Ok thanks it turned negative last night but we did an attempt anyways

The OPK going negative doesn't mean anything as to when you ovulated. You can ovulate never getting a positive test, you can ovulate if your tests stay dark for days after, and you can ovulate after your test goes negative. The tests don't really tell you about anything other than that a surge of hormone has taken place. It doesn't matter how long the test stays dark for.

Interesting thanks! I'm thinking maybe I ovulate before I'm even getting a positive! Ugh so thought this was my month but its 10 days after ovulation was so gearing up to start testing abd Aunt Flo came 4 says early same thing happened last month!

Yes I'd def. start up with e4d in this case!

Can you not just dial it back without throwing it out the window??

People have a misconception that if they can't do EVERYTHING they may as well do nothing. Not so. The time you've spent on diet will still help you, just gradually ease off the things that are making you the most crazy.

It makes no sense to me to give it 5 months and then totally give up. There is a huge margin in there to wiggle around in and just let go of the things that cut odds of conception and/or are making you mental first, try to keep e4d as long as you can (meaning drop most other tactics except diet first). Or even go to e4d + 1 or e3d instead. It will still be better than giving up totally!!

Ok makes sense! So I'm taking folic acid, saw palmento, vitex and fiber! Is there one that cuts chances of conception most? Or would you drop all?

[maidentomother]

I would drop the V & SP. Some women just cant seem to get pregnant on Vitex. Do NOT stop or relax the diet, it is the MOST important sway factor. I would stick to E4D for the next 2 cycles minimum in case the V is to blame. Then the 3rd or 4th cycle from now, switch to E3D.

I've been on the diet since Nov 2013, excluding breaks from May-August when I relaxed the diet, and other than losing 5lbs the first couple months, I've maintained my weight. So you can be on the diet 6 months plus without getting too thin or losing O. Since the diet doesn't negatively affect odds of conception I will stay on it until I'm pregnant, no matter how sick of it I am! A daughter will be well worth it, as will knowing I did my best to sway.

Drop vitex and saw palmetto.

you have GOT GOT GOT TO give it a month or two or three off them but on diet before you give up swaying!!!!!
