Good luck momamia!
What part of cycles are people using OPKs? I usually ovulate on cd 13, 14 but last month didn't get pregnant with one attempt 1-2 days before positive OPK. That was a shocker to me.
I swear being on the diet for almost 8 weeks has changed stuff a lot.
Should I start using the wondfo OPKs a lot earlier than CD 8?

Who else here is doing vitex and SP?
I wasn't recommended to take them based on my personalized plan.
Just doing folic acid and fiber for me.

Hello ladies! We will be trying for a girl in april:) I Had a loss (in week 13) one month ago (unknown gender).. Now I'm looking forward, and praying for a healthy baby this spring.
Healthygirl, thanks! I was told by my RE to use opks starting at cd5. I agree that the diet has changed a lot of stuff!! I only take folate and fiber too.
Welcome, Cocosagirl! So sorry for your loss!! I had a 13 week loss between DS1 and DS2. How are you doing? Good luck and FX for a healthy sticky bean! :)
Well, last night I got a really weird/painful tearing feeling near my incision. I'm not sure what that's all about but hopefully my doctor will know what it is and how to make it stop!!
Have a great day everyone! :)
Thanks, momamia4. I´m doing ok:) I have two boys to keep me busy, and now I also have the 1 hour a day-cardio to keep my mind off what happened... Hoping for better luck next time:)
Its really hard doing the LE-diet this time. I get headache easily, and feel that I need to eat more often (and more calories) than I did the last time I swayed. My body is probably recovering from the loss, and I guess I need to listen to what it wants... Still trying to eat less protein and fat than normal. Not taking any supplements (except fibre and folic acid).
Nice to be in this group:)
Welcome cocosagirl!

So, I just got back from my doctor appointment. He said the pain could be from an irritated nerve near the incision. He said that hopefully it will heal/stop hurting as some more time passes. If the pain doesn't stop, I will have to have another surgery to kill the nerve. So, I am really hoping that it heals on its own and quickly! I really don't want another surgery.
As for the clomid, he said he'd rather that I wait until the end of April to start trying. I have to go back for an exam then and that's when he'll give me the clomid. Right now he wants me to focus on healing, which I have to agree with. So, kind of disappointing but understandable. FX for fast healing!! :)
Sending healing thoughts to you mommamia, pain is no fun!!
Thanks, Ash! :-) I can definitely use all the positive thoughts I can get.
Welcome, Cocoasgirl! I'm coming off two back-to-back losses, the latest at 11 weeks. Hugs! Swaying again is harder, and I'm doing the PCOS diet version, which seems to be better for me at the moment. I totally need more than what I was getting on LE right now.
Sending healing vibes your way, momamia!
Well, AF came this week, so it looks like I will be trying in March after all! I'm going to work a bit harder at getting my exercise in this month. It's so hard with a full time job and the 3 kids though...ugh. I just need about 3 more hours in the day. :) Especially since my high schooler just started homeschooling! I'm hoping I can get him out walking with me once in a awhile and call it "P.E."
Sorry for your losses cocoasgirl & girliedreamz!!
Can someone tell me what time of day it's best to do the OPK? I usually do early in morning with first catch before going to work.
Also as far BD I saw someone mention to BD at times of day when testosterone levels are the lowest. Is that credible and if so what part of day is that?
Thanks

forgive me if im wrong but you arent meant to use first urine as it can take up to 4 hours after waking for lh surge to show in your urine.best to test between 10am and 6pm imo :happy:
I agree, your testing too early!
Yup, I routinely use second morning urine on OPKs and try very hard to go between 10:30-11:30am. If it is almost positive but not quite, I will try testing again at 2-3pm.
Thanks so much ladies.
I'm due to ovulate in 3-4 days and don't want to miss it this month since I got a bfn last month with 1 attempt ( 1 day before positive opk).

Good luck!!!!
Hi ladies! I have been doing my reading and think i am ready to join you :) I have 2 boys (age 4.5 and 2.5) and would LOVE to add some pink. I don't know how strict I can do the diet but trying the main elements and the external elements for dry cm. I bought a fertility monitor so we shall see if this helps. Just do the opposite of what I did to have my boys!
Anyone having a tough time losing weight? I am eating within the calorie range, pushing breakfast as long as I can, and having small meals with no snacking. What's going on?!
Welcome pebbles!!! What month are you ttc? As for the losing weight, I'm swaying blue but when I'm dieting, sometimes I won't lose weight for awhile and then suddenly it all comes off at once!! When did you start the diet?
I started 2 months ago and last month I started a drink before meals to reduce appetite with fiber and magnesium...works for me re:appetite but no weight loss :(
Are you exercising too? You WILL lose weight if your using more calories then you eat! Have you considered getting an app that counts all your calories? Sometimes I find out that I'm eating a lot more then I think.... Is anybody else on the LE diet having the same problems?
Hi Pebbles! I have the same problem. Are you doing the regular LE or the alternate/pcos version? Maybe you need to increase the intensity of your workouts. I have a hard time losing weight with the diet too and I have to exercise to lose any weight on it. The fiber really helps too.

Can someone please tell me if this is positive?
Should I take another one today?
I don't want to miss Ovulation.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I would say it's not positive but Def take another later today
To my understanding, it would have to be as dark or darker....
Try to retest after dinner. Not positive yet but close.
Thanks ladies. I will test again tonight.

Really? I thought for sure it was.

Personally I would take this as a positive. This is what mine looked like last time I got pregnant. I figured there was no point stressing over it. And I got pregnant first time first month trying. Good luck
Do you have any other brand to back it up with? Do you have CM?
Mine looked similar and I took them as positives, maybe a little bit darker.
I don't have another brand.
I didn't bd last night :(
Hoping for tonight.

That is about as positive as my opks ever got. And I got pregnant twice with one attempt! Go for it.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
agree 2 boys
Once you ovulate how long does the egg stick around for? 24 hours?
My CM is more watery than egg white.
Is that ideal? I did take a Zyrtec a few hours ago and plan to use sylk. I'm worried about making the environment too hostile.
Also used rephresh almost 2 days ago.

I got watery cm the day I ovulated. Think its 12-24 hours
Definitely go for it tonight, healthy girl! I agree with eleena. I think it's 12-24 hours.
I agree, go for the egg!!! Lol fx for you!!
