Mrs. Ingram - have you been on the diet long? My ewcm is nearly gone after being on the diet for months.

Nope. Haven't started it yet. I'm currently doing a weight loss specific diet, because I know that losing a bunch of weight before getting pregnant is very pink (and I would love to lose 60 pounds, but 80 would be "ideal" for my size). Right now I'm doing low-cal, super low-carb, and a fair amount of protein with herbal drops. I will have switched to LE for about 3-4 weeks when we TTC. Do you think that will hurt our chances? My priority for right now is to lose a fair amount of weight before TTC, so I hope I'm not shooting myself in the foot here.
-
I've always been a big low carb/high protein person (and think it's the "healthiest" way to lose weight). I was against the LE diet at first, but I've lost 25 lbs on it (and I didn't have very much to lose, I could have easily lost much more if I had more to spare). I would switch to LE style weight loss 6 weeks minimum (ideally 12) before your attempt because it's the low fat and low protein that sways much much more than the weight loss itself.
-
I am doing low-fat, that and calories are the two biggest aspects of this diet. But, I'm only getting around 60ish grams of protein per day. Isn't that within LE guidelines?
-
Anyone else have any insight about my plan or my question about douching (just in case the diet doesn't reduce my amount of CM - I want to be prepared for any situation)?
-
Sorry it's hard to comment on your specific dietary plan without knowing more details, but I would focus on trying LE (maybe PCOS style for you?) 6 weeks out from your attempt. I'm not sure if you are currently eating meat, but I think the low protein/vegetarian aspects of LE definitely sway pink. Douching isn't recommended, but some girls use refresh/replens/acijel. I think zyrtec + veggie diet reduces EWCM enough for most people and honestly you do need SOME EWCM to even get pregnant so I don't think eliminating 100% of EWCM is the goal here.

Your sway kind of looks like mine and I wasn't considering mine "lite".. .good luck!
-
If this is your low key, I can't imagine how your other was :D :D it looks good to me.
-
Perfect!! Thanks, ladies. I'm just worried because I know we cannot afford a personalized plan and this is our last try for a girl of our own...

Looks great, I'd skip the abstain since he is walking so far.
I never guess at people's odds of success! Will just wish you the best of luck.
