Ive been battling to be honest. Severe bloating (like ridiculous) with mild abdominal cramping, constipation etc.. I suffer from this anyway but since BFP it has more than trippled with all symptoms at once! Anyway, medicine wasn't working so Doc put me on other meds which i started today. So if i can just get that to tone down a bit i can hopefully start enjoying this pregnancy..

I did a light sway hun so i didnt have much to drop. My DH didnt take anything. I only took fibre and FA but a week or so before attempt due to my bloating i stopped them to see if that would stop the bloating (didnt). First 'failed' attempt i did J & D and i took antihistamine, one attempt at +opk and used Sylk. Next attempt i didnt J & D and no antihistamine. We BD day before positive (cos my opk's were getting lighter not darker so we just DTD, and then got a positive opk the next day), used Sylk, and only the one attempt. I did LE for 7 months and i was couch potatoe. I only weighed/recorded food in app food for like a week but that wasnt really my thing so i gave it up and just skipped breakfast, had two meals a day and lots of wine. I had coffee with milk in the am and diet coke in the day.. i had a treat with a meal if i wanted to xx

Oh you poor thing I hope you get some relief from the meds, I find a lot of these things subside after the intial 12/14 weeks. Hopefully that's the case with you xx

That sway sounds great ... I opted for couch potato too :-) ... Don't have time to brush my hair some days let alone do an hr exercise :-)... Going to drop the jellies nxt attempt, 3rd time lucky an all ... And I'd that doesn't work jellies and antihistamines then!! Xx

Do you need the antihistamines? I didn't really..

Your entitled to moan every now and again ... Everyone is, good to get it off your chest :-)
Maybe I should drop the antihistamines too, thought they were good for swaying pink and drying up cm. Maybe I have that wrong, I was taking 1 a day for up to 10 days before dtd, what do u think?

Not sure on duration but I just took one tablet an hr before attempt. Yes. True it dries up CM and that's why I didn't really need it because I don't have much in the first place, but for our second attempt I was really dry already so taking one would have been redundant in my opinion.

Hi! I totally understand with your struggling lately! These past 3 months I have got slacker with each 2WW - still only eating twice a day but eating more than I have been so going over my daily totals. In a way it has made it easier going back into it hard everytime AF shows though. Ive been on the LE diet for 36weeks now! Thats almost the same length as a pregnancy. Skipping breakfast isnt too difficult anymore but I still miss snacking & meat. Ive been eating red meat once a week for the past month to try & help my short luteal phase so that has been nice & I really look forward to that meal. I would dump the antihistimine, J&D & lube if you dont really need it. I worry a bit now that I have had to add in the red meat & full fat dairy but I also thought I might be pregnant by now. My first took ages to conceive but my second was almost instant! LOL. Fingers crossed that AF stays away this weekend.

KC and Squiggle how are you both doing? I've started my Af today so going to attempt this month ... Wish me luck, hope your both doing well xx 😘

5dpo our 4th attempt. I am so relaxed this cycle as I expect it to fail again. We BD every 4 days but it ended up being at +opk so its almost 1 attempt really. It was a monitored cycle too so lots of blood tests to pinpoint ovulation - the bes news is that I already knew before they told me based on signs from previous months. Im really not sure what to change next. I have a short luteal phase which I think is our problem. i have introducedfull fat dairy, loads of eggs & red meat back in to my diet. Added in breakfast (toast) occasionally & dropped some breastfeeds to see if that will help. I think I have just come to the conclusion that I am just really good at making boys & I think that is just the way it is going to go.
