    Fiber

    Is fiber super important? I keep forgetting about it and have not taken it at all.

    Because it 'sweeps' some of the excess fats and nutrients from your system.

    Right now I'm taking Metamucil not for sway reasons, but because the bcp and Lupron for HT has me so stopped up I need it to stay regular!

    SAHM military momma to DS1 (2004), DS2 (who's all boy but loves to dance, though not in a tutu!) (2006), DS3 (2009), and our rainbow baby girl DD1 (2017)

    early m/c Jan 2013

    Cycle #1 @ HRC (Oct 2014) - 6 retrieved, 4 mature, 3 fertilized and biopsied. 1XX and 1XY abnormal. 1XX no DNA found, rebiopsied and found normal, frozen.
    FET attempt #1 (Nov 2014) - cancelled due to functional cyst. FET attempt #2 (Jan 30, 2015) - NT. Remaining embie failed to thaw.

    May 2015 - started infertility treatments at OFC. Femara 2.5mg
    July 2015 - BFP after second round of Femara. Aug 4 2015 - 6w4d
    Dec 21 2015 - mmc 7w1d

    Apr 2016 - IVF Cycle #2. Converted to IUI because of uneven response and leading follicles.
    Apr 19, 2016 - IUI with 3 mature follicles (2 right, 1 left), post wash: 17mil, 94% motility and 89% rapid motility. BFN.

    June 3, 2016 - 5mg Femara cycle. 5w.
    Sep 1, 2016 - 5mg Femara cycle. 8w.

    Our rainbow baby girl arrived on Mon Aug 28, 2017 - "After every storm comes a rainbow". We are so thankful and grateful for every moment.

    Oh I really really doubt it absorbs THAT much fat, it's one of those 'extra' LE benefits. It's important to be careful not to drop the fats too much as it can reduce fertility anyways.

    The fiber helps on the LE diet since the 'crash and burn' LE diet is so full of simple carbs and it's pretty easy to get stopped up anyways eating so many empty white starches.

    You don't 'need' the fiber supp though if you don't want to use it.

    It seems to be getting good results; I take it after my fattier/more nutritious meals, usually just once a day, sometimes twice. I use ground psyllium husks, 3-4 teaspoons mixed with water.

    My Ovulation Chart
    currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP

    TTC #1 - swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!

    Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
    Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after remověng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic

    Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
    My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
    Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

    Fiber was one of those things that was a statistical surprise, I had added it because it seemed like on paper it might help (absorbing fats and fat soluble nutrients from diet) and then it DID help sway pink in a big way!

    The problem for you DJ is that you seem to need the fat and nutrients becuase your LP has been short, so I'd start off with a low dose if you want to add it.

    Everyone should be eating the amount of fat that is in the LE Diet. DO NOT drop below 25 g of fat EVER and you can have up to 60. The guideline is 20-30% of your day's calories from fat, and this averages between 25-60 g fat. If you're having trouble with short LP, you would cut back on fiber and eat more like 60% fat.

    The fiber advice is for people who are following the LE Diet as it is written.
