OK SO...I have resumed the LE diet... no breakfast, limited protein and fats...back to folic acid, iron, vitex and potassium daily....Do you think that the few weeks I was off the diet is balanced out by the miscarriage?? I know I was full blown HE diet while pregnant and I want to TTC asap.
I do truly believe (after spending hour anguishing over this question myself) that the first egg after m/c sways pink. I wish I had caught mine (despite being off the diet completely for a few weeks). If I were you I'd TTC right away (since you do feel emotionally ready) and not worry about the weeks off the diet.
I did the every 4 days method last month and ovulated late (possibly because of the m/c?) and ended up BD 4 days before ovulation and ovulation day. I somewhat regret not adding an attempt last month but I was so nervous about my time off the diet while pg I didn't want to weaken my sway by having 2 attempts. I also felt pretty sorry for myself last cycle after my loss and my LE diet wasn't as strong as it had been in the past (I ended up only losing 1-2ish pounds in 4 weeks when I had plenty of weight from my loss pregnancy to lose!).
Sorry for all the rambling, but suffice it to say it's tough going back to LE after a m/c and I would definitely try to catch the first egg ! Good luck to you!!!
Thank you blue for your response :) I am not sure when to even expect a period or when to ovulate again. Does it sort of go back to your "regular" time or is messed all up due to the m/c? Should I start temping and all that stuff again?
For me I got a positive OPK on my usual day (CD13, if I count my first day of bleeding with m/c as CD1), then I ovulated CD16 (late for me by 1-2 days). My cycle lasted 31 days, so I got my period 31 days after my m/c began. Slightly late, but a pretty regular cycle all things considered. Was your m/c completely natural? I know yours was a bit later than mine, but I think for many people (not everyone) their cycles get back to normal pretty quickly and they ovulate 2 weeks after their loss as if it was AF.
It was natural, yes. I am still very lightly bleeding. I had no idea things could return to normal so soon...I better get on the ball LoL I have not been doing anything but diet and supplements :D
No vitex, it will make it take longer to ovuulate again.
Yes, I think the miscarriage makes up for being off diet.
I feel like temps are not always reliable after a loss but your call to make.Quote:
