess it doesn't do anythin for ewcm for me personally.

Got dh on all of that too plus l-arginine!

Tesh sweets are you now on your second Soya cycle?

Hey Lost! Yep I'm on my second cycle of Soy now. Hoping I O early again. Have no twinges or side effects like I did last cycle so hoping it doesn't mess up my cycle this time around! Good news tho is that I am getting ewcm unlike last cycle and my cervix is starting to soften, as last cycle it didn't at all.

Hope it works this cycle. If not I'm gonna give it one more try next cycle before I give the soy a break!

 

[southernbound]

Thanks tesh! I was thinking cd 13 too, I was hoping I wasn't crazy XF I guess we'll see what temps are like in the morning! What cd did you last month? Sorry if I missed it

What dose of clomid did you take? They say double that mg for soy dosage. Also it looks like you took it one day extra, not sure if that would have an effect but it could. You take it 5 days, just like clomid

I took 50mg of clomid. I actually took the soy 5 days on 3-7 I typed the wrong days!

The tablets I had were 40mg each so I went with the 120mg rather than 80mg. When I conceived DS2 I took 100mg of soy and that brand was just soy, no red clover.

I have finally ovulated this cycle so I have about 2 weeks to decide what to do for the next cycle (unless I'm pregnant of course).

CROSSHAAAIRS! WHOO! oed on cd 13. HUGE improvement. Even if this isn't my bfp month (and I'm not optomistic, I had 16 hour shifts during most of my fertile period so not much bding to be had) I'm still considering this month a success.

 

[Powell130]

Thats good news!!

 

[Lost7]

Southernbound, yay! Did you O earlier on Soya? I noticed I O'd a day earlier but still a result, I gained an extra day too in my LP!

Keeping everything crossed for you!

As for me, Well I must say I am enjoying being relaxed about everything. I am still entering when and if we baby dance on my FF, but that's as far as it goes.
Instead of the poor postman bringing me OPK's and HPT's and despite me having a LARGE stash still, I haven't peed on any more sticks and I don't plan to.

Instead, I'm buying things for our next camping trip. 11ish sleeps until our next and last camp of 2015. I've bought so many goodies! I can't wait to go away again. What will be, will be. I am so relaxed about not trying. I feel so much happier in myself and like a weight has indeed been lifted from my shoulders.

 

[southernbound]

Yeah it was 4 days earlier on soya and oh lost I'm so glad you're feeling better! That trip sounds like a blast! You'll have to let us know how it goes!
