Many multiple Pregnancies from Soy Isoflavones

While many women attempt to take soy isoflavones in order to increase their chances of becoming pregnant with twins, there is actually no data regarding how effective that it is and if it is safe to take.

 Some experts even believe that they can actually cause infertility because of their tendency to make a woman’s cycle irregular.


However, others believe that they will work much like the popular drug Clomid because of the similarity between the ways that they both have on estrogen pathways. It is possible that taking these supplements will help you start ovulating and can increase your chances of double ovulation.

The way that they work is that the woman will take the soy isoflavones for five days before she is ready to begin trying to conceive. They will then work to block estrogen in the body so that the body will not ovulate during this time. After the five day period, she will then stop taking the supplement so that her body will see that it is time to ovulate.


When she begins ovulating, it is possible that two eggs will drop because of the control that she now has on her ovulation cycle. During this time, it is also best to track the ovulation cycle using either an ovulation predictor kit or a basal thermometer in order to make sure that ovulation is occurring while taking the supplements.
