I think the key is not to binge on sugary or empty calorie things as this will send your blood sugar on a roller coaster swaying pink temporarily. But a piece of cake or the odd chcolate biscuit would be no harm especially on the TW approach.

ITA! I eat a piece of chocolate few days ago and I wasn't feeling guilty for a second! I like this 'no fault swaying' so much better since I'm not stressing over every bite I take.
Thank you ELP and TTC 5 for crossed fingers!

Hi to all!

Chunksta I hope you get that BFP!!

ELP and 3PNB, FX you see those +OPK soon! Jen that is just nuts about the EWCM... did you change anything this cycle? I am guessing no, since it sounds like the last few cycles what you were doing was working well. Maybe your O is just delayed and you'll get some when it comes... Have you ever used the fertile CM? I'm currently using EPO but might try fertile CM.

Thanks Me too!!! 4 DPO atm

In regards to the sweets!!! i cheat not often but i think one or two when we are out at a special occasion wont hurt!

Is anyone else in the 2WW??

[Chunksta]

Bet your just itching to test!!!

no not really i dont want to get a false negative
i will test 27th of this month but we are going away camping for 5 days over Easter!
Do you think its ok to have a few drinks??

3PNB good luck on getting more cm!!

[TTC5]

Thanks for the reassurance ladies!!!

Have fun camping Chunksta!!!! not sure about the drinking I guess it is all personal preferance? =)

I had a bit of brownie (smallest bite ever) and surprisingly it didn't send me on a big binge craving!

I've been noticing this aswell, usualy if I have a biscuit I have the packet or a slice of cake is half a cake but I am just happy lately with a taste of something and then don't actually want anymore to the point ofturning my head away, long may it last

Thanks for the well wishes Begonia I read you post over on the other new swaying site about the cut off timing thing and I'll leave my reply over here if thats ok (I'm still eightlilpigs overthere) For my last 3 pregnancies, all girls, I have bd'ed the evening or morning after +opk, plus poor diet, it could well have been just down to the diet. Recently I've paid a little more attention to my body around ov and noticed that by the evening of +opk my cm is already creamy and cervix is already back to hard! So for me, the day of +opk is girl territory. When trying to conceive in the past I just used to go with the bd on day 14 of cycle, which I now know that with a 31 day cycle was a 4/5 day cut off. Out of my 1st 5, 3 were boys and the 2 girls were the ov after m/c and the 1st month of bcp, so I wonder did this strongly influence the girls for me???

This time I am definately avoiding +opk day, even preferring to take a long shot at 5/6 day cut off, but!, I would be delighted with a night bd before +opk if I can get it right

Sorry if this is long or makes no sense lol

Hey girl just want to wish BFP for everyone who TTC now.
I already put on 2 lbs so now I have to loose it because I only ttc in Oct. and I don't want to put on more then 5lbs top!
Maybe it muscle? (wold be great) I workout 5-6 days/ week now.

Hi everyone, had a lazy weekend and just back in the swing. I wouldn't freak about cheating on the diet on special occasions....you know, if you cheat daily then it is a part of your diet, but every now and then won't hurt. FX for everyone in the 2ww!!!! By the way, I myself noticed that I had less ewcm since swaying, even with the EPO and all the supps, so who knows. I just used Preseed, so hopefully that made up for it!

[begonia]

Hi ladies!

ELP thanks for the reply on that, I had forgotten all about it, LOL! What I think is interesting though is that I wonder the same re: my 2 girls and my BCP's. One I got pg while taking BCP's, and the other I got pg the 1st cycle off of them. So I am happy that this time TTC I will have ZERO potential horomonal effect from them since I haven't taken any in years!

So fun to have some gals in the 2WW and some gearing up to attempt! Jen, glad to hear you aren't stressing that elusive +OPK. It will come and hopefully it will be super strong!

ZB, FX that DTD Friday night did the trick for you!

With re: to cheats I definitely have some. I drink probably 2x a week, I eat a sweet probably 2x a week as well. Since I'm still so many months out I'm not concerned; I do think when I'm 60 days out I will likely tighten up my diet.

I kind of wish DH and I had TTC last fall. I cared less then. Lately I've had more friends have boys and all it does is make me want one all the more. DH doesn't want to find out gender this time but heck, if I could have a psychic ultrasound that would tell me what this yet-to-be conceived baby will be, I'd pay $1000 for it, LOL! And even if my imaginary psychic ultrasound showed it was girl I'd still go through with TTC b/c I want 3 kids, but at least then I'd know not to get my hopes up! I know I'm going to end up totally obsessed with the nub since I will honor his request to be surprised. I'm going to have to try really, really hard not to go get a private u/s and just not tell him!

Zivic, I forgot to comment on your DH rant! I know how annoying that is.....my DH, bless him, is 38, which is by no means old, but I think he is one of those guys whose sex drive is naturally pretty low. I mean, when we first were dating and had sex, it was higher, but that is the fun stage, right! But, he NEVER initiates it, and when he does, it's because I've been making snide comments about it and he's trying to make up for his lack of interest. I fear sometimes it's because I've gained weight on this boy diet, and as you all know, he is a ballet dancer, so his job consists of manhandling skinny ass ballerinas all day. So, of course, I'm a hefer compared to them normally, at my normal size 4-6!!! He assures me that it's not that and I'm beautiful, blah blah, and that he just has a way lower sex drive than me. Oh well. There's my low sex drive rant. And I know how it is to have to ttc on command with opks to make a baby with this kind of guy!!!! But BIG FX that you caught your egg with perfect timing on Friday!!!!! Oh, and FWIW, I had my DH take 75mg of DHEA and it did nothing for his sex drive...although he said he had more energy, etc.
