    OH I know that doesn't sound like it, but it's actually good news because you have a clear reason for what is going on.

    EVen if you don't have PCOS proper you should still change your diet in a more pink-friendly way. Up protein and fat to 50-60 g each but stay in calorie range. Use whole grains instead of white refined grains. Eliminate sugar. Have full fat dairy ONLY, no skim and no milk replacers.

    And we want you to exercise some even if you can't get up to the full 60 6-7 amount. The benefits to blood sugar are so great for PCOSers that even if it's only moderate, anyone with full blown PCOS will really benefit from it.
    I only give supplements to PCOSers with pretty severe PCOS. Let's wait and hear what the doc has to say.

    No PCOS!! Thank goodness. But one tube is completely blocked and the other is almost completely blocked. Doc wants to try two times and if we're not pregnant, he'd like to do a laparoscopy. I'm pretty bummed. Because I just know the hsg test didn't clear anything out and I have to wait another 2+ months before we can even do the surgery. IF we even do it.

    Oh no I'm so sorry to hear that - but it is treatable.

    Do you want to change anything to do with swaying for upping odds of conception?

    Yes! For sure, I have been lax on everything since we weren't getting pregnant. I guess where is the best thing to start?

    Tell me everything you did that may have been impinging on conception. not so much diet but anything that could be preventing sperm from meeting egg, or recucing sperm count.

    Well, I'm not sure. We were trying the daily release, hubs got burned out, we tried once, hubs hated that, and I did too.

    I found out both of my fallopian tubes were entangled with scar tissue, and I've now had surgery to hopefully remove and repair all of that.

    We have been cleared to try for Sept. I'm skipping breakfast, thinking I should do the LE diet? I just don't know where to start.

    I would have you guys do every 4 day method. Unprotected sex every 72 hours starting after AF ends (or you get the all clear) and going all the way through till you're sure you've ovulated, even if it means going through until BFP or your period starts.

    If you want to start LE Diet that's fine, obviously it will be short notice if you plan to try in Sept. LE Diet is here: https://www.genderdreaming.com/forum...l-version.html

    I've been mildly doing the LE diet, skipping breakfast and watching input loosely since we've been TTC for so long. I've buckled down significantly again.

    I should ovulate towards the end of this week. My pH is low, my BMI is 19, my husband's pH is around 8.5. I can't help but wonder if his higher pH doesn't play a role.
    Also, all boys have been conceived with intercourse day before and day of ovulation, so we'll do the opposite of that!

    So with the 72 hours, we had intercourse this morning (9/16) we would again on 9/20, correct? What if we get a peak OPK in between now and then?

    Thanks!

    What do you mean by "the opposite of that"?

    Please no more weight loss - you're already at the point where I have people hold steady.

    Every 72 hours would be 9/16 and 9/19. It doesn't matter how many hours between really. We're just going for sex every 4th day, and when I say "72 hours" it's simply to explain to people how to count the hours.

    If you get a peak OPK in between, you have a choice to make. For best odds of pink, you'd stick with e4d and not add an attempt. For better chance of conception, possibly a lower chance of pink you'd have anohter attempt. Your choice to make depending on what your preference is.

    Amags- any update? My story is eerily similar to yours- three boys, Catholic NFP, tubes blocked (mine due to endo), etc.
