SOY ISOFLAVONES - Your experience, whether you swayed for a Girl or a Boy:

Age:
27
Gender you were swaying for:
Had been swaying girl previous months

Gender specific tactics you used/supps/etc, i.e. for a girl antihistimine or boy sperm friendly lubricant, etc alongside soy isoflavones:
The month we conceived we had taken a break from hard core swaying to try and induce ovulation.
I was keeping to low cal diet and had lost weight that month.

Cycle you conceived on/how long did you use soy isoflavones:
I think 5 days

Days Soy Isoflavones were taken:
I think CD 5-9 I'll have to check. I know it was the latest of the recommended days as I had trouble sourcing it and finally got some in the nic of time

Dosage on those days:
I'll have to double check the dose...

Side effects: none. Took them at night.

DPO you got your BFP: around 10dpo

Did ovulation date change (if using opks or cbfm):
Didn't track it myself had bloods done by gp CD 21 I think it was and she said they were normal? I normally o late but hadn't been o'ing at all due to breastfeeding
Gender resulted:
Twin boys (identical so not the result of hyper ovulation)

Age: 29

Gender you were swaying for: girl

Gender specific tactics you used/supps/etc, i.e. for a girl antihistimine or boy sperm friendly lubricant, etc alongside soy isoflavones:
Le diet, vegetarian

Cycle you conceived on/how long did you use soy isoflavones: 8th cycle TTC, 2nd soy cycle

Days Soy Isoflavones were taken: I'm pretty sure it was cd3-cd7/8

Dosage on those days: incremental, 100, 100, 150, 200

Side effects: headaches.

DPO you got your BFP: 13dpo

Did ovulation date change (if using opks or cbfm): no

Gender resulted: boy

General overall experience/anything else you'd like to add: I started soy in desperation to get pregnant. In hindsight I think the reason I hadn't fallen pregnant was due to my tilted uterus (I found this out in my bfp cycle) and we had always DTD missionary and the propped up with pillows.
As soon as we DTD from behind I fell pregnant.
I think soy contributed to me having a boy, I had dropped pretty much all sway aspects, except le diet, had plenty of ewcm, AND I'd strengthened by eggs with soy, I don't know why I ever thought for a moment that this baby could be a girl!

Omg now I'm scared. If soy iso sways girl why is everyone having boys? Any girl results out there for soy iso?

My understanding was that they swayed boy.
Vitex and clomid sway girl.
I took it in desperation to fall pregnant, I knew it was boy sway product but thought I'd take the gamble.

I'm only aware of one soy girl on this thread

WHAT? Atomic says she believes they sway girl majorly, so I took them this month! Eeek. Will try vitex next month if I don't conceive. I had 2 boys drinking soy and did believe that swayed boy due to nutrients but atomic assures me soy iso is exactly like clomid and sways girl...

Really?? I didn't know this, my understanding always was boy, it strengthens egg, increases fertility....

I pm'd her about it specifically due to my past experience with soy milk, and he said she believes it sways girl with every fibre of her being. I have seen a lot of boys result from soy though! Eeeek too late now

I know a lot of vegetarian, or vegan mums out there that drink lots of soy milk that have a lot of girls.

Perhaps Soy effects different women in different ways. If it's causing lots of EWCM and other things that indicate fertility is improved then perhaps it sways blue in those cases and those particular women should stop if they wish to sway pink. I'd just watch for signs and try to listen to what your body is communicating to you.

Atomic is the expert so if she believes it sways pink then it means she has done an absolute wealth of research, she wouldn't say that lightly. Ignore what I said, I obviously misunderstood somewhere along the line, sorry for the confusion :(
