    Anyone else enjoying the sweet stuff!!

    Ok so main thing getting me through sway and daily exercise is my third meal of day where I am having sweets, cakes or chocolate! Keeping within my protein, fat and calorie limits and enjoying supper time immensely! Anyone else the same? 😉

    Oh yes! I eat junky things and sweetened drinks which I normally avoid completely. I think sugar is a great pink sway tactic provided you don't have insulin issues. After my last pregnancy, I completely lost my taste for dark chocolate (and it has never come back, so sad, but good for my sway) so I just have white chocolate, in small amounts.

    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

    As long as you are losing some weight (or at the least not gaining it) and do not have PCOS/IR that is fine! Enjoy.

    I'm loving the empty calories of lollies! Jelly beans etc are def getting me through. I was drinking wine as my empty calories but now that I've stopped I'm losing weight. Before I wasn't! I've never liked sweets much but am enjoying them on this diet.

    THere is no hard or fast rule. It is about what works best FOR YOU as an individual and not others.

    Until my last pregnancy, I enjoyed dark choc and liked white choc, and have always hated milk choc. Now, I can barely tolerate small amounts of dark choc (but still love brownies!) and definitely enjoy white more than I did before. Was your change in taste associated with your last pregnancy?

    I had cravings and avoidances in my earlier pregnancies that went past 5-6 weeks, but they never extended past pregnancy.
