Hello,

we started trying for girl again.

I have lost about 4-5 kg since december, my BMI is 19,2 right now. I have 53,5 kg. Three month of trying with one attempt did not work - I know three month is nothing........ I had every day one cup of coffee because I had none with my boys, try to avoid meat as much as I can and I am a couch potatoe because I really do not know where to take the time for cardio 4 to 5 days a week (full time job, kids, dh is self employed and works 6 days a week for 12 hours). Not much time left - happy when I meet the couch in the evening.... Additionally I take alchemilla tincture because that helped my to stretch my 2. half of the cycle (usually had 10/11 days, first month taking 12, second 12, this time 16!!! days) - and with my last three pregnancies I always had to take progesterone because of bleedings. Except of that I do only take folic and nothing else. No tea, not j&d, really just diet, and the alchemilla.

Now my question is how to go on because I am afraid of loosing more weight and maybe stop ovulating or something. I am eating three meals, not fasting, just the meals and no snacking....Oh and I can not eat eggs! Allergic against it...

I would like to continue the alchemilla for this month, have you heard of it and what do you think about it?

Is it better to do the e4d + one at pos. opk?

Thank you!

Eat more. Just increase calories until the weight stops coming off. Whatever it takes to keep the weight on. It doesn't need to be eggs.

I don't recommend any herbs for extending LP. I can't tell you how any of them sway or if they are safe. 10-11 day LP is perfectly fine and long enough to conceive with. You don't need to fix that. It is unlikely your LP was really 16 days, I think it's more likely your ovulation was delayed from the weight loss.

I want you to try e4d at least 2 months before going to e4d plus one. e4d plus one is more blue friendly than e4d.

yes CD 16 makes more sense to me.
