Hello all! New to the group here. Little backstory: I have a ds (6) and had a mc July of 2011. Since then haven't been able to conceive. Just got aunt flow today do I'm pretty bummed to say the least. Been reading in the group and read about soy. What kind of soy is it that you're supposed to take? Milk? Idk. And has anyone tried preseed? I have been experienced a bad case of vaginal dryness lately and I know that can damper things. And how can you determine how long your luteal phase is? My periods have been like clockwork lately. Any info would be greatly appreciated. I have a tip that maybe y'all know if not well maybe y'all can try: the 5 days leading up to ovulation, knaw on pineapple core. Don't eat it and don't eat too much pineapple (the acid and your lining) but there's something in the core that makes your lining more 'sticky' if you will. Lol. Maybe that will help someone.

Well its soy isoflavones & it has to be that type of soy specificly to work right, u take anywhere from 80-200mg on 5 days of ur cycle (no more) starting on CD1-5 through CD5-9. It works in ur body as a SERM, like clomid, lots of women have great luck with it. U take it in pill form. Can be purchased cheap at walmart/amazon etc.

Second, LP, ur luteal phase is the time from ovulation until ur next af shows, anywhere from 11-17 days is considered normal/healthy, B6 can help lengthen it if its short. Ur O can vary but LP typically remains the same & if ur cycles r like clock work then ur O is likely the same too.

Third, pineapple, yes pineapple is great for implantation, u eat it for 5 days starting 1 dpo :) the core is highly concentrated with a chemical that helps implantation!!!

Fourth, preeseed, great tool, also evening primrose oil or robitussin work great to increase cm :) used up until O only, not after.

Okay, so I bought the soy.  Took 120mg on CD2, then that evening took another 120mg.  I did the same thing on CD3 and so far today I have only taken just one dose of 120mg.  Will taking 240mg /day hurt me?  I guess it's just me wanting to make sure I ovulate.  I feel tinges in my left adnexal area, and I scanned my ovaries (ultrasound) and I have follicles :-)

You scanned your own ovaries? Where did you buy an u/s?

Haha, it's my job.  I'm a sonographer.  So while at work on some off time, I will go into one of the rooms and peek at my ovaries. :-)

If u take too much it can have an opposite effect :/ 240mg is the max dosage & usually u want to take it all at once, idk if it'll make a difference, just gotta wait & see now I guess lol. Don't take it anymore than 5 days either or like clomid it'll do the opposite!!!

Also how did u scan ur ovaries? Its a bit early to already have substantial enough follicles to see on u/s i'd thing :/ hummmmm
