DIET
Did you follow a diet plan? Yes

Comments regarding DW's diet changes- I already am vegetarian for more than 13 years and feel like I always ate more LE style. Because of this I thought it would be best to do the PCOS version.
All in all I would say I did eat less fat and protein than before. I ate a lot less sugar than before (huge change). I had 2 meals (almost always) and had always a fasting period of about 12-16 hours. Still breastfeeding, that's why I was more in the upper limits.
If diet was used, length of time before attempt? 12+ weeks, I made the most changes gradually, started around six months before.
Did you skip breakfast regularly? Yes
Did DH change his diet with you? Yes
Comments regarding DH's diet- He ate less meat, he's normally a big meat-eater and really tried. He ate more soy food, don't know if this has an impact and he took OLE almost every day.

Things that make me feel great about my sway: I changed a lot. Diet was going great and even exercise was going quite good. I was pretty relaxed (maybe thanks to the wine). I had the feeling I got less control freaky without even trying, I really felt at peace. I did not take the prenatal which I always did before ttc! And on purpose did not try to be extra healthy. That's the only child conceived while still breastfeeding!
Things that make me nervous about my sway: We got pregnant the first month trying, that's the only thing that makes me a little nervous since I always think that means great fertility. Well and maybe that DH still had some meat.
Things worth mentioning: I did not think we would get pregnant this fast, since I did all the "bad" things for fertility. And our attempt was standing up and I did not even think any semen made it all the way up.
But that just means to me that this was meant to be and if that's our third little boy he will be so loved and welcome. I'm happy I learned here a lot. And I feel like now i will never ask myself "what if". I'm happy I got pregnant and I'm looking forward to our new addition. ❤
