Hi and welcome Baby286! It's easiest for me if you post your questions just once. I try hard to answer every post and it makes it way easier if I don't have to do the same question several times.
You need to stay on the diet till BFP. Don't go off and on the diet during the 2WW. It's ok to have an occasional cheat and if you're having trouble with the diet, please talk to me about it - often there are very easy changes to make that will help you stick with it in the long term.

Hi Atomic, so if I want a girl and have little to no weight to lose (my BMI is 19.4 and I’m 1 kilo shy of my lowest adult weight) and do cardio 4-5 times a week, according to this post I should not be on the diet longer than 4-6 weeks, is that correct? I started LE diet on the 1st of September and I’m on CD10 now. I do coffee, fibre, alcohol and cardio and plan to do one attempt at positive OPK. Should I attempt in October or November?

I would make some changes along the LE direction, like cutting out fortified foods, cutting back on protein, getting more protein and fat from vegetable sources rather than animal, but keep cals high till nearer go time.

Agree. And how long on a diet? Still 12+ weeks?

If you can without losing too much weight! If it's a huge struggle you may want to try more like 8-10 weeks on diet instead. Most people don't end up getting pregnant the first month out anyway.
What I DON"T want to see anyone do is to think "well if 12 weeks is good, 6 months is better" LOL and then do a strict diet for 6 months or more, getting really depleted, and then and only then start trying (usually this type of person is also doing a strict sway that makes it impossible to conceive.) I don't want to see anyone going on and on not trying or trying so strictly that there's no chance of conception.

No worries! If I don't ask for the way that's best for me, I won't get it! Thank you!

I actually put on weight in this diet I think it’s because I eat less protein (meat, eggs) that would normally feel me up so instead I eat much more carbs to feel full -otherwise I feel like I’m starving! What should I do? Help!
