Soya Isoflavones Cycle Buddies! <3

[BostonLover89]

Lost, I'm starting out with 100mg. Well, the first day I did 50 mg because I didn't pay attention to serving size lol oops.

Are you doing one cycle on 5 x 100mg daily? Or are you increasing the dosages?

Since this is my first time I'm keeping it at 100mg. I always get nervous about adding new things into my diet.

If I get another bfn I'll probably look into increasing dosages.

 

[Lost7]

Sounds sensible. Good luck with your cycle, I'll update the dosage for you on page 1.

Thanks Lost, I'm okay with it though, just feel a bit foolish that I was so certain I was pregnant when I really wasn't! I have faith it won't be too much longer for us (fingers crossed!). Yep, trying soy days 3-6, smaller doses this time, as my ovaries really did hurt for three weeks starting a week before ovulation and I reckon I just overdid the soy! So I'm doing these dosages instead:
CD3: 100mg
CD4: 125mg
CD5: 150mg
CD6: 175mg
CD7: 200mg.

I did a similar gradual increase (with slightly lower amounts) the successful cycle with our daughter in 2013 (nearly exactly 2 years ago!). Hope it means I ovulate a bit earlier, but not too much earlier, and without the pain this time. My husband is away from Thursday (CD5) until the 7th (CD11). Then he goes away again in a few weeks (CD25) and then is gone for two weeks. He's playing two tours in October So I had better ovulate between CD14 (just to get a few days in before O happens) and CD25. When I took soy two years ago I ovulated CD13 and this last time I ovulated CD21, so hopefully I'll be okay and he'll be around when I'm ovulating!!

Fingers crossed for that squirrel.
I'm not a frequent visitor on this forum, or any other forum to be honest. I only seem to do vlogs for my YouTube Channel and update my FB group for the LTTTC'ers on my Friends list.
I catch up with my LTTTC Journal and that's about it. I can't believe how many replies I've got on this thread, I was expecting it to be a huge flop, but it seems Soya is becoming more popular. I have everything crossed for you, I really do. We both need our rainbows.

I've made my first batch of candles today ahead of wave of light, I'm lighting one per angel as usual, lighting 9 this year. Heartbroken. In two weeks we should have a baby in our arms, due dates are always the hardest.

I'm in next month. Xx

 

[Lost7]

What days and dosage?

 

[Raine96]

Woke up went to pee and when i wiped had spotting. Non in underwear just when i wiped. ! I was having a cramping/tender feeling all day long but it got worse last night. (Not like AF cramps though) and then it stopped later that night. We bd'd last night.
So i think its ovulation spotting. Too early to be implantation unless i o'd already and didnt catch my surge.

 

[Lost7]

Gosh, that's a really long AF! Could be left over from that, or from the baby dancing.

 

[Raine96]

Gosh, that's a really long AF! Could be left over from that, or from the baby dancing.

I had AF from Sept 4th-Sept 17th. I haven't had any spotting or anything after that until this morning.

 

[Raine96]

Oh my soy came in also! So if I do not conceive this cycle I will be taking soy on days 3-7 120, 120, 160, 160, 200mg
I'm CD 26 right now, I think I either O'd last night or I will O today.

 

[Lost7]

Sorry yes, my eyes were only looking at the temperatures then saw the AF input. Eyes didn't read ahead that you've not been temping and are further along in your cycle.

Guess that's what chronic insomnia and sleep deprivation does to you.

 

[Raine96]

Yeah i think my fiance accidentally threw away my thermometer urgh so i haven't been able to temp

 

[Raine96]

Spotting was only pink for a few hours. Its gone brown now and now having pinching pain again. Did not bd tonight cause fiance said he was too tired from work but he said we can tomorrow morning before i go to work!

 

[Ttcpcos]

TTCpcos and dolphinleigh, how have you both got on?
1st page has now been updated, if you see any errors please let me know!

Well it's CD 35 and I thought maybe I ovulated around the 20th Idk anymore and since my af is irregular Idk when I'm late or when I should take provera again to jump start af.... I don't feel any different other than being depressed the past two weeks

 

[Lost7]

Bless you! Hope you know either way soon! Fingers crossed!

 

[BostonLover89]

Has anyone ever experienced negative side effects while taking the soy? I'm not sure if it's related but my stomach has been KILLING me. I Just haven't felt right the last few days. Totally unable to solidly pass anything ( tmi sorry), and terrible headaches.

I know it could take time for my body to get used to it, I just wanted to check to see if anyone else had a similar adjustment period while taking new vitamins and supplements for fertility.

Today is my last day taking the soy so hopefully my tummy will go back to normal. Since I'm hoping this helps me O earlier I'm going to start the OPKS just in case! I'm hoping for some very obvious bfp OPKS this cycle!!!!!

 

[dimmu]

Is there anyone else who wants adding on Page 1?

I'm taking the soy (CD2-6) for this cycle.

I'm on cd 4 so just at the beginning! Testing around oct 23-25!!! Hoping these help lengthen my LP

I'll add you. What mg are you taking?

dimmu, good luck with this 2ww! FX you won't have to use them next month. Shall I add you down for 'waiting to try'?

Lost7, I've got my SI so waiting to try now and see if AF shows up on Sunday/Monday. I have lots of AF symptoms which make me think she's on her way!
I probably do days 3-7 but still need to work out how much I will take, probably starting with 100mg.

 

[Mummy1506]

Looks like soy might actually delay my ovulation cd 27 & not even faint lines on my opks &#128542;. Feel like just giving up ttc until next year but don't want to approach due date without being pregnant again &#128546;.

 

[Raine96]

Okay i need some advice ladies. So on the 29th i had some pink spotting that turned brown. Then yesterday (the 30th) i thought it was over but while i was at work i went to the bathroom and saw i was bleeding. It was clotty and red and lasted for a few hours then nothing really later that night.
Today i havent had anything except once again some spotting.
I thought that yesterday was AF but 5 days early. But with little spotting today it wouldnt make sense.
So idk if im on CD 29 (if i dont classify yesterday as light period) or CD2 (if i do classify it as AF) what do you think i should do cause im supposed to start soy this cycle!

 

[Raine96]

Okay so super gross and TMI but i just went to the bathroom and there was nothing on my pad but when i wiped there was this.
Sorry that this is gross guys but i really dont know whats going on with my body!
