My first thread re lactating

[atomic sagebrush]

yes I purchased a custom sway plan. recommended I do the atomic fertility diet which is kind of hard itself the regular PCOS diet sounds so much easier but the afD diet is kind of hard to implement. Since 2003 when only an ultrasound was used to tell me I have PCOS no lab work I have tried low carb gluten free every supplement under the sun that soulCysters says is good for PCOS to help regulate induce conceive cycle etc and nothing ever work for me the two times that I have had two children I must have just spontaneously Ovulated. my first son was a result of spontaneously ovulating on cycle day 47 and my other one was a result of spontaneously ovulating on cycle day 26 this is all in hindsight I had no idea was ovulating I don't prevent so you know that's how things go

You can absolutely do the PCOS diet instead if you want to.

I also think that in this case a small measured weight gain will only help. get back up to 125 and see waht happens! I know it's hard to believe but even very small weight fluctuations can matter.

Skeered to be 125 since that weight made xy pairs

If I tried the 2 wks vitex, I would just have to pick a time.....if anyone else has pcos I'm sure they can empathize with the following (all most likely no ovulation because fertility friend shows lots of dtd all "month" long)

1/23/14 in hindsight ovulated cd26 result current LO

11/1/13 83 day cycle, 21 days before Af I added 1tsp flaxoil daily, per a weight loss diet I was following

9/6/13 56days
7/20/13 48 days
5/31/13 50 days
4/24/13 37 days
3/3/13 50 days
2/5/13 26 days
1/6/13 30 days
11/19/12 58 days
9/28/12 52 days
8/5/12 54 days
5/29/12 38 days
4/18/12 41 days


I don't temp, wake temps too low
It seems fertility friend doesn't even keep track of how many days if no info put in during a cycle hahaha

Your body doesn't have a way to keep track of that though. I just tell people to get to their lowest conception weight to give a tangible goal to aim for and not because the weight itself is really that important.

How about we split the difference and make it 123.

So the cycle that you conceived your last little man, you ovulated around about the middle of February then?? So let's start vitex on June 1st and take till June 14, then take the rest of the month off. Do the same in July, Aug, etc (start on the 1st, stop on the 14th) unless you get AF at which point just do the regular pattern with the vitex where you start on CD 1 and take for 14 days or until pos OPK, whichever comes first.

kinda complicated so pls let me know if unclear

[Dreamingofpinkafter2blue]

Atomic - sorry to butt in. But I think since I'm in the same boat (nursing and no AF), could I start taking vitex for two weeks each month too?

[atomic sagebrush]

You can but was there not a reason why I didn't have you do that??? You are a custom plan girl, right?? (sorry I have literally dozens of Dream/dreaming/dreamers and just want to be sure I am getting the right person's advice to the right person.)

[Dreamingofpinkafter2blue]

Yep! You did recommend vitex

[Butterfly Spirit]

Yep! You did recommend vitex

My golden ticket to my DD!! Get a pack of 100 babi blue cross strips off ebay seller should be opps something.. and yeah you want to take a few a day to track O if it comes. So take it from cycle day 1 to almost + opk! Then stop vitex until you start bleeding again. I nursed with Vitex too.

[Dreamingofpinkafter2blue]

But what if we (OP and I don't ovulate)? Just take two weeks?
