taking Soy Isoflavones and maca?

[lynne192]

was wondering what doseage of Soy Isoflavones and maca you guys take and what days you guys take it?

i have been looking around and the lowest i could buy was 750mg but most threads are saying 200mg once a day for 5days

help any advice would be great i took it today the day i am ovulating my mistake thinking i take it like angus castus will it effect me??????

I 'think' the 750 mg you talk about is from holland and barratt? They have 23mg of soy isoflavones in every capsule. x

yeah it is holland and barrets thanks for clearing that up hun was getting worried there, and been reading it can stop you ovulating and also cause cysts etc so might increase infertility not help it so little freaked out now.

i have took soy this month, got pos opk on cd18/19, will let you know if ff confirms ov.

so many people say it is just like clomid but you have to take twice the amount e.g 200mg soy = 100mg clomid

someone else has told me soy acts as a contraceptive, didnt know about this, all i can do is let ya know if i ov, i also have pcos,

i took agnus castus last month but iv heard you shouldnt take it with soy
(was just refering to your other thread then hun) xx

 

[lynne192]

thanks hun might stay clear from the soy then

think im with ya on that one, only because i took agnus castus last cycle and ov bang on cd14, so figure that cant be doing anything bad. fx for you this cycle xx

 

[lynne192]

yeah i think its been helping me and the only reason why i am actually ovulating but we'll see if i actually am ovulating or not... i don't really like putting clomid in my body tbh unlike AC, with AC i got pregnant with my son and he is only one of my pregnancies to end in a child.

I took soy last cycle... didnt catch the eggy though i did ovulate according to + opks on CD 17

Might try it next month... might not... might give a month off see if theres any difference xx

i ovulate on soy too. its late but atleast i O. I take 120mg cd3-7. I get it from tesco and it comes in 40mg capsules.

 

[x-amy-x]

got mine from tesco too xx

 

[lynne192]

i got mine for holland and barrets didn;t think they would do it in tesco or that lol... best of luck everyon using it.

i'm only taking 100mg of soy and i'm only taking it on the days before i start clomid...like a kick-start. don't worry about it affecting your infertility unless you take it for more than a week out of the month.
i've got my own plan that i'm using and if it is successful...then i'll share it with you all...but why post your plan to have someone else follow if you don't know if it will work. i was told by many women on here that soy has really worked for them though, just like clomid, to help them ovulate...so that's why i've incorporated it. best of luck to you all!

 

[lynne192]

thanks hun keep us updated x

 

[Born2BeAMommy]

thanks dear! i definitely will! hope you have lots of luck and get that BFP =)

 

[lynne192]

thanks mee too and hope you get your asap too x

I've read in a health book that soya is a natural contraceptive and if ttc you should steer clear.

Hope this helps
xx

 

[lynne192]

thanks hun tbh gonna steer clear of it because worried it will cause PCOS alone to get worse.
