    No Af due to diet?

    I am TTC a girl i have been on the diet again for 8 weeks..... My cycle is so messed up I have not been getting my period??? This is very rare for me has only ever happend once before and that was due to stress... what am i going to do as if i am not getting af i cant fall preg so does that mean i cant ttc a girl with diet? I am a bit concerned about this

    if AF is absent it means either you haven't OVed (or OVing late), or you're pregnant...

    it could be the stress of the diet delaying ovulation

    are you doing anything to test for OV? monitoring CM, OPKs, temping? If not, I'd strongly consider starting that

    are you underweight? being underweight can affect fertility in that way too

    I agree with rainbow totally, the reason you didn't get AF is because you didn't O yet (or you're preggo.) Testing for ovulation will reassure you when it is coming.

    Diet can mess with your cycle but this is a temporary situation. If you've lost some weight, that def. can make your ovulation delayed. You can either wait it out and do nothing - you WILL ovulate eventually - or increase your caloric intake just a bit.

    Beleive it or not, that is actually GOOD for TTC pink. The reason why we diet is to suppress fertility and yours is def. suppressed. Don't worry, it will come back.

    Well funny thing is i thought i ovulated on the 22nd of july i had all the symptoms and a tiny bit of blood lots of cm and a near close positive opk...... THEN on the 2nd of aug i had HEAPS of cm again and o cramps and only a near positive opk again never got a actual real positive it was close to tho with both times so i am not sure whats going on. I have lost 5kgs in 3 weeks which is a fair effort I was about 10kgs over weight. I took a preg test yesterday which was neg. We were going to ttc this month but i cant now. I have never had much trouble with my cycle could be out 2 or 3 days sometimes but never like this...

    I'd say you failed to ovulate on the 22nd July then - if you had ovulated your body wouldn't have been trying to OV again later on... so seems like you might be mid-2ww now
    typical that when you TTC your body likes to throw a spanner in the works, though!

    I agree with everything the girls have said and I would reinforce the idea of temping to get a better idea of O date. Last cycle my CM had virtually dried up and I had none of my usual pains associated with O. I thought my cycle was messed up but luckily I was temping and realised that I had indeed O'd albeit a day later than normal. So get your BBT thermomtre out!

    If you didn't get AF, then you didn't actually O. Those were fake Os unfortumately (stating the obvious, I'm sure!!) your body was going to O but it didn't have quite enough estrogen to trigger the surge (which may be GOOD for TTC pink.)

    Why can't you TTC this month?? You WILL ovulate in time, your body just has to save up enough estrogen to make it happen.

    that's what I'll be doing for my sway - stopping at first positive OPK. If I wasn't using RepHresh I'd just BD right through O
