Soya Isoflavones Cycle Buddies! <3

[55comet555]

They finally caught the guys about an hour or 2 ago. I guess they were trying to smuggle drugs and went all crazy or something.

But the brightside of today is we got our great Dane pup! She's 7.5 weeks old and 25lbs. She has been doing great. She's 2/3 for on potting outside. Our lab/rotten mix and cat gets along with her great and they played all evening. Think we are either going to name her Daphne or ellie (for elephant) haha

Oh how cute?!?! I love puppies

Comet she is adorable!!

I've thought about getting a dog in a few years. We need to get our fence fixed and I would like it if I wasn't taking care of a toddler, baby and puppy all at once. Okay so by a few years I mean like 8-9.

Cute puppy Comet!

I've always loved the idea of a dog, but not getting up early for walks every day. We have a needy cuddly cat instead.

Hi ladies! I've been reading through this thread for awhile and i decided to give soy a try this cycle
I have a couple of questions though. My cycles are pretty short, they range between 23 - 28 days, will soy make me ovulate later than normal. I usually ovulate between day 10-15. Also, after looking at all the SI on Amazon I decided to buy the Natrol brand and thought they were 50 mg per pill, well I got them today and they are 50 mg per serving and a serving is 5 pills I started taking them today and wanted to do 120, 120, 150, 200, 200 on cd 3-7. To get 120 I have to take 12 pills though! Do any of you have a recommendation for a good quality brand I can try cause this is way too many pills!! I did just buy Best Naturals which is 750mg per pill but I'm unsure of its quality.

Thank you for any advice you can give! So excited to get started!!

One more question- anyone notice crazy dreams or nausea when taking these?

Hi. I take the spring valley brand. And I didn't have crazy dreams or nausea but everyone is different.

Just a quick update from me, the witch got my last cycle (my second SI cycle). Hardly surprising I can stimulate my ovaries until they're back and blue, that doesn't help his semen.

The battles that is Male Factor Infertility. I won't be trying any further cycles, but good luck to everyone else who is / will try Soya.

Sorry to hear that lost! Is he taking anything? Zinc? Bee pollen? Royal jelly? Vitamin C?

 

[Lost7]

No. I had put him on Zinc, L'Arginine and L'Carnitine to boost his semen, as well as a Multi-Vitamin & Vitamin C. However, with a secondary SA, these have had negative effects.

His doctor also suggests that there are no research and no studies to prove anything is effective in improving the quality (or quantity) of semen.

In fact, his total count went from 175 million to 135 million.

Well I think si is not for me! I am now 3 days late for ovulation and still having very negative opk's I have been having Ewcm for the last 6 days but definitely no o.
I am scared I totally messed up my cycle. I have been bd like crazy too, gutted that it's all for nothing. Just hoping this doesn't turn into a crazy long cycle and i can try again soon

Hey all.

I'm giving soy another go this cycle! Since my MC in July I had a 40 day cycle with no ovulation then 45 day cycle not sure on ovulation as I stopped tracking to take the stress out but still didn't work on the length of cycle.

Doing 120mg cd3-7 hope it works

 

[squirrel.]

I'm trying soy again this cycle. I was going to do CD3-7, but I started today on CD2 instead. Going to do CD2-CD6 incrementally increasing. I now have Holland and Barrett soy isoflavones, the same ones I used the cycle I conceived my daughter. They have weird dosages of soy in them, 23mg each, so you have to take a fair few tablets (and they're massive) to get a good dose.

I'll be doing:
CD2 = 92mg
CD3 = 115mg
CD4 = 138mg
CD5 = 161mg
CD6 = 184mg

Weird dosages because of the weird dosage in the tablet. When I took these with my daughter's cycle I noticed my temperature plummeting as I took them, so I knew they were working and I ended up ovulating on CD13 in the end. They did a great job. Hoping for a repeat this cycle!

Today was the first proper day of my period and I got a call from my brother saying he and his wife are pregnant and expecting twins (they were also trying for their third). I have been fascinated by and obsessed with twins my entire life and have always desperately wanted them myself. So to hear that not only are they pregnant on the day my period comes after yet another failed cycle but that they're also pregnant with twins is such a difficult time for me. I am so happy for them, but at the same time so incredibly sad for me and also so very jealous. Don't know what to do right now, just feel so fragile.

 

[55comet555]

First cycle didn't work for me. Gonna try cycle day 3-7 this time instead of 2-6.
But I had a question, I noticed today my soy has calcium in it. Is that fine or should I get a different one

I got my bfp today on first month of Soya &#128515;

 

[krissie328]

Congratulations LoraLoo!

Comet- I'm sure it's fine. I would use it still.

 

[Powell130]

Congrats loraloo!!!!!

 

[Lost7]

Soya isn't for everyone. If you have a regular cycle you're advised not to take it. It really is down to personal choice and preference.

Good luck to everyone.
