    Weezie, thank you. I feel just the same. It just doesn't seem real. We were estranged bc she was psychotic but that almost makes it seem worse. The more time goes on (2mo now), I keep thinking of things I want to know but now can never ask her. I totally understand relaxing the diet especially since you were close.

    Since you have 3 boys and a failed sway I would be strict. Up yoursugar intake to increase cals. I guarantee if you drink enough soda/wine (with meals obviously) you will not lose weight! In fact I'd try very hard NOT to lose any weight at all, just eat poor quality/low nutrient food and especially keep fat low and stay veggie. I really want to see you get your girl!

    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

    Oh gosh I'm so sorry Weezie.

    I would honestly commence TTC straight away. I think it is good enough for government work and you may not even get pg the first month out, which will give it even longer. I really do not recommend waiting an additional 12 weeks, that is just plain overdoing it and not neccesary.

    YOur body "remembers" that times weren't that great and so even the prev. 6 months of diet may still be swaying for you some extent.

    Thinking of the "bottom" weight doesn't work though. IT's different every time and if your body "remembers" that it had stopped ovulation before, it may be "nervous" and actually stop ovulation sooner.

    Overall I was on the diet 8mths but I did two months of loose LE ( my DH had a burst appendix so we had a 2month break) I then went hard the following cycle especially in 2ww and got my girl! Of course you have to do what feels right for you but there really is no perfect sway. Best of luck my friend with your decision I am so sending my wee bit of pink dust to you XX

    Thanks Atomic. I really appreciate your input. We have Mum's memorial service today so I'll eat whatever is easiest, but tomorrow I'll get back to being strict. Hopefully at the end of this month I'll feel confident enough to DTD. I need to find my personalised plan you wrote me last year! I know Mum was as keen as I was for a baby gir, so I'm even more determined.

    Thank you everyone for your support. Today is going to be tough but I'm looking forward to it as I imagine loads of people are going to come to say goodbye to Mum. This Sunday is UK Mothers Day so to distract me from her absence we're going to take the boys to the nearby airport, watch the planes, ride the monorail and have some lunch. Should be fun :-)
