DIET

Comments regarding DW's diet changes- Because our meals are majority Indian, I chose to control the portions rather than change what I eat coz that would've been stressful and impossible.
If diet was used, length of time before attempt? Since January, with tons of cheats
Did you skip breakfast regularly? Yes
Did DH change his diet with you? No
Comments regarding DH's diet- We've both been vegetarians and he's always had 3 proper meals with no snacking so no changes
DId you consume alcohol?

Any Diet Details? I've always been a vegetarian but a huge breakfast lover and a grazer so those 2 things I believe have always worked against me.
With TTC though, I completely changed my eating patterns but food remained the same more or less. Portions were a lot smaller & ate 2 meals with 1 small snack
