gained 15-20 pounds from HE diet - happy to finally get pregnant since this diet is causing me to gain weight around my midsection already! Generally not a whole milk/whole dairy kind of person. Also, hard for me to adjust to not allowing myself to feel hungry. Have never snacked so much! I do pilates regularly (tried to make it all with heavier resistance) - 2-3x week and go for 20 min walks regularly.

Things that make me feel great about my sway:
husband hadn't biked for months and was weight lifting, I was strict on HE diet
Things that make me nervous about my sway:
being on the diet for so long I had gained quite a bit of weight; also, husband almost 41 so thinking age may come into this as well, had started spinning 2x week for 45 min. to help with stress and weight gain but could have done weight lifting
Things worth mentioning:[INDENT][I] I was so adamant on the Shettle's timing my first few attempts but the last few months I have been going with that was recommended. I moved from one attempt at O to only attempts at O to BD every few days and then 3 at peak OPK. Had 2 miscarriages in August (5 1/2 weeks) and end of October (MMC at 9 weeks).
