Any Diet Details? At first I was quite strict with the diet only getting 10000-11000 cals but the weight flew off me and I didn't have much to spare. I increased my cals to 1500-1700 then reduced them again a few weeks before our attempt.
Any Diet Comments/Additional Info? I wrote out a 2 week meal plan so I knew how much cals, fat and protein I was getting and stuck to it.

Things that make me feel great about my sway: That I stuck to the diet and exercise. I was 10kg lighter than when I conceived DS1 and 7kg lighter than I conceived DS2. Suppliments changed my cycle.
Things that make me nervous about my sway: That I've had 3 boys. That DH and myself are very fertile. We managed to get pregnant first attempt even with such a strict sway. Oh and I'm a big stress head.
Things worth mentioning: DH was hospitalized 5 days before attempt with a mystery virus where he had extremely high temps. Hopefully the high temps killed off those extra swimmers.
I can't imagine myself with a daughter but also can't imagine having 3 sons. I really hope it's a girl but trying to convince myself it's another boy. It's so hard not to dream of a baby girl.
