Good luck Midwest. You're starting a month before us so you get to find out first. I can't wait to see what your ultrasound pics.
Good luck Midwest :)
I'm feeling nervous too Midwest. I'm not going to tell dh when I'm near/am ovulating to minimise any anxiety on dh's part. Just finished af and hoping to successfully attempt this cycle.
I need your help ladies! Tonight when I went to the bathroom I noticed on my undies that I had ewcm.. ive never had that!! Must be the supplements? No clue. Anyway im cd 13 and my ovulation test was negative at 1pm. I dont have anymore to test with tonight im just wondering how far in advance of ovulation can you get ewcm? The opk test was negative but ive been cramping on/off all day and now this! Im confused.
I'm so full! Yet... always hungry!
Ugh....
I didn't see your post rubygem but it could be the supplements and the HE diet producing EWCM. I know that ewcm means you are fertile, hope the other ladies can chime in.
Rubygem,
I always get one big glob of ewcm with a tinge of blood 5-6 days before ovulation and 1-2 days of watery cm and about 4days of ewcm. You are on the right path and sound about right 😆
Good Luck Boysway,
I think your time is coming up. Hopefully its a one hit wonder. Keeping my fingers crossed for you. 💜
I wake up in the mornings feeling HUGE!!! And then, I have to eat breakfast LOL!!Quote:

I'm full after 2 bites but she makes me finish my bowl of oatmeal. I am a bit of hypocrit I make them finish their food so I must practice what I preach.
Me too! I usually don't eat until about noon. I find cereal much easier to eat in the morning but oatmeal really good for boy sways.
Hi all - I'm actually loving the HE diet! I don't feel full all the time - I think it's because I mainly use my juices as my carbs. Have you tried that? If you have a lovely big steak and a glass of fresh orange juice and some avocado salad, you really don't feel stuffed. Or maybe I have a bigger appetite than you!
Hi Janamomof3girls - Are we meant to eat oatmeal more than x1? I have it for breakfast every day...Quote:

Just once like Midwest said. I eat oatmeal or cereal every morning. I also eat yogurt or cereal before bed. I'm so glad you're doing well tm29!
Another good breakfast idea- apple with Peanut butter.. its filling and full of good nutrients..
Apple with pb is one of my main snacks here too Newbee.
Mmm That sounds good I'm going to go have some right now...lol
Today I've found myself getting hunger pains which I never felt before. Maybe I'm adjusting to it... but worried I'm going to start to pack on a lot of pounds. :omg:
I have found if I don't eat or have a big enough snack every three hours I begin feeling sick. That's a new thing for me. I've been on the diet since January. I'll have to try the pb with Apple, sounds good. Apparently avocado with celery is also good.
Thats interesting Boysway...will try that Celery and avocado.. I love both....also I am getting heart palpitations...due to so much potassium...anyone dealing with that??
Yes boysway and 3Gmom, I feel weird about gaining weight too!
Newbee- are you taking potassium supplements? Or is your potassium coming from food?Quote:

Newbee, that is scary. What other supp are you taking?
How's everyone's weekend?
I am so sick of hamburger meat. Blegh.
Me too Midwest! I was just thinking the same thing last night. You can have other meats too. Chicken has tons of protein. Lots of boy moms eat bacon and pork too. Make some steaks!!
Tmi time... is anyone else still pretty dry? I do think preseed will help us a lot... I get turned on easily, but it's like the slightest little wrong moves durinf sex will briefly turn me off and I dry up. It is so frustrating
Hello..I was out for the weekend..I am taking following supplements: Folic Acid, Potassium-99mg, Vitamin D3, Prenatal, Evening Primrose oil , Fish Oil.
But i think lately my potassium intake increased to reach the 4000 mg as recommended...I think my body is not used to that much of potassium..just wondering whether i should still continue for few weeks...in the diet..
Also I am TTC october..but it seems based on this cycle I might ovulate last few days of September. That makes my nervous.
I think since I am taking all these pills, my cycle reduced from 32 days to 29 days.. Is that ok?
Newbee- are you drinking the potassium drinks? I think 29 day cycles are fine.
I a having baking Soda drink. But I think I am feeling better now...may be its also coz of so much food on HE diet...my body is getting used to it.
If you don't usually have a lot of potassium in your diet, you want to gradually work up to that large amount. That might have been what was causing it!
Same here!!!!Quote:

Nothing wrong with a 29 day cycle either :)
Boysway, how's everything going with you? Update please :happy:
You're sweet for asking Jana.
I am feeling very nervous. I am thinking more and more that O will be this Saturday if not earlier. Fade in has begun with my OPK's and *TMI* I have ewcm which doesn't usually happen for me. I really hope we are in with an attempt this cycle. Last cycle I O on CD 15 (usually CD 19-21). It's looking like this cycle may very well be the same as last time. I have 'booked' dh in for bd tomorrow, lol. He has no idea O is coming up and I don't want to tell him. Although, he has asked when we will be trying for real. His words "When are we going live?" Lol.
That's great news! I really hope this is your month! I think it's for the best you haven't told your husband yet, that way you don't ruin your bd attempt, by him feeling pressured!! Good luck!
Thanks :)
Boysway- Good luck with your attempt..Sending lots of blue dust on your way....
I will try coconut water and V8.
You may need to try a few brands before you find one you like. Some taste pretty bad. I found coconut water a little sweet to start with now I thoroughly enjoy it.
Mix the coconut water with orange juice. I get a huge 8 oz glass and fill it with half of each. Coconut water tastes horrible alone to me!
