    How about buying the meal plan? That way you don't have to count, just follow along. If you can't do that, then focus on these crucial points:

    -eating smaller portions
    -eating as low fat as possible
    -replace butter with 100% vegetable margarine, ideally from canola oil (soy, sunflower, safflower are next best)
    -no red meat
    -no cereal or other highly fortified foods
    -no oats

    Just do the best you can in each area and remember every bit helps.

    I have always had a light and short AF but on the LE diet it became even lighter and shorter over time so that's a normal response. Your cycles getting shorter is not uncommon at your age but I'd try to get some Femara just in case it hrlps egg quality (theoretical) and to help your pink sway.

    My Ovulation Chart
    currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP

    TTC #1 - swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!

    Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
    Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after remověng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic

    Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
    My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
    Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

    Not likely, then. I don't have a regular dr. Just a walk-in clinic dr. who keeps bugging me to find someone else.

    Has s/he TRIED to get a real doctor these days? It's IMPOSSIBLE. My son needed a doctor for something relatively serious (cancer scare) and they told him he couldn't get in for a YEAR. No one was taking new patients. He ended up going to a "doc in the box" and seen in 30 minutes after 2 months of wrangling with insurance companies and every dr. office in a city of a half a million people. :/

    Seriously drs are over loaded especially in the US, so many drs won't take new patients. And I paid out of pocket, no insurance! Bc of my pain I can't make appointments, I can only do walk in drs. It's a pain, I have to drive aways. I can't imagine if I had 4 kids!

    It's only since the new healthcare took effect, we never had any problem before. :/ I so wish we would have gotten a family doctor before it all kicked in but we didn't know that the side effect would be that suddenly no doctors would take appointments.
