Comments regarding DW's diet changes- I'm such a boy friendly eater Have always eaten low carb, high protein so this diet has been a massive change for me. Really enjoyed eating white bread again though! Ate at 1.00pm, 6/7pm and then had a small meal like meringues and yoghurt or poptarts at 10pm. Never snacked.
If diet was used, length of time before attempt? 4 months. I started the diet in January quite loosely, then very strict for February and March and then loosened it up a good bit in April.

Any Diet Details? I didn't eat red meat for four months Yay! I stayed vegetarian apart from 3 or 4 times that I ate chicken and turkey (Easter and birthdays!) Always stayed under 1200 cals daily for first few months but in last month felt I wasn't ovulating so increased cals to 1500. Always kept protein low but fats were definitely a lot of days. Had a lot of cheat meals in last month (3 takeouts) but I think they all helped me to get my bfp so very happy I ate them!

Things that make me feel great about my sway: The length of time on the diet, staying vegetarian and amount of weight loss.
Things that make me nervous about my sway: Loosening up diet and stopping all supps during last month. No exercise, no j & d, no hot showers before attempts.
Things worth mentioning: As I mentioned I never got a positive opk all cycle so was convinced my ovulation was gone therefore did not do most of the things that I had planned for my attempt. But I'm so happy to be pregnant and if I hear boy at the ultrasound I will be equally thrilled. I really really just want a healthy baby.
