Comments regarding DW's diet changes-
My diet was completely opposite to when I conceived my boys. I was all day snacker, I ate loads of cereal, nuts, meat, dairy, vegetables etc. I was always eating. I went on a LE vegetarian diet & ate only twice a day around 11am & 5pm. No meat & no snacking. I also drank 1 can coke zero almost once a day on the sway. The last successful cycle I also added in 1 coffee a day & 1 alcohol a day - I dont normally drink either.
If diet was used, length of time before attempt?
I was on the LE vegetarian diet for 42 weeks last year before my first BFP which ended in micarriage at 10weeks. I restarted the LE diet that day & was on it for 11weeks at attempt & 12 weeks at our second BFP, so 1yr in total on LE vegetarian diet

No
Comments regarding DH's diet-
Hubby didnt change his diet at all but overall was eating a little less red meat & more chicken.

DId you try to limit caffeine?
Yes, I had 1 drink per day
Any Diet Details?
I introduced coffee & alcohol the successful cycle.
Any Diet Comments/Additional Info?
The diet was very repetitive, I pretty much ate the same thing every week. I did eat pineapple to assist with implantation 1dpo-7dpo
WEIGHT AND EXERCISE
What did you weigh/BMI do leading up to O?
I conceived DS1 at 70kg BMI 27
I conceived DS2 at 68kg BMI 26
I conceived this pregnancy at 55kg BMI 21
Initially I lost 10kg on the LE diet but gained 7kg very quickly following our BFP last year. After the miscarriage I restarted the LE diet & lost 5kg before this BFP.
Any Weight/Exercise related additional info/comments?
I was a couch potato this past year. I normally go walking with the pram but I tend to build muscle quite quickly. I knew if I continued to exercise a little this would stay the same. I also didnt have the time to exercise everyday so I didnt. I have noticed that I have lost a lot of muscle tone in general.

Any additional comments?
I wasnt well at the time of attempt & really not that into it. I had a lot of fatigue & I had gastro. My best friend reckons that crap sex always leads to pregnancy & she is right! I didnt jump & dump - I lay down for at least 10min but some did spill out.

Did you Jump and Dump? No
Any relevant attempt details?
Hubby usually releases on his own everynight which is why I think it took so long to conceive. Once I put him on a E3d self release pattern we got out BFPs
