surely though, there's more Chinese people in the world than any other race...and I'm guessing that the majority of them eat alot of Chinese food, which has alot of soy sauce in....so doesn't that mean that it's not reflecting their study very well? Maybe it's something to do with race too? ie, if you're of whatever ethnic group, the soy may affect your fertility? just a convo DH and I had about it.

I'm veggie and so DF and me eat a lot of quorn, soya beans, peas AND rhubarb (crumble) do you think this could be affecting us then? I've started to cook real meat for DF but as sperm takes 3months to be produced am i going to have to wait that long to see the fruits of my labour?

(It's so unfair we both hardly drink, are not over weight and not very stressed! I thought we ate quite healthily.)

I don't think the study is talking about pure soy products (ie tofu, miso, soy sauce) but rather soya milk etc - as pixielou said.

I'm not sure whether it makes a difference if the soya milk is organically sourced or not. Oh well, the oat milk I bought yesterday is yum, so I'm happy to try that instead. The problem just comes if I want yoghurt etc.. Well, I won't stress about it too much, but I won't consume loads either.

I can't believe it. Only today I was researching Clomid and came across a number of discussions on soy.

The one's I was reading were recommending soy for ovulation instead of Clomid.

Some women were taking 100mg daily from CD3-8
another 120mg daily from CD3-7
another 120mg in table form of 3 x 40mg pill doses)

The recommendation was to take it like Clomid for 5 days and then stop. The dosage mentioned was between 80 - 200 mg daily.

I am not certain if soy products such as milk and beans etc., fall into the same category as the discussions only referred to tablets. But I was curious and would like to know more about it. I also wondered if soy could be used in conjunction with Clomid.

It looks like I have even more research to conduct now. We could do with a few answers couldn't we. Don't want to mess with anything dodgy so think medical advice might be the best.
