    Comments regarding DW's diet changes-
    Followed the LE PCOS diet with a purchased plan and great advice from Atomic along the way: mainly vegetarian, kept within recommended calorie limits apart from a treat day maybe once a month or so (I actually quite enjoyed all the veggies and unrefined grains, flours etc but missed chocolate and cake a lot!), only whole fat dairy if I had any but reduced overall compared with pre-diet, unrefined/wholegrain rice, bread, tried to eliminate sugar from diet as much as possible. Drank lots of coffee (4-5 times a day) but had never drunk coffee before in my life!
    If diet was used, length of time before attempt?
    Six months but took three months of active TTC before BFP so I was on diet for eight months in total

    BMI 19.0
    Any Weight/Exercise related additional info/comments?
    Lost about 5kg over eight months bringing me to about 50kg at time of BFP. Lowest adult weight since my mid-twenties. BMI of 19.0. Tried to hold steady at this weight and had to cut back exercise a little. I averaged 4-6 1hr sessions of brisk walking or dance DVDs a week. So not daily exercise at that level but often not far off.

    I think the survey form lost a couple of my answers. So here goes:
    Any relevant attempt details: I didn’t use OPKs as they stressed me out, so going on ovulation symptoms and baby gestation I think we had one attempt on or 1 day before ovulation. We had another attempt 4 days later on e4d but it looks like that was too late.
    Things that make me nervous about my sway: I was stressed leading up to attempt time, I had also been on holiday and had a few cheats that week, and I was half tempted not to make an attempt. But I reasoned that some random midcycle spotting I had experienced just that month was possibly pink-friendly so I left it to fate and we had the attempt.

    I should also mention that Atomic was amazing throughout the eight months and I really recommend a purchased plan. Atomic gave me a lot of individual advice and reassurance at times when I wasn’t sure about things or worried about erratic ovulation or cycle symptoms.

    Other diet info: DH only drank soy milk for about five months leading up to BFP. I also delayed breakfast most days until 9.30/10am (my children get up at 5.30/6am so I was very hungry by 9.30/10am). I eliminated snacking almost entirely which was a big change for me. I used to snack a lot. If I felt tired on the diet I would sometimes have a snack of a rye cracker with peanut butter but tried very hard to cut back. I got used to it over time and just made the most of my three meals a day.
