Super Soy for a girl or a boy!

When I was researching how to bring back my fertility to try for DS2 while I was breastfeeding DS1 I came across people using it while breastfeeding to kick start ovulation.
I'm tempted by it too because I'd love twins, I think breastfeeding itself increases our chances of twins though. There's a study out there somewhere that says women who conceive while breastfeeding have something like a 12% chance of twins! It sounds too high to me but I hope it's true!

BF does increase odds of twinning, I doubt by 12% tho!! That does seem high.

Because you take them for such a short time, it's probably ok. I would feed in the am, take the soy, and then wait until that evening to feed again to ensure you've metabolised them.

Can the Soy make you ovulate early? I took it from cd 3-8 then ovulated on day 11, which was yesterday. Holy EWCM!!! TMI but it was the most I have EVER had. I am worried that maybe I am entering perimenopause (at 35) cause of weird periods lately....hoping the SI may cause the early O!

There was a study that says women who conceive while breastfeeding are 9 times more likely to conceive twins. I haven't seen the actual study though, I've just seen it reported.

I wished I would have asked this at the beginning of last cycle :) oh well! Now I have something to look forward to if I do get a BFN!

Yes, it absolutely can make you ovulate early, just like Clomid.

Right, I've read that as well - but 9 times more likely does not necessarily mean 12% of all women who conceived via breastfeeding, KWIM?? So many factors go into twinning that the odds for one person aren't going to be the same for others. Here's an article about the study. Want twins? New studies suggest how to increase your odds

I think the rate in his study was 12.4%. I know that the odds are just an average, and that they don't apply individually.

Hi Ladies,
I am interested in taking soy isoflavones next cycle. I am 40 tho, and I know some things (like Clomid) aren't recommended for my age. Would it be ok for me to try soy? I am desperate to get a bfp ASAP, I have had 3 cycles of BFN, (first one just not preventing, then 2 swaying girl).
