    Yup sweets are fine. Way more important to be at least mostly veggie and avoid red meat. A few bites of pork/chicken/non-fatty fish once a week is fine, but it's not something I'd recommend you eat full servings of often.

    My Ovulation Chart
    currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP

    TTC #1 - swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!

    Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
    Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after remověng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic

    Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
    My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
    Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

    Wow, I did not know that! Their is so much to learn for me, I will try my best to cut out meat, that is hard , just because I always have to have it in my house for my kids etc. I will try, I will do anything I can go have another DD, in not in no rush either, would like to concieve a girl soon though but I guess now the wait will be worth it by doing the diet,

    Clarification - as long as you don't have PCOS, insulin resistance, or really really diminished egg quality, you can have sweets provided you stay within limits.

    Swayers who DO have PCOS or even possibly PCO tendencies, insulin resistance (and even undiagnosed such as if you're more than 30 lbs overweight) or have abysmal egg quality are better off losing sweets and I have some alternate diets in this thread that can help http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...rt-3-pcos.html

    What I did was just cook normal meals and then everyone had meat and I just stuck with the side dishes. (usually rice and veg or salad)

    Going completely veg is best, if you can't manage that, I would stick with chicken, shellfish, and whitefleshed fish.

    Chocolate is fine, milk and white choc are better than dark.

    Yes, saccharin is carcinogenic. I'm not a fan of aspartame aka Equal, either, but it's not as toxic IMO. Personally I avoid both, I only use Stevia or Splenda.
