Where are you at in your sway??

We'll be starting in about april/may- i am 3 weeks into the LE diet. I'm a bit nervous to start though because it took us 2 1/2 yrs to conceive last time, which was brutal

I am thinking it will take us a while to conceive. DH seems to think it's going to happen instantaneously, I'm really worried he's going to be upset when it doesn't happen on the 1st attempt. How on earth can I prepare him for it? DS1 & DS3 were both surprises. DS2, hubby didn't know that I was trying (lol!) but we got pg the 1st attempt. With DS4, I only told him we were trying after 2 attempts didn't work but then we got pg the next cycle. So, he thought we got pg right away. I kind of regret keeping him in the loop this time. I didn't think he'd get so excited.

I don't think there is anyway to prepare really except cautioning him when he gets really excited. I sound like such a debbie downer lol but i also thought we would get pg straight away as when we ttc#2 i got pg 1st month (had a mmc), got pg again 1 month later (had another mmc), got pg again a couple of cycles later (chemical) and then 4 months later got pg with ds2, so i could get pg very very easy just couldn't keep them. Ttc#3 was a bit of a shock. I had 2 chemicals in those 2 1/2 yrs. First one was 12 months into ttc and 2nd was 2 cycles before i got pg with ds3.

Are you taking Folate instead of Folic Acid? You might have the MTHFR mutation like I do. I've researched it and just discussed it with my doctor today and I'm supposed to take 4mg of Folate plus baby aspirin while ttc and throughout my pregnancy. The MTHFR genetic mutation can increase risk of miscarriage because it causes your blood to clot really easily which can cause the pregnancy to end. It is easy to treat though. I'm just wondering if that's why you had so many miscarriages. I've also had a lot of them and am hoping the Folate and aspirin will help prevent them in the future. That's a whole other thing that I am going to have to remind DH about. FX we all get sticky little beans!!

I have aps (antiphospholipid syndrome), very dangerous during pregnancy. I am already on low dose aspirin for it. It appeared secondary to my SLE (lupus). I have a hat trick of health issues lol.. SLE, APS and PCOS. The doctors look at me like i have 2 heads lol. My pregnancy with ds3 ( i was only diagnosed 2 months before conceiving) i was watched very carefully and took aspiring throughout the pregnancy and had to deliver at 38 weeks as the risk of stillbirth goes up dramatically with SLE after the 38th week. Add that to the fact i was trying for a vbac (failed) along with my other health issues, the doctors where quietly freaking out while i laboured and then had another c section lol. They broke my waters since i can't have syntocin to induce contractions because of previous c section. I think they were glad to see the back end of me when i was discharged!

I am supposedly 2 days away from ovulation!! YAY!!

[HealthyGirl]

Been on the LE diet 5 weeks (vegetarian. About 1300 calories daily. Lost about 5 lbs)
Doing fiber, folate and DH is doing LR and OLE ( liquid form)
My clomid will get here in a couple of weeks but I will get a positive OPK in 2-3 days.

I'm tempted to do one attempt and kinda hoping it fails at the end so that I can get my mind occupied until next month and honestly to test if one attempt with a large cut off ( 4 days work).
