Soy Isoflavones - advice pls

[JS5]

Could anyone with experience using soy isoflavones help please.

Want to give this a go as my cycles vary 35 to 40days. Currently waiting for AF to arrive anytime today or tomorrow.

Natures Best have some but dose seem a little confusing, they've "chosen to isolate isoflavones from soya", so isoflavones only 50mg. But then under the Formula it says 50,000 soya bean extract.

Please can someone advice if this would be the right one to buy. Equally any other places to buy from that are trustworthy

Thank you

@JS5 oh great I'm glad you got your rise!
This is my first cycle on soys, 10th cycle since my last miscarriage, after trying for 5 months to get pregnant that time. So it's been a while but not ridiculously long. I hope this one sticks too!
I have got quite a few bits planned the next few weeks so I'm hoping that it goes by fairly quickly and no dramas.

fingers crossed for you this TWW!

@chutney1 congratulations!! Wishing you all the very best xx

I am back to cd 3.
Had bright red spotting 10dpo then brownish discharge every now and then til 14dpo when my period started. No idea if soy Isoflavones are doing anything positive for me at all.

Currently trying to decide if we might have a couple of months off. I wouldn't like to have my birthday at Xmas or January!

Hows everyone getting on?

Im CD3 today and my flow is much better and less clotting. I started both SI and Ubiquinol last cycle so not sure which has helped. My ovulation it was 2days late and my luteal phase was 1day short so not sure no success using SI last month

When counting days in luteal phase, do we count the AF day too? If counting then my luteal phase was 13days, if excluding then my lutueal phase was 12days

Hello

I'm cd12 here. Taking SI again this month, I dunno why, just to see what happens I guess! Not "trying" this month or next because I wouldn't have wanted my birthday to be in December or January haha.

I don't count AF as luteal phase as that is "day 1" I think??
I had really bad spotting last cycle for about 4 days before AF arrived.

Hows everyone getting on?

This cycle I only took 120mg throughout 3-7, as last cycle my ovulation was late by 2days and put ig down to too much SI. Anyway I'm CD30 and I've either missed my ovulation or still waiting for it. I usually ovulate on day 22 of a 35day cycle.

See photo, I started testing LH on cd17 and since then it's been really low. My usual is 0.15 / 0.25 but this cycle theyve all been significantly low and today I got 0!! 😲 Is it possible I had my peak a day or two before cd17 and that was me coming down?? I've never ovulated this early just seems so bizarre. CD17 test was only on a 3 hour hold I did wonder its abit high as would only get 0.35 on a 5hour+ hold. But ignored it as cd18 was back to normal. Inconveniently I didnt test CD21 and CD22🤦‍♀️. But my rise usually starts 2days before peak so I wouldve seen something on CD20 I'm telling myself

I've been checking BBT and that's also suggesting I've ovulated as the temps are high (but I've just recovered from a cold so dont know)

So confused, any thoughts?

Please don't take soy. I've taken them two cycles - both cycles I got pregnant and I experienced early loss on both.

I also have irregular long cycles. I think soy helps you ovulate but it also messes up the balance of hormones which increases risk of early loss.

Personally - I have 36 to 60+ day cycles. I induced a bleed using progesterone pill and then withdrawing it. I took soy for 5 days. On day 20 I ovulated. 11 dpo I got a positive. By 5 weeks I was bleeding and lost it. Same thing happened on the second round, though I took the maximum and ovulated later, still miscarried around 5 weeks.

I have had another pregnancy before these without soy, which was healthy.

Hello

Just an update here;
Last month I took soy Isoflavones day 1-5.
I ovulated day 16.
My luteal phase was 13 days

This month I did not take soy Isoflavones.
I ovulated day 17
My luteal phase was 14 days.

Overall the months I have taken them vs the months I haven't have made no difference so I won't take them again going forward.

Hi all,

Just jumping on in case anyone is searching for soy isoflavones and ttc.

I took them last cycle cd 2-6, started on 160mg for days 2,3 and 4 and upped to 200 for days 5 and 6.

It was the only thing I did different this month and got my BFP on 8DPO after not even a hint of a line for 7 months after a CP. I’m now 4 weeks 5 days pregnant. Could be a coincidence but thought I’d add my experience.
