Comments regarding DW's diet changes- I never did eat breakfast. Didn't eat before I was ready to pass out. Didn't eat breakfast with my boys either, but didn't go so long between meals. I have never been eating much, but it was probably healthier and maybe 2 to 4 meals a day. Maybe I did snack sometimes during the day with my boys.

Things that make me feel great about my sway: We had one attempt. I think my boys were 2 attempts. Attempt during vinter month. My boys were conceived during spring, summer and late summer.
Things that make me nervous about my sway: I probably only lost 2 pounds before attempt. I should have lost more. I thought is was ok with sugary snacks, if I stayed within limit. After BFP I did read a lot of successful sways who didn't eat sugar at all. I think I ruined my sway, even though I didn't eat as much chocolate before OV. I did eat white meat. Maybe I should have cut meat out totally like other successful sways. I didn't think I would get BFP first month of TTC due to stress. I did get BFP first month of TTC with my boys as well.
Things worth mentioning: We were both stressed out, so I didn't have time to plan my sway to much in details. I wasn't stressed with my boys, so hope it sways for me. I think we did the most important things. My skin was dry and sometimes I got some very big painful zits. I never had skin problems before. I have a feeling this is a boy again, since this wasn't a huge change for me. Thank you Atomic for your help and guidance. You are truly a amazing woman. Thank you.
Atomic, this may sound crazy but I’ve been reading about moon phases… I have a ‘red moon cycle’ currently which I didn’t used to have. Meaning my period is coinciding with the full moon. From...
