Pregnitude is not suitable for everyone. It's for people with moderate to severe PCOS and may make it harder for you to conceive.
Please keep in mind that doctors are not up to speed on supplements. They will not know what you're talking about, most likely, and will tell you to take minimal doses but that is because they are not informed on the safety and research into these supplements. They will also just tell you to take a prenatal. Do what you feel the need to do of course but my guidelines for those things are based on tons of research that indicates that higher than normal folate intake before concepiton may help to prevent chromosomal abnormalities in addition to neural tube defects. And Coq10 is recommended by reproductive endocrinologists nationwide like Dr. Potter and many others to boost egg health in actually higher doses than what I recommended to you. I just hate to see you guys giving the rather uninformed opinions of the average doctor too much credit when really they may not be informed about these things at all.
Most of us have totally given up on the salt restriction. It makes it way easier to stick to the diet when you don't limit it and our results have only gone up since we gave up on it.
If you can't skip breakfast, just try pushing it back a little. That's fine. Just something that may help a bit.
I am concerned since you're already quite thin, that not tracking food, eating "low calorie" and trying to lose 10 pounds will be disasterous for your cycle. The reason I emphasize tracking food is only nominally for the sway. It's really much more so that you can continue to eat a safe, healthy diet and continue your ovulation. You should not drop below 1500-1800 cals a day (and many have to go up to 1800-2000) 40-50 g protein, 30-60 g fat. The LE Diet is not and never has been a "low calorie" starvation diet, it's just the lower limit of a normal diet that is safe prepregnancy. Dont' cut down beyond those lower limits please.
Timing doesn't sway. If you want to include it, that's totally fine, up to you. But part of the benefit of the e4d is that you aren't worrying over this day or that day and trying to figure out this complicated thing where you're having attempts on a certain day. It's supposed to be effortless so you don't really need to think about it. Having sex 24 hours after ovulation is pointless and gains you nothing. O+12 does not work and it has caused more heartbreak than any other method out there, by rendering women infertile and unable to conceive, and the older you are, the worse it works as our eggs do not live long enough.
http://genderdreaming.com/forum/tryi...9-no-12-a.html There has never been a medically confirmed pregnancy the day after ovulation, in dozens of studies. AT 40, time is not our friend here. If you don't want to do attempt at positive OPK (which is really 36 hours before ovulation and not O day anyway) then I'd just do an attempt on O-3 and O-2 if you must and hope that your cycle stays regular. In that case it's even more important to not cut back too far on the diet.
