Wow that's alot! Where did you order from? I'm thinking I should probably use some to confirm what my monitor says.

I'm going to try to just do one a day, but I have a feeling I'll end up going through the whole box!

Katie how did you load a ticker? I have been trying to figure it out but can't

Question for all you ladies trying this month & those who have already gotten there bfp....how long were you on the diet, or going to be on the diet if you get your bfp this month when you ovulated??
I ask b/c this month when I ovulate I will have been on the diet for 3.4 weeks -- so when I get my bfp (if I get it..) it will be 5.4 weeks. Do you think it is too soon for me to try? I have to say, I have been on and plan to stay very very strict. Am always only 1100-1300 calories a day, under 20 grams fat, 40grams or under protein & 600 or under sodium daily. The 4 days prior to o til day after I plan to do a mini fast (only 2 meals day, 1cup skim milk, 1 nonfat yogurt, 1 cup white rice)....I don't wan those boys thinking they can survive in me
Anyhow, would just like to hear from you ladies...thoughts and what your plan is on time on the diet.

I too have only been on the diet for a short time like you but i am hoping that changing your diet even for a short amount of time is better than nothing, plus it is completely different to how i ate when i conceived my boys so i am hoping that it will make a difference. And we will be using other sway techniques remember. I'm on CD3 now and am being really strict until i O, hardly eating anything and basically the same thing everyday. So hopefully my body gets a shock to the system and will only let in at the gate!!

And thanks everyone for being so welcoming

Purple sky , I just buy mine at the chemist because i find the cheaper ones harder to use but this month i am finding them all hard to use.. I have brought two different brands together so i can compare them.

From which site? It has to be PseudoHTML, UBBCode or BB Code... I think.

It's HTML but i don't know where to load it on GD.
Lala - Welcome. I think you have a good chance, anything different is better than nothing imo. I messed up so much around the Holidays that I too will be about 3 weeks back into the diet. Part of me hopes i get a bfn until March even though I really really want to hurry up and get pregnant.. lol

i was getting mine on ebay.
it was 50 of them for $9
they are only the cheapies but i have never had any trouble reading them.

go up to settings then down the left hand side there is an "edit signature" button
you paste the code in there...

Lala, prayforprincess, purple sky, I will only have been on the diet for a few weeks. My naturopath (who also helps women sway) said she recommends women do it from CD1, so basically it is only 2 weeks until O. This is mostly because she knows that your thyroid function can be messed around if you are on a low salt diet for too long. Also, if it is a big change from your normal diet you will see a result faster. So keep doing what you are doing. It is easier to stick to the diet strictly if it is not for too long as well. And you should not feel guilty about enjoying Christmas. We've still gotta live!

You girls are so lucky you will O soon! Hopefully i will O in the next 10-15 days. I'm thinking I will use over the counter progesterone cream after O is confirmed on my ovacue monitor.

I still have about 20 days to wait!! I think I am the last for the month. Lucky last?!
