Just incase it helps someone...

Ok...a little bit about me...

With my first daughter I was VERY thin, in the underweight BMI range. I gained weight steadily with the last 4...but regularly dieting and losing weight, just to put it back on again. I have always eaten low-fat milk, diet coke/pepsi max, low-fat everything really, high carbs, high sugar, low to non-existent protein. I hate eggs, cheese, not too fond of meat. Hate salad, love veggies/fruit but didn't always eat a lot, mainly carbs. Cereal, toast, pasta. This diet resulted in me being very overweight (obese BMI) for my last 2 children. I have never added salt to anything in my life!! I am sweet person...not savoury!

I want to add that I would in no way class myself as having low fertility at all. I have fallen pregnant 11 times on the FIRST attempt (no joke). I have lost 6 pregnancies, but fall pregnant VERY easily. So my girlie family is not due to poor fertility.

I have also done timing to perfection and still got the girl...moon phases etc... all point boy....Gotta be the diet doesn't it???

I just wanted to also add that I went on a high protein, very low carb, no sugar, high veg/fruit, no processed food diet last year and lost 60kg...my diet is still 3 meals protein a day, low carbs, high fruit and veg, etc... I am trying hard to cut diet coke from my diet forever in the next month or two as well....God knows what we will end up with this time???

This is very helpful, thanks for posting!

Thank you!! This is reassuring, especially the diet. Gl to you!!!

I answered this more indepth on your other thread with a personal note that I hope you do see, but I wanted to thank you again for sharing.

To explain for others who didn't see the other thread, when I talk about lower or declining fertility, I am suggesting that there is a kind of continuum where you can still conceive easily, but that your overall fertility is LESS than a superfertile person. You might have drier, more acidic, or scanty CM, you might have lower levels of sex hormones overall, and so on but you can still conceive - just htat you're more likely to conceive a girl in that instance.
