Disadvantages of PCOS Diet?

[Sophie2019]

My BMI is now at 21.1. I’m normally about half a stone less than I am now though (I put on weight last year some of which I’ve now lost) so I definitely weighed less when I conceived both my boys and I’m about a stone from my lowest adult weight.

You dont' need to get to your lowest adult weight. Once you hit 21 just try to hold steady there, and that way if another pound or two sneaks off you will not be risking ovulation, and since you're almost there you should just hang where you're at.

Okay, thank you, I will.
I’m a bit confused though about when to have our attempt. Next month will be 12 weeks on the diet but my husband travels for work and is due to be away for 10 days right in the middle of my cycle. I’m very concerned that we could miss ovulation altogether and that the same thing could happen many months in a row. I know he’s home all this month though so that makes me think maybe we should try this month but it would only be 9 weeks on the diet (and 5 of those were on normal LE before switching to PCOS).

Do I hold off until 12 weeks and hope that I don’t ovulate in the middle of my cycle (although I do normally) and that if I do, maybe August might work better? Or do I go ahead this month at around 9 weeks? Looking back at previous posts, some of the advice says that anything over 6-8 weeks is fine and other times it says it really should be 12+ weeks, so I don’t know what to do for the best?

I would probably have you try this month. 8+ weeks was still acceptably good results for us. The reason for the disparity is that many people really want to err on the side of best results which is 12 weeks.
