Thanksgiving cheats

[Prayingforagirl67]

Feeling super crappy. I had 2 thanksgivings (I have a huge family) and tonight my MIL came to have her thanksgiving with us Italian style. 3 cheat days in a row and I feel like absolute CRAP. Safe to say I’m back on track tomorrow due to the fact that I feel SO sick right now. I’m definitely realizing how much my body has changed in these short months of swaying. Is it normal to feel like 3 days totally derailed my sway? Or am I just a total nut?

I know it may feel like your sway is ruined but it isn’t! 3 cheat days is nothing! Most of the time our chests aren’t as bad as we think. I always had 3 cheat days a month- usually 1-2 the first days of AF and another somewhere during the cycle. Just pick up right where you left off and don’t give it another thought!

Man I cheated so much. If eating all you want for 3 days swayed boy everyone would do it. You haven’t ruined it don’t worry.

This whole month of November has been pretty bad for me cheat wise. (6 in one month) I was saying in another thread I have such a big family and there’s always something going on where cheats are inevitable. This months been filled with birthdays, a wedding, and our thanksgivings. I’m hoping this month wasn’t enough to completely derail my sway. We are Ttc at the end of December so I’m gonna be good from here on out! I usually try to just cheat around my cycle, pretty much the way you explained but this month was just a total bust!

Thank you for your response. I’m definitely going to try to not dwell on it!:)

Just pick things up where you left off and don’t look back! There is always going to be something- life happens!

You’re doing great- you’ve got this!

it's fine! just let it go and don't worry about it!

[Prayingforagirl67]

That’s very true, I have to remember that it’s never going to be perfect, and even if it is, it’s not set in stone!

Thank you again:)

[Prayingforagirl67]

Definitely forgot all about it, I’m so close, and for once I feel really good about my sway, even though it’s not perfect!

Atomic, I started a new thread but for some reason I can’t open it, it just said page error, but this month I tracked my ovulation (I did in October too) for some reason I didn’t get a positive OPK does this mean I’m no longer ovulating or could it be another issue?

[Girlswaylondon]

Praying, could you have missed your surge? We’re you testing twice a day?

[Prayingforagirl67]

I only tracked once a day, I’m really hoping I just missed it, but I didn’t have any of my usual symptoms either, mostly cramping and increased appetite. Maybe this cycle I’ll test twice daily.

[Girlswaylondon]

When I know roughly before ovulation is expected I start testing twice a day just so I don’t miss it!

[Prayingforagirl67]

I sincerely hope that I just missed it then, the tests I have though are the ones that measure LH surge, so it has a test line and control line. The line that is supposed to show an LH surge never got darker in the slightest. Which is odd because normally it does get a little darker a day or so before. I’m just kind of confused on what could be happening! :/

It's because you put a lot of punctuation marks in the title. Something we haven't been able to track down yet is causing our threads to glitch sometimes when there are puncuation marks in the title. If you repost I'll be able to comment.

Most likely explanation is delayed ovulation not stopped O. That means you will still O at some point so be ready!

If you think you Oed you may have missed the surge but i'ts also poss that you have yet to ovulate yet

[Prayingforagirl67]

I’m thinking tonight is the night, I had a huge increase in appetite and gave in to it, so cheat night it is for a second time this week! I wish I had an extra OPK laying around so I could test. So will this most likely move my ovulation for December into January? My fertile window for December is supposed to be from the 25th to the 30th, should I expect it to be in January instead? Or could this just be an isolated incident?

[atomic sagebrush]

Well if you ovulate late, you'll get your period late, and then your whole cycle will be moved, I can't tell you when you'll ovulate but yes you should expect it later

[Prayingforagirl67]

Af is supposed to be here Wednesday so I will see if it’s late,bring that we are TTC this cycle, when would you recommend trying to start using OPK’s? I usually have a 29-30 day cycle.

[atomic sagebrush]

CD 8-10, I like you guys to start soon enough so you can see them go from totally negative to positive if you aren't used to them.

[Prayingforagirl67]

My cycle must be totally off, period is two days late, took a pregnancy test hoping that some how I was pregnant and got a BFN. I didn’t think it was likely, but was kind of hoping I’d get two lines! I’m going to be buying the clear blue ovulation tests, and I was wondering, I have a few questions regarding sex leading up to conceiving, should I start a new thread? Or could I ask them here?

[atomic sagebrush]

normally it wouldn't matter and we don't worry too much about who posts what where, but since the title of this is Thanksgiving Cheats and you have asked me, it might help anyone trying to search for threads on whatever you're about to ask me if you did start another thread! Thanks!

[Prayingforagirl67]

Thank you atomic, I will post in a new thread then!:)

Man I needed to reread this thread after Christmas Day and today! I’ve eaten so badly!

[Prayingforagirl67]

Oh you and me both!!! I’ve been a mess because I’ve had red meat three times this month, it’s hard to not be worried about our cheats, but at the end of the day, we are only human! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas!!

I did, atomic! Still feeling guilty about cheating but there was no way I couldn’t :p I’m in my LP so could have been worse timing!

Don't feel guilty, trust me when I say it is far worse for your sway to worry and obsess over what you're going to eat for a holiday for weeks in advance and then weeks afterwards too, than the effects of whatever it was you ate that day.
