Salt cravings around Ovulation?!

Hello,

I'm on a CD 12 and awaiting my +OPK any day. But what drives me mad is absolutely uncontrollable salt cravings. I just can't stop myself, feels like I'm possessed! It happens every month. Around O I crave salt and when AF due I need my sweets.

I've been good in a LE diet and lost 6 uk pounds,it's my would be my lowest conception weight(if I'm to get pregnant this month)
But in the last few days I have had a few packets of crisps and had roast potatoes and spaghetti bolognese and a beer(every night for a 4 days) . I hate myself but at the same time I can't stop myself.

Will it ruin my chances of conceiving a girl? I guess it probably will. I feel helpless and I feel like I've got a ZERO willpower.

Sorry for the rant.

Salt is far and away the best cheat there is. In fact, if you're really craving it that strongly, it may be that your body is in need of it and you should allow yourself a bit of indulgence, guilt free.

I personally don't think normal dietary salt sways and very high sodium intake may even sway pink. You will NOT ruin your sway by eating salt for 4 days around O.

Thank you so much for your response Atomic!
I felt so depressed about my cheat but now it looks like there is a light at the end of a tunnel :)

It's just feels like everything is going wrong for my sway this month.
I've been quite stressed,we are building an extension to our house and trying to juggle planning,builders and finances.
My cat has died so that was upsetting,I know she was quite old but it's still hard to say goodbye.
And to top that all up, my OPK is real mess. I never get a +OPK,IC are usually gong from slight pink line to nothing from CD 12-13. I bought CB digi this month,testing from CD 9 and still nothing.
Ended up BD on CD 7,9,12,13 J&D each time.
I don't know whether is continue BD on CD 14,15 or just leave it at that and try again next month.
I usually get clear shift in CM from EWCM to Creamy and that been happening on CD 15-16 and then my AF 14 days after,like the clock work.
Anyway, sorry for rambling. And thank you for reassuring me about the salt situation.

I'm so sorry to hear about your cat. xo

Hang in there, and if it doesn't work out for this month then next month is a whole new ball game.
