How many cheat days do u think is suitable in a week? 😫
IMHO only you can answer that. As I had a failed sway last time I feel strongly that I must stick to the LE guidelines ALL the time. Having said that though I don't seem to need to cheat at all as I am really careful to manage my foods. For example, DH and I are out in London tonight with friends who've booked a pizza place. So I'll either have a marguerita or one with a few veggies on and some wine, but no starter or dessert. Granted I'll have to guess on the pizza's nutrition but there are enough on MFP to make an educated guess. So in anticipation of my dinner taking up say 800cals 30g fat and 25g protein let's say, I'll just have a large salad with some French bread for lunch. So I'm able to "cheat" tonight if that's what you want to call it - I don't. I see it as good management!Quote:

Mumof6, you are awesome!!!
You are 100000% a hero.
My husband thought a lot when I told him I wish for a baby girl(a second child).
He loves our son more then anything but he had a spoiled life before and he really enjoying now that our DS of 3y is big enough to talk and play "in peace" :)))))
He told me he will never wake up during night if I want another baby :)))
So, I just need to accept that. Less sleep and more "fun" :)))
I really hope I'll have a girl....
Your baby girl will be sooo spoiled :-)
You decided to attempt this month and thats it until December?
Weezie, hy do you feel your sway failed last time? What were your mistakes?
We'll never know why we got blue really. I may have swayed my odds all the way to 99% and still got a boy! But yes, I think it's likely down to a few factors. I increased my calories in month three of LE as my weight loss was too fast and I was worried I'd not ovulate. Also, we wanted to conceive asap due to the weight loss so we DTD every day through the fertile window. The stats now show that that was probably not ideal. I also feel I ate too many wholesome cooked dinners full of nutrient. So I'm eating more processed food this time, making sure my weight loss is slow, DTD every four days so as to only get one in the window!
So you kept the LE for 3 months?
Atomic told me to do 1 attempt at the opk positive.
When will you DPD this time? Next month?
I started LE in the August and conceived end Nov. I did have a Domino's blowout at October's AF if I remember rightly. BMI got down to 18.5 so I upped the calories from 1500 to 1700 that month which stabilised my weight. I'm still BF so will TTC when my cycles return. Hopefully August. Thee reason we're going down the every four days route is that with no idea of when I'll next ovulate, I don't fancy beingg all "Martha" with temps and OPKs
Thanks MyByC. 💜
Yep, we attempted again this month but are then putting it off til December to avoid another birthday around our already busy months.
Wow, how my taste buds have hanged since doing LE.
Today I went to a kids bday party with DS5 and couldn't even stomach the thought of eating things I'd easily have before so I had a few vege spring rolls.
Then I went to a ladies house (a mum of a friend of DS1 who swayed to get her daughter after 3 boys and the only one who knows I'm swaying) and I went to have a mini quiche and the taste of the egg was horrible! So I didn't eat there either.
I then come home though and had curry with chicken and beef!! OMG!! 😉 I ate the beef ok, but didn't really enjoy the chicken, which I used to eat a heap of but didn't like beef before???!!??
