Comments regarding DW's diet changes-
I cut back on meat and proteins but only lost 3-5lbs. I skipped breakfast most of the time but still snacked most of the time. I have Celiac Disease, dairy and egg allergy so I'm crap at dieting because I'm already so restricted. The holidays (and stress that comes with it) and our kids being sick for 3 weeks killed any self-discipline I had when it came to dieting. :/
If diet was used, length of time before attempt?
2 months of skipping breakfast and cutting back on meat, proteins and healthy fats.
Did you skip breakfast regularly?
Yes
Did DH change his diet with you?
No
Comments regarding DH's diet-
Skipped breakfast, drank more alcohol

Drank Crystal Light, haven't done that in 13 years (it made me sick at first!). Had more alcohol than I have in years and cut back on meat.

Any additional supplement info?
I had used Pregnitude or EstroSmart on and off for the past three months. I was worried about egg quality due to my age and hormonal imbalance due to other symptoms. It made my cycle shorter (too short) and less painful.
Did you do anything with Ions?
No
Moon Phase during conception?
Waxing Gibbous
Did you use any Old Wives Tales?
No
Things that make me feel great about my sway:
I'm still breastfeeding my 2yo 3-4 times for nap and bedtime and I get about 5 hrs. or less sleep a night. I have been drinking Crystal Light and alcohol for the past month. I used RePresh and took a hot shower. DH wore briefs (a size too small even!) and took a hot bath prior to DTD. We only DTD once and I'm pregnant. In the past we DTD multiple times and not at ovulation.
Things that make me nervous about my sway:
I didn't stick with the diet, only lost 3-5lbs. and ovulated early so I had to use RePresh 2-3 hours before we DTD.
Things worth mentioning:
I'm excited to be pregnant! Regardless of the gender of this baby it is so very wanted!!
