DIET
Did you follow a diet plan? Yes
If yes to diet, which one did you most follow?
Comments regarding DW's diet changes- Did LE to a certain extent. I did not watch sodium but went primarily vegetarian (with occasional chicken or fish), kept calories within range, fat I didn't track well, protein within range although possibly too low.
If diet was used, length of time before attempt? 16 weeks
Did you skip breakfast regularly? Yes
Did DH change his diet with you? No
Comments regarding DH's diet- He did not change diet but I stopped cooking meat so his dinners were mainly veg. He skips breakfast anyway but that probably has no effect.
DId you consume alcohol?- A couple of drinks per week
DId you try to limit caffeine? No, I drink caffeine regularly
Any Diet Details? By the end I actually was getting random nerve pains all over my body either due to an electrolyte imbalance or more probable, decrease of protein. The 2 weeks before our attempt I added in more protein and the pains stopped.

Things that make me feel great about my sway: I exercised more than I ever have and truly believe there is a link. I was also completely expecting it to take a few months to get pregnant so I was very relaxed.
Things that make me nervous about my sway: I wasn't super strict with my diet
Things worth mentioning: Whether or not the sway worked (which I feel like maybe it didn't), I was in much better shape than I've been almost ever even though my diet was not what most would consider healthy (too many carbs and too little protein), I felt great.
