anyone trying soy this month?

[Beansprout30]

I know there is already a thread but would be interested in hearing from anyone else who has started on it. Any side effects and why did you decide?

First time for me, going into cycle 7 and no hint of a bfp. Ovulation normally around cd 20 but last cycle was 10 days later! Luteal phase also varies for me 9-12 days so wanted to see if soy might help

Hi Beansprout - I have taken soy past 2 cycles, because my periods would be about 3 months long, I have acupuncture to regulate them and I use soy to encourage ovulation. For the first time ever this month have had a positive OPK, although I didn't ovulate until CD 29, but that's better than every 3 months. I am currently 8dpo and will be early testing on Friday. My last luteal phase was 14days. I am 5 months into trying!

I had no side effects that I am aware of although I seem to have a lot more EWCM than usual since taking Soy, can only see that as a good side effect though?

I'm going to try it this month. I don't think I am currently ovulating (temps haven't confirmed ovulation this month, I'm on CD16 of a 26/27 day cycle) so going to see if Soy can give me any results. Going to try day 2-6 of 100mg to see what results are.

Sounds like it's definitely doing some good for you glinda. I hope it helps with ewcm for me too! I took it from cd3-7 this cycle currently on cd8 so have some waiting to do to see if it's made any difference to ovulation.

Be great if you could report back if it works for you both

Yes hopefully so, not sure it is my month this month. 10dpo, AF due on 4th so going to try to hold out until then.

Good luck to you and I will of course let you know :)

I got my first postivie OPK last night, but my Clear Blue monitor hasn't given me a peak yet. Looking forward to starting the soy next month!

Good luck both, im only on cd10 so ages to wait till ovulation, this waiting does my head in!! Raaa!

Hi both,

AF will be here for me tomorrow now, not my month! Will be upping my dosage of SI this month because I didn't OV until cd29 this month, which will mean I had a 42 day cycle. Wasn't nice.

I will take days 1&2 - 150g and days 3,4&5 200g. I obviously need something stronger so will bring this closer to clomiphene dosage. How you feeling beansprout? Do you know if you are close to OV yet?

Did you get your peak yet jellypi?

No peak but I did get a positive OPK and a temp rise and FF has confirmed ovulation so I guess I'll see what happens!!

Just to report back I ovulated on cd 17 I think, very happy with that it's the earliest ovulation ive had since coming off oill, now 1dpo so into the 2ww. Hope it's our month.
