Comments regarding DW's diet changes-

Absolutely floored at realization of HOW DIFFERENT my diet was before. Even on cheat days (or benders lol) my diet was substantially lower nutrient than my whole entire life.
I axed cream from my morning coffee, but still had it for my drive through a couple times a week. Gave up cereal. Pretty much gave up red meat with the exception of the odd random burger (maybe 3 since March). Gave up eggs (unless they were in stuff... like cake... i couldnt give up cake...lol) Didnt drink milk, but did have the occasional low fat icecream. All the dairy i consumed was low fat (again unless i was out or a special occasion).
I started skipping breakfast in my dry run, starting in January, leading up to my sway - something I never did before...
I was breastfeeding much more at the start of my sway so my cals were always 1500-1800, but then when I could see I wasnt losing anything from that I went 1200-1500, and often still the 1800, just enough to get the weight loss started.
I was often on the low end for protien, and a fair bit maxing out my fat intake (especially toward the end, I added a bit more meat back).
Also chose more pink fats, forgoing my usual olive oil.

If diet was used, length of time before attempt?

Since March 2015 (5.5 months)

Did you skip breakfast regularly?

Yes

Did DH change his diet with you?

Yes

Comments regarding DH's diet-

He ate what I ate, in fact skipped more meals bc he's terrible at work... drank more beer as well.

DId you consume alcohol?

• Often- daily

DId you try to limit caffeine?

No, I drink caffeine regularly

Any Diet Details?

Any Diet Comments/Additional Info?

I more or less found LE easy; social events were a littel awkward; and the TWW got to be really challenging.

WEIGHT AND EXERCISE
What did you weigh/BMI do leading up to O?

Around 21.6.

Any Weight/Exercise related additional info/comments?

Lost about 30 pounds all in all. Got down to 117lbs; lowest Ive been in my adult life I beleive - since my teens.
Cardio at the beginning, and then on hold because leading up to O, O, and after O for a bit was incredibly painful. I went full on couch potato the last cycle, but I went from only being able to run/jog like 45 seconds to running a full 60 mins. I was super proud.

DTD was painful on clomid.. I just wanted him done lol, I hope my lack of enthusiasm helped keep his T tevels in check I totally layed there after.. whereas in the past I J&D everytime within 5 mins.

SUPPLEMENTS USED
DW Supplements

• Clomid
• folic acid
• Fiber

DH Supplements

-

Any additional supplement info?

I started out with Vitex, but screwed that up, and then my inital round of clomd I also screwed up... I basically took 2 rounds of clomid back to back because we were trying to jump start O, and then I did O on my own, but then still took the Clomid starting again day 3.
Also I took the clomid for swaying only, but turned out I had a short luteal phase so I guess it was needed after all.
I was pretty good with the fibre, then I ran out and it took me awhile to get back into it again.
DH did OLE (dont see that option here on the survey), but he was even more wishy-washy than I was with the fibre.

Did you do anything with Ions?

No

Moon Phase during conception?

Full Moon

Did you use any Old Wives Tales?

Yeah.... silly but I did a tie dye with a heart shape; folded it, and then wrapped a sweet little shabby chic headband around it... tucked it under the bed.

Things that make me feel great about my sway:

Where to begin! First of all, I really do feel at ease with whatever outcome I have coming. I had put myself under a ridiculous time limit to nail this down, and while I DID it; I was talking myself into continuing TTC, and figuring the dialogue I would use for my clients. That last month I loosened up on my plans.
I lost a lot of weight, made a lot of big changes, but Im just so glad to be pregnant - Im over the moon over whatever this bubs is made out to be.

Things that make me nervous about my sway:

Full Moon. LOL
Oh and testosterone. I was on the clomid 4 rounds (including the screwy round) and I think it did raise my T levels a lot.. I broke out like crazy this past cylce.. and in weird places that I typically dont break out (and i dont often break out anyways).

Things worth mentioning:

I call my sway the "Wishy Washy Sway".
It was on again off again - Cardio, Fibre, OLE (DH), and towards the end the TWW was murderous and I was not as behaved as I should have been... that being said my "Bad days" were 10x better than my good days before!

Firstly HUGE congrats hitme!!! I've been AWOL for a few weeks but have often wondered about you as you really helped motivate me when I started out on LE! Delighted to see you are pregnant and within your allotted time too
And secondly I love your wishy-washy sway!! I am SO at the same place right now with the on again, off again lol but I love the way you wrote ""Bad days" were 10x better than my good days before!" That makes me realise I'm probably doing better than I think. Hoping you hear pink and that you have a happy and healthy 9 months!! xxx

[XXforhubby]

Awesome sway- well done! I bet you have a pink sticky bean in there! Yay! I'm so happy for you !!

Thank you Hopper! I've been thinking about you too! Be kind to yourself, I truly feel being less stressed helped bring it all together. It's about the big overall changes, not the odd day you hit McDobalds drive through... Xo!
