I have been troubled with a short luteal phase & super light periods since I started the LE diet. AF has only been 18-24hrs at best & very very light. We had 4 attempt months in total This month we essentially had one attempt at opk (we were BD e4d with hubby releasing after 2), I dropped 1 breastfeed a day (so still bf morning & night twice in toral) from our attempt incase my raised prolactin levels were lowering my progesterone & inhibiting implantation. I also atea slice of pineapple for 5 days after ovulation. I was also eating full fat dairy once a day, fish once a week & eating at the upper end of the LE diet to maintain weight (I couldnt afford to drop anymore).
This month I have felt eerily calm & the least stressed of all our attempt months. I cant explain it. I did eat breakfast a few times before ovulation as I wondered that the prolonged fasting was causing increased cortisol & more stress so perhaps thats it. I certainly didnt think about food quite so much so maybe that was the key. Knowing that I can now go eat a steak for dinner tonight is also very exciting.
I wish you all luck in this next month! Hang in there. I have watched others BFP with some envy & your turn will come. Blue swayers you can have all of my blue dust & girl mums send your pink dust to me! Fingers crossed this is a sticky bean.
