    My hubby is getting cross too, mainly cos he thinks I'm obsessing and have lost too much weight. I need to figure out how to maintain cos at the minute it's falling off me. He's also sick of being vegetarian. Is it really important that he stays veggie do you think?
    I have virtually no EWCM this month and am scared I'm too thin to ovulate Been stressing about it all night!
    Cmiller I think we will give it one more month on vitex and I'm going to need to up my kcal intake to see if that helps but still stay within diet limits. I'm guessing if I eat 1800 kcal I can go over 40g protein and have maybe 30 g fat? Cmiller how's your bmi? Could that be affecting you conceiving?

    Honeybee, if DH is grumpy being vegetarian have him stop.

    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

    He mostly doesn't mind but says he really fancies a burger! Attempt is tonight so I reckon he can have a burger this week! He's generally been great about everything but I think if I am more chilled about it, he's likely to stay supportive of swaying for longer.

    Ok I will drop supplements! Just take folic acid and fiber and stick w diet! Thanks ! Honeybee37 yes most likely! I have always been thin but have unintentionally lost 5 pounds while swaying! I'm usually 105-107 but have been hovering around 100 for most of my sway this past month or so I have been less strict w calories and am around 103 but my weight varies alot from 100-103

    Packaged soups? Flavoured rice cakes? Popcorn? FRUIT, both fresh and dried. Lowfat crackers and lowfat cheese. Nonfat frozen yogurt.

    Hubby DOES NOT need to do diet. Most of our husbands would not do it. Mine wouldn't.

    Cardinal rule of swaying "If Daddy ain't happy, ain't nobody happy."

    Ladies, PLEASE make sure you have the LE Diet totals CORRECT before making yourselves miserable. LE Diet is 40-50 g of protein MINIMUM. PCOS swayers go up to 50-60. Fat is 30-60 g. 30 is minimum, we used to use 25 as minimum but people stopped ovulating on that. I think you need more nutrients, honeybee.
