Ok...a little bit about me...

With my first daughter I was VERY thin, in the underweight BMI range. I gained weight steadily with the last 4...but regularly dieting and losing weight, just to put it back on again. I have always eaten low-fat milk, diet coke/pepsi max, low-fat everything really, high carbs, high sugar, low to non-existent protein. I hate eggs, cheese, not too fond of meat. Hate salad, love veggies/fruit but didn't always eat a lot, mainly carbs. Cereal, toast, pasta. This diet resulted in me being very overweight (obese BMI) for my last 2 children. I have never added salt to anything in my life!! I am sweet person...not savoury!

I want to add that I would in no way class myself as having low fertility at all. I have fallen pregnant 11 times on the FIRST attempt (no joke). I have lost 6 pregnancies, but fall pregnant VERY easily. So my girlie family is not due to poor fertility.

I have also done timing to perfection and still got the girl...moon phases etc... all point boy....Gotta be the diet doesn't it???

I just wanted to also add that I went on a high protein, very low carb, no sugar, high veg/fruit, no processed food diet last year and lost 60kg...my diet is still 3 meals protein a day, low carbs, high fruit and veg, etc... I am trying hard to cut diet coke from my diet forever in the next month or two as well....God knows what we will end up with this time???

I answered this more indepth on your other thread with a personal note that I hope you do see, but I wanted to thank you again for sharing.

To explain for others who didn't see the other thread, when I talk about lower or declining fertility, I am suggesting that there is a kind of continuum where you can still conceive easily, but that your overall fertility is LESS than a superfertile person. You might have drier, more acidic, or scanty CM, you might have lower levels of sex hormones overall, and so on but you can still conceive - just htat you're more likely to conceive a girl in that instance.
