Comments regarding DW's diet changes-

I'm a vegetarian, so I already had that going for me. I cut out breakfast and at first was very strict about calories and fat. I was already starting from a BMI of about 19, and over the nearly 9 months I was on it, it slid down to close to 18.5. At that point my cycles started to get wonky, and I was worried that I'd lost too much weight, so I continued to skip breakfast, but I started not worrying about protein or fat or anything. I just ate what I wanted for the last month to try to get my weight back up a bit.

If diet was used, length of time before attempt?

I was on the diet for 7 weeks before we started trying, but then it took seven months of trying before we were successful. So I was on the diet for about 9 months.

Did you skip breakfast regularly?

Yes

Did DH change his diet with you?

No

The seventh month we went ahead and BD'd every day throughout my fertile window. It was exhausting, but it worked. Also, my husband was fighting a cold that week, which I subsequently caught during the TWW.

Any additional supplement info?

I was too nervous to cut out prenatals, so after a couple of months of trying, I started taking them again. It was stressing me out too much.

Did you do anything with Ions?

Did you use any Old Wives Tales?

I put a small wooden spoon and a girl onesie under the bed. That reminds me that I ought to go fetch it now. :-)

Things that make me feel great about my sway:

I was on the LE diet for a long time. I definitely felt physically depleted. Once we got our BFP, I started eating normally and realized just how different my eating habits had been during all those months of swaying.

Things that make me nervous about my sway:

The cycle we finally conceived we DTD every day throughout my whole fertile window until I confirmed ovulation with temping. I also wasn't being very strict about diet at that point because I was trying to gain some weight back. I did continue to skip breakfast, though.
