DIET
Did you follow a diet plan?

Yes

If yes to diet, which one did you most follow?

• LE(Low Everything)

Comments regarding DW's diet changes-

PCOS LE
I didn't exactly skip breakfast but I did work up to delaying it about 2hrs to my normal.
I typically ate 4 meals a day around 400cals each plus drinks, and a tiny snack at bedtime if I was starving.

If diet was used, length of time before attempt?

28 weeks

Did you skip breakfast regularly?

No

Did DH change his diet with you?

No

Comments regarding DH's diet-

He didn't take supplements. He did choose beer over spirits more but drank quite a long in general! I think his meat intake dropped a bit because of my diet. He had had knee surgery when we concieved and had been on alot of painkillers. Due to his injury he hadn't been playing football which had led to some increased bodyfat.

DId you consume alcohol?

• No

DId you try to limit caffeine?

No, I drink caffeine regularly

Any Diet Details?

Gluten free
Tried to get carbs from fuits, vegies and pulses but due to large amounts of cardio I had to eat grains to keep my cals up or I lost too much weight/was starving and dizzy.
I wanted to give up dairy like with my dd but in the end kept it in.
I increased my coffee intake from my usual but added in decaf so my actual caffeine intake was about the same.

Any Diet Comments/Additional Info?

I usually take alot of supplements and had to wean off and readjust to not taking them which was challenging but also rewarding in the end.
I was on metformin 500 2x day. Inositol 500 1x day.

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

19.5

Any Weight/Exercise related additional info/comments?

Did cardio on a stationary bike on average 5 days a week. Sometimes only 40mins if that's all I could fit in. Probably 4x a week was 60mins.

I took letrozole for the 3 cycles ttc. The first two starting day 3. The successful cycle starting day 5. My O day was far earlier on the successful cycle.
We had not been releasing for DH every few days as previously due to his surgery. We did have him release 2 days before our attempt though.

Lavender oil on wrists or on oil warmer most nights.

Did you use any Old Wives Tales?

Pink prayer cloth under my side of the bed.
Painted nails pink in the 6 weeks before.

Things that make me feel great about my sway:

This sway had the most exercise and the least supplements of all my sways. We got preg on one attempt with no O for DW.

Things that make me nervous about my sway:

The cycle before I fell off the wagon a bit with my diet after ovulation and binged a bit on protein and fat.
The week before ovulation being on probiotics.

Things worth mentioning:

3 cycles is the longest its taking me to fall preg with my dh.
I basically used the plan I had with my DD but did get coaching again.

[LindaLaetitia]

Congrats 🫶 did you find out ? Baby must be already here.

Would be great to update 🫶

[LMSM]

Kiwi, would love to hear from you !!!
Hope all is well - we had #5 (1st boy!) 9 months ago and was curious what made you change your stance on another…I secretly would love another boy but too many ifs to risk another pregnancy (could be a girl again, increased issues top due to now being 40, the last pregnancy was really rough etc)
Atomic, do you have any news from Kiwi??
Xx

Hi LMSM!!
I am glad to see news of you and your sweet family (hijacking a thread lol sorry OP).
We are in the same boat as you - our 4th is 10 months old now. I am 37 and hubby is 40. Pondering one last one (the ifs are there..) or just leaving well enough alone. So hard to decide. I'd give you all my blue dust in a heartbeat if I could!
