Overabundant October 2WW

[MeanVeggieGal]

I too am guilty of symptom spotting ladies...AF was right on track, but I did it anyways. 😊

It's CD2 for me. Temping hasn't cooperated these last couple of days. I had to pee (tmi?) close to my 5:30 am temp taking time, so I just forgot about it. Hoping to start tomorrow and see what happens the rest of this month. I did begin maca root this cycle because my temps seemed so low last month.

In times past it has helped me balance out my hormones (and emotions) pretty quickly and temps were high, then I became pregnant.

Any other maca users?

I had short lp issues as well, in July my lp was only 7 days. With atomic help and advice from lots of knowledgeable ladies on this site I made changes and got pregnant the next cycle. For me I had to introduce 4-6 eggs per week, daily diary and one portion of red meat per week. I also had to make sure I was at the upper end of the calories and fat and protein levels of the le diet. I think breast feeding and cardio plus very low calorie intake ( under the minimum for le) was too much for my body. I also did not realise that certain vegetables are free and not included in your totals so I was well under. I had to make lots of changes that were more blue friendly but I was not going to get pregnant any other way. As atomic would say not getting pregnant, you don't have any chance of desired gender. If I could do it over again, I would stick to the upper limits of the diet due to cardio and breast feeding, if I had done this my cycles may not have gone wacky and I would not have to repair the damage done by making more blue friendly choices. I actually found the short lp the most frustrating part of trying to conceive, I felt like I was doing everything but not even getting a chance to get pregnant. Good luck everyone, fingers and toes crossed for you all! X

Yes, I have been having eggs, meat & the full fat dairy & iron supplement for the past 2 cycles but that hasnt helped yet (no change at all yet). I am going to add in fish once a week & toast for breakfast in case the fasting between 6pm-11am is just too much for my body. Also adding in more fruit & veg. Hubby stopped the peppermint tea 2 months ago & he will stop OLE now too. No J&D, no lube. Im already a couch potato so I cant change that! We have also had a long winter here & very little sun - so I am making a conscious effort to get outside & improve my vitamin d levels. My cycles are very regular at 28-29 days its just the short luteal phase that is our biggest issue at the moment. Thanks for your story - very helpful!

Maca & Fertility

As infertility is becoming an increasing issue facing both women and men, it’s no wonder why so many people today are turning to natural alternatives for improving fertility. So far, research has only examined maca root’s impact on fertility in animals, with much of the research showing promising results. Studies support maca’s traditional use as a fertility enhancer, especially for females, noting its ability to increase serum luteinizing hormone in the pituitary gland. This hormone is associated with fertility, among other factors in the body.

Maca root has been used extensively as a hormone balancer, and research shows that its high nutrient density and phytochemical content may be the underlying contributors to this effect. Researchers evaluating the herb for weight loss observed that women taking a maca root supplement enjoyed a reduction in many of the most common menopause symptoms, such as hot flashes, sleep disruptions, night sweats, and depression. A similar study found women taking maca root enjoyed a significant relief from symptoms associated with menopause.

I know! I tried to take one but I really couldn't see it in the photo. If it gets darker I should be able to see it on the photo tomorrow. It's barely there.
