Comments regarding DW's diet changes-I wasn't very strict with my diet. I had been following parts of the diet for a year, ie rarely any meat, smaller portions, lots more caffeine, skipping breakfast. But went through phases where my calorie counting was rather lax.

DH Supplements-Any additional supplement info?I take 1000mg metformin daily for PCOSDid you do anything with Ions?
I was also on the pill (Yasmin) and succeeded in catching the first egg after stopping the pill.NoMoon Phase during conception?New MoonDid you use any Old Wives Tales?NoThings that make me feel great about my sway:My diet is definitely less nutritious than it has been when I conceived my three boys. I'm eating a lot less meat (avoid it mostly now), and smaller portions. Was never a big coffee drinker and now I've been having 2 or 3 cups a day.Things that make me nervous about my sway:
There are a few things I did differently for this conception that I definitely wasn't doing for my boys - regular exercise, actively losing weight, NOT taking B vitamin supplements and prenatal vitamins, and one BD attempt.
My hormone profile has changed a lot since conceiving my boys. Yasmin and metformin have helped lower testosterone, balance my blood sugar levels, and raise SHBG.I have a sweet tooth and I'm not confident I cut down my sugar intake enough - maybe relied a bit too much on the metformin to balance that.Things worth mentioning:
I didn't really lose much weight, definitely not at my lowest weight ever. I would have liked to have lost a lot of weight, but knowing myself, I'd struggle to stick to any form of strict diet for longer than 2 months, so I made the decision not to be too strict or worry about my weight too much.
I was only strict with the LE diet in the last 5 weeks before TTC, which I know is not ideal!
My weight and my diet are the things I find hardest to change. But I have consciously shifted my diet over the past year, and the changes that I've found easy, I've stuck to long term.-
