Totally agree with Kitty! I was on it eight months and likewise ate pretty much the same thing every day for lunch, drank ALOT of diet coke and then had room to eat a few more cals and eat whatever DH was cooking. I also had cheat meals! It does get easier it became like second nature and I barely thought about it! Good luck X

I also eat a lot of the same few meals over and over. At least 2 meals a day are the same every day, most days.
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

Ditto to the same meals, though I got sick of my cottage cheese/rice cake lunch and changed it up this week....
Dinner is usually the one that varies. My third 'meal' is always ice cream with cookie/candy, if that can count as a 'meal', LOL.

Atomic, this may sound crazy but I’ve been reading about moon phases… I have a ‘red moon cycle’ currently which I didn’t used to have. Meaning my period is coinciding with the full moon. From...
