Here is the vitex I use. The brand is solaray. It is guaranteed potency. 225mg chaste berry extract and 100 mg vitex. So 325mg total I take 3 a day for 975mg a day. I discussed this with Atomic before starting....

They changed the menu up a bit, so there were SLIGHTLY friendly choices! In the end, I was able to get cous cous instead of hummus, which I think will help with my totals today! And they were all in sensible portions, not huge amounts. I DID eat all the pita bread and less than half of the tortilla chips, though... and I gave my husband the other half of the tortilla chips and gave him about a little over 1/3rd of the artichoke hearts because of the olive oil. But, otherwise, think I did okay! The cous cous was made there so it was not full of salt or oils. It tasted pretty plain... just had some sundried tomatoes in it (which were pretty dry.)

That looks okay, for eating out, yeah? Ha. I'm only going to eat if I get hungry tonight and going to keep it really light/basic (due to the olive oil in the artichoke hearts which I'm sure was fattening.) And the dressing was like a balsamic vinaigrette. And there was probably less than a tablespoon on the salad, if that...
Officially going to start FR tonight. I'm worried my cycle could be shorter (or heck, longer...) but I don't want to mess up if it is shorter. My period has been a LOT lighter than it normally is, so that's why I feel it's necessary to start FR tonight. My husband seems very serious about his job and said he'll add extras in if he can on his own, which I was surprised to hear because he never even has the energy for that! I think he's suddenly into doing this sway!
We all three have colds right now. I feel terribly run down today.
That looks really yummy, suregena! Good choices!
hey zan didnt realise you only did one attempt on O day, thats what were planning but with abstinance, of about 10-14 days, do you roughly know when you ovulated to when your attempt was, was it a 0+12 ?
does anyone else use ph strips, you know the ones you get off ebay for like 99c, how do you use them, TMI i know but i got a bit of cm put it on the strip and it didnt really change colour at all ?
My strips never change colour either. Back when I was on IG many years ago, Tamara told me that means I have 'low ionic strength' and can't use ph strips. Apparently with a PH monitor you can still get readings, but I never bothered investing in one, and stopped worrying too much about ph this time swaying, anyway. I just hoped that with the diet, Baby Aspirin and rephresh, my ph was low enough....

There is NO WAY i can get him to release more then once a day now he just has nothing left to give ( usually he does not ever help himself and we would usually dtd every 3 days) Anyway I can get him to release still once a day but its so hard for him to do and does not happen on the first try of releasing, what does this mean are his T levels pretty low now??? I am worried to have my attempt because i had big plans of having him release once or twice on attempt day then use the next batch for dtd. What should I do???
Wow, you started early! Do you think you'll O soon? I think you just need to keep going at once at day and not worry about using the second batch etc when it's time to DTD.Quote:
