Congrats loraloo I hope this is your beautiful rainbow!!

Goldenratio: that sounds great. Good luck with your first soy cycle!

I'm doing my fourth soy cycle. I'm excited about it though as I'm using the same brand of soy that I used the cycle I conceived my daughter. I used a new brand trees last three cycles and I don't think it did much. When I took the soy the cycle we conceived our daughter my temp nosedived the more I took it and then I ovulated really early for me on cd13. The last three cycles my temps didn't change as I took the soy isoflavones and I ovulated after CD20 the first two times. I'm hopeful this time though as once again my temp is plummeting the longer I take them. Hopefully this will be setting me up for an early ovulation again. If I ovulate CD13 again I'll be due AF on Christmas Day!

I took my last capsules today. The amounts were:
CD2: 92mg
CD3: 115mg
CD4: 138mg
CD5: 161mg
CD6: 184mg

This is our fourth month of trying for #1, but first with soy. I took 200mg consistently throughout cd3-7. Had a blazing positive opk on Thanksiving (we bd'd that morning and I used a softcup), as well as really bad O cramps and twinges on both sides that lasted for 3 days, so hopefully I released at least one eggy if not multiple. In previous months I had been taking vitex to regulate my cycle as it became wonky after being on various birth control pills and most recently the Nuva ring for almost 9 years straight.

Sounds like what i will be doing this cycle, except i will increase the dosage as days go by. Im curious to see when u will get ur bfp! when will u be testing?

I'm probably going to start testing at 9dpo. I'm already at 5dpo, but I don't want to test too early, AF is due on 12/11.

Last day of tablets today but I need to pop to get another bottle as not quite enough. I've done 120mg each day is it worth doing a higher dose just for the last day??

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

Ah congrats!! Yay for soy!

Ladies who are looking for soy isoflavone brands to take, I would like to recommend solgar. Does not have anythin artificial in it and no fillers either - also suitable for vegetarians! Each tablet contains 38mg of soy isoflavones. So a max dose of close to 200mg is 5 tablets - not too bad

Goodluck ladies!

I finally found SI, it's natural factors brand. Pills are each 50 do I'm gonna do 100,150,150,200,200 for cd3-7

What time should I take them? Morning or night?

 

[corgankidd]

I took mine at night because you can get some side effects, so by taking them before bed you just sleep through any side effects you would get.

 

[Lost7]

I'm not 100% sure but I think you're supposed to take them in the morning. Either that or they have better success rates when taken in the morning.

I could be wrong though.

 

[Tesh23]

I took mine at night as they did give me some side effects when I first started. I would take them in the evening a few hours before bed time or u can still experience some side efects the next morning if u take them too late- just my experience - but u may be one to not have side effects so just depends!

 

[Lost7]

There's some good information here. Some of which I might copy over to our thread for B&B members to read.

I've re-formatted Page 1.

Is there anyone I've missed?

 

[GoldenRatio]

Thanks ladies, I think I will start taking it at night today. I'm not gonna temp this cycle, hopefully I will ovulate earlier than before

 

[Lost7]

Good luck!

 

[GoldenRatio]

Took it before bed and didnt hav side effects so far, but this morning i felt like i didnt get enuf sleep so that might be one of the side effects.

This is my first cycle taking SI. We were prescribed clomid but decided to try the natural course first. I'm taking 120mg cd5-9. Currently cd6. Hopeful this works for us!
