Question

CLOMID AND SOY USE

Does anyone know how long you're supposed to use Clomid for? Can it be used for over 6 months? What about Soy? Can that be used after taking Clomid for 6 months? Any advice would be really appreciated. Thank you and Baby Dust!

It's not recommended that clomid be used for more than 6 months, it will eventually ruin ur lining and cm, but that decision is between u and ur doctor. SI is supposed to be 6 months as well, but I used it for over a year without issue. It can be used after clomid, it may help with lining and cm, but thats something that differs from person to person. I took SI with my clomid. Clomid am, SI pm, then I added an estrogen becuz I had zero fertile cm and my lining had me down to spotting for periods. The cycle I added that, I got my BFP! I guess it depends on how desperate u are and what chances u wanna take. I was willing to forfeit a cycle to see if something did/didnt work, I knew eventually it wouldnt be a forfeit, it'd be a BFP.
Good luck! =))

I really am grateful for your detailed reply dakotagurrl, thank you. I took Clomid without the consent of my doctor, I know bad but they are not willing to help as I don't seem to have any fertility issues. I also have Soy available which I'm going to start this cycle since you said it's ok to take after Clomid. About the estrogen, do you know where I can get that from? Or can you tell me if it's tablets or pessaries? And the name as well so I can do some research and get some. It will be too late to take this cycle but I'll go with just the Soy for now as I've finished my 6 month dose of Clomid :(. And one last thing, how is the estrogen taken? Is it the whole cycle or after ovulation. I'm sorry for all the questions. Thank you! :)

I had the same issue with my gyn. He tested us and nothing was wrong so he wanted me to wait 3 more months before he would prescribe me clomid...at the lowest dose, of course. I'm impatient so I self-medicated. Dbl check the iso dose, sometimes serving sizes vary so u may waste a cycle if u dont take enough...its gonna seem weak after taking clomid tho. The estrogen I got from my clomid dealer, its estriol (E3), the weakest of the estrogens, but still effective. My brand was Evalon Forte, theyre 2mg tablets. I took them from the day after my last clomid/soy, til O. I had great ewcm and apparently a good lining. But yeah, dont take the estrogen while taking a blocking agent, take it after and up til a cpl days after O (if ur worried about lining), it will mess with temps. U can also add black cohosh 120mg cd1-12. Its another phytoestrogen, like soy, but much weaker. If ur doing the estrogen, u could try clomid again, thats 100% ur call tho! =))

Very many thanks dakotagurrl you have been ever so helpful. You were a success story so let's hope I become successful too. I'll order the Estriol and use it the way you have recommended but I won't get it this cycle so will only use Soy and then next cycle (hopefully I get my BFP before then) I'll use the Estriol. Once I get that I'll also decide on if I should continue with the Clomid and Soy together or not, it's nice to know there are a few options out there. I wish you all the best of luck and I will update you on what happens. I'm truly grateful for your help, thank you! :D
