I don't really know why I'm posting this but just wanted to tell someone and not someone in real life (if you know what I mean) after 14 months of trying after a mmc I got my much longed for BFP yesterday and all I did different this month was take soy isoflavones after seeing some good success stories on mumsnet, and well it worked!! So don't lose hope ladies it will happen Grin

Hi Ginger

Thank you! I'm scared stiff incase of another mmc but I'm keeping the good vibes going as best I can! Mine were from Amazon took from cycle day 2- 100mg day 3- 150mg day 4- 150mg day 5- 200mg and say 6-200mg I took them before bed and had no side effects.. I obviously can't say for definate these were the key for me but they were the only change I have made in the last 14 months so I think it was and would recommend giving them a go, and will hope they have the same outcome for you!

Soy isoflavones are hailed to be the natural alternative to clomid.. So it makes you ovulate and gives you a more mature healthy egg I believe, I have read a few positive stories on here so I got some from Amazon and took from cycle day 2-6 and the had very positive ovulation signs backed up by opks 10 days after the last pill and well it worked.. Like you a busy life meant my and dh don't get the chance to dtd all the time but this time we did it day before ovulation and day of... Missed a day then again and within a week I started to feel a bit odd and after putting it off finally did a test last night and was a very strong and quick positive. I definitely felt that way too and was so down each month but it will happen I insist on it! Smile

Congratulations!! I am also ttcing number 2, for 16 months now, also wondering if it well ever actually happen Hmm. I have heard these mentioned on MN too, wonder if it's worth giving them a go, can I ask where you got yours from? How many did you take?

Aww I know I'm very lucky really Chook to have been blessed with D.D.
but you do sometimes get fed up hoping. It doesn't help that through circumstances me and d.p together and both work so we can't dtd on tap but then who can in the real world whether they live together or not. But we Managed a quickie earlier on before d.p went to work and d.d is out.
But I'm sick of thinking after every shag or maybe it's worked this time, but I suppose you thought like that as well
Can you tell me what soy is please. I might give it a try.

Hi ilivein

I know how you feel, really I have spent the last 6months thinking I'm probably never going to have another baby and should just be happy with my dd who is 5 but I desperately wanted another one, I honestly couldn't see it happening again after all that time, so I thought will give the soy a go and just see and well It did work for me I know it won't for everyone but I just wanted to give some hope... Ill keep everything crossed for you that you have your good news soon too

Congratulations. Wish I had faith in what you say though. It some times seems like it's never going to happen.
