Hi I know this seems silly as some take many more cycles to get their bfp, but im on month 3 soon to be month 4 I think, and been on the le diet (kind of) since Jan. im 13dpo ish although not sure I ovulated, and expecting af today.
Im just getting so down with getting bfns. I started testing too early as always and just so miserable with seeing blank space where I pray a line would be.
Does anyone else get really down?
Most definitely hunni. I tested from 10dpo last month right up to 6days late just for af to show her face :/ it will happen and I look at it as many people try for years to get pregnant. I was lucky for attempt no1 with my 3rd and wasn't trying with my other 2 x

Yes I get down a lot too. I know where you are coming from - it is so frustrating and defeating when each month is a failure. I came off BCP at the beginning of jan expecting to be PG by march! I started the diet at the end of October. Now that the age gap I wanted (2-2.5 years) is out of the window, the maternity policy at work is going to change any moment, none of us is getting younger (my DH is so helpfully reminding me all the time), friends know we are trying because I didn't think it would take this long etc etc etc.... I feel like a massive failure and my DH is blaming me. He keeps saying I've had such a radical change in diet (not true in my eyes...), I spend too much time in the gym (bull) and we don't BD enough (well no wonder with his attitude!!!)
Sorry I don't have any real advice, just to say you are not alone in how you feel. I hope AF stays away for you x
I swayed on ig in 2010. My first 2 sons i fell pg so easily, 2nd son was a one hit wonder wedding night baby! I mc'd mth 6 & 8. Dropped all douching, supps, timing on mth 11 & got my sticky bfp, ds3! I expected it to take longer this time but got pg mth 3 with one attempt but it was a blighted ovum, caught the next egg with only one attempt. I'm 38 so expected a longer time ttc this time. I guess not using lime or potions helped. I remember the frustration well, 11 mths was a long journey, yes i got an opposite, but he was well worth the wait :) good luck xx

I'm sorry, that is a crappy feeling. I think the thing that makes it harder is having to stick with all the sway factors for so long. I think I'm totally deprived of some necessary nutrients because I have been craving all my old boy friendly foods badly lately. I'm only on month 2 of TTC, but it feels like longer since this is month 4 of the diet and exercise (I'm getting tired and weak)! I hope you get your BFP soon, fingers crossed for you!!!
Yep, I totally get how you feel! I've been on LE since Jan and got PG in March only to m/c in April and can't seem to get that BFP since. It's disheartening!
I'm currently in the 2ww on our third cycle since the m/c but not holding high hopes.
You're not at all alone in your feelings. xx
I'm in the same boat too. I've been swaying since January and still no BFP. I'm thinking it's fruitless as I ttced for my first for three years with no swaying and had to have ivf. However DS2 was one attempt shortly after AF returned after DS1. So I don't know if it's swaying or the fertility of a 38 year old who couldn't get pg when they were 30. Anyway I totally understand what you're going through and I'm a little sick of the vegetarian food but loving the weight loss. Best of luck!
please let me know what all you're doing and I can tell you what to drop.
