Soya Isoflavones Cycle Buddies! <3

[Lost7]

Thanks Lost. This is my second cycle straight after my last one (it's my third soy cycle - I got a BFP on my first ever soy cycle that turned into my pregnancy with my daughter in November 2013).

I took:
CD3 - 100mg
CD4 - 125mg
CD5 - 150mg
CD6 - 175mg
CD7 - 200mg

Can you remember what dosage you did with your daughter in 2013? Only, I've added Powells first SI cycle information on the first page and I'd like to do the same with you.

You state the dosage you took, is that for this cycle or the 2013 cycle with your daughter?

Just got the call from my Dr after getting my bloods at the lab earlier this morning...... 22! I hope everyone gets their this cycle! Best of luck and to you all!!

Congrats navyladybug, those are good levels for only 10dpo!

Lost - those are this cycle's numbers. My cycle with my daughter I took randomly unrounde amounts (and low doses too) because the tablets I was taking had 23mg of soy in them. These were the amounts then:

CD3 - 69mg
CD4 - 92mg
CD5 - 115mg
CD6 - 138mg
CD7 - 161mg

Thanks squirrel! AF was due yesterday but according to FF O'd a little later than normal (according to FF CD21 instead CD18 like I first assumed, I went by what I thought I'd be 15DPO today instead of 11DPO, so maybe FF was wrong?)

 

[Lost7]

Thanks Squirell, will double check I've got your dosages down correctly for this current cycle.

 

[Lost7]

Yep - just checked, your information is all present and correct.

Mummy1506 - What days and dosages did you take hun? I need to make a note on the first page?

Ttcpcos - Are you still on your August SI cycle?

Dolphinleigh - Any update on your August cycle?

Today CD 51 Yes I tested yesterday bfn so I went ahead and started provera... this may not be for me but I'm trying again still have hope!!

 

[Lost7]

Golly, you have awfully long cycles hun, is that the PCOS that affects that? I only have one friend with PCOS and she has really really short cycles, typically ovulating around CD8! Lots of love to you and I really hope things work out for you.

 

[Lost7]

What days / dosages will you be taking SI this time hun?

Thank you! It is the pcos I didn't know when I should start provera just in case I ovulate late... um I'm thinking 2-6 120-160-200-200-200
Probably won't start af til around Oct 26th or so

[Lost7]

I have no idea what provera is and I'm really sorry your PCOS gives you really long cycles.

People who have PCOS do have major difficulty getting pregnant so I wish you all the best!

 

[Powell130]

Raw honey, cinnamon and unfiltered apple cider vinegar are amazing for PCOS. I read an article that only using ACV that ovulation and regular cycles can be restored.
Cinnamon helps control blood sugar levels and keep them normal, which is also a problem people with PCOS have.
I strongly recommend looking into it hun!

 

[dimmu]

Lost I took the following doses:
Cd 3 - 100 mg
Cd 4,5 - 150 mg
Cd 6,7 - 200 mg

I'm having lots of fertile looking cm so it certainly looks like the SI has made a difference!

So many BFPs on this thread, congrats to all the lucky ladies and plenty of babydust to everyone else, I'm sure our turn will come soon!!

 

[Lost7]

Yes, 3 to date, Powell, Tesh and Southernbound. A mixture of success with first / second cycles so far!

Thanks for the dosage and days Hun, the next question is... When will you test!

Mummy1506: Really sorry to hear Soya has delayed your O. Do you usually have a regular cycle? I will keep everything crossed you O soon!

BostonLover89 - Yay for + OPK’s. Soya does usually pull forward O by a few days (if it does at all) I’ve heard some great things about SMEP and I hope it works for you!

Ttcpcos - Have you tested? Good luck, they sound promising symptoms.

dimmu - What dosage did you take on days 3-7? I’ll add you to the first page. :wave: Fingers crossed you O a lot earlier than CD37! Good luck - keep us up to speed!

55comet555 - Hello, :wave: Welcome to the thread hun. I strongly recommend Vitamin B Complex for your LP. I only have an 11 day LP and whilst it’s considered ‘’normal’’ I gained an extra day / two by adding the complex. I started off on Vitamin B6 first of all, which didn’t do anything. Strongly recommend the B complex! Good luck when you start SI!

Squirell. - How many SI cycles have you had now? Did you have any breaks in-between? Congratulations on the positive OPK, thankfully let’s hope it’s just in the nick of time before your DH goes away for two weeks. Fingers crossed he returns to a positive pregnancy test(s). Do I have your days and dosage on the main page for this cycle? Good luck!

how long did it take you to get you LP lengthened by taking that?

 

[Lost7]

I took Vitamin B6 for 2 months (no effect) then started the B complex and gained two extra days.

I'm not quite sure yet when I'll be testing. Hoping to ovulate soon and would test two weeks after that. My ovulation date, however, varies, but hoping the SI will bring it forward..

 

[squirrel.]

Well I may have ovulated yesterday on the day of my +OPK (probably in the night I imagine) as my temp went up this morning. Strange chart though, normally I get a dip on the day of ovulation as well. Timing would be pretty good if that was it, as we dtd on each of the 4 days before ovulation and we're going to try today as well (though if I've ovulate already that may be too late).
