I believe you are supposed to take double the mg of soy as what clomid dosage made you ovulte.

If you O'd on 100mg Clomid, you should take 200mg soy.

I'm starting my soy cycle today, and will be taking 240mg soy, because the pills are in 40mg increments.

I am getting ready to try Soy as well, I was told that you have to take exactly twice the mg of Soy as you did on Clomid...I don't know how much truth there is to it. I have mostly seen that people start with 80 mg first cycle and see how it does and up it by 40 mg on the next..

Well, STILL no AF yet this cycle, so I don't really have updates. I DID buy the soy, but haven't had the chance to use it yet!

I did have my annual gyn appt today and hesitantly agreed to start 500mg met/day. SO, now I'm questioning doing 2 new things at once (if I happen to come across AF in the next few days-weeks, which I should). I guess I'll see how I feel at the time. Tonight was my first dose of Met so of couse I feel fine as of now, but I'm sure I'll know more in the next few days.

I did not discuss soy with my gyn and I don't know that I would despite it probably being a good idea. I really don't want to hide things from her in this type of situation, but yet she's really hesitant to start me on clomid w/out trying met first, so I'm assuming soy would be the same.

I'll keep you updated!

Has any of the other newby's tried it yet!?

This was my first soy cycle. I took 120mg days 3-7 and I actually O'd on CD16 which is a miracle for me! I'm currently in the 2WW.

hi all

I am wondering if anyone out there has tried clomid and then soy in other cycles and noticed any difference with CM? I noticed that my EWCM disappeared in the second and third cycles of clomid and would like to try soy but not sure if it will do the same to my CM...there is a bit of scientific evidence around the clomid does compromise the sperm friendly CM.....can anyone comment on soy?

Thanks for any help
