Ok. I like everything and do drink kombucha but not homemade- the tasty kind with juice in it. Trying to eat a wide variety of things now, and actually love to try all different foods. The HE diet is quite liberating. I feel bad for people on the LE diet

yes, you can use the strips or fertility monitor to see if you're getting close. Or, if it makes you too nervous, you can always just skip that step. That having been said, we've seen WAY more accidental conceptions with people trying to skip it and then getting carried away, than those who were deliberately trying to have sex out of the fertile window (I think because the former group just wasn't paying attention to what was going on).
Yep that's the thing, it's a risk for probably little to no benefit so I'd not go that route personally unless you really believe it to be beneficial.!!! Questions?? Check out the NEW and improved Complete Index !!!

That is perfect! Keep up the good work!
Many people do find the HE Diet challenging because they're light eaters normally. We all just tend to want to stick with what we're used to!
Diet looks spot on. If you need to drop anything, let it be the dried fruit as you don't need dried fruit in addition to the carbs in the apple and the nuts/seeds.!!! Questions?? Check out the NEW and improved Complete Index !!!

So far I haven’t gained any weight but if I need to I could drop it or sub in a protein for the dried fruit. It is goji berries, black and white mulberries (no added sugar) are those ok or too weird? I’m trying to keep it lots of variety but not TOO weird in case some of the weird stuff has megadoses of stuff in it!

It's fine to continue if you like them. It's just that due to old holdovers from the "mineral diets" people treat dry fruit as a MUST HAVE for blue, and it is just basically pure sugar. So anyone having trouble gaining too much weight and eating dried fruit, it's not necessary and is a really easy thing to drop (esp. if you're eating nuts, seeds, or apple instead as that's all carbs). Fine to continue, and goji berry and mulberry should be good!
The only thing you need to worry about with megadoses is fortified foods and vitamins. Our bodies are great at taking just what they need from food, it's only when we take it in a highly concentrated form we have issues.!!! Questions?? Check out the NEW and improved Complete Index !!!

Sway coming up! Nervous
Ok good to know. I only have about 1/4c which I think is around 100 cals. I’m just trying to hold steady on weight not gain or lose. But if I need to up my protein I could sub in those cals for something else, but wanted to add in whatever benefit from the nutrients in those berries too.
Did the ovulation strip last night so we could dtd without pullout of course negative as baby is only 7 months. I just don’t want to get preg till she is at least 11/12 months old.
It’s starting to get hot and sunny here so trying to get out in the sun as much as possible!

Perfect, that's fine!! As long as you're not looking for something to cut to prevent weight loss it's all good to continue with a little dried fruit. It's just that so many people think they MUST eat it when they really don't have to, and it is very very calorically dense.
In addition to the OPK strips be on the lookout for any signs fertility is returning - increased libido, EWCM, ovulation pain (which can come even 7-10 days before O) and if you're noticing anything like that be sure to use protection even if OPK is negative. False neg on OPK are possible!!!! Questions?? Check out the NEW and improved Complete Index !!!

Totally fine to miss a day on meat!! I did that with some frequency when I got my boys but was always eating some other protein food - eggs, dairy, beans, nuts - instead.
