GL Lassie. It is impossible not to question what we do to sway, but it sounds like you are doing a great job.

How are you gals tracking your sodium / calcium / lvls?

I'm using calorie King which is helpful for the calories and sodium and calcium, but wondering if there is something better?

I was using an app called myfitness pal. Really simple to use, let's you scan barcodes (even Aussie ones!)
Tried a couple and this was by far the easiest one! And it tallies everything, inc sodium.
Really easy to enter quantities as well, ie 1/4 apple.
I stopped using it for 2 reasons, mainly because I was stressing to much about hitting all the minimums. And secondly it wasn't quiet as accurate as I wanted it to be, my primary concern was getting the minimum amount of potassium so I wasn't in the danger zone, I was sitting on zero one day so I had half a portion of small fries, and my potassium intake hadn't changed at all - which is obviously incorrect.
I decided then that I was stressing and obsessing too much over it and the stress would kill my sway!
Other then that I found it spot on for everything else I could measure (ie, it increased my potassium intake when I entered that I ate grapes)

Sorry I haven't gotten back to a few of these questions -

Peony - we were on the diet and supps for 3 months prior to our first attempt. Our first attempt wasn't successful, but our second was! Very lucky given it took me 12 months and another 2 MC before getting DS2!

I got the Wild Yams from my local health shop - Nature's Sunshine is the brand and it has a small amount (50mg) of Vitex in them too.

And I second the MyFitnessPal app! Helps enormously!

Thanks Sassy for the wild yam info.

Not diet related, but does anyone know a reliable Australian source for pregnancy tests, cheap? At the rate that I am going through test I need a cheaper (but still reliable) alternative to chemist brought tests, especially if it takes a number of months to conceive.
(I'm not even going to try and curb the pee on a stick addiction, I would fail miserably, and besides, it's my little bit of fun)
