Soy rocks! I love the stuff! My daughter is a soy/clomid baby and my son (current pregnancy) is a soy only baby. The stuff is awesome, imo!
Time of day is up to u, they can cause headaches so if ur not able to deal with that, then take 'em before bed. First thing in the am is when most take it tho. With food as well, they can be a bit harsh on the stomach if ur taking higher doses.

Not gonna lie, ur wasting ur time if u do any less than 100mg. Being 50mg pills, u don't have a lot of room to play with doses, so its really up to u as to how much of a bang u want. Stay under 200mg til u have done it for a bit.

Days to take it are debatable. U can start any cd from 1 to 5, and it's taken for 5 days. The later u take it, the longer ur making ur cycle. Basically, the earlier days produce more eggs but less matured. 3-7 is avg. And later days are likely to produce only 1 egg but it will be (or at least should be) mature.

My successes with soy have been days 2-6 (current) and 4-8 (past). Not sure if u use opks or not, but def get some if u don't have any. Ur cm should increase from ur norm so it's not always a great indicator of when u actually O. U will most likely have O pains tho. It's not a great feeling but nothing Tylenol can't fix.
With opk's, do not, I cannot stress this enough, do not test until u are 3 days past ur last pill. Soy alters ur estrogen and lh levels, it's very common to have lh surges while on, and shortly after taking the supplement. U are not O'ing. U should O about 5-10 days after ur last pill, possibly later if u don't respond well to the supplement, but it rarely happens before 5 days. It's just not enough time for things to get back in order.

There are the basics of Soy. Welcome to the Iso World. Hope ur stay is a brief one!! Good luck! =))
U can msg me if u have any questions.

Thank you for your reply dakotagurl and congratulations on you recent pregnancy!

What was the strength you used when you had success? ?

All the best xx

Thank u! =))
My pills were 60mg so I took 300mg 4-8 for my daughter, and this one was 240mg 2-6. I've done over 15 cycles of the stuff so high doses like that don't affect me as much as it should. U def don't wanna try that yet.
