I'm starting to think that nothing will work. :( I still have acne and I feel exactly the same as always (competitive, angry). Plus I know I'm about to O because I have a ton of cm, as much as I always do. I'm drinking peppermint tea and I've been on the diet loosely for over a month and strictly for two weeks. I feel like this is hopeless. :( Is there anything else I can do?
Have you considered taking Vitex?
I have considered it but wasn't sure. :/ Does it help with t-levels too? I hadn't read that anywhere but I'm willing to try almost anything.
Are you doing intense exercise? I know Atomic has said that helps!
Just so you know you're not alone, I think mine are still on the higher side, too, but I'm pretty sure they're lower than they used to be. I have been on the LE diet about 8-9 weeks or so, and at first, my CM really dried up...but as I got close to O it increased a lot. I still had lots of EWCM, but it wasn't quite the same quality (more streaked/opaque). I have for the most part felt calmer and more patient, but today I kinda lost it on my boys. :( So I know how you feel...but I would be willing to bet my T levels (and yours) are lower than they used to be!
Have you lost any weight? Atomic says that lowers T, too.
I am doing intense exercise, but I just started that this past week. And I've lost about 3-4 lbs since starting the diet, so I'm losing weight slowly and hoping that means it will stay off. Trying to get to a BMI of 20, still have 20+lbs to go. Maybe I just need to give it more time I guess. Just starting to freak out because I wanted first attempt to be July, but I'm not feeling confident enough in my changes to do that. I'm also stressed because money is pretty tight now and for the next few months. :/ Thankfully LE diet is cheap.
Yeah, I would definitely give it more time to FEEL like your T is lower...but I wouldn't necessarily NOT try in July. I had similar concerns, and was encouraged to go for it. How long have you been on the diet?
I started loosely on it the beginning of May and have switched to stricter version two weeks ago.
I started to take anti-androgenic BCP 2,5 months ago only for swaying purposes, TTC in 2-3 weeks now, and my T-levels checked on blood test ave never been lower :)
Are you going to the doctor and getting your T levels checked?Quote:
