Hey ladies, I'm just about to start SIs and looking for any tips about how to take them (I have irregular cycles and have been spotting all week but don't know when AF is actually gonna start), dosages and success rates for pcos. We haven't been TTC long, but I don't think I'm O'ing, and with irregular cycles it's a nightmare. I wanted to try SIs before clomid, as I heard they worked the same x
Hi! I just got my BFP after 10 cycles ttc. Out of the 8 that I was temping I believe I only actually O'd for 2 of them (3 if you include my BFP with soy). Ovulation issues run in my family so I decided to try soy the cycle before going into the fertility specialist and BAM BFP! I have a super sensitive stomach/system so I didn't want to overwhelm my body, I did CD2-6: 50mg first day (because I read the serving size wrong lol
) and 100mg for the rest.
I wasn't really planning on it working for me the first time but I definitely felt what I now believe were Ovulation pains or cramps, which I never got before. I also got my first blaring positive OPK result. So I knew something was different this cycle.
In addition to the soy, I also took B6 and B complex every day until my BFP (prenal vitamin as well). I too had irregular and shortening cycles with a 10-8 day LP and another BnB-er told me that B6 helps lengthen LPs but to make sure to take it with a B complex to stay balanced.
Good Luck!!!!
