water fasting.. is literally eating nothing and drinking water only, or green tea
No calories in at all.. it helps detox and gives your body time to rest so that it can repair itself
Alot of people who have gone on long fasts such as 10 , 21 or even 40 day fasts have confirmed it has helped in their pcos symptoms
It is really hard so I don't promote it to everyone, you have to be mentally strong and then after breaking the fast you need to try and not go back to your bad eating habits..
This has been the only way for me to lose weight.. and I have tried everything..
I almsot lose 2 kilos and gain one back but I still end up having lost..
I started at 67 kilos and have done 3 day fasts and am on the second one now and at 64 .. inshALLAH by tomorrow I will be 63 and Saturday 62.. By Sunday I guess I will be back to 63/64
Confucius good job but water fasting sounds very aggressive to me. I would say cut your carbs, lower your calories and increase your physical activity. It might take time this way but once you will lose weight, you wont gain it again quickly.
So new cycle, new hopes for me. Yesterday at 7 dpo i had a slight dip to 98.1 and today 8 dpo today, my BBT is sky high, to 99.1. Very unusual for me. Heres to new hoping :halo:
One question ladies, we focus on ovulation (use clearblue ovulation tester) and not on days before and after ovulation. Do you think trying during ovulation is enough or not?
ok ladies i usually get my pre-periods cramps abt 1 week before them.. but this time im having some poking type pain and a lil bit of periods cramps almost 15 days before my due AF.. thought it would be ovulation as i had lots of EWCM... but those pains continued uptill now ( im 9 days away frm my due date today) ,i mean without a single day break.. this has never been before so early.. one more thing i experience cramps before periods but this poking ans sharp pains are completely new.. what it could be? any ideas?:confused:
^ I know its hard but we should all try to avoid symptom spotting and speculating at every twinge. Our minds will play all sorts of games with us and with period symptoms n pregnancy symptoms so similar it can become an obsession.....which ultimately will stop us relaxing.
It might seem harsh mesaying this, but I hav experienced it............with the times I fell pregnant easily I was so relaxed, yes excited at the anticipation of potential pregnancy but not symptom spotting or reading up etc. So that's why my promise to myself now is not to symptom spot, google or read up............
Continue making dua and insha allah may we all be blessed with naik n healthy children to be the coolness of our eyes soon. Ameen
and yes wanna-be-a-mum ur rite,every month i get my periods i promise to myself for not giving too much attention to any of the symptoms… but cant keep my promise longer lol

you need to focus on the days immediately before ovulation. sperm needs at least 8 hours inside you to become viable and waiting for the egg (i can't remember the terminology for the process right now). if you have sex only on the day you ovulate, you're sort of minimising your chances because the egg might already have become unviable by the time the sperm is ready. you should aim to determine when you are ovulating each month with the help of the ovulation predictor, and then have intercourse 2 or 3 days in a row prior to ovulation but just once a day. having sex multiple times in one day isn't helpful either because it reduces the quality of the sperm. having it again on the day of ovulation would be good too. after ovulation, your chances aren't that great.
Thanks SGC!!! It makes sense now. Will follow this next time. :)

I would TOTALLY recommend this book to everyone who is ttc or preventing or whatever lol. Must read for every married woman. Taking Charge of your Fertility by Toni Weschler
Drama Queen, it will totally clear your confusions :)
I second the book 'Taking charge of your fertility'. It is filled with information.
I also want to share something that I believe worked for me, I was told to do this by a woman who had a child of her own after a decade of marriage. Whenever you enter the home say Assalamu alaikum, then recite Ayat ul kursi, and then recite durood ibraheem after that recite Surah Ikhlas (3 times) and make duaa for whatever you want. Then recite durood Ibraheem again.
For those of you wanting an authentic source for this, I am sorry I have none. I do however have experience doing this and by the Grace and Mercy of Allah we were blessed with whatever we asked for. Be it anything. Try it, may Allah bless all those who are trying with a safe pregnancy and a healthy happy complete child. Aameen.
Ok so i have decided to post here my problem as well,i was a bit confused whether to share it on a public forum,but after reading this thread i feel SO much better!,....i got married almost 2 years back and since then it has been a rollercoaster ride,actually the problem is not with me but with my husband,and this is where the problem gets complicated,i havn't told this to ANYONE ,only his parents know,i am just too shy to tell this to my family and i feel like this is HIS problem so i shouldn't tell this to anyone,....sometimes i feel so depressed n demotivated,ppl keep on asking me why don't you go and see a dr,and when are u going to have a baby etc etc as u all know what kind of remarks u usually get when u'r married n not conceiving,sick world,......btw he's seeing a doc and things are quite positive now Alhumdulillah:) and i have complete faith in Allah,HE will bestow us with HIS blessings when the time is right for us AMEEN.
I am praying for all of you who r trying to conceive,May Allah reward you with the best of Both worlds and have patience,because Allah loves those who r patient and always thankful to HIM,May Allah bless you with healthy n pious children AMEEN
There is also a sticky thread that talks about successfull fertility treatments. Check that out for hope and for possibilities that u can try similar treatments.
I totally believe that good things come to those who wait. Inshallah :) I know its hard to have the patience and of course we have our days of "why me?" and "it's not fair, we're good people", all we can do is turn to Allah SWT and get treated for our issues.
One of my family friends was trying for a while and went to see an RE. Turns out she had a thyroid issue and began taking medication for that. No sooner that she began to take her meds, she got pregnant, mashallah :) It could be something so simple that would make our dreams come true :)
hi, we're still trying, even after 7 years no luck. got the all clear from docs, both of us reproductively are fine..(ivf is not an option for us right now)..plus my hubbys weight creeping right up, its worrying becoz things are not the same in this department. we're both stressed out from family pressure. the only option for us left is DIY insemination ...not sure if its permissable in Islam though? anybody tried it with luck? reading lots of duas and trying, but its very hard. plz advise. thanx.
:halo:
for giving me hope…
