Comments regarding DW's diet changes
Ate breakfast every day. I usually had oatmeal with blue berries, bananas and almonds. I would also have 1 - 2 boiled eggs a day. My snacks consisted of cheeses, lots of full fat yogurt with pine apples. I also had a lot of fruits. Had steaks about 2 - 3 times a week and chicken the other days of the week. Ate lots of green veggies and sweet potatoes. Drank a couple of glasses of lemon water a day and had 1 - 2 cups of green tea with honey and lemon every morning. I mostly ate organic foods and tried to have more of an alkaline diet.

Have no clue since I used the EOD frequency. I was getting very stressed out trying to use OPKs that I just said forget it and just did EOD. That was much less stressful for me and I don't know when I ovulated.

Things that make me feel great about my sway:
The diet I was on was very different from when I conceived both my girls. I used to always skip breakfast and never really snacked. I felt I ate a lot with this sway but I ate very healthy. I didn't eat junk (maybe hamburgers and french fries once in a while) but majority of the time I cooked my own food and it was strictly lean meats, chicken, veggies and fruits. The only fattening foods were probably the yogurts and cheeses but everything was pretty much organic.
Things that make me nervous about my sway:
The 2 things that made me nervous about this sway was I wasn't working out and my DH was really involved too much with the sway. If it failed I would have blamed him LOL.
Things worth mentioning:
When I first started the diet I was taking supplements like CQ10 and others I don't really remember. Since a lot of these supplements you had stop while pregnant or aren't safe during pregnancy, I decided to just stick with the simple supplements that I don't really have to worry about during pregnancy. I also tried to leave out anything that created too much stress for me like the OPKs. I wanted this to be a fun and enjoyable experience since we were creating a life. I was team green until about a week ago when I gave birth to a beautiful baby BOY!
