The LE diet is kind of what you make of it. You can go hard-core or make it a softer sway. I would personally try to skip fish when you can b/c it's a healthy meat but if you need it once in a while, you could probably do it. Just figure it into your LE daily values of course!

Beans are okay as long as you can fit them into your daily LE values but watch out for the sodium in baked beans b/c I think it's pretty high. Also, beans have quite a lot of protein so you'd want to eat just a little bit.

ETA...Here's Atomic's take on fish (or any meat in particular):

If you do eat any fish, make sure it's not salmon or any of the kind rich in Omega 3s...

Hi everyone else :)

Hi!
I'm new here. First attempt will be february!
Anyone going to do o+12?
My cycles is always 28 days, but after diet and supps it's all messed up! AF one week early now! I thought I would have lost some weights by now since I eat very little. Should we wait because of that? After having our boy I have lost about 5 kg/11lbs, but nothing lately.

I'm still hoping I still have a chance. The ONLY pregnancy tests I've been using are the kind like these (well, they're identical, anyway) - Pregnancy Tests Strips

How reliable have these been for any ladies on here? I remember using them with my other pregnancies, but I seem to recall my first two pregnancies (that I lost) I DID end up using a First Response one and then with my son I used one of these, but I tested for the first time when I was around 5 1/2 weeks... so, naturally, SUPER positive (I didn't know I was pregnant, still post-miscarriage pre-AF returning!)

So, I wonder if there is still hope yet for me? I'm almost tempted to get some clearblue or first response off amazon or eBay...

Or wondering if I shouldn't bother and just wait this entire week out for a period and see if it comes at all...

Suregena - You are not out til af comes. I never got a bfp til 2 days past when my af was due with all my boys. There is still hope. Maybe wait a few days -- though I know it is sooo hard.

KnockYBallsOff- I have lost a lot of weight too. 15 lbs. in 6 weeks. It's not crazy too much too fast though so I am not worried. I am losing roughly 2-3 lbs. a week. Don't want to lose more than that b/c I don't want to stop ovulation.

Amari- I am not taking Vitex -- only Saw Palmetto because I want to lower my T level.

Hope&Dream- Thank you -- it was such an emotional roller coaster...to be honest it still hurts. This week was my due date for the twins I conceived in May. It hurts because I wish I could change things and maybe they would be here. I know they were 100% healthy and perfect b/c I had a tissue analysis done after my d&c and everything was perfect...they were perfect.
My dh and I were dtd one night and during I was kinda feeling some pain but just wanted him to finish so we could be done. When it was over I was cramping so bad I could hardly walk. The next evening the bleeding started and it was all down hill from there. Having sex caused me to have uterine cramping -- and being I was only nearly 6 weeks, the cramping caused me to miscarry.
I was so depressed, I felt like I lost the only girls I would ever have. I still think that might be true. If I could take back that night I would in a heartbeat -- the biggest regret of my life and always will be. If that night never happened...I just might have been holding my newborn baby girls today.

prayforprincess - I'm soooo sorry for all the pain you're feeling :hugs:.

I know. Today was my AF due date! I am also very bloated tonight... could be due to incoming AF... could be something else? I weighed myself... I somehow weigh 4lbs more than the same time last night! WHAT THE! It better be the bloating, geez!

I am now checking CP for any indication of AF... I think I'm starting to lose it, ha! I went back and looked at my tests (I am out of them, stupid me! Should have waited!) and I keep torturing myself, staring, thinking I actually see a 'shadow' in two of them.

I'm feeling craaaazy. I just bought some clearblue digitals off eBay so if AF isn't here by the time they arrive, I'll use one. If THOSE are negative, I will really believe I'm not pregnant. I'll only use one though, to save the other for next cycle should I need to!

I had some stabby twinges on one side (left side) today at work, too.

:hair:

suregena - what kind of tests have you been testing with? You're so patient to wait for new ones to arrive in the mail - I'd be out at the store buying a test this minute!

For the record, I started bloating like crazy from the moment I got my BFP...and I still am a month later.
