Diet causing early ovulation?

I've seen a lot of ladies mention that the diet has caused delayed ovulation but do many people notice earlier ovulation? Since starting the diet in January (and I can't say I'm really even following it to a T), I've noticed that my cycles are getting shorter. The last two cycles, I've ovulated on day 14/15 when I was always pretty consistently at day 17 at the very earliest and even as late as day 21.

I'm not taking any supplements besides folic acid and fiber and the fiber has only been the last 4 days or so. I have been drinking white wine daily and 2-3 cups of coffee/day.

It's less common but definitely happens. If you have PCOS tendencies or were overweight to begin with, earlier O actually makes sense on the diet/while losing weight.

I think it's possible. Last cycle I O'ed on cd17 and before that cd19 which is early for me. It probably just depends on how the LE diet affects your body.

It's certainly made me o earlier and earlier to the point that this cycle I o'd on day 8. I'm now worried that this it too early for me to have a good lining for implantation. Does anybody know if this is the case?

I don't know if I have PCOS but Atomic recommended the PCOS diet for me as I am overweight and possibly IR. So should I take it as a good sign that things are changing?

I would absolutely consider it a great sign!

Ksmom is exactly right that it's all down to how the diet affects your individual biology.

Frilly, CD8 isn't NECESSARILY too early, you can absolutely still conceive a healthy baby from early O, but if early O wasn't common for you before I might be concerned. Can you post your chart? Or are you using OPKs? How old are you?

I don't have a chart maiden I use a Clearblue fertility monitor with cheaper OPK sticks which pick my o up much better than the monitor. Plus I always got really bad o pain. I'm an oldie at 41 so I know I've not got much time left!

Not to scare you but early O, if it wasn't usual for you before, in your 40s can mean menopause is nearing.

Yeah I know, you haven't scarred me. My recent bloods all came back fine for my age and I'm still ovulating so I'll keep going with my fingers crossed. :fingers:

In fact maiden I was reading up on being peri menopausal a few months ago and it's says I only have about a 5% chance of conceiving. I've got to start thinking past all this swaying and start thinking about what I'm going to do. So me and dh have booked a week abroad together on our own for the first time. My boys are older teenagers now and can run house together alone so that's just a little of what I have to look forward to if I don't get pregnant! Don't get me wrong I'm already feeling a little devastated about not having a dd but I have two fantastic young men to be thankful for. :highfive:

Yes it does happen and is also affiliated with more girls conceived.

I Oed early when I conceived my daughter - CD 12 as opposed to 14

:agree: yes when we see people who were Oing CD 21 and start Oing CD 14 this is a good sign we are on the right track with doing the alt diet. :)

Please don't overthink those numbers, they are based on really old data that is probably not even that true. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/late...d-article.html

As long as you're still ovulating, you are in with a chance.

Can you post a chart?

It is early but I know of several people who've had early O's and conceived.

I don't chart atomic, wouldn't know how to! I tend to just go with the sticks as I always get a good gradual fade in a really dark line for a day then a fade out. I'm hoping that that's good enough. I usually o on day 10 but this month on day 8 was a shock but my af is always dot on 14 days later. I've been quite ill with a bad back and been taking meds for it so I'm hoping it's just knocked me off balance a little. We'll soon see but thanks for the info I'm going to read it now.
