Comments regarding DW's diet changes-
Went low every nutrient from a very high nutrient diet. Usually eat fairly clean, high fiber, moderate fat, moderate protein diet. Went for lower fat, lower nutrient items like white rice and white bread. Ate fewer fruits and veggies. Drank a glass of wine almost every night and salt intake remained high like normal. Another big difference is I usually stay away from Aspartame and instead drank 1-2 diet cokes a day.

Did it for 4 weeks, then had two months of not conceiving, so a total of 12 weeks before successful cycle.

I started using repHresh, but we did not conceive in 2 months with it. i think it was too much for me and DH. We switched to sylk during attempts and totally went off the repHresh, and got pregnant the first cycle.

Things that make me feel great about my sway:
Well, I got a girl :) It was lazy, but that's the way it had to be for me. I took some things and
Things that make me nervous about my sway:
-
Things worth mentioning:
Some of this is repetitive, I copied and pasted from another form. Lazy Sway. I am not usually a diet soda drinker, but I drank at least 1-2 Diet Cokes a day. I dropped the RepHresh after 2 months of not conceiving and got pregnant the very next month. I have a feeling it was too much for me. Instead, we used Sylk (with the guidance of atomic) and that worked like a charm. My diet wasn't strict at all, but I usually eat lots of nutrient dense food (avocados, lots of veggies, whole grains, fruits, etc) , and honestly ate more plain rice and white bread during this time. When I was ovulating, I had a huge craving for middle eastern shawarma (CHICKEN!) and indulged in it and still got a girl. I did not cut down on wine/alcohol (about a glass a night) nor did I cut down on salt intake. DH didn't lift a finger with this sway. Also, we BDed pretty much every day around ovulation, just to ensure pregnancy.
