No, I drink caffeine regularly

Any Diet Details?

I mainly ate bread, rice, pasta, salad and veg. I had the occasional cheat where I would have some meat but was mostly quite strict. I did not factor the sodium restriction into my sway and in fact I was consuming much more than I ever have before.

Any Diet Comments/Additional Info?

I would only have 2 meals a day, one usually at half 11-12pm then my 2nd meal at 7.30-8pm so I went long periods each day without any food/drink. I waited until I was hungry to eat. Which was actually easily done with 4 kids to look after ha ha.

WEIGHT AND EXERCISE
What did you weigh/BMI do leading up to O?

10st 4lb BMI 23.6

Any Weight/Exercise related additional info/comments?

I lost a pound the week of our successful attempt, I lost 26lb during my time on the diet and was at my lowest adult and conception weight. I could not commit to doing the exercise so I went down the couch potato route. I had been losing a lb a week consistently the few weeks leading up to O.

Things that make me feel great about my sway:

The one attempt, the length of time I had on the diet, the fact my dh smokes, my weight loss. Also having 2 alcoholic drinks the evening of our attempt.

Things that make me nervous about my sway:

Not doing exercise (although I didn't do any when I got my dd), the cheat days I had.

Things worth mentioning:

My dh is in a stressful job where he is either driving or sitting behind a desk so I hope that helped nuke a few swimmers :-) My cycles were getting shorter and shorter each month leading up to my bfp which I hope means I was in a good place for ttc a girl. My cm was completely different to when I conceived my boys, was lotion like so I hope that is a good sign but I am fully expecting it to be a boy and if it is I will love him just the same as the others.
