DIET
Did you follow a diet plan? Yes
If yes to diet, which one did you most follow?
Comments regarding DW's diet changes- I ate LE about 80% of the time. Ate lots of rice and grilled cheese sandwiches. Threw in some veggies and pasta when I got bored with that. I also ate lots of sweet junk like Twinkies and other empty calories. Always skipped breakfast and snacking.
If diet was used, length of time before attempt? I was stricter on the diet for the 4 months leading up to BFP. I originally started about 8 months before but lost some steam when my ovulation took longer than expected to return due to breastfeeding.
Did you skip breakfast regularly? Yes
Did DH change his diet with you? No
Comments regarding DH's diet- Did not change anything other than eating less meat because of what I was cooking.
DId you consume alcohol?
DId you try to limit caffeine? No, I drink caffeine regularly
Any Diet Details? My best friend got married in August and I had a few cheats during events related to the wedding. I was also breastfeeding so I would eat the upper limits of the diet and didn't stress if I ate meat or went over my totals every now and then.

Things that make me feel great about my sway: LE Diet, the fact that I was still breastfeeding my son, one attempt, I had lost alot of post partum weight and was continuing to lose on the LE diet.
Things that make me nervous about my sway: Not being strict enough on diet, not sticking with exercising. I was also under alot of stress. My best friend was getting married and was pregnant, so in the span of a few months I planned a wedding shower, bachelorette party, gender reveal party, and baby shower. I thought for sure all of those "new projects" would drive up my testosterone!
Things worth mentioning: After waiting 6 months for my ovulation to return and then TTC for 3 cycles with no BFP, I was just ready to be pregnant. I knew I would regret not trying to sway at all, so I did what I could manage. I am beyond thrilled that it has resulted in a girl!!!
