Comments regarding DW's diet changes-
I wasn't following the 'traditional' LE diet I was however skipping breakfast, no snacking and only eating 2 meals a day. Following the principle but not counting calories etc. I really just wanted to see if I could skip breakfast and only eat 2 meals a day. Was easier than I thought BUT I must mention it was a particularly warm Summer here in Melbourne so not eating was easy because it was too hot to eat anything bad.
If diet was used, length of time before attempt?
Around 11ish weeks but I actually think it was possibly longer.
Did you skip breakfast regularly?
Yes
Did DH change his diet with you?
Yes
Comments regarding DH's diet-
We were doing HT in May so we were both eating healthy foods and more vegetarian meals at night, something we really enjoyed so still do. Again because it was Summer eating fresh yummy salads was all I was craving.
DId you consume alcohol? Often- daily
DId you try to limit caffeine?
Yes, I had 1 drink per day
Any Diet Details?
I only have 1 coffee a day so I didn't exactly cut back.

Sorry for the TMI! It was actually in our pool and DH pulled out that was why we were totally shocked we were pregnant. It just didn't seem possible. No O for me and I swam around for about 10mins until the monitor went off because DS2 had woken.

Any additional supplement info?
I was taking daily a prenatal, 600mg's CoQ10, 400mg's DHA Plant Omega 3 and 5mg's Myonositol. DH was taking daily a men's multi vitamin, 1000mg's VitC, 15ml's OLE
Did you do anything with Ions?
No but it was hot so thinking back we did have the bedroom ceiling fan on every night because I don't like sleeping with the a/c on, I get too cold.
Moon Phase during conception?
New Moon
Did you use any Old Wives Tales?
No
Things that make me feel great about my sway:
1 attempt, a massive oops, the fact that DH pulled out and the dietary changes I had made......I guess. Was a big shock so can't say I really felt great about too much I'm afraid.
Things that make me nervous about my sway:
Everything! All the vitamins we were on. The fact I hadn't done a real sway because if I had chosen to sway I definitely would have purchased a personalised plan, without a doubt!
Things worth mentioning:
It's a GIRL!!! We can't believe it and I don't think I will until I'm safely holding her in my arms. Thank you Atomic and all the ladies on this fantastic forum.
