2 or 3 meals, if you have to go to 4 to survive that is ok. Don't snack all day long or eat more than 4 times a day. 3 meals is perfectly fine though
Anything with cals (more than a few) need to be with a meal. Anything super low or no cals can be inbetween.
6 weeks before TTC is best. 4 is ok, 2 weeks is better than nothing. A day or two does nothing.
Yes alcohol sways for both. WE honestly do not know how much really works or how far in advance.
Yes, I agree that smoking ~may~ be one thing that helped although we had a lot of other stuff working in our favor and he was not a daily smoker. E-cigs may or may not help, we honestly don't know.
IG is simply incorrect on the alcohol and we have the stats to show it. At some point they should really start looking at our results instead of going off the old outdated stuff but I won't hold my breath LOL. THey never had any proof or evidence that alcohol swayed blue, it was based on some study that showed estrogen went up after drinking but we don't even know that estrogen sways blue anyway. I would say considering our results alcohol does not sway blue not even a little bit. :)
