It is officially over. Temps dropped more this morning and AF arrived. I'm not really upset, as I've analyzed my chart and I strongly believe that my body was really thinking about being pregnant this month. For some reason it decided no, but if I wasn't paying attention to my cycle as I am, I never would've noticed as I had a 28-day cycle. If I wasn't charting, I wouldn't have known that I ovulated on Day 11 and was technically late. It reiterates for me that I am on the right path with the changes I've been making, and I think this will eventually work for me. If not, I'll be really healthy!!! I was also thinking of stopping taking my temps, but this shows me that this is still valuable information for me, so I will continue doing that as well.
On the changes that I've been making, I still splurge every now and then with a little coffee and cream or a small amount of pasta or bread, but they are splurges and not the regular staples of my diet that I used to have. My regular breakfast is not a bagel, cream cheese, and coffee, but oatmeal, dried cranberries, walnuts and a mug of green tea. I am considering doing a fasting tea cleanse, but with my hypoglycemia I don't think it's a great idea. I will continue with organic fruits and veggies.
Here's to next month!!!

My period messed with my head last cycle as well. For the first time in over a year, my lp was 14 days (resulting in a picture perfect 28 day cycle). Two days longer than it normally is...I was hopeful, too, despite all the early HPTs.
At some point, I also tried to cut out as much wheat and cheese as possible (did you, by any chance, read Dian Shepperson Mills' Book for your nutrition advice?). I wasn't quite strong enough :) The cheese is really difficult (pasta, too, though for a long time I successfully used quinoa noodles).
Will be hoping for this new cycle.
