TTC Girl - February 2012

how much weight have you lost hun since being on the diet ?

I started at 115 or thereabouts and around the time of "supposed" ovulation (since I don't really know now) I was 103...


So, maybe too much, too fast.
I didn't NEED to lose weight, considering I'm already lower than the weight I was with conceiving my son, and I am the sort of ideal BMI, but, you know!

I started the diet, with a lot of cheating at the start because of the season, around the first/second week of December.

I'm now eating half and half, though. Been eating my diet lunches as normal at work but dinners have been mostly whatever my husband and son are eating. I'm still hovering around 107, though.

i think you may find thats the answer hun JMO, the vitex did great for me it made me O both times the first time 15 days after last pill and the 2nd 13 days after last pill, if i dont get pregnant with the 3 months i have on clomid il def use it again !

H&D citirizine is a different form of antihistamine than zyrtec hun,

Funny I looked at my box of generic zyrtec and citirizine IS the main ingredient!

Suregena~I think temping in your months off is a great idea. I watches my cycle for months before attempting and knew my cycles pretty well. It does always seem that it's different when you attempt, but I think it's a great idea nonetheless

Funny I looked at my box of generic zyrtec and citirizine IS the main ingredient!

maybe its the same then just diff names in different places ?

Suregena, temping sounds great to me!
i was temping every month as soon as my son was born.
i was using it as a method of contraception, since im not allowed to use any hormone based ones, so by charting i could avoid my fertile times every month.

also figured it would be a good idea to know exactly what my body was doing, so that when we tried again we would have a better shot at pink.

I used to work in a drugstore and citrizine is the same thing as the active ingredient in Zyrtec and generic Zyrtec.

[HopeandDreamG]

maybe its the same then just diff names in different places ?

Maybe its that Zyrtec is just a "name brand" and the active ingredient in several name brands of antihistimaines is citirizine, iykwim!

I now have a BBT, etcetera, so maybe I should start charting my temps when AF returns, i.e. after it finishes, to create a "view" of how my cycle works? Is that a good idea?

Yes! I ALWAYS temp without fail, even if I am sick or maybe didn't get enough sleep. I feel much more secure in what my body is doing and it's really kind of interesting to see sometimes how stress can affect ovulating (temp gears up for O and then drops back down if your body isn't ready).

[suregena]

If anyone can offer me some "temping schooling" (heeh) I'll start temping as soon as it's time and have a look at what my cycles are doing. I AM STILL WAITING FOR AF. Just the most bizarre thing. But, anyway, once it starts and ends, I'll start temping!
