Im 173cm tall, and I ended up loosing 10kgs in the end. I got down to 56kgs (just too light for my height) and once I got back up to about 58/59kgs I fell pregnant! Hoping the months and months of intense LE diet still helped with my sway. But at the end of the day, I was never going to get pregnant at that weight. Atomic did say that if I was prepared to wait, my body would eventually start to O again at this low weight, but I wasnt prepared to wait!
So I certainly didnt throw it all in and eat crazy, I still skipped b/fast and remained vegetarian (now Im back eating meat for protein for my preg) but I increased my lunch and dinner meal sizes and relaxed about the whole thing (stopped obsessing over OPK's, I stopped doing these all together) basically, just tried to put it out of my mind, still used rephresh and aci jel DTD every other day, instead of FR leading up to O. Coz I had no idea when Id start O again, I didnt want to risk missing the egg and continue to put on unnecessary weight. My plan worked and I caught the egg at the first available moment. So will wait and see if the (looser) sway worked. I had to give up vitex and SP a month or so earlier as they were really messing with O aswell.
Basically, my body responded really sensitively to all my sway factors, I had no choice but to modify and pull back on things.

Basically you want to be your lightest weight when you conceive. So I have been about 65kgs for all my other pregnancies when I conceived, but this one has by far been my lighted weight at conception at 58kgs. 39kgs is TINY! and so it 55kgs for 170!
My oldest is starting kindy this yr!! I cant believe how quickly time flies!! I'll miss her and so will her younger brothers. They play so well (most of the time together) I had no MS with DS1 and bad MS but only for 3 wks with DS2. However I had MS with DD for about 7 weeks, but rarely vomited. Just felt terrible. This time, im alot worse, so will be interesting to see if its a boy or girl!
