For anyone TTC or thinking about TTC with Soy Isoflavones

Newera do you take anything to improve womb lining? I'm sure that a problem for me. My periods are so light and almost painless.

Forgot to say that DP's sperm results came back 'normal'. Although we don't have the exact numbers yet we are really pleased.

I will still post on this thread as I'm over-invested in everyone else's cycles lol. So much more interesting than my own!!

I'm on cd 3/4 today. I ordered Fertilecm alongside Fertileaid as it's supposed to help increase EWCM. We shall see!!

Hi girls. Nice to hear everyone's plans. Am on CD6, last day of soy. I'd love it if we could still hear from you disney and newera as I am now over invested in your TTC journey!

GoodEgg that's interesting as I'm planning on buying FertilAid for women that has Vitex in it I think. It has pre-natal but also a proprietary blend of herbs including chasteberry, l-arginine, maca etc. I was reading the reviews last night and they were extremely positive. My partner has been taking the mans version and another one alongside called CountBoost.

I was trying to do my sums yesterday and I think we are spending around £350 a month on acupuncture and supplements at the moment. How crazy is that!!!

Just wanted to say a quick thanks to Soloman for helping me make the decision to give Agnus Castus a go. I only managed to take it for 4 days before ov this cycle and it could be coincidence but I got an extra 2 days LP this cycle which is unheard of! The pre AF spotting has started now which is always gutting but I'm going to start AC on cd1 when I get full flow and am feeling positive about next cycle. Let's hope the Xmas atmosphere will help us all get those BFP's! Xx

Hi there,
Just been reading through this thread. A big wave to those I recognise from the buses. I hadn't really given much thought to taking soy as I thought my cycles were fairly regular. Before ttc they were pretty much 29 days like clock work though they had been irregular in the past. Since ttc 30 days is a good cycle, they are more like 32/33 which has me getting my hopes up for a few days even though I get pre AF symptoms. Anyway, think I ovulate around days 17-19 so no concern re my LP but would love to improve egg quality (am 33) and try and bring ov forward a few days.
I'm on CD 22, thought I was 3dpo but FF says 4dpo and who am I to disagree with FF. Going to order some Soy ready for next cycle to tempt fate. I find the 2ww more tolerable too if I have a plan of action for next cycle.
Good luck everyone, will lurk for now and then join in if AF arrives.

So AF arrived proper this evening. I'm not sure I can class this day 1 of full flow, but I actually managed a longer cycle last month on my own, so am going to give soy a miss for next cycle and see how I get on.

Have ordered some royal jelly and will continue to take EPO throughout ovulation and see if it helps with my EWCM. I normally get one day but this cycle I didn't get any. I have also ordered Preseed so fingers crossed!

Onwards and upwards, good luck everyone xx

Loopy I take ages to get rig of HCG, even when they are at low levels, so for me retesting would probably have proved nothing. However it sounds like a chemical maybe and if so you might test negative pretty quickly afterwards.

Girls I've been thinking - what about my HCG levels? If I retest in a few days, it'll still be present won't it? Possibly giving a false positive? I've tried to call the GP but they're not answering which is very bloody helpful not

Sadly not as it's around the time I might expect to get AF if I'd OVed earlier. It seems to just be spotting for now which I generally never get but of course I've never taken soy before!

So sorry loopy

Perhaps implantation bleed newera.

Bollocks I think my period is here two days early. Hoping it does t turn into full flow till tomorrow but I generally don't get spotting so I suspect she is here.

Now sure what to do now as soy seemed really promising by adding another day into my follicular phase, however I've now potentially lost two days off my lutuel phase which is crap.

I'm really sorry this is happening to you Loopy it's awful. But I would also say to retest in a few days. I too had quite heavy bleeding with DS on and off for the first 16 weeks of my pregnancy. Xxx

Ah cross posts. Yes I think retest in a couple of days and see what the line is like. If you still have a strong line then I definitely think seeing the GP would be a good idea, even if it's just to get it logged on the system that you have had a loss.

Are you absolutely sure it's all over though? I know you are bleeding but have you retested at all?

Not spoken to GP as I'm only 4+5, not sure what they could do? I might test in a few days & perhaps talk to GP on Monday if still showing positive.

NewEra that's interesting to hear. I will try SI again I think but on a lesser dose.

So sorry Loopy .

I have heard rumblings of many soy pregnancies ending in MC but that seems to get muddled by a lot of the women resorting to soy having had difficult pregnancies and miscarriages previously. It does worry me though.

I'm sorry, it's so worrying. That is exactly what happened with DS though, and it went on pretty much for 12 fucking horrible weeks. Def test again in a couple of days. Have you spoken to GP?

Boys it's really heavy & been going on hours. No cramping as such but it's definitely not happening for me
