Soya Isoflavones Cycle Buddies! <3

[Lost7]

B complex works better. I found that out the hard way, lol.

lol really? My friend got pregnant her first cycle using pre seed and vitamin b-6. I have another friend who got pregnant on her second cycle using b-6.

Yep.


Amber, really sorry to hear you're on your third and final cycle sweets. REALLY hope you get your positive this cycle.

As for me, well I've decided I'm not ready yet to give SI or anything else another try. I'm still trying to heal and just don't feel ready to be trying anything again. Will stick to my plan and start trying again in January, until then - well I don't really give a damn. I've effectively given up.

 

[NZAussie86]

Oh awesome.
I think I will join in. I'm having trouble finding some here in Australia.
I've tried health food stores and pharmacies.
I'm on cycle day 3 now so if I order it in ill be too far gone to start. Plus my bf works away a lot and I'm pretty sure he will be gone whilst I ovulate this month. &#128527;

 

[Tesh23]

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?

Southern my dh is a chemical process engineer at a refinery and he works those shifts too!!! It is super difficult trying to plan bd esp during O and night shifts!!!

 

[Tesh23]

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...

Squirrel I have a good feeling for u this cycle! Your chart looks AMAZING!!!!

Hi nzAussie I Used the solgar brand I'm pretty sure U can order it online! Or u can check stockists in your area on their website. We get them here in SA so pretty sure u will get them down under too

The latest to start soy is cd5 so if it's too late def start next cycle!!

 

[Tesh23]

Thank you for your response Southernbound, really appreciate it!

Went around London looking for some SI but had no luck, none in the pure form anyway inTesco, Sainburys, boots, superdrug...

I did see some SI + vitamin combination tablets/capsules, but not sure if they are a good idea as they all were for menopause symptoms..? Then there was red clover isoflavones, are these very different or would they do?

I could of course order online but I'd like to try some next cycle and as I'm on cd 35 today don't think they'd would get here in time. Really hoping AF will start tomorrow as my longest cycle so far this year was 36 days.

I got mine from a big ish Tesco. The little shop in town here (not a connivence shop) didn't sell it, so I went a little further afield and purchased some. They were on offer too, 3 for 2.

I tried a couple of tesco metros but their selections were poor, so travelled to the nearest superstore that also didn't have any. Don't have a tesco hypermarket near us so not quite sure where else to go.

Dimmu try ordering off solgar UK online. Think they also do free shipping. Look for soy isoflavones- they are 38mg per tablet- so u would need 5 of those for the maximum dosage of around 200. I find that solgar also has better ingredients and no unnecessary fillers

Ugh yes. The night shifts make bding all kinds of difficult

 

[dimmu]

Ttcpcos that's SO FRIGGIN COOL! I love thrift stores. Jealousy Dimmu, I feel ya. Out of 300 operators in my plant there's only 5 females and only one other has or ever plans to have a child, so I'm kind of lonely in mom land . And I'm so glad you liked Dallas! It's not a bad city. And my son had biliary atresia so basically he was born with no gall bladder, no bile tree and a malformed liver but by some strange miracle he's perfectly healthy now. We've had a few scares but they've always resolved themselves very quickly much to the shock and mild aggravation of his doctors (not that they don't want him to be healthy but when a kid has a massive internal bleed 3 times in a row and it somehow disappears before the end of a 3 hour test they get frustrated). Overall though you'd never know he's ever been sick. He'll more than likely need a liver transplant before he's 20 so we keep an eye on his enzyme numbers to catch the warning signs early but so far they always look great

Haha it certainly is a male dominated industry! Whenever I go to any of these conferences and industry events, it's at probably 90% males!

I think with regards to Dallas there's some nostalgia factor there as well, pretty much everyone was following the adventures JR, Bobby and co, it was the first soap I ever watched back in the 80s even though I was a bit too young for it!! But as a city it's more interesting than some of the other US cities I've been to, and it felt very safe as well.

Oh that must have been so frightening with your son, were they expecting all that before he was born or did it come as a surprise? How old is he now? Glad to hear he's doing well but must be scary to think he'll need a liver transplant one day.

 

[squirrel.]

Thanks Tesh, I have a really good feeling about this cycle, I have to say!

 

[Lost7]

I've decided to NOT have another SI cycle. I think I may have posted that earlier, so sorry if I did, lol.

 

[Raine96]

Urghh my opks arent getting darker and usually around this time they are darker or positive. I think the long bleeding earlier this month messed up my cycle.

I just ordered some 50mg tablets express post. So they will come in between 1 and 3 days. I'm now on cycle day 4 so if they come tomorrow I might start otherwise I will wait until next cycle.
I might see my oh more next month anyway. &#128512;

 

[NZAussie86]

Also, does anyone know why you can only take them for 5 days?
Thanks. &#55357;&#56832;

 

[Lost7]

Because they'll have a negative impact on O if you take them for longer. Good luck!

They're taken like Clomid to induce ovulation

 

[NZAussie86]

Ok so I got mine in the mail but they came in too late.
I'm not going to see my oh for a while and I think we will miss all of my fertile time this month anyway so I'll start on my cycle next month.
I'm thinking days 2-5??
I'd love to try for twins. Yup. Call me crazy but I've always wanted them. Has there been much success for other people with twins?
Of course I would be happy with a nice healthy single pregnancy too. &#55357;&#56842;

 

[Raine96]

Stil havent gotten positive opks yet. We've bd'd 6 out of 8 days since the 18th im getting soooo tired lol.

Hi!!! I just got mine today and I'm shooting for days 2-6 too (I'm cd 2 today)!!!! I would be thrilled with twins but mostly I need this to bump up my O date and lengthen my LP.

FX for everyone!

 

[dimmu]

I ordered some online so will give them a try if I don't get lucky this cycle.

Does soya enhance your chances of conceiving twins?? I didn't realise that! Why is that exactly? Not sure how I'd cope with twins, we don't even have a car so logistics would be a bit of an issue with a 5 yo and two babies!
