TTC girl- July 2012

[sosapop]

My AF started on 7/3, I have been monitoring by using my OV sticks, but just one line. My DH started FR Sunday, and I think I should have a positive OPK around CD 12 (which is 7/14), but may be wrong because doesn't Vitex have some effect?? I took it for the first time, so don't know what it will really do.
Kind of irritated with DH and don't feel like DTD anytime soon ;( Maybe tomorrow night we will start...
Should I start Rephresh today? I have not noticed really any CM yet. I have been dropping weight, but I did read on someone else's post that she is cold constantly at night and may have something to do with diet. I have been really cold at night too, takes me awhile to warm up - odd!

I had planned on the 10DPO cheat b/c you want to still keep environment favorable for implantation.

if you think about it though -- soooooo many women who are having girls or have had dd's, in fact all women except us eat whatever they want after conception and there was no problem with implantation.
Have a cheat!

TBH I think atomic just knows us boys mums! if she said you eat whaever you like after o we'd all put on a stone after o and then panic when af arrived and we wanted to try again and had just put on a whole heap of weight - i think you'll be fine xx

ps maybe just me ;-)

That is what I worry about too! I want to stick to the diet in case I don't get pg!! Which, it looks like for me is going to be the case. I have a massive head ache and temp dropped some today. UGHH!

[Wishing4Pink]

I too got a temp drop today at 12dpo, so looks my first attempt didn't work The thought of being on the diet another month really depresses me at the moment!

[fish2012]

me too it's only my second month trying! i'm lame!

AF showed today so on to month 2! I have put everything on my calendar so I know exactly when to do things and go into "auto-pilot" mode.

This time I am going to make sure I take Rephresh the day before my attempt - I haven't had any CM for a month as it is! I am also going to stop Zyrtec 2 days before our attempt and I am going to BD closer to O. We ended up with a 2 day cut off last time. I am also going to DTD missionary instead of on top. I hope it all works! Any other suggestions? Do you think doing it twice the day before O and once on O day is enough?

I am officially very unhappy with my diet and willpower, period.

After doing so good... the work week has been intense at work, I've felt weak and stressed, and there has been a lot of treats/cake half of this week and I've eaten it... three days in a row. I've tried to work my lunch/dinners around the guilty binges as best as I could within LE diet guidelines (although my own guidelines are lower because I won't and don't lose weight otherwise.)

I feel immense guilt. Cannot believe I can't just say no. Obviously my hormones are still so out of wack from swaying that even soy can't make my cycle normal, so there's that. My husband says to let it go and don't beat myself up over cakey binges this week, but can't help it. :/

To punish myself... I'm NOT eating dinner. It's 7pm and I'm already feeling hungry! However... I have been *snacking* today... on CAKE AND CHOCOLATE.

Today I've eaten coffee with soy milk (x 4!!!)... probably 7 pieces of bitesize chocolates, 5 tiny slices of cake (it was like a tiny loaf cake, so they were small... probably 2 inches width/height), 4 mini plain ring donuts! I SUCK!!!!! I AM SO SO SO BAD! For lunch, I had a side salad... with fat free vinagerette... 1 white pita. So it's a day of fat and sugar. My totals are probably around 1,450 - 1,550 (give or take)... 53g fat (give or take), 22g protein (gasp!)

I've been trying to keep my calorie intake around 1,200 because I don't really lose weight otherwise (I'm petite and already vegetarian...)

:/ And yesterday, and the day before... (cakecakecake... my job is EVIL! I wish people would stop trying to boost work colleague morale with all the treats... )

I suppose I could have been *snacking* on worse things... and for the most part I have stayed within LE guidelines, just not my own guidelines... but, ehg. Angry with myself.

Still negative OPK. Cervix is high... but it's hard to get any cm on my fingers. Must be the antihistimine. It feels soft and open, though...

And just my luck, I'll probably get a positive OPK tomorrow... and I won't be seeing my husband until Sunday night!

I'm debating on DTD tonight or tomorrow morning (or both?!) just in case that happens.

We've DTD twice so far. CD17 and last night (CD19)...

God, I'm so going to have another son... ALL because of the last three days! Watch!

Sorry you are having such a hard time with the diet. Don't beat yourself over it and finish the day with a cheat. AS says it isn't one meal or one day, but rather a trend with dieting.

I wonder if you have been eating too less calories and that is what is causing your really long cycles?
