Netti were you going to try amd do the le diet for a few months? Is that why July?
If you don't feel you can wait then at least try just one attempt and maybe even j&d the first time? After 5 boys I would personally probably hold off and do as best as sway as I could. Maybe don't monitor things but avoid meat, fatty foods like cheese and pastries, drink only skim milk etc stick to one attempt at pos opk. See how that goes for a couple cycles maybe?
Yes and also thought id have a better chance at convincing DH as ds5 is 1 🤣
Its just the impatient in me. I know once its done DH can't go back and forth 😄
I know it would be better for me to try as many things that im able to, to work in my favour.
Im going to try to hold out.
Is the daily chat thread still around for le diet?
What do you ladies eat for lunch. We're heading into autumn/winter here and salads aren't cutting it atm. I struggle with lunches and finding something nutritious and le.

I used to love the La Zuppa soups! Low in fat but quite filling! I'd have a couple pieces bread either very lightly buttered or unbuttered. The minestrone and pumpkin ones are awesome. There's also Uncle Bens mexcian fried rice. These are sold at woolies. I don't like salads at all 😂 although I would eat the vege sub minus cheese but with sweet onion sauce from subway. My other go to was toasted cheese sandwiches but that was if I was having a low fat dinner.
I absolutely love toasted cheese sandwiches. I had one today 🤣
Ill check out the soup and rice. I need a few options. I get bored of the same food (except toasted cheese sandwiches 😂)

Oh me too 😂 I'm a toastie freak! I actually had them for my dinner tonight!!
Pbn3 - that was a great article, thank you! If it was my first, I may be more hopeful. But as it's my third and my other two babies were seen at 5+ weeks with my tilted uterus, I'm less hopeful.
I can only get in for surgery on 11th May after my work conference and other work commitments. My appointment is next wed 3rd, so I'm going to pencil in D&C on that day, but only after a scan at a separate scanning place (not just in his office). I think then I will comfortable and I will also be 8 weeks. I'll also get another couple of HCG tests foe reassurance
Netti lunch is easiest for me since i don't have to cook for everyone just myself and the two littles. I have 1/2c(dry) plain elbow macaroni with 2tbs Parmesan cheese (the fake stuff already grated) and 2/3c frozen corn and 2/3 cup frozen peas only when I'm really hungry otherwise I stick with just Mac noodles.
Iwant4kids that sounds like a good plan I would also want to do everything I could for reassurance before moving forward with d&c
AFM temp rise again this am. Nothing fancy but crosshairs did move making me 3dpo today and not yesterday. Looks like I'll be the last tester which is ok because I'm nervous anyway!

Iwant4 - I am so so sorry!! Big hugs!! I do think it makes sense to do another scan like Ash said. Thinking about you...
Ash & lola, your BD times look great! So excited to see how this cycle plays out for you!!
Netti, I do a lot of vegetarian meals like lentil soup, salads, sandwich with hummus or avocado, stir fry, etc. It's hard for me also to find new things to eat as I also easily get bored. Let me know if you come across something yummy.
AFM, I'm having some cramping on my right side yesterday and today. I'm hoping O is coming earlier for me this cycle - I'm CD14 today and have never O'd earlier than CD17, so maybe it's around the corner. I'll post pics of my OPK's from phone. I must say that I am a bit worried about my diet - it was AWFUL on vacation. I ate everything in sight, which is so far off my usual diet, and gained a few pounds. That's definitely boy territory! :worry:
OPK's from yesterday (am/pm) and night before.

Max you can for sure tell 13pm is darker. FX you O earlier and maybe the slight diet change and relaxation of vacation is just what your body needed!
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/23cbe8
I could be talking nonsense max but do you think maybe 13pm could be positive? Last cycle you didn't get a blaring positive did you? And your temps are going up?? Pbn can confirm lol that I'm crazy but just a thought
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/23cbe8
No, the 13 PM is not positive, but almost. These strips get equally dark or darker than the control line :)
I totally agree ash! Just wondering if the diet change is maybe swaying the other direction lol... I went crazy on wine & cheese, emphasis on cheese! ;)
That crossed my mind ash, but I'm not sure...I didn't get a positive last time either and I don't know what to make of these tests anymore. I'm going to just stick with e4d until I see a true positive, if it ever comes.
cosmo, how are you feeling?
I'm starting to feel better :) we're moving again (probably will move once more when I'm huge u_u) and I'm busy with that. I still sleep alot, but nausea seems to be clearing now.
You know, sometimes the change of pace can really do your body some good. That cheese is really gonna get your body going! I'll be stalking as usual lol.
That's great to hear cosmo! I also moved twice when I was pregnant with DD1 - once when I was 10 weeks pregnant and then again when she was 3 days old. We just renovated a home, moved in and several months later got an unsolicited offer that we couldn't pass up, so we packed up and left. Good times! ;)
Hoping that all this dairy helps, but worried it's going to go heavy boy...going to have to kick it up a notch on wine/coffee and diet cokes this week. Keep you ladies posted.
How is everyone else feeling?
Max - looks close to O for you! The dairy might just be what your body needed to regulate! I would not worry about your diet at all for the vaca week. It is the overall trend not just a few days that will make a difference. You have been on the le doiet for a while now, so that will trump a few days!!! RELAX :D
Everyone else - I am still waiting for those pee sticks.
Thanks, shan...reassuring to hear! How are you feeling??
Ugh Shan trust me the pee sticks can't come soon enough!! I think we will all be testing the beginning of next week if we can all hold out that long! I want to wait until Wednesday but I know I'm going grocery shopping Monday and will buy frer then and I'm sure I won't be able to resist it Tuesday morning [emoji23][emoji23]

LOL...Ash. That is why I only ever had ICs. And I tested starting at 8dpo usually. :) I am a total addict.
Max - honestly, I am feeling so rubbish. I am actually quite happy this is my last baby. I am getting too old for this. ;)
I'm sorry Shan, hope it gets easier soon! I also typically feel bad in my first trimester, but I'm more worried about the lack of sleep with a newborn. Anyone else?? The newborn stage is so incredibly sweet and fast, but it does give me pause when I think about how hard it also can be...
Haha Shan! How early did you get bfp with ic? I have a stack of wondfo also [emoji16]

I got my super duper faint shadow at 9 dpo (I missed it at first) and a line at 10dpo.Quote:

Hello Ladies
Pbn - That's an interesting article.I had no idea.
Iwant4kids- How are u feeling? I like your plan. Reassurance never hurts.keeping u in my thoughts and prayers.
Ash&Lolla - One more day closer to POAS. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] Fx.
Max - It doesn't look positive to me yet but super close. Hope the O shows up soon. I also worry about the sleepless nights. I just hope I can keep up this time.
Shann - Nice to hear from you. I was waiting. Hope it gets better soon. Is it the ms majorly?
Cosmo - Glad that Nausea is clearing. I never had any ms with dd but my sisters had terrible. I saw them losing so much weight. So I know how hard it is. Good luck with the move.
Afm, don't know what's going on with my chart right now. I entered the temp
And it changed my O date which doesn't add up. It put me on 5dpo. I can't O that soon. Thoughts?
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6513f2
Weird, Sky...it looks to me like you O'd on CD17?
Weird sky.... I guess anything is possible but I would definitely test with caution if you plan to test according to ff
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/23cbe8
Maxim-have you ever used the clear blue advanced digi? So much cheaper to get the wondfos, but I was having trouble reading them since mine were all pretty dark to begin with. The digi seemed to work better for me & the blank, flashing & solid smiley correlated nicely with my o pains & temp rise after. Yay for cramps, sounds like you're about to O! I agree, wouldn't worry about your "cheats" since you've been on the diet for so long! And it sounds like your body may naturally sway girl :)
Cosmo & shann-hope you both are feeling better soon!!! Cosmo-glad to hear nausea seems to be better. Shann how many weeks now and when will you have a good nub shot to guess on :)
My Ovulation Chart
I know it's so weird. I am not going to test according to ff. [emoji51] Today's temp had it all confused. There is no way I could have Oed the same day I peaked. Right?
I wish Pbn was in the same time zone. Hope she could make some
Sense out of it. [emoji15][emoji15][emoji15][emoji15]
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6513f2
Iwant - I am so s o sorry to hear your update. :( HUGS I am so sorry I did not comment on this earlier. I meant to. :(
Ash - I have no idea, I have never used FRER earlier. I am too cheap. :) But I prolly would have had a light line at 9dpo.
Lola - I am 11w2d today. I will be getting a scan at 13w (I believe). That is my genetics counseling appointment. I hope to have a good nub shot. I have pics of my 11w scan if you want to see, but it is too early for nub guessing.
Sky-not sure what to think of your chart lol. Pbn will know!! When do you typically O? CD15 is very common, so it could be right? Or maybe one of the temps threw it off?? Did you test earlier than usual? You could always try the adjusted time calculator if so. When you put a sample temp in yesterday to look at your chart, it had you Oing at 17dpo right?
My Ovulation Chart
Maxim-also forgot to mention...those newborn days are sooo hard in the beginning I know what you mean! Since this is the last one for us, maybe I won't mind it so much, they grow fast!!! [emoji4]
My Ovulation Chart
Ya it did. I am also expecting the 17 to be correct. Ya it was earlier than my usual time. An hour early.
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6513f2
I cracked [emoji31] had to run to the store for some groceries and left with a box of frer!! I'm armed and ready!! More than likely I will be using one of these babies Monday morning..... if I can wait that long.
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/23cbe8
lol, Ash!!! I love it. :D
Ash - You are hilarious and a true POAS addict. Lol. Can't wait to see the sticks.
Lolla - What is adjusted time calculator?
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6513f2
Thanks Ash.
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6513f2
LOL ash....can't wait to see! :)
