Thanks Farmgirl

I had a talk with hubby and decided to take a few months off ttc I might try again mid year. Will see
I want to focus on getting myself fit and healthy I feel so gross atm. Going for a nice lobg walk this morning and will start doing spin classes again this week. I will still be sticking around cheering everyone on!

So sorry Pinkin, I do not know how some of your ladies have managed to ttc for so long, I thought I was pregnant by accident last month and the 2ww was so horrible and the disappointment of not been pregnant really distressed me. It is completely understandable that you want a break, maybe you can just have sex for fun and see what happens? My friend tried for nearly a year to get pregnant and she was so strict about timing and diet, she gave up all of that and just thought it would not happen and two months later she was pregnant. I think anxiety plays a big part in why people who can have children physically don't get pregnant. Please stay around, I am attempting in March so I could do with lots of help and support!


Good luck to all the ladies attempting or waiting to test, fingers crossed for you, really hope it is your month.

Any big tips for the LE diet? I am new to it and I know March is not long enough to be on it but time is against me and I am not sure I could do the diet long term. Any LE do's and don't for a complete novice? x

Pinkin, I would strongly suggest trying one more cycle going E3D all cycle long for the reasons Pbn3 explained. BUT I also understand if you just need a break full stop, I've taken a couple myself bc of how long I've been swaying and TTC and I think I'd be much less well if I hadn't. Long term swayers/TTCers need breaks!

Girlie, if I could give you only 3 bits of advice about the LE diet, they are: go completely vegetarian or even vegan if willing/capable, limit overall fat intake greatly and eat mostly pink friendly fat/very little blue friendly fats, and NO snacking, stick to 2-3 or even 4 meals a day max. If there's any way you can do daily cardio for at least an hour I'd definitely add that to your sway.

Girlie I found myfitnesspal invaluable for nutrition tracking when starting le diet last year. In fact I've started using it again a few days ago as decided to go start le diet after about a 2-3 month break. Seeing as your ttc next month if you can go vegetarian I'd highly recommended it as it makes sticking to the 40-50g of protein a thousand times easier and you get more food. Personally I found it easiest to eat two meals a day lunch and dinner but do whatever works for you. Vegetables are an awesome filling food with little to no fats (think potato, sweet potato, pumpkin etc) - but dont forget to exclude green veggie protein from your protein intake (still can include in calorie and fat intake). If you find yourself crazily craving something then have it - either try to incorporate with that days totals or have a little less of that nutrition over the next couple days. La zuppa soups if you can get them are also great if your planning a higher fat dinner. I often have a soup with bread for lunch when planning a slack easy yummier dinner (oven food like pastries/chips lol). Ummm spring rolls (that you oven bake) are a good substitute for meat and often do a couple of them with roast veggies (use a tablespoon of oil for veggies and they come out great, include oil in your intake). That's all I can think of really at this point hth!!

Hi ladies, I am hoping to join you this month for ttc and fx bfp after my missed miscarriage and d&c. Dr. said it is ok to start trying right away but that nothing is going to happen until my hcg goes down. 2 weeks before my d&c my betas were 110,000 so it might take a while for it to go down since I am still getting positives on hpt. I go in this Thursday for Ob to check betas and see how they are decreasing. The only thing that bums me out was that I was on le diet for almost 2 full years before getting my bfp (only ttc 6 months of those 2 years, trying to get into the swing of it), and when I got my bfp I dropped le diet immediately because after almost 2 years I was ready to be back to normal. Now I have been off of it for almost 2 months and really don't know if I am going to go back. I really want my little girl but not sure I want to do all the sway things that decrease fertility because I want to have my last baby too. I don't know which is will be worse, having to ttc for a long time again or gd.

Hopefully I will get to ttc this month.

My hubby is working away all this week so makes everything look so much worse but we will have another try in march. I just need a month off clomid and the whole ttc thing I will be doing e3d in march

Hugs signing, I hope you O again soon. Maybe just go vegetarian and no snacking but otherwise not diet? Could be a good compromise.

That is one thing i really can't go is vegetarian, i have a few medical issues that prevent me to completely cut out meat due to a certain amount of protein needed.
