Ok I will make the switch back :-) I was eating it for several months but being misdiagnosed with PCOS I changed it completely,but now that I don't in fact have it,I think I need to change my diet again lol.Yeah,a massive change.I used to have protein shakes,lots of high protein,lots of salt.I loved burgers and pizza and ate lots of quinoa,brown rice and pasta dishes.I will keep the full fat dairy then to keep my limits.I have being having things like flaxseeds on my yoghurt and cinnamon,saw palmetto and vitex,two weeks on and off.Running everyday and a little weights.I was sitting on 30g protein and fat but have been eating between 30-40g protein most days.

Oh congratulations!! :-) And thank you! I'm really worried as I seem to be dropping it quite quickly.I think I need to revert to more foods with empty calories.

Not sure where to put this post but does the second look like a positive ovulation test? I can never tell as they say it needs to be as dark as the line,but a few hours after I tested its not as dark.image.jpg

Thank you for your reply! :-) should I revert to low fat dairy again or if I'm within my limits its ok? I eat a lot of rice but brown and wholemeal pasta.I might make the swop back.Most days I eat lots of fruit and vegetables and just eat a tiny bit of protein.I have 9 weeks until we BD.I'm also sitting at 18.5 with my BMI and didn't want to lose to much weight.

Sorry I missed this, I don't usually read the support threads so if you have a question like this please start a thread in the forums.

If you're on the PCOS diet you should have ONLY full fat, not low fat dairy. Low fat dairy is really bad for blood sugar and may actually aggravate polycystic ovaries.

You also need to be eating 50-60 g protein. This is VERY important. EAT PROTEIN. All swayers need 40-50 g protein, this is the minimum for health and pregnancy. PCOS swayers need 50-60 g protein and 50-60 g fat because that is best for your sway and your health.

DO NOT lose any more weight if you're already at 18.5. Add in cals of carbs, they don't need to be empty carbs, they can be fruit, grains, etc.

I also want you at 50-60 g protein and 50-60 g fat. If you are not eating those levels you may aggravate any tendencies you have towards having PCO. All people on the alternate diets need to be on full fat dairy only and NOT skim or part skim dairy because those can mess with blood sugar really badly and aggravate ovarian cysts.

None of these are positive. Line needs to be as dark or darker than control line. A faint line is negative. your body is always making the hormone the strips detect (and even your husband would get faint lines like that if he peed on the strips) it's only when it reaches a certain concentration that the stips will go positive and you'll ovulate.

Do u think the darker line indicated that I was a few days away from ovulating? It's weird that it went darker and then faded the next day.I will check again this month :-)

Atomic, thank you for confirming :-) I have been doing it for a week or so and feeling so full and not even hungry I between meals.Should I still eat even if I'm not hungry.I'm averaging 1500 cals and trying to increase protein and fat

Not necessarily, that happens all the time. All that those sticks indicate is how much hormone your body is shedding in its urine. (believe it or not, your husband could pee on the sticks and get those same types of lines - lighter, darker, nothing, something) It is only when the hormone reaches a certain concentration in blood, that your ovulation will be triggered. This USUALLY comes out in the urine, but may not end up registering properly if your urine is diluted or if you just happen to test at a point in time where most of the hormone has already come out, or hasn't come out yet.

Yes, you need to eat even if not hungry to get up to the 1500-1800 cal range, 40-50 g protein, and 30-60 g fat. This is in order for your body to continue ovulating and get and stay pregnant.
