Sorry. Totally with you. I blinked and got pregnant with 5 boys. What else were you doing with your sway besides diet and exercise? Dh isnt doing anything. No showers before, no vitamins. I did J&D after about 15 minutes, and went to sleep. Nothing else. No abstinence. I have ZERO libido. O came hard and good. Extreme actually. I thought for sure it was the month. Had blazing OPK too and O on that same day. So BD was a few hours after O.

I'm hungry. Honestly I dont want to see coffee anymore. I started snacking over the day this past week cuz I knew it wasnt the month and it made me sad and low blood sugar didnt help. Didnt exercise either. I will keep pushing off breakfast but I dont think I will continue counting calories. And I think I'm done with aspartame too. I always eat full dairy and never stopped. Started eating fish and chicken. I'll stay away from fortified food... ugh

And now moon phases, Chinese calendar (although debubked), and seasons are ALL not working in my favor for the next few months.

I hear you! I really do, I had 3 boys no worries and I understand how frustrating it is. Have you considered e4d? I’m not sure where you are with that,because you can move from there to e4d plus 1 at OPk, and then there’s a way to move from there. I think it’s SMEP.
Or even posting to atomic ? She would be able to guide you to the next best move ? I would be dropping aspartame and J and D before you drop diet. And maybe look at vegetarian ? Or even look at the LE diet for PCOS ? I believe it is better for blood sugar issues . Sending you much love and luck x

I’m sorry to hear that [emoji17] boo to AF. And I get how frustrating it is. It does take normal couples 3-6 months to get pregnant , so it’s not unusual [emoji8][emoji8]
I had to google Ava braclet LOL it looks helpful, but I hadn’t heard about it before now.

Ok so update! This new donor showed up!! We met at ihop and talked with him and did paperwork and everything is great he is super nice! But we are not doing attempt till next cycle. It was 11 30 at night so everyone was tired and we just found out we are maid of honor and bridesmaid to my sister in laws wedding June 12. We didn't want to bring a new born baby to a big wedding so I rather just be big pregnant then [emoji23]. So now just waiting for CD 1..

I can't do vegetarian and make food separate for myself and my family. Im going to try to keep low on protein and fat, but I'm going to stop calorie counting. Whatever I eat will be what I eat. Im going to limit meat, but not eliminate. I'll keep skipping breakfast when I can. Just going to be more laid back about it. And I think I'm skipping J&D. I'm going to check out e4d, great idea. I know it is totally normal not to conceive right away. And I know many women wait months and months to conceive. I just don't have that time. Every cycle makes it more probable that I wont go through with it. Its straining on too much. Here's to trying again. To ttc girl in fall winter on a full moon.....

Saying no opk's and no counting calories, and no temping, is like saying I won't test. Ridiculous.

I have two boys and lost my 3rd son at 18 weeks and had a chemical pregnancy last cycle. I’m wondering if I should just take these as signs it’s just not supposed to happen for me.

Yeah just try what you can [emoji8] it has to fit into your life, and there’s no point in being miserable . I think if you can move even slightly in a pink direction it can help tilt the odds. How long have you been doing this?
It may be time to change some things?

I also don’t have a great deal of time, so I’ve had to do things that are manageable for me and my family.
I’ve limited red meat, I don’t snack and delay my lunch , I make lots of vegetables or salads at meal times. And try and stay within the fat/protein limits. While adding full fats and some eggs, But that’s all I can manage, time wise and for me personally. I can’t do grains they really mess with my blood sugar.
And I can only do one coffee a day, and sometimes I have to have it with my meal, because especially from O -AF my blood sugar goes haywire. Hormones !!! Argh!!!!

I’ve been doing e4d and it’s actually quiet refreshing and simple , you don’t have to think about it, you just pick your method, 72 or 96hr version and that’s it. No opks or temp If you chose .

Big hugs [emoji847]

I caved in and tested early this morning. I'm 13 dpo and the test was positive before the control line appeared, that's never happened to me before. Is that normal? Is the test defective? I'm not sure whether to be excited or not. Calling OB to ask for bloodwork to confirm as that test was my last one and I don't want to be unsure. Attachment 40293

Congrats!!!! That isn't defective. That means there is a LOT of hcg. Lol. You should have gotten a positive day's ago. Enjoy!!!!
