Comments regarding DW's diet changes-
Very strict LE diet for roughly last 8 months, before that I did IG diet. My last two months on LE were upper limits of diet but not over. 6 months of LE diet was under or right on the lowest recommended levels. Cheats only occasionally in 2ww. In the month I conceived I added in 1 piece of toast with jam for breakfast and meat 3 x a week. I had been TTC 18 months and on some sort of diet the whole time, I had nothing left and needed to give my body something to use to get pg.

8 months on LE, and before that IG diet for 10 months.

WEIGHT AND EXERCISE
What did you weigh/BMI do leading up to O?
60 kg leading up to o. 20 bmi.
Any Weight/Exercise related additional info/comments?
No exercise at all. With ds 1 and 2 I exercised every other day, was keen to avoid this and couldn't do it every day due to not wanting to loose much more weight. I was at 19 bmi at one stage while swaying and almost stopped ovulating. My weight had been steady for 2 months when I conceived though.

Since I was on my third month of clomid, I intended to have more attempts but dh got gastro and then a cold, during our attempts he still had a cold. We ended up doing a 9 day abstain before our first attempt at o-2 and a second attempt 2 days later on o day. I literally felt o pains 10 mins after we dtd.

Any additional supplement info?
Dh took olive leaf extract in small doses the month we conceived, since we had tried so long. He was also on calc mag tablets. A few months prior he had taken cranberry for 6 months. I took asprin for about 6 months then stopped when I started clomid. This was my third cycle on 50mg clomid prescribed to lengthen my short luteal and bring ov earlier in cycle (it was late).
Did you do anything with Ions?
No
Moon Phase during conception?
Waning Gibbous
Did you use any Old Wives Tales?
Girl outfit under bed (ridiculous I know).
Things that make me feel great about my sway:
I swayed hard on IG for 10 months then found this site and the LE diet made so much more sense. I was inspired and went a little to hard on it, loosing too much weight too fast then backed myself into a corner and had a month where I almost didn't ovulate (finally happened cd24) and I realised I needed to relax a bit. I started clomid that month so I felt I could get away with more, and went to the middle of the diet limits. After another bfn I went to mid to upper limits of the diet and included meat 3 x a week (still within the limits) and 1 pierce of toast with jam for breakfast. I was on month 3 of clomid 50mg and only had two attempts. Dh was sick with gastro leading up to attempts and had a cold during the attempts. I never snacked, even in 2ww. Everything about swaying girl was totally different to how I naturally lived and ate.
Things that make me nervous about my sway:
Adding meat that last month and breakfast evern if it was a LE friendly one. I sometimes had a cheat day or two in 2ww (but still didnt snack). Wish I'd been able to exercise daily. I am anaemic and had to take an iron supp. I took one that had only iron in it and whenever I missed a dose I would get dizzy and feel faint so I hope that means my body needed it badly enough that it doesn't sway against me.
