No many people do end up having to take iron on a pink sway. What dose are they suggesting?
Hi Atomic. Good morning. Woke up to af. :(. We did e4d this past month and I was sure it would work. :(.
Should I try clomid ? Is that pink friendly ?
It can work, just that it takes time, that's all. We can keep going with e4d or go to e4d plus one.
Clomid is great for pink if you can get some.
I got some ! He wants me to use day 5-9 is that right ? Then also do e4d?
Also sorry , day 1 of af is the first day of flow not the first sporting day correct? Just want to be accurate.
Sorry for the multiple responses I was prescribed “50mg tablets two per day “
I thought it should be 50mg once a day
I think we see best results for conception with Clomid 3-7 but CD 5-9 can work too. 5-9 may have lower chances of twinning.Quote:

He's starting you on 100?? That's fairly unusual, are you going to be getting ultrasound monitoring? If not I'd have you just do the 50 unless you have reason to believe you won't ovulate on 50.Quote:

So it will either be my cycle day 4 or 5 depending on how my first day was perceived.
Now would my e4d start today ? Or after af is completely over ?
Wait till your last dose of medicine. That's worked pretty well for us!
So no release until then ? I’m sorry for so many questions. We have not BD since last months attempt. If I BD tonight and follow 72 hour pattern will land on last dose which is Monday 7/19 and so on.
Have your husband continue to release every 2-4 days for healthy sperm between attempts. Try to avoid long abstains for him in the future as that's not good for sperm quality.
You are more than welcome to start having sex sooner, by all means! Go for it!
The pattern doesn't need to coincide with anything - not the last dose or anything. Just start it whenever you want and keep going with it.
I mean it’s probably too late to correct this error but we’re my dairy’s supposed to not be full fat. I’ve been doing cream & half and half .
Full fat dairy is fine! In fact anyone on the alternate PCOS-type diet that's better for anyone with PCOS, insulin resistance, weight to spare, or poor egg quality should use ONLY full fat dairy. Many people use half and half for their coffee, that's totally ok.
Oh really !? Okay great. Thank you!
Hi ! Last evening was my last day of clomid. We dtd. Cycle day 9. Should we bd in 72 or 96 hour patter or wait until solid smile ?
It's your choice. Some people like to start out the first month on fertility medication and do one attempt to feel that they tried everything (but first month ONLY, then go to e4d). Others prefer to do e4d in the 96 hour pattern (this is lower chances of conception but possibly higher chance of pink, altho 72 hours has good results too). Or, you're fine starting off at e4d in the 72 hour pattern. It's gotten very good results and we have a lot more confidence in it now than we did at the start, when we weren't sure if it would be as pink friendly as it's proven to be.
Hiii , me again.
So I took the clomid and we dtd every 4 days in the 72 hour pattern. Our last bd day was Sunday. It’s now Tuesday and I just got my solid smiley face. So now I’m worried since weren’t scheduled to dtd until tmro night ?
He is due to come home at 10pm :/.
Well, the Sunday attempt would likely cover thru Tuesday - that's why we have the "every 72" pattern is because it covers you no matter what.
But that having been said, it's at your discretion. If you wanted a better chance of conception you can have another attempt (and you're due for one today anyway, and should have one if you didn't), if you want a better chance of pink, stick with the attempt you've had (until today, when you're due for another attempt.)
Okay we dtd Wednesday on our scheduled e4d day. So all we can do is hope and pray. You suggest continuing the e4d through the end of the cycle I believe. So we will continue until then. Ah thank you for your help!
Unless you are absolutely positively SURE you've ovulated, then you can stop the e4d. But many people stop prematurely, thinking they Oed when they didn't, so continuing all month is fine by me!
Hi ! aF just arrived today. 11 days from peak LH and 10 days after supposed ovulation. And that’s with clomid. … I’m unsure if I’m doing something wrong.
Tell me more about your diet.
Are you taking any supplements? Even something that seems harmless like tea?
Black coffee sipping most of the day until 3pm when I switch to coffee with cream and sweet n low. I have some cheese and veggies. Then for dinner I have either chicken or a egg white omelette. And I have a giant side of roasted vegetables (asparagus, broccoli, green beans, escarole, broccoli rabe). And a salad with tiny mozzarella and oil and red wine vinegar. A small Diet Coke. And a sugar free chocolate bar. Daily. Occasional cheat on the weekend and some wine.
No supplements the only 2 things I take are the synthroid ( in the morning ) for my thyroid and folic acid at night time before bed. I did clomid this month as well.
Ok. For starters, you are waiting too long to eat. Do not go any further than 12-16 hours overnight.
Secondly, I can't know this without seeing your days' totals, but it is looking to me like you are not eating enough. You need to be eating 1500-1800 cals a day (not counting the calories in low carb veg, which are free and unlimited and you don't need to count them), 40-60 g protein, and since your LP is short, I want you on 50-60 g fat from here on in. You don't count protein and fat in fruit and veg, so you need to hit those limits WITHOUT counting the protein and fat in fruit and veg. Based on what you are telling me, I find it hard to believe you're hitting those totals and that can explain why your LP is getting short. So let's boost your food intake and see if things get better.
This makes more sense to me now. I was worried I was over my limits in calories and fat from my love of cheese lol. I do consume a lot plus the half/half in my coffee.
I will take a better log and try and pinpoint those key tips you gave me this month.
You can definitely have cheese on the LE Diet.
Plz help. Been on the le diet since the 14th June staying within the numbers but this month still waiting for my period. I’ve had shows but nothing more at the moment 3 days late was hoping to dtd next month. [emoji2368][emoji20]

What is your BMI? How much weight have you lost? And what totals are you eating within?? Are you including the protein, fat in fruit and veg, and ANYTHING in low carb veg?Quote:

Since your BMI is in normal range and you've lost just a reasonable amount, my gut instinct is that this is likely Covid related and not diet. But do continue eating more like 50-60 g protein and fat while keeping cals in the 1500-1800 range.
