For anyone TTC or thinking about TTC with Soy Isoflavones

[Disneylandkilledmychildhood]

I will be starting soy isoflavones tomorrow, cd 3.

This will be my 11th cycle TTC, with two chemical pregnancies/ early miscarriages @ about 5weeks so far this year already.

I've read up quite a lot on SI, and just at the point now where I'm thinking, what the hell, I'll give it a go!

Anybody else TTC with soy isoflavones?

I'm pretty consistent with temping new. Pretty much ways within an hour. And I never wake in the night.
My cm is back to dry / sticky.

Fuck knows what is going on.it's so hard not to obsess. DH has a cold and isn't up for sone just in case dtd. He had one this time last cycle. I feel
So irrationally upset today. Everyone I know is pregnant or recently had a baby. Maybe we'll just give up for this month and get pissed

Hi ladies.

Been following this for a while, and started taking soy this cycle. I know for some people they seem to have a bit less cm, but has it gone the other way for anyone else, as I've had loads more than usual? Had the headaches etc when I was taking them, but no other effects.

Has anyone had awful teenager style skin since soy taking? I look shocking!!

Am on cd 11 and no sigh of flashing smiles on cb opk dual test yet..... Took soy 2-7cd.

Toots, I've had some cracking headaches, but my skin has been fine. I took it days 3-7 and am now on cd24. Got my smiley face on cd18, which is a few days later than usual for me.

I am on cycle day 2 and just took 150mg after reading the other thread regarding success stories.

I am wondering after reading this thread if I should have waited until tomorrow? !

toots, my nephew asked me yesterday if I've got chicken pox!! So yes, yes to terrible skin!
Ff has me ovulating last Wednesday based on temps. My rise was gradual and not as early as last month. I'm not sure what to make of it all really. DH is poorly so we have barely dtd, so I revjon I am out this cycle.
I have had a few crazy moods in the last week or so. A close friend had a baby and work has been mental. But if I'm honest I think it's the whole ttc thing making me crazy. Going to try and chill out over the whole thing and enjoy christmas.
Good luck everyone

I took SOY on days 3-7 on my last cycle. It was an unusual cycle compared to normal and I do wonder if the SOY is partly responsible. I have very irregular cycles, the one prior to taking SOY was56 days. The first soy cycle was 43 days, not sure if/when I ovulated as I don't temp or OPK, my CM was much reduced, had no EWCM that I noticed, but did have lots of creamy CM after about CD 26 (ish). I had spotting on CD24, 27 and 30 (which I've never had before). AF arrived on Friday, it's very light compared to normal and now at the end of CD3 of next cycle and preparing to take Soy again AF has practically gone (I'm normally at least 4 days of AF and this time has been 2.5 days).

Has anyone else's cycles changed since taken soy and experienced unusual symptoms compared to normal?

How is everyone doing? Any updates? A bit sad to see the thread go quiet.

My soy-free-not-trying-but-still-trying cycle is going well so far. I've had tons of Ewcm and I'm due to ovulate today (cd16) after positive opk yesterday. Can't believe I'm ovulating early after how much soy messed up my last cycle and delayed ovulation.

Hi Disney! Interesting to see what you said about EWCM on your soy-free cycle. I'm treating my chemical pregnancy like a period but not doing soy. I've had a few days of what I'd consider EWCM but really early on in my cycle (I usually 16-19) so don't know if I've ov'd early or not. If so, I'm pretty sure I've missed my window

I thought you only EWCM just before ov-ing? Can you get a few days of it? I'm so confused & a bit cheesed off

Hi guys,

I'm after some advice: AF arrived this morning meaning I have been trying now for 6 months. Have never tracked cycles before ttc so didn't think anything was different but have discovered my cycles are quite long and irregular (have ranged from 27-35 days) and ov is also late, usually around days 19-21. Not connected to the pill as have never been on hormonal contraceptive.

Do you think taking soy would be beneficial for me? Has anyone taken it for similar reasons? If so, how much and which days? Thanks x

Anyone testing yet?

Hi all. I'm on CD 16 and have had EWCM yesterday and the day before with a strong negative OPK and a temp drop this morning which I think means I will get a pos OPK today and ov tomorrow or today. Took soy 2-6 this month. Don't think it's changed my cycle at all, I normally have a long one and a short one. I "feel" fertile this month which is nice!

Hi loopy, hope you're keeping well, sorry to hear about the cp. I usually get around 3-4 days of ewcm around ovulation including a bit the day after I ovulate I think.

I usually only ever get one day of EWCM so it's thrown me a bit ! We DTD yesterday anyway & probably do it tomorrow. My stupid Ovia app keeps swapping & changing my fertile times which doesn't help, nor the fact that the opks I'm using never show a surge! Why don't they work for me? I know I ovulate as I got pregnant last month, it's so annoying!

Sorry rant over. It's frustrating to have these "tools" to help you can conceive when it actual fact all the day is conFUSE!

Hmm apologies for the odd grammar in that last post

Can anyone help me? My soy was delivered today and says Soy germ complex (2% soy isoflavones) 750mg. How many do I need to take?

I may be wrong poco but I think 750mg is too high a dose, the Max taken is 200mg? Someone may be along soon to correct me though

i wasn't sure because of the 2% part. If it is too high I can always get some different ones (want a bfp but don't want quintuplets! lol)

I know this thread has gone a bit quiet, but in case anyone is still looking - I got my soy BFP this morning!!
I'm in total shock - I was convinced we didn't dtd enough this month and didn't feel at all hopeful.

I took 1000mg days 3-7. It's only cycle 4 for us, but I wanted to strengthen my eggs as I'm pushing 35.

Quite strong line on a frer this morning that came up very quickly. 11dpo. I have been sick with vomitting and diareaha since yesterday - I hope it's a bug and not a sign of things to come!

Good luck everyone

Congrats frolic! Great news.

Pretty sure I'm 2 dpo. Nice short cycle this month, makes such a difference! OVed on day 17 rather than 32. I wish it could be like this every month.

Congratulations frolic. Which cough syrup did you use? Any implantation bleeding

congrats frolic

Can anyone clarify the amount?

Mine say they are 140mg but 100 is red clover and 40mg is soy?

I am not sure how many tablets to tak please help!

Thank you everyone! I'm still in shock. I didn't expect it at all this month. I just did the test so that I could drink whiskey and take sudafed for my cold without feeling guilty. The line came up so fast I thought it was a mistake and dos another. DH and I just keep laughing because we don't know what to say.

Fx for you boys. Long cycles are a bugger. It feels like you have less goes somehow.

iniquity I took wilkinsons own brand guava-thingy cough syrup. Started a week before ov and finished the day before.

vixen. My soy didon't have red clover, just 50mg soy per tablet. I took 100 days 3-8 and didn't up the dose as I got a huge migraine when I took more last month.

Good luck everyone

Congratulations Frolic, great news!!
