4 days late

[Prayingforagirl67]

Has anyone else’s period been delayed since starting their diet? I am like clockwork when it comes to my period. This is my 2nd week in the diet, is it possible that that’s why I’m late?

I do feel quite crampy and have some whiteish discharge (sorry for the tmi) and lower back pain. I keep waking up feeling like I’m going to have it, just to see discharge. I’m really hoping I didn’t ovulate late, because my husband and I haven’t been careful, after I think I’m in the clear (since my cycles really are clockwork)

I took a dollar store pregnancy test yesterday and it was negative:
Anyone else experience this?

Your period only comes late when you ovulate late, and since you didn't start the diet till 2 weeks ago, it's not possible that the diet could have made your ovulation late.

Were you under stress at all? Or exercising, sick, realy busy, short on sleep? Doing anything else unusual with diet prior to starting LE?

You DID ovulate late. There's no doubt about that, since your cycles are normally like clockwork and your period hasn't arrived. You can't have a delayed period unless your ovulation was also delayed.

The question is could you be pregnant and it just not registering on tests yet, and the answer to that is also yes.

I would stop having unprotected sex if you dont' want to possibly conceive (you could be about to ovulate!) and keep testing if AF doesn't arrive

I did have c-diff at the end of January and into the beginning of February and went under a lot of stress at that time. From beginning of feb to now I’ve lost 25 lbs.

I’m semi freaking out because when I wasn’t sick my diet was very boy. If I am pregnant I definitely didn’t have enough time for my sway to have worked.

Definitely will no longer be having unprotected sex until it’s time to conceive if I’m not.

Really hoping I get it soon!

Please don't freak out, you can still have a girl.

Like I said sickness can delay ovulation, but in addition to that, weight loss is the #1 reason for a delay or stop in ovulation.. Losing 25 lbs in such a short time is a huge amount of weight to have lost in a months' time, it would be a miracle if your O was on time after that! I would try to slow down the rate you're losing and please add in the following (in addition to you LE Diet foods):

1 serving of full fat dairy a day
4-6 eggs a week
1 serving of salmon if you like it, fatty red meat if you don't, per week.

Drop fiber if you're using it.

[Prayingforagirl67]

That makes a lot of sense. It’s so strange because I’ve been having the discharge for quite some time now. My cycle is probably all messed up.

I’ve been having about 7 eggs a week so far, I’ll be sure to add in the salmon and or beef.

The only fiber I get is in the form of the foods I eat, should I cut back on fiber all together or just if I was taking it in pill form?

[atomic sagebrush]

Just if in pill form.

If you haven't ovulated yet, you can have weeks of EWCM/pre-ovulation discharge.

Or, it could be a vaginal infection, sometimes they are opportunistic and if you were being treated for the C-diff with antibiotics that may have given microbes a foothold. It may be worth having it checked out in that case.

[Prayingforagirl67]

I’ll definitely have that checked out. Prior to having the c diff I was sick constantly from work.

I’m so mad at myself, I’m so used to being “regular” that my husband and I have been using NFP as birth control. It’s been fool proof. I feel so dumb now, I just hope if I am pregnant luck is on my side lol we dtd unprotected last night so if I’m ovulating now, oy vey

[atomic sagebrush]

oh you're using NFP though?? Do you have a chart I can see?

[Prayingforagirl67]

This is my cycle for February. They’re usually pretty consistent, depending on how many days in the month, usually it only fluctuate s a day or so, the times that we did dtd in and around the fertile period were protected. The 23 and 26 were unprotected.
I don’t usually temp but I do check the CM, I really never have a lot of EWCM, it’s usually just a clear discharge, since the beginning to my fertile period to now it’s stated exactly the same. Just clear and slippery. I don’t know if that helps at all.

I was supposed to get my period on Saturday or Sunday.

No temping? I'm not going to be able to tell when or whether you ovulated without the temping, sorry.

These apps are just about garbage. I have had several people get pregnant without intending to while relying on apps.

Since you're still getting slippery discharge it's possible that you haven't Oed yet, be sure you are using protection!

All we can do now is wait and see what happens - FXFXFX for best possible outcome, whatever that may be.
