Any Diet Details?
After LE opposite doing strict LE for 6 months for DS2 and exercising decided to do relaxed version of PCOS LE diet while waiting for DH to agree to try for a girl one more time. Wasn't accounting calls as this is not good for me, was loosely trying to stay within PCOS fat and protein rangers without obsessing. Delayed breakfast if I could (hard sometimes as like milk and sugar in my coffee and need this early to survive with a baby and toddler). Allowed myself sugar in one coffee even though technically not allowed on PCOS diet but couldn't give this up for endless months as we were not sure we would even try again for sure.
Any Diet Comments/Additional Info?
Added in few more white carbs occasionally towards last few weeks as needed to stop weight loss.
WEIGHT AND EXERCISE
What did you weigh/BMI do leading up to O?
BMI 19.2
BMI 21.4 when started LE PCOS diet
Any Weight/Exercise related additional info/comments?
Did do exercise this time as already busy with 2 little men and didn't want to get obsessive about it and also didn't have too much weight to spare. Got very upset last away if I couldn't exercise regularly and didn't need this added stress.

BD Dates according to Ovulation No idea
Any additional comments?
Unsure as was on the contraceptive pill but had gastro (went through whole family) but as was so busy and DH and I rarely had a chance to BD didn't even think about the fact that this might be a problem.
I know when we BD as was only day we had had alone in ages as family took the boys for the day. According to first scan conception 5 days after BD (unlikely) and next scan gestational age put conception 3 days after bd.

Things that make me feel great about my sway:
Was less obsessive this time compared to kitchen sink type sway last time. Tried PCOS version of LE as had sway opposite and also had gestational diabetes with DS1 (but not DS2 however he was 9 pound 3!)
Things that make me nervous about my sway:
Wasn't actively TTC so wasn't strict with skipping breakfast, had sugar in my morning coffee. Worried no exercise (except usual running around with boys) will be detrimental.
Things worth mentioning:
Wanted to wait til 20w scan showed all ok before posting as was worried Bub might not make it as was drinking alcohol til about 5 1/2 w pregnant (only 1-2 drinks most nights, not every night) as didn't know I was pregnant as we weren't TTC yet. Didn't find out gender at 20w scan as didn't want to be heartbroken the day before DS2's birthday but tech wouldn't write gender down for us so have to wait til dr. Appointment in 2 weeks to see if they can tell me from scan pics otherwise will be team green til birth but not sure I can cope with not knowing til then.
