I’ve been getting ready for this sway for over 2 years now, and keep putting it off for various reasons, but mostly because I can’t lose weight. I’m ready to just go for it. Any reassurance or last minute suggestions for me? 😅
The things that I have been successful at for my sway are skipping breakfast, adding coffee and alcohol (not so hard to do lol) giving up red meat (I’m not sure if this is really a sway tactic, but I could take it or leave it and thought it would be better for less fat). I’ve been dairy free due to my autoimmune stuff for a long time. I also switched to diet soda.
Even with all of these things, I have struggled to lose weight. I don’t want to put off my sway any longer due to my age and also because the more I try to sway the worse it is for me mentally. I haven’t gained weight, but I’ve stayed steady at a BMI of 23 since having my son in March 2019. I had my gallbladder out Oct. 2020, and my doctor said most people will put on 40lbs within a year of that surgery, so I’m thankful I’ve avoided that and take it as a slight success.
We also plan to do one attempt. We’ve been doing q4 days, and I’m pretty sure I ovulate this weekend, so we will stick with this pattern for now. I loosely track my cycles, but haven’t done OPKs because I tend to get obsessed and didn’t want to overthink anything more than I already do. We technically attempted last month (was kind of spur of the moment) and I got a BFN. However my cycle was 31 days instead of the usual 34, so I may have been off on things. The plan is to officially start trying this month, and I just wanted some thoughts on my sorta-sway and any last minute suggestions would be great as well!
