Comments regarding DP's diet: He only slightly changed his diet, mainly he ate dinner meals the same as mine because he didn't want me to have to cook too many different meals (as the children had something completely different to us) but just general trying to cut back on sodium and meats. He limited Caffeine and also drank Crystal light.

Any diet Details? I skipped Breakfast EVERY day and I limited my intake of sodium, potassium and calories. I am usually have a heavy meat and chicken diet but I cut out all meat, chicken and fish. I only ate a small amount for Nimbin cheese apart from that I had NO other diary. My lunch most days was around 12-12.30pm and consisted of rice or corn cakes/crackers with a small amount of Nimbin cheese No butter. I drank either Coke zero or Crystal Light (imported from USA). Dinner was usually rice noodles or rice with steamed or pan fried veggies (cooked in 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil).
Living in a small country town in Australia made it was hard to find a lot of the special diet foods that some people where mentioning but I just stuck by the low sodium, potassium, fat and calories rule.

Things that make me feel great about my sway? Diet- I am a big meat eater and have never liked veggies and I usually have a high sodium intake. Having a complete opposite diet to when I conceived my 3 boys makes me hopeful and I have never been big on exercise also makes me feel positive. Also the weight loss.
Things that make me nervous about my sway? I am just generally a bit 'What If' about my sway some days I think I could have done more.
Things worth mentioning: I had bought a vet quality microscope and we did a bit of testing in the months leading up to attempt on what lowered DP's sperm count. A few times we did too much and killed everything in sight (so to speak) so with abstaining, hot shower and all the jellies I let DP back into his boxer shorts. (also it was 40 degree Celsius weather leading upto and on attempt).
I am very much hoping for a girl but if this bundle is a boy he will be loved just as much as his brothers and maybe next time we might try HT.
We will be having our 20 week scan around mid June I will keep you all posted :nails:
