Thanks atomic!
The only reason I'm optimistic about DH's weight loss is that , like me losing weight, it's opposite what we've done in the past. I'm not gonna stress about it.
In the past few months, I've only gotten a yeast or BV infection around O time (I'm ASSUMING) my ph naturally rises like I've learned on this board. I'm going to confirm this with PH strips in Jan. after Christmas shopping and spending is over :) Can't order them just yet.
I don't think DH would be at all into the diva cup thing anyway, so no biggie. I REALLY want to get pregnant in April or May and not draw it out, so I don't want to be too harsh in there.
I'm going to experiment from Jan. on with the zyrtec/peppermint tea and all the other voodoo to see how my cycle's go.
I'm a little nervous about taking Vitex.....how important is it do you think? (in regards to swaying) I'd love to o earlier as well.....but in teh past I took it for 1 month only and it make me o later and wacked up my cycle majorly. I know taking it for one month isn't the best (I miscarried that one too)...

Makes sense to me!
I don't think vitex is critical in any way (and I conceived a boy on it) but it is something that people have seemingly had success with. The wacky cycles seem to sway pink, maybe by reducing fertility a little bit, so really, that's actually the vitex working for you.

I took vitex for about 5 mo before TTC and it didn't do anything with my cycles. Then last month i started SP and this month I am due to O on CD 14! This is huge because I have LOOOOOOng (6 weeks!) cycles so I am excited that I can get more chances at pg into a shorter period KWIM? So I think vitex and SP are very important!
EWCM--after being on the diet for 3 weeks and taking zytrec, baby aspirin, and using repHresh, I have NO EWCM AT ALL! Not even around O! None at all for the last 3 weeks! Just a little creamy. Plus my pH barely rises at O (thanks to the repHresh) so I am feeling pretty good about my upcomming (first!) attempt!

Carmelle...DH and I are also High school sweethearts! :)
Which diet are you on?
