Ugh, I am still waiting on AF. I have been having cramps on and off since Friday. Extended BFing and the minipill totally messed me up. I thought I'd be back in business by now. I am getting really sick of this! I just want to get this cycle started! I have also been cheating really badly all weekend and even today. I really need to get strict again.
It's really hard to be strict on anything when you're stressed. You can only do your best! I stopped BF nearly three months ago so I am not certain of my cycle either. I am just hoping that I get a +OPK two weeks after AF. That's what we're timing it to anyway. Fingers crossed!Quote:

Homemade hummous is nice on homemade bread as you can cut out the salt in both then. For dinners I am having lots of veggies, rice, potatoes, pasta and beans. I've done more creative cooking lately than I normally do but have discovered some things I will cook again (like black bean burgers in homemade spelt burger buns). Definitely want a BFP this month as I miss my meat!Quote:

I really think the diet has lowered my testosterone because this is the first month where i didn't even really want to have sex. LOL. Usually i am ready to go!
I've also been eating lots of cucumbers...i actually love green beans. Last night i had a little pasta with green beans and cucumbers mixed together with a little bit of parmesean cheese on it. I made this amazing zucchini bread for the boys and it's killing me, i want some so bad!! I am gonna wait a few more days...pretty sure I O'd this morning. Then i am about to have a feast. I feel starved. Praying i get my BFP this month. :/
Some of you ladies sound like you're not eating the 1200-1500 calories!Quote:

I try and get to 1500 too but seem to eat far more food to get there than most of the posts I see! I end up having lemonade and chocolate to get up higher! Not often you feel you are allowed to eat chocolate and sweet things ;)
That wasn't all i had for dinner though! I also had a mini pita with homemade hummus and cucumbers stuffed in it.Quote:
