Did you purchase and follow a GD Personalized Plan? Yes
DIET
Did you follow a diet plan? Yes
If yes to diet, which one did you most follow?
Comments regarding DW's diet changes- I mostly followed LE, but also tried to add in foods that are considered acidic. I skipped breakfast and snacks, tried to eat only when I was really hungry. I didn't count protein, fat, or carbs as I didn't want to obsess too much. I mainly just tried to choose low calorie, low nutrient options. I had one cup of coffee with cream and sugar every morning around 10 am. Had a glass of wine mixed with pure cranberry juice nightly.
If diet was used, length of time before attempt? I stopped nursing/pumping DS2 in July and began the diet early July. We conceived at the end of September, so about 10 weeks or so.
Did you skip breakfast regularly? Yes
Did DH change his diet with you? No
Comments regarding DH's diet- DH didn't really change his diet, just tried to eat less red meat.

Things that make me feel great about my sway: I felt like I put my all into it and did the best that I could. I normally eat a very boy-friendly diet so these modification were a big change for me. I also felt good about only having one attempt (atomic said she felt like the O-5 attempt didn't count). I was sick around the time of our attempt so I was hoping that would make our attempt extra pink-friendly.
Things that make me nervous about my sway: I didn't follow the diet for as long as I had wanted but I had been sick and my weight was lower than I preferred so I figured it was a good time to go for it.
Things worth mentioning: We are thrilled to be having boy #3 but I will always long for a little girl. Trying to convince DH to go HT in 2019. Hopefully I'll get my way
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...
