Any Diet Details? I included breakfast after a couple of months because I couldn't eat enough later in the morning. It was one of my meals, but I had a 12 hour fast between dinner the night before and breakfast. I didn't count calories but made sure I wasn't eating a lot of meat or dairy (for protein) like I used to. I felt pretty satisfied with how much I was eating overall, especially towards the end of the 3 months.
Any Diet Comments/Additional Info? I ate mainly chicken, fish or eggs, at night only. I had red meat only a couple of times in the 3 months. I had a couple of slices of cheese on my sandwich at lunch, but not a lot of dairy like I normally would. I kept to the no snacking pretty well, there was a couple of times I had cake or something at a party. If I was hungry in between meals I had a black coffee, diet coke or carrot or celery sticks. I always had a peppermint tea at night after the kids went to bed.

Things that make me feel great about my sway: The no snacking and keeping to 3 meals a day. The e4d attempt pattern.
Things that make me nervous about my sway: The attempt on cd 16 which was in the morning and not the night. I worried it wasn't enough time apart like the other attempts 2 attempts.
Things worth mentioning: I was a bit worried about trying for a 4th child, in terms of coping with it all (my eldest is 6). But I thought, 'you regret the things in life you don't do', and I thought I wouldn't regret having another boy, as I love all my boys. I actually can't believe I'm having a girl, even though it was confirmed by amnio. I don't know why it worked for me, my sway wasn't as great as others I've read on here. Thank you to Atomic and others for answering my questions, I'm so grateful for this website! Just hoping for a healthy pregnancy until she's born.
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...
