TTC a Soy baby!

[pinkfee]

Hi All

Not sure if i'm too late to join this thread, but after 18mths of unsuccessful ntnp and ttc and after reading about people's success with soya isoflavones i'm going to give them a go this month.

i'm going to try the following dosages CD3- 80mg, CD4- 80mg, CD5- 100mg, CD6- 120mg, CD7-160mg;

but was just wondering if there is any specific time of day you take them or is it better with or without food?

Also sorry if i'm being thick but do you wait to until after CD7 or have you been DTD straight away?

I have read some ladies take them in the evenings to prevent headaches, but I don't know much more than that. I am going to start next cycle on soy. And I think you can whenever you want!

This is the first time ever I have got 2 dark lines on an OPK!

Right, 1 hr till DH gets home from work. Bath, shave legs, sexy nightie. Sod dinner we got work to do!

Good luck! FX'd!

It was my 1st cycle on them and I just went straight in for 160mg CD 3-7. It definately worked for my becasue I got my first ever pos OPK yesterday and lots of EWCM (TMI). I'm pretty sure this was the first time I've ovulated since coming off the Depo last July!

I took mine in the mornings but did get headaches so if I don't get my BFP this cycle I'll be taking the same dosage on the same days but at night before bed instead so I sleep through the side effects.

Thanks wannabe Mommy... i'm going to try the dosage I said this month and then can always up the mgs if i need to next time.

FX you'll have caught that egg this time round!

Approximately how long after your last day of taking soy did you ovulate? I'm curious as to when I should start taking OPK'S

ok I'm not sure what cd I'm on (I bled for two days....but only used one tampon a day) so it's either cd 5 or cd 21...but I just took an opk and got as close to a positive that I've ever gotten!!! so excited! Will test again at 6pm. I did take soy again at what I think is cd 3. Hopefully I'm not completly messing everything up! I keep taking hpts to be sure but no bfp yet.

I took soy CD3-7 and ovulated on CD20. I started the OPKs on CD8 though cus I have a POAS addiction and really didn't want to miss the egg!

Get a whole bunch of Internet cheapies from Amazon then you don't feel bad for using loads.

Okay great thank you.I also took soy those days !

 

[Wannabe Mommy]

I've read that most people start the OPKs on CD10 and that you should do them twice a day, morning and late afternoon because some people's LH surge only lasts 12 hours so if you only test once a day you could miss it.

www.peeonastick.com is a great resource for HPT or OPK questions.

Well Ladies..I finally got my BFP but now I am bleeding. Had to go to the Dr and get blood work done and was put on progesterone. Now all I can do is pray my little bean sticks.

 

[August79]

Praying for you ThreeboyzMom!

 

[unapologetik]

I took soy on cd5-9.. 80, 80, 120, 160, 160.

FF said I OV'd on CD18, but didn't get a pos OPK. I kept having fertile CM & HSO cervix, so I kept OPK testing, and then around 12pm 6/16 I got a faint positive.. & around 12 hrs later (so midnight) I got a definite positive!

I am on CD26 so it's a late OV, but it's an OV nonetheless! I insem'd 2 days ago, yesterday, today, then will again tomorrow & the day after, F'xd I catch the egg!

 

[Reenie79]

Threeboyzmum - I've got my fingers crossed for you and praying for a sticky bean!
Good luck Unapologetik and Sammy!

AFM - 3 dpo today and my BBs are hurting but then they do that for me in the 2WW. We shall see!

 

[Aliciatm]

anyone? success?

 

[THREEBOYZMOM]

Thank you Reenie and August. I'm still bleeding but still praying. I will hopefully find out Monday for sure what is going on. Good luck to all you ladies. I have my fx'd and sending STICKY baby dust your way.

I'm no soy expert but from my understanding you have to take double the dose of Soy to equal Clomid. Also most people do not go over 200 mgs. I think your dose would be based on how many mgs in your brand of Soy. Mine comes in 40 mg so so I can go 80 mg, 120 mg, 160, 160, 200 or some variation of that. It's just what you feel comfortable with taking. This is my second cycle of Soy and I think I will only try it once more if no joy this month.

Good luck to you!
