Since you have been taking the soy isoflavones. Have a couple of questions. If we don't get pg this cycle I only have 1 more change to get pg before dh leaves. But I have to be able to O a bit early. Am I right if I take them on CD1 I could O earlier? How much do you take? Any side effects?

If you're on CD1 you can start taking it 3-7, 4-8 or 5-9... when do you normally O?

My suggestion would be to take it from 5-9 to get an O right around CD14ish, when I took it any earlier the odd thing was my O would move back.

The first cycle I took 80mg's then bumped it up to 160mg's... you could start on the 160mg's if you're really trying to get instant results tho I've read many women starting at varying doses from 80, 120, 160 (even more altho I wasn't too sure I'd go higher)

I noticed things like nausea, headache, emotional and stuff but it wasn't every cycle either that I got side effects. They weren't THAT bad either. Altho one cycle I dipped pretty low emotionally, but I think that had allot to do with EDD's and finding out about my lost tube etc...

I'd suggest trying Geritol and lemon water too, it couldn't hurt

Any more ?'s ask away and I'll try to answer them when I get home from work tonight

I been O on CD 17-18, and next month I would have to O earlier to get another chance to get pg before dh leaves.
Thanks for the info, secretly I'm hoping I don't need to do it, but wnat to be prepare.

Just adding my .02

My last 3 cycles I O'd on CD 17/18.
My last cycle I took 110mg CD3-7.
This cycle I upped the soy to 165mg and took it on days 1-5. I O'd on CD14 this cycle IDK if I O'd early from the soy or what, but I'm happy i did!
As far as side effects, I'd get a headache about an hour after i took it, but I'd take it at night, so i didn't notice any other side effects.

I started with the Geritol and Lemon water at the start of my cycle and throughout my cycle.



Another question--- is soy supposed to dry out your CM like Clomid does?? I didnt really notice much cm this cycle. I took 80 mg of soy days 6-10
