Lunaception and Sugar Detox Update

It has been a frustrating second cycle with lunaception and a dismal failure on phase 5 of the sugar detox. First, I believed that the lunaception had actually begun working for me the first month because I had high daily temperatures (I didn't track my basal temps because we weren't actively trying that cycle) for a few days then it dipped back down to normal and despite the fact that I was still using the progesterone cream to start my cycles, the next cycle began on its own without me stopping the progesterone cream beforehand.

This cycle, I'm on CD26 and my temps have begun to seesaw drastically, which means an anovulatory cycle. Each day that I have a temp drop we do the baby dance, but I'm disappointed because I may have a significant rise the next day but two days after it'll drop drastically again. I have decided to follow the original author, Louise Lacey's suggestion that until my cycles begin following the moon we sleep in complete darkness. I don't think this will hurt us any to do this for awhile.

As for the sugar detox, I've had a major backslide on it. It's been a difficult month for us financially and when you depend on others for your food supply, it's hard to eat what you need instead of what's available. Phase 5 is when you are supposed to eliminate all refined sources of sugar. I haven't been able to do that and for the first couple of weeks, I managed to keep my intake under 15g of refined sugars per day but we also had some pretty steady money coming in but the last few weeks we have been broke and depending on the food my parents buy to eat. My parents are not healthy eaters and they definitely do not care if foods comply with the sugar detox. My dad tries, he asks me if things are okay but that's only if I'm with him when he goes to the store.

I also haven't lost any weight. Originally when I'd started phase 5 I dropped about 5 pounds but that hasn't stayed off since I've been eating what's available which more often than not contains more than my desired daily intake of refined sugars. I'm hoping to get back on track once we get some money to go grocery shopping.
