Hope the pic i posted helps u.

Thanks Auzair and boy sway

Pleasure to help :)

Thanks so much ladies, def helps!

I have gained 6 lbs while on this diet for the last 4 weeks. Is that a lot? I am trying to eat protein every 2-3 hrs. I feel stuffed and full 24/7. :/

Auzair, the problem with my cycles is they vary. My cycles go from 31-34 days. I've even had cycles when I ovulated when af was due. I have gained weight since January. About 10 kgs, I don't know what that is in pounds though. It's actually recommended that we do exercise as well. It helps turn fat into muscle and boosts testosterone.

Maybe you should test everyday of the of the month you're TTC?

Jana, I am usually good to begin testing from CD 15 (otherwise I go through too many OPK's). I have been known to ovulate around CD 21 as well. Given what my OPK's look like at the moment. I still think I ovulated extra early. It's very frustrating though. This is the first month since January that I haven't obsessed over the OPK's. Argh! That will teach me :( I have also come down sick with a bad cold. Combine that with a heap of night shifts with few breaks in between and it's also a charting nightmare :(

With my DD3 I was trying to avoid my normal ovulation days to try to NOT get pregnant and I ovulated on cd8. I have always had a normal cycle so it does happen!!
