    Soy Isoflavones confusion - please help!

    This is my first cycle taking SI.
    I am a regular 28/29 day cycle, I use OPKs which normally give me a smiley from day 14.
    I started SI on CD3-7 inclusive.
    This weekend I started feeling nausea from time to time. We also had a road trip which made me feel quite queasy. We do this trip often and normally Im fine.
    My chest seems to have expanded overnight - which last time happened when I was expecting DS.
    These things normally dont happen to me when AF is due.
    AF was due on Friday this week, Im currently 26 and I've started spotting.
    I know I missed my O day as I had EWCM on day 12 but started the OPKs on day 13. I never got a positive. My ovulation day definitely came earlier. Dont think we BDd at the right times.
    However, I still feel nausea and my chest is v v sensitive, plus I'm spotting too.
    Has anyone else had the same thing on SI before?
    I did POAS with FRER yesterday and it was negative
    Do SI make your body react this way ?

    Yea, SI can cause those symptoms. I only used it for one cycle, I did end up pregnant. But I had some unfavorable symptoms that made me not inclined to do it again, even if we were not pregnant. My boobs were sore my whole cycle, I was really bloated after taking it, and it made me really emotional. I was on and off nauseous after ovulation as well, but it went away even though I was preggo...that pregnancy only had motion sickness. Overall, I didn't like soy at all.

    You still could be preggo, if there was any BDing within 5 days leading to O. Some people don't get positives until later. But I wouldn't necessarily deny that SI can cause some weird symptoms throughout a cycle.

    I actually did get a BFN with my DS and got my BFP about a week later..I'm trying not to get my hopes up that this'll turn into a BFP but not likely I'll try soy again.

    The soy has caused some weird things to go on with me too...serious O pains, BLOATING (in caps because I look ridiculous), sore boobs. This is my 3rd cycle on it, and I'll probably drop it if I'm not pg this month...good luck serah!
