I'm on cycle day 18 and my opks are stark white. Doesn't feel like it ever will happen. Last month, I had some faint lines leading up to positive. But I'm not regular so I'm just spending my days poas....

I hope the diet and exercise aren't messing with me. I'm not eating so well. It's getting difficult when I don't have my house completely stocked with different foods. I'm running out of ideas and don't want to look at iceberg lettuce anymore. Or matzo. Ugh.

Me too! I hate the diet and over exercising. I usually follow a boy friendly lifestyle and exercise to a T, and this is a big change for me. I hope you get your pos opk soon! Fx for you!

Thanks Noemi. I wish I could!! I did that in June and we made a vacation of it. But now I can't make a one day trip. He's going from NYC to Phoenix so it's from one coast to another, which translates to a 6 hour flight, 3 hour time difference, a 3 year old to carry along, and probably a $1000 ticket on short notice :-)

I was really hoping that July will be my month. I'm doing the exercise and sway and pushing myself.
My DH just called to say that all of next week he has to be out of town on work. His boss ' boss' s boss (a C level executive) is flying in from the UK and he has to make a presentation to him.

I ovulate on CD 20 and DH will be away from CD 17 afternoon to CD 21 midnight! Effectively my baby making window is ruined! I never ovulate early. Usually CD 19 or 20. Obviously, it's work and we can't do anything, but now I have to wait until Aug end to TTC. I'm frustrated. I was going to do one attempt this cycle! I just want a baby so badly :(

Oh no boooo! Maybe have an attempt right before he has to leave and lay down for a while longer, so hopefully some will still make it from CD17 to CD20? Is cd20 your usual O day or +opk day?

I'll do that shinay, and hope for the best!
Sometimes things happen beyond our control and stress doesn't do anything but damage! :)
I usually get my first pos opk on CD 18 and turns back to neg by CD 20 eve. FF showed me that I ovulated on CD 20 for majority of my cycles this year,except the wonky one in June!

I can exercise 3x a week, but more than that leaves me tired and I don't look forward to it anymore. Btw I also off exercise since my June 2 WW. I just pulled myself back on the wagon few days ago! With a toddler, 5 times a week of hour long exercise is draining! I'm doing LE pcos I guess (I avoid white carbs as much as I can, just for overall health benefits) and I eat brown rice or quinoa as my main grain. My breakfasts are delayed and I do smoothies with almond milk&fruits. For lunch I do veggies and quinoa or bread. Dinners are soup, lentils, salad or whatever I make for the family. I cheat most days and have a snack because I'm the hungriest between 5 and 7.30, and dinner isn't ready until 8.
I don't like alcohol, so I force myself to do wine 2-3 times a week. I don't think my diet is very traditional, but I tailored it to fit my overall health and food principles.
I've been vegetarian all my life, so that part was easy :)
What's your diet like?

I agree that it's too draining. I could do 30 mins at a time...the hour is just too long for me. So since mid may I've been debating on whether that would sway blue or benefit the pcos more.

I'm also doing le pcos. I have a coffee (no sugar) first thing in the morning, fruit smoothie with whole milk yogurt and almond butter for bfast, lunch is usually whole grain rice, some sort of veg and small portion of chicken and I just added salmon about twice a week. Then for dinner, I usually have another cup of coffee with 1/3 cup whole milk, grilled cheese on spelt bread and just added an egg. The salmon and egg I added to try to boost my fertility as atomic suggested, so fingers crossed it helps. If I get snackish, I try to have another cup of coffee (like a weak cup) or just some tea to cut my peckishness. Since adding the salmon and increasing my fats and protein a bit, I've been way more satisfied but I have put back on a couple pounds (which I needed tbh) which is why I feel like just giving up the sway and focus on just getting pregnant.
