Thanx Angel will have a look on anazon cant beat that site :-)

Hi ladies.... just letting you know what soy and dosage I took and then got my bfp! I just bought the soy isoflavones by nature way I think at Walmart. I took the equivalent dosage that I was taking with clomid. I was on 100mg clomid so that is equivalent to 200mg for soy. (it is double to equal the clomid) I took it days 4 through 8. The earlier you take it in your cycle it helps with egg maturation and quality... if you take it later days like 5 through 9 then it helps more with O. I took 4 tabs (40mg) first two days then 5 the rest. I got my bfp just about a week ago! good luck ladies!

And it can interfere with opks... just like clomid... so opks won't be accurate until a day or two after stopping the soy.

Cj---awesome and thank u, that is what i am taking since issues with "O' some cycles, so 3-7 seemed to be the happy medium at 200mg...and thank u for the info, not much out there on it affecting the opk's, I know clomid can affect them giving false pos. but wasn't sure with the soy iso's thank u :) this mornings opk was nearly a pos...but only cd 5 so weird, but with me who knows weird seems to be the norm, and i know with our youngest that i got pregnant the day after i finished AF...so guess anything is possible....also big temp dip this morning which for me usually is the day of "O" so will see what happens, if the temps jump back up next few days, just trying not to go all OCD on it again, LOL

Ok AF just started i have a 4 day AF when should i take the soy? It says its for menopause?????

I am taking my soy iso's CD 3-7...some do 2-6, 1-5, or 5-9...but from reading the 3-7 is the happy medium for eggs and quality..

Thanx Angel ill try that :-)

FX to our BFP's

Just checking in. I'm still stimming. I know this is going to be gibberish to most of you, but to those who like stats, here come the stats! Right now I've got:

RO 15.3mm, 15.1, 14.2, 14.0, 13.0, 12.4 (plus a bunch of < 10s)
LO 13.1, 13.0, 12.8, 11.7, 10.9 (plus a bigger bunch of < 10s)
Lining 7.57mm

My E2 is 487, which is more than double from Sunday and everything looks terrific. The nurse said it's possible that some of the under 10s can get into the race. She said things look way better than they did our last IVF cycle (which resulted in our daughter) - exciting! Going back in on Thursday, it's looking like I'll trigger on Saturday or Sunday, which will make retrieval Monday or Tuesday.

Angel, the soy isos will def affect the OPK - just like Clomid does. Keep testing AFTER you've completed the soys, right now, the temps and OPKs are not very reliable.

Kraken... Good luck with the soy isos.

essemkay... Wohoo!! That sounds like you will have at least 10 good follies if not more! Definitely a much better outcome so far than your AFC... :) I am praying that there will be that one good egg for you!!!!

AFM: I had my anatomy scan yesterday and my little girl is just looking perfect!! So, definitely no genetic testing for us now. I passed the half-way mark last week and now I am just looking forward to starting my mat leave. In a way, I am lucky to be in Germany with this pregnancy - mat leave starts 6 weeks before the due date and then I can take a year off after delivery. Very much looking forward to the time off. My DS is starting primary school in September and I am glad that I will have a bit more time for him. Likely, I won't go back to a working full time after my leave. I'll probably cut my hours to 30/week or so.

torontochick, congrats for hitting the half-way mark! And you're rounding the corner on the viability date as well. YAY!! Sounds like we should all move to Germany - what fabulous maternity benefits!

Hi Ladies... Am lurking back on this thread after a long hiatus. I am 42 and TTC #3. I am currently DPO10 according to FF but DPO12 according to this website chart. IDK which is accurate (depending on the day I O'ed as I had four days of +OPKs this cycle). I had unbelievable excessive tooting yesterday and today (am a gas factory on overdrive!). This morning after tooting so much, I had unusual dark blackish/greenish soft stools (sorry TMI) and light pinkish spotting when checking inside CP. My AF isnt due until Jan. 28th. So IDK if this is early AF symptoms or early preg symptoms? Any of your ladies have similar experience? I never had this "baby poop" so early in the morning (7am) before! Any advices would be greatly appreciated. TIA...
