DIET
Did you follow a diet plan?
I followed a strict diet plan for 8 months but stopped ovulating so stopped the diet.
If yes to diet, which one did you most follow?•LE(Low Everything)
Initially low everything, but no diet when I conceived or for the 4 months before that. I still mostly skipped breakfast out of habit and my diet was definitely on the low nutrient side, but I ate meat and didn't think about it much as all.
Comments regarding DW's diet changes-
Didn't have breakfast regularly, only a coffee with milk if I did.
If diet was used, length of time before attempt?
I had a pretty girl friendly diet for the year before we conceived, but only 8 months of this was on the strict side.
Did you skip breakfast regularly?
Maybe four times a week?
Did DH change his diet with you?
No
Comments regarding DH's diet-
We were not actively swaying when we conceived so no changes.
DId you consume alcohol?•
A couple of drinks per week
DId you try to limit caffeine?
No, I did not factor that into my sway
Any Diet Comments/Additional Info?
White bread, lots of carbs and pretty low protein in general. Still had lots of fruit and veg.

WEIGHT AND EXERCISE
What did you weigh/BMI do leading up to O?
Not sure, MAYBE 20ish?
lost around - didn't lost any and definitely heavier than four months prior to conceiving.
Any Weight/Exercise related additional info/comments?
couch potato for when we conceived, but I did extreme exercise for six months of our ttc journey and lost too much weight and stopped ovulating.
I think the single biggest factor in our sway is that the four months leading up to conception was without a doubt the most stressful of my whole life. We moved continents to a country where I didn't speak the language, my children had a lot of struggles adjusting and we had no support. It was a very, very stressful time and I just felt unhealthy in general.

Things that make me feel great about my sway:
Let's be honest, it wasn't really a sway, but I have added the details because I honestly believe that the stress in my life and overall poor diet choices is what resulted in a girl. I just didn't have time to look after myself. Or, someone could see how much effort I put in last year when I didn't fall pregnant and thought I deserved it!!
