Also interested in this! Tried last month 200 mg a day but delayed ovulation and caused my period to be late. Trying again this month but lowered the dose. Wondering whether or not to try again if no success this month.

My periods are irregular and I'm not convinced I've been ovulating I've been docs and my hormones are fine etc but it can't mess my cycles up more than they are they're lien 40-90 days long! I've started today taking 4x 40mg capsules so 160mg the last 2 days I'm going to increase to 200mg!

Please do check back Im and let me know how you've got on xx

Sounds similar to me. My periods were very irregular and it was thought I might have pcos but blood tests and ultrasound tests came back normal. I've been using inositol and it's done a great job in making my periods less than 40 days. (Other than last month). I have done a similar dosage to you This month. (100,100, 150, 200,200). Fingers crossed for a bfp for us both!

What CD are you?
Are you temping to know when you ovulate?

Baby dust to you!
Hopefully it'll be our month xxx

I'm currently CD16. Yes helping and using opks. What about you?

Moole · 04/04/2018 00:27

*temping

BHillary · 04/04/2018 07:29

I'm cd 2 although my period can't full force yesterday but nothing at all today so I'm just gonna carry on with the soy I think.

Have you had any obvious ovulation signs ? I've read you can feel them when you take soy?
I'm temping and using opks Haha xx

Yes crippling cramps , on my left side just below my hip bone. (Ultrasound showed I ovulated from my left ovary last month). I never had any signs of ovulating before soy. Also got a positive opk today!!

BHillary · 04/04/2018 22:11

That's good! Minus the pains of course!
Fingers crossed this for you xxx

How are you getting on? Xx

Where do you get your soy from? My cycles have been between 60 and 80 days so I'm seriously considering this

BHillary · 15/04/2018 20:40

I got mine from Tesco's where all the vitamins are xx

OP posts:
Aph413 · 16/04/2018 00:11

Thank you. I'm going to have to find a tesco to acquire some.
What days did you take it?

BHillary · 16/04/2018 06:40

I did 1-5 took my last one 11 days ago still no sign of ovulation x

OP posts:
Aph413 · 16/04/2018 12:16

How long are your cycles usually? I had a quick read back not sure if I missed you saying it.
Im hoping in an 80 day cycle something is better than nothing as far as bringing ovulation forwars for me

Moole · 16/04/2018 14:26

@ BHillary don't think I'm going to be taking it again next month. Not sure what went on, but after my positive opk, I got ewcm for a week and another positive afterwards. My positive opks last for a few hours. I'm concerned that soy is messing with my cycles so going to do the next one 'au naturale' . Hope you have a better experience than I do!

physicskate · 16/04/2018 15:48

I took about 150 mg cd5-9. It resulted in a chemical pregnancy. One of two in the last two years of ttc. I took it for a few cycles after too but no dice. Moved on to 6 cycles of clomid and nothing. Now heading to ivf.

Watch out if you have fibroids though!!

BHillary · 28/04/2018 09:02

I ov'd CD 23 on this cycle which for me is brilliant as I don't usually ovulate at all!
We didn't actually BD at all though when I'd I've been fertile as we were so tired and busy.. typical!
I'm now on the "tww" but I know I'm out this month. 😂

Definitely going to try to do this next month instead of starting the Clomid

So glad it worked for you :) fingers crossed next month will be your month!

polkadotpixie · 28/04/2018 21:20

I did Soy 3 times. My chart showed a much clearer ovulatory temp shift but it always delayed my ovulation (especially at higher doses) as I naturally ovulate on CD14 or CD15

Soy Cycle 1 - 150mg, ovulated CD17 - BFN

Soy Cycle 2 - 200mg, ovulated CD21 - BFN

Soy Cycle 3 - 120mg, ovulated CD17 - BFP
