    Edited; Phew was worried there.

    I have coffee as a filler in the morning and only one cup a day, im not a big coffee drinker either. I've switched from decaf to add caffeine into my diet because i don't drink fizzy sodas
    I'm the same, I just don't like fizzy sweet drinks, but I'm willing to do anything that might help.
    Nice to see another person from the Uk

    I'm pretty much down to two meals a day. Some days are better than others in terms of snacking but I'm definitely better than I was. Good to know that the wine can count as a third "meal". I really need to get in the habit of doing MFP. I'll be good for a couple of days and then I forget to do it for a few days. I feel like I'm much pinker than I was when I conceived my boys so I guess that's a start.
    Faithinpink - I think you're right. Without the coffee, I would probably be much more likely to cheat and eat breakfast in the morning.

    Coconut water is fine for pink but it needs to be with meals bc it has a significant number of calories. Diet soda/crystsl light with effectively no cals is fine between meals.

    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

    Coffee in the morning and between meals is fine, most of us do exactly that in the morning. Technically if you want to follow the rules to the letter you would not have any sugar in this, only unsweetened or artificially sweetened. IDK if your creamer has many cals or carbs or sugar so I can't tell you specificaly if it's ok or not, but I will tell you this was one of my chosen cheats, I always ahd real sugar in morning coffee and got a girl doing that.

    Wine is also supposed to be with a meal but again, many people break this rule, myself included

    Both 2 and 3 meals are perfectly acceptible on LE Diet. Each individual should do what works for THEM and not worrya bout what others are doing on that. Either 2, or 3 meals (even if one is alcohol LOL) totally fine

    Also does anyone know if we are allowed to drink diet soda,crystal light, coconut water throughout the day or is that considered snacking? I never drink and eat at the same time so is 20 minutes after a meal ok to have wine?
    Anything unsweetened or artificially sweetened is ok between meals, anything with more than like 5 cals should be with a meal

    Coconut water does have cals so should be wiht meal.

    If you can't eat and drink together 20 min. after is still fine

    I think I may have very low potassium levels actually, last night I couldn't sleep cause I felt like I had restless leg syndrome (reminded me of being pregnant!), I think I'll get some coconut water today

    Please keep in mind ladies, we have had good results with coffee but do NOT KNOW if it is caffeine or some other component of the coffee. I don't want you guys to try to get caffeine per se, I want you to drink COFFEE.

    It could also be a magnesium deficiency. When I first started swaying I stopped taking my daily magnesium supplement and eventually became deficient (confirmed by blood tests). DH also always took a daily magnesium and within a week or two of stopping started having leg cramps in the middle of the night. I started him back on magnesium (3 times a week) and no more leg cramps. My kids have also had eye tics and night terrors that go away with magnesium. It's the stress relieving, calming supplement and also helps with sleep issues.
