Comments regarding DW's diet changes- Very different from what i ate with my boys.
Before i started the LE diet i only ate normal again for four weeks. Before that, i was on a low carb diet for 6 months.
Always ate 5 to 6 times a day (even more when i conceived my boys, i was a typical grazer), so 2 meals a day was very different.
With my boys i avoided aspartame and was a dairy addict. This time i took aspartame and only had one serving of dairy a day or skipped it.
If diet was used, length of time before attempt? in total 19 weeks, with pauses in between from O - AF and one whole months due to birthdays and holiday.
Before our first attempt i was 7 weeks on diet. After first attempt i was off diet for 6 weeks although i tried to avoid meat as much as possible and skipped breakfast. I was not totally off diet. We skipped that month.
After that skipped month, after O i eased up on the diet and started the diet again at AF.

Things that make me feel great about my sway: Very different diet as with my boys.
Was very relaxed the period of swaying as i was temporarily not working, and after the birth of my second i learnt to let things go (my ds2 learnt me that).
Lowest conception weight, lowest weight in ten years.
Was exhausted due to exercise (after the third day in a row i felt already super tired)
I felt really really hungry around O.
I O-ed in the evening and before that i managed to get my blood sugar low (really dizzy), as i only ate a light lunch and a small, low carb dinner.
Really declined fertility. With my boys i got pregnant after one attempt, now i had messed up cycles and spotting.
I discovered after O that i had my lunar ovulation (Jonas' method) the same time as my real ovulation.
Things that make me nervous about my sway: DH didn't change as much as i wanted him to do, but after all i think it's ok because he isn't very healthy (in my eyes he drinks to much, eats unhealthy and doesn't exercise at all). He also had HBP and medication for it.
I wasn't very strict during the 2WW, although i avoided meat and eggs and skipped breakfast.
Didn't loose as much weight as i wanted to.
Things worth mentioning: -
