Well in trying to do the pcos diet (trying my best) but need treats to keep me going chocolate is my down fall, exercise 5 days a week 60 mins on a stationary bike, switched from tea to coffe with milk, fiber, wine some nights with dinner and clomid. Just not sure if I should start clomid tomorrow night or wait until I come back from holiday it means I will have to cheat around ovulation I'm a bit unsure about it. Thanks
You can have chocolate! I always had a square or two of Dove milk chocolate! Milk chocolate is best. Your sway sounds great! Just to make sure, Clomid needs to be taken CD3-7 or CD5-9 (CD- cycle days). It can't be taken at any other time in your cycle.

I am on cycle day 3 tomorrow which is when I would start it but I go away at the end of this month on holiday which is when I will ovulate and I will have to cheat right around ovulation on my diet because I family with me. I know it's a mportant tomkeep blood sugar low. I only have 2 months of clomid so I'm trying to decide weather to start tomorrow or wait until august.
Only you can decide that one! All I would think is to do a boy sway you'd need to do a lot more than a couple of days of cheating on an already le diet that you've been doing. If that makes sense! It sounds like you're doing great!
Let us know what you decide to do about clomid. I've just taken my last pill, first attempt tonight and every 4th day from now on. Nervous but trying to keep positive!
Glad you have started English Dame, I wouldn't say I'm doing great on the diet, I'm doing my best but could be doing better. I've spoke with my husband today who would wants this over as soon as possible lol! But he thinks I should wait until August. I have been really down lately too with all this but I do feel the diet and the ttc business and do the perfect sway can make us feel crap.
Have you had any side effects on the clomid, I hate how it made me feel but so glad I got it. Good luck with your attempts fingers crosssed it works first time for you.
That's good you've made a decision, wishing you lots of luck for next month!
That's exactly how I feel on my diet, like I could've done better but I do know that my eating habits are radically different from when I conceived ds. I feel like I've done my best.
The clomid has been great so far no side effects to report really! From what I've heard the o pains and afterwards are worse? Did you find that?
Glad you've decided Pink rose, have a lovely holiday and try not to feel too guilty when having your holiday treats.
Good luck English dame, it would be great if you get your bfp straight away.
Good luck to both of you next month!
I'm away for 2 weeks in the sun and I know I can be good following the diet some days but not every day as much as I'm looking forward to the break and relaxing a bit I'm looking forward to getting back and ttc.
I think we will go with every 4 days but I will still do opks to make sure at least one of my attempts is close to when I ovulate.
Thanks Frilly and enjoy your holidays! How do you stick to the diet when you go away any tips for lunches and evening meals when eating out which will be every evening lol
When I was swaying on my last holiday I had breakfast in the hotel which was usually yogurt and fruit (because we were bed and breakfast). Then just drank water and iced frappes all day. Then at dinner in the evenings I had the most amazing salads with all sorts of fruits, cheeses and breads but made sure I didn't overdo the cheese! It was some of the best meals abroad I'd ever had and would probably never had tried if I wasn't sticking to limits. On the odd day I just had a small sushi salad I allowed myself a pudding. I always went for a long hours walk after my meal, and with the heat it was a good workout. A couple of days I stayed in the pool and swam around for an hour! Have a fab time xQuote:

I will try salads for dinner but I'm not that fussed on salad but love the different breads and love desserts! I'm really going to have to try my best here as I would usually do tea and pastries, pizza all the nice we treats when I'm on holiday.
Will you start clomid in august when you come back from holiday?
I'm a sucker for desserts too! I had pizza last time and asked them to put lost of vegi on but only a small sprinkle of cheese, didn't feel too guilty then.
Yes I'm starting at the end of August.
I finished my Clomid on Saturday 22th! I have had only hot flashes. I've also took it at night. I'm on cd9 right now. And I feel ovulation pain.
Englishdame do you have also any symptoms?
Keep using opk tests because I ovulated much earlier than normal when I took clomid last time and good luck with your attempt.
Frilly good idea about the pizza I will definitely do that when eating out as I just love pizza! I don't think I ever thought this much about food in my life and it's not like I ever ate all day long.
Imama we're at the exact same point then. I haven't had any real symptoms I don't think, we dtd on sat and will do again tonight and continue e4d pattern.
I started opks yesterday so will see what happens, really hoping for a positive today but I'm thinking it'll be later on for some reason. I hate doing opks because I have this fear that I won't get a positive at all. Hopefully e4d is covering our bases anyway.
Pink Rose do you know which cd you ovulated on clomid last time?
One of my last cycles on clomid I ovulated on day 11 which was 4 days earlier than I usually would. Every 4days covers everything that's what I'm going to do this time. Good luck!

Sorry Jane I seen your post and must have forgotten to reply. I haven't had any major symptoms of clomid to be honest. AF due next week so just waiting now!
That's great Englishdame that you haven't had many symptoms!
Hoping AF doesn't turn up for you!
I start clomid next month x

Hi Jane
I get hot flashes and my BBT was higher, some cramps around ovulation.
You shouldn't worry. Good luck!
How are you feeling now Imama? I have tender bbs and thrush :( hoping those are good signs but know it's more than likely just the clomid causing the symptoms. My diet hasn't been great at all this last week so really hoping for a bfp :((
When are you going to poas??
ETA - I also have a little round stomach! Bloating caused by the clomid I'm assuming? This stuff plays with your head I feel like I look pregnant!
Englishdame I'm great, thank you! I have no symptoms and I have feeling that i will get a BFN!Quote:

My diet hasn't also been great. I didn't snack but I have more protein and fat! I wasn't within the limits.
I hope we both get BFP!
I hope so too! Keeping fingers crossed for us both!
Well girls I hope you are very lucky this month and get a bfp you deserve it. The diet can be hard at times I'm on holiday at the moment and definitely gone over on protein and fat but I'm skipping breakfast eating twice a day, alcohol and coffee it's the best I can do. I am using clomid this month so hopefully it works first time.
Thanks pink rose! Fingers and toes crossed for all of us, swaying is hard! Enjoy your holiday, sounds like you're doing great and probably better than you think you are!
Hey, I've stayed out of this thread since it's a support thread but if you guys have any questions please be sure to start a dedicated thread in the forums so I will see and reply! Good luck all!
Hi girls
Just a quick question to see what you guys think?
I had planned to start ttc with clomid in September - because my youngest will be 9months then and also because of the Chinese gender calendar. It has been correct for my two kids (both boys) and I thought it couldn't hurt to try on a month that predicts girl.
However - I have lost weight with month, dropped big protein amount from my diet and down to my lowest adult weight - so wondering if I should try this month?
What's your thoughts? Thanks for help in advance xx
Anything longer than 12 weeks on diet has been very successful, 6-8 weeks also good but not quite as high as 12 weeks +. If you're losing gobs of weight then try sooner rather than later. Plus, with Clomid on your team, that makes up a lot of ground so if you did only have 6 weeks on diet then it would still do a lot of the heavy lifting.
The Chinese Calendar does not work. If it did, there would not be orphanages full of unwanted Chinese baby girls.
Thanks atomic ��
I started the clomid - I don't think I can loose much more weight or i will be below my bmi.
Day 3 - no side effects so far!
Hope everyone is getting on well xx
JaneL how are you? I have a question. I'm on CD1 and planning on starting clomid CD3 to CD7. My question is, when I'm supposed to start using opk to track ovulation? Which day?? I'm lost!

Hi pinkmama
I'm going good - surprised & pleased to have no side effects on the clomid.
How are you? I'm not sure when your meant to start opks but I had planned to start the day after I finish clomid.xx
Hi English dame how are you getting on with everything. I'm trying so hard with the diet! I'm finding it hard but I will start clomid next week so I need to get strict especially with being on holiday and doing my best. I just don't feel it s good enough. I get so fed up worrying about every thing I eat and hoping it will help me get a girl! Crazy I know, I can't stop it.
I am exactly the same. I gave up my sway in the 2ww, I didn't plan to I was just at the end of what I felt I could manage and I really put all my eggs in one basket hoping to be pregnant that first month :(
Now I don't know whether to take the clomid and try this month or skip a month (really don't want to do that) but I feel like we'll have a boy if I fall pregnant when I've been so bad with diet the last 2 weeks. I've started again back on pcos le so just need to see. My cycle hasn't actually started yet I've just been spotting.
Are you still on holiday or are you back now?
I'm back from holiday and back to the every day feelings of gd, I just can't move past this. I'm just going to go ahead this month because I've been on this diet forever and I'm sick of eating the same things and worrying about what I'm eating.
I have had loads of cheats I had lots of pizzas and desserts when on holidays but I also has vegetarian fajitas and salads to I tried to do my best and being away with family that don't know about this diet or me ttc was hard. I did eat twice a day and had tones of Coke Zero hope this helped.
If you started the diet again you should ttc this month because it could be lucky for you.
We should start posting meal ideas again to help us stay on track. Good luck

Hi welcome house of blue I've only got 2 months of clomid which I got with a private prescription, maybe you could also buy clomid from an online chemist in the uk. I'm not sure how it works though. Are you doing the le or pcos diet? Good luck with your away and I hope we all get our little girls.
Hi pink rose! Good luck to u too!! :) An awesome lady on this board is providing me with her leftover clomid! :))) I'm doing the pcos, what about u? Have there been good results w the pcos diet?Quote:
