What do u mean by overdosing? U would need to take a lot of iso's to reach an overdose. What doses were u looking at taking? If u havent done them before or taken clomid, 80mg for a first cycle would actually make a difference. U could also do 160 for the first cpl days then drop ur dose. Theres no right or wrong, just play around with it til u see what does and doesnt work for u. Black Cohosh is another phytoestrogen, much weaker than soy but it does make somewhat of a diff to a cycle.
Lemme know if u want some help or ideas.
Good luck!! =))

Thanks for responding. From what I read, you don't really want to exceed 200mg, so that it's what I meant, I don't really want to go over that. I would appreciate any help or ideas you could give me. With our first daughter, we had stopped actively trying because I was very unhealthy and under weight so getting pregnant was truly a miracle. Now I am much healthier, definitely not underweight and have made very big steps towards a healthier lifestyle. Been ttc since August and been off bc pills since June. Not getting pregnant is killing me. Any help would be a blessing.

I never paid attention to the "maximum" levels crap, tbh. They compare SI to clomid but half the strength, then they say dont take more than 200mg yet the max of clomid is 200mg. Go by what ur body tells u. All Ive ever read about exceeding the "max" dose, is not to do it...never why. Ive never done under 200 and have yet to have an issue. Dont get me wrong, Im not telling u to start at 200 and go up from there, Im just saying the big "do not exceed" warning, imo, is bs. U can try a cycle at 80-100 and see what needs to be tweeked from there for the next cycle. Play with days and doses, sometimes its not so much the dose as it is the days taken...and vice versa.
My BFP cycle was SI 1-3 @ 320, Clomid 4-8 @ 150 and Black Cohosh 1-12 @ 120mg. Eventually u will find ur combo.
