Soy isoflavones are purported to do a very similar job to clo.mid so I thought as this month is obviously going to be a bust too, especially with all the stress I've been buried under, I would experiment on myself and see if they messed up my cycle completely.
Feeling as if I was tempting fate I bought a menopause multi-vitamin which came with with a separate herbal supplement of soy isoflavones which was on special offer at a local pharmacy (I'm nothing if not cheap). I took out 5 pills and then carefully put the menopause vitamins away for a very rainy day.
I took 120mg of isoflavones (100mg from the herbal and 20mg from the multivit) on cd4-8 and I ovulated early, day 11 I believe, with lots of sharp, crampy ovulation pain. I couldn't possibly say if this is what helped us get pregnant but I thought I'd put it out there in case anyone might be interested.
thank you so much for sharing this.

Who knows, Barb? But I hope this does help someone reading. I'd love to think it might end up being a "miracle cure" for someone else who is having trouble conceiving.
ReplyDeleteWell, another couple of days down. Many more to go I know, but each one you cross off is a blessing.

Oy Lady, I would be very intttterrrested...
ReplyDeleteI am off to research Dr. Google on your find too...and look for formulations containing same...
Thanks for sharing.
Dell is a Soy baby! I totally think this is what help me. He is the only pregnancy I have had that didn't involve spotting or bleeding. I totally think the Soy was responsible and kept my progesterone levels nice and high. I got pregnant my first cycle with Soy. Also, if anyone is interested to try it... Soy can have drying effects on your cervical mucous much like Clomid can. So I took Mucinex (guaifenesin) tablets 2-3 times a day to thin my secretions and make them more sperm friendly (lol). Take it until you confirm ovulation. Just a little tip.
ReplyDeleteBarbara I could not be more happy for you!
I read about the soy isoflavones and was going to try it my next cycle but ended up not needing it. I have heard a lot of success stories with it!
