My understanding is that soy is ok for older ladies TTC. It doesn't have the same stuff in it that raises FSH and in fact may even lower it. So you get the benefit of the Clomid without the potential to affect egg quality negatively.

So when TTC pink, can DH take soy and licorice root? If not, which is better? The past 2 times he has been on everything to increase quality and we will soon be expecting DS2!

DH can EAT soy (soy milk, tofu, etc) and take licorice root. I don't think DH should take soy until we have more data.

Thank you! I will contact you for a personalized plan closer to when we are TTC, but how long before can/should DH start taking licorice root?

No sooner than 2 cycles/6 weeks before attempt - so he'd take it AF -O the month before your first attempt, and then AF-O the month OF your first attempt.

Doh! How did I only notice the part about not taking it while breastfeeding now, on CD3, when I plan to take it tonight? Argh! I might go ahead because during the work week he really only feeds maybe once at night. He's 2 1/2 years old, if that matters. I suppose I'm taking it at my own risk? I still think I'll go ahead since breast milk isn't his main source of nutrition and just be mindful during the five days to offer him a drink of something else if he asks for milk...

Sorry if I missed it, trying to read through discretely at work- where do you buy Soy Isoflavones? Would Whole Foods carry in their supplement section?

No, I don't think it would matter for a 2 1/2 year old that's nursing once a day. I always try to err on the side of conservative because there have been people exclusively EBF a 3 month old who want to take the full gamut of supplements and obviously we can't have that, but it's a totally diff. scenario to your situation.
We're taking EVERYTHING at our own risk - remember, even things that have been well studied and approved by the FDA are often found to cause problems years later!!!!!! Questions?? Check out the NEW and improved Complete Index !!!

Atomic, this may sound crazy but I’ve been reading about moon phases… I have a ‘red moon cycle’ currently which I didn’t used to have. Meaning my period is coinciding with the full moon. From...
