Comments regarding DW's diet changes-
I began to add a lot more snacks and protein. I would always try to eat a meat, veggie and potato at dinner, almonds for snacks, bananas, warm lemon water, etc. I ate a lot more burgers throughout the summer, and some pork as well.
If diet was used, length of time before attempt?
HE diet for the better part of 9 months

No
Did DH change his diet with you?
No
Comments regarding DH's diet-
DH is a really good/high protein diet anyway. He eats peanut butter/whole wheat toast or oatmeal every breakfast, snacks on apples/bananas and almonds, chicken, broccoli and brown rice for lunch and then pork, potatoes and a salad every night for dinner. He also drinks protein shakes 3x a week.
Did you consume alcohol?
No I cut out alcohol by a lot the past three months
Did you try to limit caffeine?
Yes I dont drink coffee and when I rarely have a pop its diet
Any Diet Details?
I feel like my diet slacked a lot with my frustrations with TTC and starting my job up again. DH was gone for 4 days prior to O and basically lived on beer and pizza. So I dont feel great about the diet, but I know that months (and in his case, years) of eating high protein should outweigh our few cheats.

One attempt and my lack of working out leading up to this cycle
Things worth mentioning:
I feel that after 11 months, I am just happy to have a BFP! Thank you so much to all of you who helped me and cheered me on I would have given up long before this without you guys. At this point in time Im content with a boy or a girl, although still secretly hoping one fast XY made it there first. :)
