DIET

Comments regarding DW's diet changes-
Began LE diet 14 months before BFP. Tracked everything with Myfitnesspal for a while before getting the hang of it. Have gone a good 16 hours without food on a daily basis and then 2-3 spaced out meals during day. Over time, I did relax the types of foods I was eating and started introducing eggs, full fat milk and meat because I was just not conceiving and very thin.
If diet was used, length of time before attempt?
14 months before BFP
Did you skip breakfast regularly?
Yes
Did DH change his diet with you?
No
Comments regarding DH's diet-
My husband started off going vegetarian but he couldn't carry it on the whole time.
DId you consume alcohol? A couple of drinks per week
DId you try to limit caffeine?
No, I drink caffeine regularly
Any Diet Details?
Would usually do:
First thing: coffee and small amount of cream
11-12noon: Small lunch
5pm: Dinner..would need to have a larger meal at this point because DH and children were getting worried about my weight and health
And that was it really! If I was particularly hungry on certain days, I may have added a small snack somewhere in there or even a hot chocolate or something just to fill up, but generally, my blood sugar was very low throughout the day...and I didn't feel well most of the time because of it!!
Any Diet Comments/Additional Info?

WEIGHT AND EXERCISE
What did you weigh/BMI do leading up to O?
112 lbs, BMI 19
Any Weight/Exercise related additional info/comments?
Started off exercising 7 days a week for an hour but cut that down quite drastically by the time I got BFP as I was having such health issues...so was probably doing half this amount by the time I got BFP.

Every 3 days

Any additional comments?
I stopped tracking ovulation and just dtd every 3 days. First attempts were using 7 day abstinence but wasn't working...then every 4 days didn't work...which is why we got to the every 3 days method...jackpot!

Any additional supplement info?
DH took olive leaf when he remembered...we both started on out LOADS of supplements but they messed us both up in various ways. So we ended up on the bare minimum
Did you do anything with Ions?
Not in a crazy way. Have salt rock lamp in room. Use aerosals, lavender, perfume. But don't put a bunch of stock into that.
Moon Phase during conception?
New Moon
Did you use any Old Wives Tales?
No...though Chinese Gender Calendar does say girl
Things that make me feel great about my sway:
I started off with my sway pretty intense and crazy-like. Wanted to get everything 'perfect'! I'm glad that by the time I conceived, I was much more relaxed about it and kind of thought 'what will be, will be'. I used to be extremely fertile, so swaying definitely messed that up as it took 6 attempts. My diet is also totally different to what it was with the others. And I had never done exercise regularly before. So I know my body chemistry was completely changed this year, and I've had lots of health issues alongside. This pregnancy came at the perfect time really because I am needing to really get healthy now, and would have had to start eating well if this attempt hadn't worked. Glad I stuck with the fibre at least too, even though I dropped all else.
Things that make me nervous about my sway:
I don't really feel nervous because I feel I did all that I could. MAYBE I'd say that I wish I'd been able to exercise every day, but it was just physically impossible because of my low weight and lack of nutrients...I just didn't have the ability.
Things worth mentioning:
Should mention I guess that even though I was successful on 6th attempt, we didn't try every month because my hubby travels a lot (and in the beginning I also obsessed about the Chinese gender calendar!). So we began our swaying 14 months ago, had first attempt after 2 months and then tried whatever month we could. Altogether, it was our 6th proper attempt.
Very excited to finally have filled this form out!! Been looking forward to it for sooooo long now :-)
Will come update in a few months.
