Comments regarding DW's diet changes-

I was at my heaviest weight due to being 7 months postpartum. I lost a pound a week on the pcos diet, the original Le diet didn't suit me and I couldn't lose weight on it. I skipped breakfast for up to 16 hours from dinner the day before. Then had a fruit smoothie with full fat yoghurt, coconut water and cinnamon, plus two further meals, I ate them until I was full. I cut out; red meat apart from occasionally, cereal, drinking tea, fruit juice and milk. I swapped sugar for xylitol. Ate 3 meals a day and no snacks. I had full fat dairy and 4 eggs a week.

If diet was used, length of time before attempt?

5 months.

Full Moon

Did you use any Old Wives Tales?

A wish, kept under the bed with some girly bits

Things that make me feel great about my sway:

We were more relaxed. Dietary changes. Less BD than in previous conception of a little boy

Things that make me nervous about my sway:

My weight was heaviest conception weight. I'd had 3 boys before

Things worth mentioning:

I learned about swaying and then left it alone, just relaxed which I think helped. Neither of us took on any new projects. 3 cycles before we had an early loss at 5 weeks.

Am I reading this right - you were only 7 months postpartum when you conceived? You're a brave woman! Wishing you a happy healthy pregnancy and birth!

Yes! I was indeed. I'm going to be very busy! I think it will be lovely to bring them up together, once they are a bit bigger hopefully it will get easier.
