Soya Isoflavones Cycle Buddies! <3

[squirrel.]

Lost have you tested??? Do you have pics?

 

[Lost7]

Yeah, they're on my Journal over in LTTTC! To be honest they're a bit hit and miss. I had a friend actually point out a faint line to me as I didn't see it!

I do see something IRL, but we'll see. Certainly not hopeful but then I do have a LOT of symptoms. Peeing more, Heartburn, Sickness, Had a weird taste in my mouth yesterday morning, Full of cold today, CM is very wet and creamy (usually on 11 DPO it's very dry and tacky), had bad cramps on 9DPO (common day to implant), never usually have ''those'' type of cramps, felt rather odd and yesterday 10 DPO I had thrush like itch, that's magically disappeared today....

We'll see what Sunday brings.

 

[squirrel.]

Eek! Just had a look! I totally see the lines on those first tests! Hopefully this is your long awaited and long-deserved rainbow!!! xx

 

[Lost7]

Thank you sweetie!
I think my eyes have got bad because I'm rarely seeing lines

FX for your rainbow too!

I feel strangely confident still. Maybe it's just stupid hope blinding my senses, but I just have a good feeling... see me crash and burn when I test on Thursday and get BFNs I was just telling my husband that I will be very sad to get BFNs
a) because I am so sure
b) because our timing was amazing! (and it hasn't been before now)
c) because this is our first cycle of soy and the only other time I used it we conceived Isla.

To be truthful I am super super scared for Thursday and don't even really want to test...

 

[Lost7]

Good luck for Thursday, I really really hope you get that sticky
Just clicked your chart, you did have amazing timing and your chances are really high!

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think as long as it has a MG amount of SI (or it may say soya) on the back it should be fine. Lots of soy products are marketed for menopause. Red clover has phytoestrogens too I believe but the back should have total isoflavone count so as long as it didn't contain anything unsafe for pregnancy it should be fine

Some of the multivitamin ones seemed to only contain 20 mg of SI per capsule so you'd have to take loads and not keen on that. I will do some more reading on red clover isoflavones and get those instead if they seem ok. I could be wrong but I vaguely remember that they are supposed to help with something else too, or at least have seen red clover being mentioned somewhere.

The lack of properly stocked tescos is very frustrating! I can't be bothered travelling all the way to the nearest Tesco Extra or whatever the really big ones are called, I'd be gutted if they didn't have any either!

Will look into ordering online as well, if not for this cycle then for the next one!

Does Amazon.com have service in the UK? Here I just ordered mine overnight.

They do, will try and do a next day delivery with them.
Gosh the amount of choice there, so many different brands!!

Thanks for your help! Isn't it like 3 am in Texas at the moment, just noticed you're based in there!

 

[southernbound]

Haha yes I work night shift half or every month and I just got off that half so couldn't sleep I'm an oil refinery operator. What does everyone else do/ what is everyone into?

 

[Lost7]

CD1.

Have decided I'll be trying SI again this cycle. Will work upwards of the dosage. Days 3-7 Like last time. Won't be taking anything else.

 

[Lost7]

Think I'll be reformatting page 1 for those of us who need a second or third cycle on soya.

 

[squirrel.]

So sorry to hear that Lost

Hope you're doing okay. I think it's a good idea to have increasing dosages of soy. I can't remember where I read that last time, but I did it the time we conceived our daughter and did it again this time. I really hope you get your sticky baby soon!!

 

[squirrel.]

I don't suppose I can be added to the front page? I took soy CD2-6 with 150, 150, 200, 200, 200 as the schedule.

 

[Powell130]

Yes please!

Just saw this lol

I did CD 3-7 120, 120, 160, 160, 200 taken in the morning

Haha that explains it!
That's cool, I work for a consultancy company for chemical industry. Whereabouts in Texas are you? Not that I know Texas that well, only been to Dallas.

Night shifts must be so hard! I'm a primary teacher currently teaching Year 6 (10/11-year-olds), so no night shifts for me, unless you count the amount of marking and resourcing I have to do that goes into the wee hours of the morning some days


Dimmu just spotted you're a fellow Londoner. Whereabouts are you based? We're in Brixton.

More information added and updated on Page 1.

Thanks Squirrel. Im feeling pretty down to be honest. 14 months + now. It's NEVER been this hard before, never.
The fact I have six children doesn't mean I hurt any less with each AF either, ridiculous that people seem to think oh she's got 6 kids it shouldn't bother her, well month after month for 13 months I can quite frankly say yes it does bother me!!
