Interesting that there have been more twins than you would expect. All the women in my family seem highly fertile - get pregnant at the drop of the hat but never any twins until now. I was very sick the month before getting pregnant - high temp. for over a week and ill for about three weeks. I don't think this has anything to do with it but I was in really bad condition! I'm pretty healthy now though - no bad morning sickness, just nausea.
Thanks for filling in the gaps!! Yes I just can't figure it out and half-wonder if it may be something more along the lines of "if you've had X number of boys that raises your chances of twinning" kind of thing instead.

the more kids you've had, the more likely you are to have twins.
I think sometimes we overthink the "LE Diet times are decreasing" idea a bit though. While that is the logic that underlies the idea, LE Diet limits are all still NORMAL dietary intake recommended by WHO and other sources as a safe, healthy prepregnancy diet for women of childbearing age. Most of human existence we lived on rotten food and barely any of it, so I am not convinced that LE Diet done properly is perceived as low nutrient intake by the body.
Something else is that we often eat more carbs as % of our overall diet on LE too, so maybe that has something to do with it. It may be a confluence of PCO-tendencies, increased carbs, but decreased cals that makes hyperovulation occur (meaning if we have PCO tendencies and that may play some part as to why we have boys to start with, we increase carbs as a % of our overall food intake but at the same time decrease cal intake and add in exercise which then prevents us from getting PCO full blown, but may still make us make more eggs than we would otherwise...sheer speculation but I do think PCOS is a part of the puzzle of the reason why this works. )

It's a girl! I couldn't resist booking an early ultrasound at 15 weeks and the sonographer said she was very confident it is a girl - that she wished all scans were that easy. I know it's still early days but feeling quite confident our baby is a she :-) Will feel even better once confirmed at 18 weeks.

Atomic, this may sound crazy but I’ve been reading about moon phases… I have a ‘red moon cycle’ currently which I didn’t used to have. Meaning my period is coinciding with the full moon. From...
