How long do you really have to sway for?
I'm doing my best but I also have things on that I need to eat breakfast for etc like sport where I need the fuel (season over soon though) and I drank on the weekend and was hungover (was awful haha) so ate lots the next few days while I recovered (can't party like I used to) anyway, I feel like my sway went out the window. I'm back into it now, but I was hoping to TTC in October.... worried now this isn't long enough on the sway though!!! How long do you really need to fully sway to be most
Successful? That's probably a question with no real definitive answer but if anyone can tell me a kind of timeline guideline I'll feel better doing that before actually TTC. I read 12 weeks but if you do it before 12 weeks does the % go down drastically? Hope this all makes sense!!
Many thanks!!

I Agree, cheat days won't hurt just pick yourself up and keep going as best you can you are making overall changes to your lifestyle and that's what counts xx
12 weeks is best but I've seen successful sways with less than that and unsuccessful sways with more than that so you never can tell which way the cards will fall!Proud Mum to two gorgeous boys

Cheats are totally allowed! 12+ weeks on diet gets best results but really there's no telling for sure. I was on it for a year and still got another boy! The success rates for pink are around 65-70% so you could do a "perfect" sway and get an opposite or do nothing at all and get a girl. It sometimes comes down to luck.

I had days of exactly what you describe when getting my DD -- occasional days of heavy drinking/more food from hangover munchies. Being on the LE lifestyle as long as I had trumped these moments.

6-8 weeks is still acceptably good to me and I often have people start off at 6/8/10 weeks.
Please don't worry about the few days of eating a bit more. That doesn't count against you and the occasional cheat (even if it lasts a few days) is not a dealbreaker. you're still on target for October even without the 6-8 week idea.
We have had many people who needed breakfast for exercise or work obligations or because they were on medication or whatever. They still got girls. It is just one teensy thing that's great if it works out but is by no means a dealbreaker, not at all!!!! Questions?? Check out the NEW and improved Complete Index !!!

THISx a million. Girl moms still eat on holidays or when they're out at a restaurant or are feeling ill or getting their periods or whatever. My mom used to eat whole bowls of peanut butter with maple syrup mixed into them sometimes as a snack (and I'd never recommend this for a pink swayer LOL) and she still got mostly girls doing that.
It's the 80/20 rule. YOu get 80% of results with 20% of the effort (and this means that YES it's supposed to be VERY easy to stick to LE Diet, you're not doing it wrong if it seems easy!) and to get that remaining 20% of results, you have to shell out 80% of the effort. Now, I know a lot of people will say "but I want 100% so I'm happy to put out 80% of the effort) but diet isn't everything. The personality stuff (the control freakishness that I always talk about) is if anything even MORE important than diet, and it is 100% certainly more important than having diet "perfect" all the time. What happens is, in that control freakish quest to control every morsel of food you put into your mouth, you do more harm by far to your sway than if you'd just followed the dietary 80-20 rule to begin with.
So PLEASE just aim at a reasonable, good enough LE Diet and let go of the idea that you can ever do things "perfectly" because doing things perfectly actually screws an otherwise good pink sway! So it's actually perfect to do things less than perfectly.!!! Questions?? Check out the NEW and improved Complete Index !!!

No, that part is one of the necessary evils, the things we have to track because it helps us to conceive.
