Comments regarding DW's diet changes-

I have been strict and not so strict on this diet over the last 7 months.
Since Jan I have been vegetarian apart from a few cheats of chicken. I started skipping breakfast which I always ate. I ate loads of cereal before I get pregnant with my DS. I strictly ate twice a day and most days had about 18 hours fast between my last meal and lunch the next day. I ate lower end of LE and sometimes was under at around 1200 cals. I ate a lot of empty white carbs.

If diet was used, length of time before attempt?

7 months, some strict some loosely

Did you skip breakfast regularly?

Yes

Did DH change his diet with you?

Yes

Comments regarding DH's diet-

Hubby started eating quorn with me at meal times but still ate meat otherwise. He drank peppermint tea anyway.

DId you consume alcohol?

• Often- daily

DId you try to limit caffeine?

No, I did not factor that into my sway

Any Diet Details?

I started strict in Oct 13. I lost 7lbs that month. I then followed it loosely over Nov/Dec and ended up gaining the 7lbs back over xmas. I was super strict from Jan and lost 14lbs very quickly then it slowed down. I had lost 15lbs then convinced myself I was pregnant from our Feb attempt and really pigged out in the 2ww. I then gained 5lbs and found out I wasn't pregnant and was very strict again. At OV I had lost 3 of the 5lbs I had gained.

Any relevant attempt details?

We had tried abstain and FR on previous months. We were going for FR with CFR before attempt. DH started well with FR but I O'd later than expected and he forgot so missed 2 days. He then released twice the day before attempt and also the morning of attempt then we dtd that evening of the 2nd release of the day. I had no big O. I had a lot of ewcm so took a antihistamine in the morning and 2 hours before attempt. I still felt like I had a lot though.

Things that make me feel great about my sway:

I had lost weight and am at the 2nd lowest weight in my adult life.
The fact we had one attempt and it was on the 2nd release of the day
I had been vegetarian since Jan

Things that make me nervous about my sway:

Gaining the 5lbs in march and not managing to loose it all.
No exercise as I really wanted to factor that in
I just cannot imgine myself having a DD

Things worth mentioning:

We will be staying team green/yellow whichever you prefer and having a surprise!! Its going to be a long 9 months!!

I want to also thank Atomic and everyone else who gave me advice xx
