Swish - after I posted my totals yesterday I got into my chocolate fudge :suprise: I think once you cheat a little, it becomes easier to cheat more. I'm starting to think that if I have to do this diet another month (and I really, REALLY hope I don't), I might give myself one cheat day a week to eat what I want. I'm just so tired of the work involved in eating within this diet!
Me too, I'm thinking that if my attempt doesn't work this time I going to just do vegetarian and try to keep protein low but that's about it! Oh and I'll skip breakfast. I just can't go on like this, it's so depressing!!! Food can really affect your mood. Even though I've eaten loads more this cycle I haven't put on any weight, I'm really keeping my fx for us this time!!!!!!!
Btw, fudge is my favourite sweet treat!!!!
mocha and swish, I totally feel the same way. It is depressing to eat this way and for me it is especially depressing to feel unfree to just eat want I want when it comes up in my mind!
Now I´m going to give you girls some hope: I had a huge temp dip today, was worrying again about my cycle being crazy, but now I´ve looked at FF charts and it could have been an implantation dip..if my temp is up again tomorrow I´m going to test for fun, I have 10 cheap HPT so I can waste a couple :nails:
Good luck, indira!!!! Fx fir bfp!!!
Oooooo - good luck, Indira! We need some good news to keep morale up!
Swish - I just know you and I will get our BFPs this month...we HAVE to!!!
I have changed a few things and I'm trying to work out how to use less rephresh as I think this coupled with less vitex and sp will help, I hope so!!!!!
Sounds promising Indira, here's hoping! You too mocha! Where are you swish - are you waiting to O? I am officially having my last AF before our first attempt cycle. It's still around 6 weeks away but I feel really apprehensive. Not about my sway, but about ttc at all! I know I'll be fine once we're there but I've had so long to think of it and I'm usually a 'dive right in without thinking about it too much' kind of person.
Can I have some advice about licorice root for DH as I know some of yours' are using it? DH isn't keen on taking it and ideally I would have him try it out this cycle to see how the dosage affects him but I'm nervous of asking him because it would probably freak him out. If I wait until our attempt cycle and I hand him a couple of pills to take (aspirin and licorice root) before we DTD then that's probably going to go down a lot better. Do you think it's risky to not try it out until the month of our attempt even if I only give him 1 pill (half the dosage) and I make sure he tells me at the first sign that it might be getting in the way of frequent BDing so he can stop them? I can't imagine that 1 pill a day will affect him that much given the point we're starting from. Thoughts?
Sorry - had to finish that quickly as DH came and sat next to me! He knew I was writing about him because he commented on me calling him 'DH' but didn't read the content! I think I had pretty much finished anyway - just thinking something may be better than nothing!
I opted not to do licorice root since dh is very much not on board with swaying and quite honestly is not very happy with the decision to have a 4th to begin with. In fact, he thinks all these things I'm doing (such a frequent BD) are to maximise my chances of getting pregnant. If I told him we were actually trying to make it harder to get pregnant I'm sure he'd think I'd finally gone completely loopy and would opt out of the whole TTC thing completely.
So...a long way to say I can't help with any advice! :wink:
