Soya Isoflavones Cycle Buddies! <3

[Inkedlady88]

Pretty sure I'm out as it looks like it's an anovulatory cycle this round. I did 160mg days 2-4 and 200mg on days 5 & 6. My temps have barely shifted at all and FF doesn't have crosshairs anywhere. Im already at CD 19 out of 28. Thinking I'm going to give up SI next month and try vitex again instead. I'm wondering if I have a LP defect and anovulatory cycles which is why when I do ovulate, it's later and it doesn't have time to settle in before the walls start coming down. Things I'll be asking my doctor soon.

I'm also planning on scheduling my HSG that my doctor had ordered back in the late summer and OH's SA. I put them off due to being in limbo with health insurance due to my new job, but now have that all sorted out.

You are not out till AF shows.
When are you planning to test ?

new years eve 11:58 to make it fun but af may show p before that

 

[fairyy]

Inkedlady: Are you testing with opk ? You might ovulate later.

GoldenRatio: How fun to get a BFP on New Years Eve. Yayyy.

I know right! but i feel like af is here any minute. TMI Alert!! I decided to check cp and i could barely insert my finger, my vagina walls seem swollen and cervix was medium, soft but open. Like it felt so mushy and swollen in there, along with thick creamy cm. I know cp and cm cant be indication of af or pregnancy, but everything about this cp checking session felt weird and unusual.

I have been using OPK's and temping. My OPK's looked promising around cd 12-13, but never got as dark or darker than the control line, then they progressively got lighter to the point of stark white. After my last stark white one two days ago, I just stopped testing for this month as I figured it would be too late anyway.

 

[fairyy]

Cycles deviate once in a while. Try to continue BD just in case you haven't ovulated yet. Late "O" can be frustrating.

Golden: I don't know anything about CP. For me CM is the main tool to identify fertile days.

Cd9 for me. I am eagerly waiting for the fertile window to start. I normally ovulate between cd14 to cd16. But don't know what Soy is going to do to my cycle!

 

[GoldenRatio]

Well af got me today so painful n heavy n red, literally woke me up this morning. Never had a heavy start like this, must be the SI

Just popping by to say Happy New Year to all the people who have tried SI and those who are yet to try it.

Hey ladies! Mind if I join? Congrats on all of the !!!! Sorry for all the ladies who haven't gotten one yet, sending lots of baby dust your way! So a little about myself. I am 29 DH is 40. Our DS just turned 8 in October and we have been TTC#2 for 4 years now. Our insurance doesn't cover infertility so we have just been trying on our own without much success. I did end up going to my obgyn last year because I went 3 months without AF. OB did some testing on me, said I don't have PCOS or thyroid issues. Said I just have unexplained secondary infertility with annovulatory cycles. DS was conceived naturally after a year of ntnp. I have just noticed as I have gotten older,my cycles are getting worse. I have always had issues with irregular AF since I was young due to AF showing up for the first time when I was 8. Well I went in for my 6 month checkup at the OB and he wanted to try me on clomid 50mg, but because my insurance doesn't cover monitoring I'm a little scared to take it unmonitored because of hyperstimulation and such. We will be actively trying again next month. But I'm really interested in trying soy first. I'm wondering how much I should take? My cycles range from 28-39 days sometimes in the 40's as well. And then that one time I was in the 100's in CD length because of no ovulation. But that has only happened that one time. I also weigh 260 pounds. Don't know if I should adjust mg's based on that. I was wondering if I can take prenatal vitamins with the soy? Is there any other vitamins I could benefit from? Will also be tracking O with temps and opk's, using preseed and softcups. Also starting DH on fertilaid, count boost and motility boost. Wanting to address everything from every angle. After 4 years its getting emotionally, mentally and psyically exhausting. I just want to cry sometimes. Me and DH have decided to try for 3 more years. If it hasn't happened by then we are waving the white flag. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

 

[fairyy]

Sorry Golden that AF got you.
Are you trying SI again this cycle ?

Lost: Thanks sweetie. Happy New Year to you and your family.
Hope you get your much deserved sticky BFP this year.

Happy New Year to all of you ladies.

Welcome to the SI world. Hope SI can help to get your BFP.
As I have heard that you need to take SI twice the strength of clomid i.e if you take or advised to take 50mg of clomid then you can take 100mg of SI. Since SI comes in 40 or 80mg tablets, you can start with 80mg or 120 mg.

My cycles are regular. But still I am a BFP virgin after 3years of unprotected sex. That's why I am giving SI a shot for the very first time this cycle. I took 120mg (cd3-5) & 160mg (cd6-7). I am currently on cd13 and waiting to ovulate.

You can check the first page of this thread to get a better idea about the SI dosages and success. Good luck!

Thanks a lot! Yeah I had read about you needing double the strength of clomid, I just wasn't sure if I needed to take more due to my body mass. I'm wondering if I would benefit from upping the dose gradually throughout the 5 days like most do. I'm going to get the spring valley brand soy from Walmart since it's 40mg. It has added calcium but I see a lot of ladies have had success with that brand. Thanks again for the kind words and gl this cycle!

Yes first cycle, 120 cd3-6 160 cd7

Days 3-7 (120mg, 120mg, 120mg, 120mg, 160mg)

Is that correct?

 

[GoldenRatio]

Hey ladies! my first cycle of SI didnt work, maybe it was due to the pills that i got. I was taking wrong dosage until cd5 and even swallowing 20pills after CD5 didnt help.

I got the walmart brand SI and wanted to start CD3 but i fell asleep that day without taking any so i had to do CD4-8 instead.

I will be doing CD4-8, 120/160/160/200/200 and if this doesnt work then i wont be taking anymore SI.

 

[fairyy]

Hi golden. May be you took the wrong dosages last cycle.

I have got the same brand of SI from Walmart. I am planning to take same dosages as you next cycle if this cycle doesn't work.
