Comments regarding DW's diet changes-

Sort of followed the PCOS LE diet for about 10 weeks. I ate more protein and calories than suggested, but less than what I did with any of my boys. I also weaned from tons of supplements and was off them about 9 weeks. (weaning over 3 weeks previous because I kept forgetting to take them.) I also switched from salmon and beef to 95% chicken. I ate more wheat bread, brown rice and sweet potatoes than I have in years.

I was intermittent fasting for about 4 months prior. I did eat breakfast a few times and struggled with snacking. I REALLY struggled with snacking.

Started drinking coffee with almond milk for 10 weeks.

If diet was used, length of time before attempt?

10 weeks

Did you skip breakfast regularly?

Things that make me feel great about my sway:

I worked 'hard' at not letting my anxiety control me. I had moments, but in general made great strides in my day to day life.

Things that make me nervous about my sway:

We ended up TTCing a month early so I did not get my full 12 weeks of diet in and only just started jogging. Also bummed about the fact that I could not stick to the diet better (that much carbs caused migraines) and that I could not get my snacking under control.

congrats and pink dust headed your way!

[ksmom]

Congratulations! FX for pink!

[Spunky]

Thanks! I'm still a little shocked we got it on the first try. Between being 35, having a 9-10 day LP, and one attempt I never thought it would happen quickly. Plus, the day that I got my positive OPK, DH and I were in the same city but where staying on the opposite side of town. It was interesting to arrange that BDing session!

FXFXFX!

We did sneak peek a while ago and it said boy. I just got my NIPT back (insurance gave us the run around so it took awhile) and it confirmed boy. I guess I’m a boy mom.

I"m so sorry it didn't go your way spunky - but congrats on your newest addition! Your family is amazing and so very special!

[Eighme]

So sorry your sway didn't work out for you this time, Spunky. Mine didn't either. I completely understand how your feeling and it's totally okay to feel however you are. Just wanted send some peace and understanding your way.
