No, you need to eat both carbs and protein at every meal and snack. It's fine to eat late in the evening as long as you're also eating regularly thruout the day. just don't go hours and hours with nothing in your stomach.

You don't need to gain a ton of weight, just 5 lbs or so can help. Gaining too much isn't a good thing either and can affect your fertility negatively, possibly even sway pink if you gain too much.

Thank you all....this site is brilliant and certainly consistent, it's just other sites/forums where you see contradictory messages - I'll stick the advice on here as its so comprehensive :)

Did you guys stop dtd after ovulation?

Thanks again x

After I saw my temp rise I stopped dtd. So yes after ovulation had already occurred I stopped.

Yes, my sex drive drops like a stone after I ovulate! I've NEVER DTD right after ovulation I don't think - it's usually a few days afterwards.
