Comments regarding DW's diet changes-

Stuck to limits of fat and protein and didnt stress too much. Lost a lot of weight. Breastfeeding once a day up to 2 months before bfp so tried to stick to around 1500 calories a day. Managed to avoid snacking between two meals a day 90-95% of the time but if i got headaches i did. Avoided breakfast most of the time but when i did stuck to the limits for the day. The month before i conceived i ate normally for 2-3 weeks due to the holiday period and being around family already concerned about my weight loss ( 28 pounds and 2 dress sizes) so i did intend to skip that month to avoid stressing about it but ended up getting pregnant as ovulated a few days earlier than expected. WHOOPS!

If diet was used, length of time before attempt?

A good 7 months before the bfp, 3 months before ttc.
Ds2 was 9 weeks on LE diet so was happy being on it longer term to give it my all for my last baby

Did you skip breakfast regularly?

Yes

Did DH change his diet with you?

No

Comments regarding DH's diet-

Eats a lot of chicken not so much red meat. He drank 1 cup of peppermint tea most evenings. He was under a lot of stress the month we conceived

DId you consume alcohol?

• A couple of drinks per week

DId you try to limit caffeine?

No, I did not factor that into my sway

Any Diet Details?

As above. Ive been vegetarian since i was twelve

Any Diet Comments/Additional Info?

I realised on tracking my eating habits on MFP that although not consuming a huge amount of calories the food i was eating was very high in fat, a lot of good fat but also way too much cheese so cut that out and swapped for higher protein lower fat options as i struggled to hit my protein goals. After a few months i managed to balance the protein and fat according to the limits of LE diet, felt better for it and lost 28 pounds. So very happy

Not sure but was slightly overweight, at time of bfp i was the lower end of normal bmi for my height of 5ft3

Any additional comments?

Was trying to avoid the month we conceived as i ate normally over the holiday period for 2-3 weeks and didnt want to fret over that but i ovulated a few days earlier. I was still temping and took opk when i had early ewcm. I frantically took antihistamines when i realised i was ovulating. I still got a lot of ewcm despite being on the le diet and i dont think that was ever going to change

Did you use any Old Wives Tales?

No idea about the moon but no option in above drop down box to take that into account
No owt

Things that make me feel great about my sway:

I cant believe i got pregnant with 5 maybe 4 day cut off! Must have been less swimmers around then. My husband has a very high sex drive so shouldnt be too surprised i suppose- he thinks hes got super sperm now lol! My 2 ds were 1 attempt right before ovulation so its different if nothing else. 1 attempt. Felt great about the weight loss, everyone commented i lost 2 dress sizes. Ive had around 20 girl guesses and only 1 boy guess from my 13w 3d scan from various nub guessing sites. Ive got a pic on here so would love more guesses! Getting slightly obsessed!!

Things that make me nervous about my sway:

The 2-3 wreks of eating normally the month before i conceived My husband has such a high sex drive and think we can only make boys.
My previous unsuccessful girl sway- glad it didnt work now tho or wouldnt have my gorgeous baby boy Both my boys were 1 attempt within 2 months off starting ttc. This baby was 2nd attempt really as i had a chemical so must be really fertile even tho statistically at 38 shouldnt be!!
I did feel calmer being on le diet but didnt struggle on it or feel too hungry so worried maybe i wasnt doing it right!

Things worth mentioning:

I had a chemical pregnancy the second month ttc. I gave this sway as much as i could without it stressing me out too much so whatever will be will be

[jellybean79]

Sorry i should have put the chemical pregnancy was my first month ttc not second. I know that miscarriage can sway girl so obviously as it was a chemical 2 months before i dont want to mess up your statistics incase you use it. Thanks!
