Comments regarding DW's diet changes-

I never ever dieted before in my life. I just ate everything that I liked and snacked a lot and always had a normal BMI.
When I started the diet in June 2017, I cut out meat and fish first, then stopped snacking and installed MyFitnessPal App. I found it very interesting to learn a lot about nutrient content and food in general. I switched to coffee (drank black tea before) and took fiber before fatty meals. I had 3 meals during the week and mostly 2 meals during weekends. I could'nt skip breakfast but I delayed it and had 14 hours between the last meal and breakfast.
I always stayed in the limits (40-60 g fat and Protein, 1800 calories) with a few cheat days around christmas and special occasions. I had to increase my calorie intake to 2000 when I started cardio in october 2017.
I reduced dairy a lot because this is what I ate the most when I conceived my boys (LOVE dairy!). I still had a little chease here and there (on Pizza etc.) but did not drink large lattes anymore.
I started to like the diet after a few weeks because it felt great to eat only when beeing very hungry (never waited to eat until hungry before LOL).

If diet was used, length of time before attempt?

9 months

Did you skip breakfast regularly?

No

Did DH change his diet with you?

Yes

Comments regarding DH's diet-

He also cut out meat and fish and stopped drinking black tea. Swithed to coffee and used soy milk instead of cow milk. He took OLE (650 per day).

DId you try to limit caffeine?

No, I drink caffeine regularly

Any Diet Details?

When I started cardio daily, I had to increase calories without going over the limits. I increased calories with sweets, alcohol and homemade Rice Pudding (made with Rice milk).

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

Before I started the diet: 63 kg (MBI 23,4)
Conception weight: 53 kg (BMI 19,7)

Any Weight/Exercise related additional info/comments?

I lost the most weight in the beginning of my sway (between June and September 2017). I had not much weight to spare when I started intense cardio (elliptical) in october 2017 and had to increase my calorie intake from 1800 to 2000.

Any additional comments?

My doctor told my that it is rather unlikely that I will ovulate that month because of the cysts. Nevertheless I did OPK and had a positive OPK on CD 13. We spontaneously DTD (children had a sleepover at grandma). I did not expect to get PG that month and jumped and dumped after 5-10 minutes. I still can't believe that I got pregnant this way.

Did you use any Old Wives Tales?

Had a cute little girl's outfit and a wooden spoon with a pink ribbon under my bed.
Tried to visualize our family with our two boys and a sweet little girl.

Things that make me feel great about my sway:

I think I did the best I could with the diet. I was on the diet for 9 months and did intense cardio for 4 months. We had 1 attempt and I jumped and dumped after 5-10 minutes. Took clomid for three months.

Things that make me nervous about my sway:

Due to a bad overreaction from the clomid, a had to stop clomid. I got pregnant the month after my last clomid cycle and just hope that I still had clomid in my system.
I also had to stop the exercise for 3 weeks because of the large cysts that I developped while taking clomid. My doctor told my to increase my Protein intake and I ate more meat in the weeks before I got pregnant. Stopping clomid and stopping exercise and increasing Protein right before ovulation made my nervous.

Things worth mentioning:

Atomic was such a great help! She always answered my questions and dealed with my OCD tendencies in such a great way that I will always be deeply greatful!
I did the best I could with my sway and if this is our third boy, I will be in peace because then he is meant to be. Can't wait to add another beautiful soul to our family!
