Diet and cycle...please help

[Pebbles1012]

So I started a slow transition into the LE diet over a couple months. I went full force in March with skipping breakfast and my cycle went completely out of whack. I am now on day 49!!! Cm would come and go. I was hoping to start trying this month.

With timing and knowing ones cycles being so important, what am I to do?!

And no, I'm not pregnant (took 2 tests).

If and when I get AF should I be sticking with the diet/skipping breakfast? Other than that I have been taking 2 aspirin weekly, folic daily and an appetite suppressor with magnesium and fiber

Anyone else experienced this?

I heared before that cycles can get really messed up when you start on LE.

How many cals, fat, carbs and proteins are you on? Make sure you're not too low, especially when you are excercising.

[Pebbles1012]

I don't think I am too low (although I should track better). I was not being super strict and mostly keeping to the principles of LE.
No time to exercise.

Is this your first time actively tracking your cycles?

Oh my gosh I don't feel so alone!!!! I was on a light LE diet for 3 months and started getting more strict for 2 months I was really sick with a cold when I got my AF at the beginning of March and did not ovulate, the result I thought from being sick.I was really disappointed as that was going to be our first attempted, but now I'm on day 32 of my normal 26 day cycle and still no AF!! I have also taken 3 test with BFN. Any advice?

Timing isn't important at all and neither is knowing one's cycle.

What I would do is start BD every 4 days from here on in, we are getting astounding success with that of late, and that way you'll be covered when the egg arrives (which it will, eventually)

Can you tell me more about what you're doing for diet? Sometimes people say they're doing LE and it turns out they are starving themselves.

Colds can def. delay ovulation.

Can you tell me more what you mean by "more strict"??

My general recommendation, when O goes missing, is add in 1 serv. full fat dairy a day, 4-6 eggs a week, and 1 serv. salmon (if you like it) or red meat (if you don't) per week. This works well for fixing cycles.

For me No. When ttc with both ds3&4 I tracked for 3 months. I got pg first attempt with both, I did not temp with ds3, I did with 4. The only wonky thing was my luteal phase was a touch on the shorter side (which may have counted for 1 mc and blighted ovum before ds3.)

Still no sign of AF. I have no pregnancy symptoms but my cervix (TMI) feels longer and harder then normal?!?! More strict for me was going from 3 meals a day to the 2 meals and I was eating small amounts of pork now I only have eggs or chicken every few days! I am at the lower end of the LE limits but still feel full after my meals. I however was not eating much of anything for a few days when I got really sick and lost an extra 3 lbs and that pushed me to only 103 lbs, my smallest ever! I'm only 5 foot but I think maybe that weight loss might have helped put me in this situation!! It's a little frustrating after there was zero effort when I got BFP with my boys! I might end up making a Dr apt if AF does not show and my weird cervix thing does not change!
