Is there any "too long" so to speak for his age?
Iv ordered more opks to start testing as soon as the bleeding stops

---

You can do night of positive if it's easier for you. Kids make it hard to have morning attempts.

I prefer no more than 7-10 days, up to 14 max

OLE - right away. 500-1000 mg daily but no more than that for extended periods. At BFP he should wean off.

I wouldn't bother with it because it's not getting great results anyway and it's going to be too hard to know where you are in cycle.

If you really want to just do 14 days on, 14 days off. He doesn't ahve to be on it at time of attempt, it has a cumulative effect

Also will taking any of these prolong my miscarriage or should i start once bleeding stops?
I promise that is the last questions 🙈🙉🙊


Im so anxious to catch this egg im just scared to start this stuff too early and mess stuff up!

---

DO NOT use any herbs INCLUDING peppermint tea, they really, really delay the length of time before cycle returns

We don't know but we get good results with it.

---

Without a side by side study we cannot know. All the studies done so far, except one, have been no good because they are not studying cal-mag supplements alone, and the one study that was valid actully showed higher cal-mag intake in moms that went on to conceive boys. I think it is something everyone needs to decide for themselves. I got 4 boys with tons of dairy and 2 of them I was taking cal-mag supps so I droped it and got my girl without dairy or cal-mag supps, but you need to do waht you feel comfy with.

There is no scientific basis for this and it's just one of those things people say. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/sway...by-gender.html

Feelings don't predict gender and I wouldn't torture yourself with what ifs because we'l never know.

Hahahaa

---

It is up to you, sticking with one attempt is better odds of pink, adding attempts may be bluer but better for conception.

---

You can still have 3 meals or even 4 if you have to, you just push breakfast back. I always had 3, 11am or so, 4-5 pm, then again before bed. Got a girl with that. Both 2 and 3 meals are equally allowed, do what works for you. If you can't stick with 3, then up to 4, it's still really different than snacking all day every day

I cannot read the nutrient data well enough. The one thing that is sticking out to me in what I can see is that you can and should have fat - it looks like to me you are having all fat free products and you need 30 g minimum and can go all the way up to 60, so right there is a way to get a lot of cals without really changing much of anything.

Spongecake is allowed!

Thank you for all this awesome information ladies i really appreciate the time and effort!
Basically i was really enjoying iced cold peppermint tea lol sad to see it go now �� at first i was hating it lol i was having 600ml a day!
Anyway iv drop cal and mag and peppermint tea
Im on folic acid 1500
Cranberry 7500mg (half what i was taking)
Vitamin c 500mg a day
Anddddd thats it :/

Hubby is on LR still only because he is basically a weight lifter when it comes to his job day in day out also gets alot of cardio in, so i guess i can only hope it decreases testostrone A tiny bit, it keeps my thoughts calm.
Cal and mag
Olive leaf 3000mg (lowest we could get here but he takes it every 3rd day now)
Folic acid
Vitamin c

We will do one attempt at positive opk and say a prayer
Im usually a 24 hour later O person.
1200 calories aday my height and weight im classed as over weight

Is it ok that i drink two coffees before i eat breakfast/lunch in the afternoon or does that defeat the purpose of fasting in the morning?

Hubby wont and cant cut calories he becomes drained with anything less with his usuall Bajillion calories a day thanks to his energy output hahaha

Oh and cardio! I start tonight again now because im getting all crampy and i think it may help with the bleeding aswell xx

I will buy some more fat fulfilling products :) too easy! This is really just stuff i had left over in the cupboard todays shopping day yeee haaa hahahha

That looks great! The coffee is fine as long as it's very low in cals, I.e. not with cream and/or sugar, calorie free sweeteners and/or a little bit of lowcal creamer is fine. Black is ideal if you can tolerate it,

Im really struggling with this diet! God i feel like sich an idiot i cant get it right.
Today iv eaten 1169 calories
I hit protein 53g
Cards 169g
Sugar 68g
Fat 39g
Sodium 1870
Potassium 500 ??? No idea how to eat more i dont want to drop dead 😕
Calcium 189

On my macro
CARBS made up for 58% of today
PROTEIN made up for 18%
FAT made up for 23%

220 of those calories were from three coffees threwout the day 😩

I still like most of you guys to be at 1500-1800 even if you're overweight. There is only a tiny minority of people who should be at 1200 and that is only AFTER trying 1500-1800 first.

Coffee in the morning is fine and practically all of us do.

Hubby doens't need to cut calories. He doesnt have to do diet with you. If he wanted to go vegetarian or even just cut back, great, but he does not need to do anything beyond that.

Something is mathematically awry here. The online calculators are not always right or accurate.

When I plug the numbers in, this is what I get.

351 cals of fat (39x9)
212 cals from protein (53x4)
676 cals from carbs (169x4)

Total of 1239 cals and that does not count if the sugars are separate from the carbs, I wasn't sure on that because some sites count them differently and others sugars are considered carbs. I suspect they are separate and that would add an additional 272 cals from sugar for grand total of 1511 calories.

IF the cals are correct (which again I think something is screwy here) then you'd need to eat more carbs, fat, and sugar to increas cals. Please check out this thread as it has lots of ideas on how to get calories without protein. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/le-d...disasters.html

Don't worry about the sodium, that isn't working and most of us totally gave up on it cause it makes it way easier to stick to diet.

Re potassium, it's in a lot more foods than you think, and many of the online calculators have it totally wrong. Please see this thread which is the Guide to Potassium for more food choices. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/le-d...m-le-diet.html

Ahhh man i totally struggled to eat what i did yesterday! Am i on the right track though? Lol i suppose il try the 3 meals of 500 calories each!

Just to clarify, I think MFP had your cal count LOWER than what you actually ate. I am not saying you NEED to eat more, but just that is what you'd have to eat more of if it IS correct (which I do not think it is.) It looks to me like you got at least 1200 and probably more like 1500.

I think so to. I just punch all that data into my fitbit tracker and it was way more calories but still in the girl le diet range :)

Abstaining is ok with my partners age isnt it hes 26? No medical issues and of a Fit build. Only asking because he is going away for 6 days for work traibing and will be back smack bang when im expected to ovulate (not relying on these prediction dates i never do but just covering my basis incase) just wanted to DTD straight off the mark instead of having him release then waiting a few hours and then dtd haha

I think mfp is really out iv nearly reached all my goals for the day with 800 calories to go �� think il switch trackers!

Are you doing vegetarian? I had an early miscarriage end of October and since thanksgiving I went veggie, much more easier for me not to go over protein.

I am going vegetarian fully as of tomorrow. Tonight im cheating with wine and some chcolate will most probably be 1800 calories by the end of today ill get the hang of it im sure
I just always have a hard time learning diet stuff its never been my speciality �� i dont get alot of time to sit down and focus so i sometimes miss important things.

26 year olds can do abstain.

Wine and chocolate are not cheats.

I meant cheating as in i went over in my calories a bit but technically not cheating because i was still within my limits
Iv nearly hit my fat and protein goal for today already so tonight il be eating chocolate to get my calories in hahahaha �� and i should still be within my limits �� i actually like this lifestyle very much �� i eat at 11 oclock 2-3 oclock then 6-7 oclock. And then nothing till lunch the next day :)

:agree: that is all fine. :)

Well i might possible already be in my tww or my temps are really funny atm :) guess il just wait untill af shows or a positive pregnancy test ☺ bf was perfectly timed anyway even if i did o and im bding every 4 days from now to cover my bases :) Attachment 29740

Attachment 29741

I would need a few more temps to see a trend

Attachment 29837


Can this cycle just end already its such a mess! I had TONs and Tons of egg white cervical mucous today and when i check my cm there were a few bright red blood streaks in it
Af must be on her way

Done an opk to rule out ovulation i didnt even get a second line thatsnhow negative it was
Positive pregnancy test VERYYYYY faint so most probably lingering hcg i didnt test my hcg out with pregnancy tests so im not getting excited ofcourse. Il wait till af come now :)

Hard to say without seeing your full chart and past charts, but I think you might still be gearing up to O despite the negative OPK. I'd keep testing at least once daily.

Yerp ff took my cross hairs this morning but i have lots of sm some cream some eggwhite today yesterday was full egg white i think im gearing up now very crampy today!

Yeah, i'm not sold on those crosshairs yet
