I love this thread! I started vegetarian this week until my sway in the fall. I won't start LE until June or July probably but I will definitely be stocking this for ideas!

Whoohoo! Looks like my diet/exercise is slooooowly finally working......the weight is starting to gradually come down on the scale. My weight tends to fluctuate but it seems to finally be trending downwards.
Note that the pineapple/pomegranate juice isn't girl sway at all but I'm having it to help my lining for my FET.
Today's plan:
Breakfast - 1/2 cup plain yogurt with strawberries and cinnamon, string cheese. Decaf coffee with non dairy whitener.
Exercise - 70 min step cardio
Lunch - Two slices toast with butter, green beans, soft boiled egg. Fresh pineapple & pomegranate juice. Cookies/candy for dessert.
mid afternoon - diet gingerale with Metamucil.
Dinner - leftover fried rice with veg and chicken and some melted cheese on top.
Dessert - rice pudding
Total aiming for approx 1400-1500 cals.Me (38) and DH (38)

Weirdly, all I can think of tonight is why we're bothering to sway, we should just find a way to find the money! But then I remember how many people don't conceive on HT and I feel deflated again. Saturday night is normally date night for us and I can't stop thinking about it all!

Realistically you really need to be thinking of funding up to 3 full ivf cycles. Especially past 30 the odds of being a OHW (one hit wonder) is unlikely. We set a lifetime hard limit of $50K but honestly, the emotional stress was sooo much tougher than the cost. If my FET fails I'm honestly not sure I have the emotional reserves to do it all again.
