    Comments regarding DW's diet changes-
    I have been strict and not so strict on this diet over the last 7 months.
    Since Jan I have been vegetarian apart from a few cheats of chicken. I started skipping breakfast which I always ate. I ate loads of cereal before I get pregnant with my DS. I strictly ate twice a day and most days had about 18 hours fast between my last meal and lunch the next day. I ate lower end of LE and sometimes was under at around 1200 cals. I ate a lot of empty white carbs.

    7 months, some strict some loosely

    Yes

    Yes
    Comments regarding DH's diet-
    Hubby started eating quorn with me at meal times but still ate meat otherwise. He drank peppermint tea anyway.
    DId you consume alcohol?
    • Often- daily


    DId you try to limit caffeine?
    No, I did not factor that into my sway
    Any Diet Details?
    I started strict in Oct 13. I lost 7lbs that month. I then followed it loosely over Nov/Dec and ended up gaining the 7lbs back over xmas. I was super strict from Jan and lost 14lbs very quickly then it slowed down. I had lost 15lbs then convinced myself I was pregnant from our Feb attempt and really pigged out in the 2ww. I then gained 5lbs and found out I wasn't pregnant and was very strict again. At OV I had lost 3 of the 5lbs I had gained.
    Any Diet Comments/Additional Info?

    At O I was 57.2 and 22.3 bmi
    Any Weight/Exercise related additional info/comments?
    I didn't exercise Oct - Dec. I then joined a gym and exercised like a mad woman in Jan 6 days a week. I did this for 3 weeks and then got a back injury and was signed off work for 3 weeks, I couldn't even walk. I decided then I sadly needed to go couch potato

    Any relevant attempt details?
    We had tried abstain and FR on previous months. We were going for FR with CFR before attempt. DH started well with FR but I O'd later than expected and he forgot so missed 2 days. He then released twice the day before attempt and also the morning of attempt then we dtd that evening of the 2nd release of the day. I had no big O. I had a lot of ewcm so took a antihistamine in the morning and 2 hours before attempt. I still felt like I had a lot though.
    SUPPLEMENTS USED
    DW Supplements
    • Chitosan
    • Baby asprin
    • folic acid
    • Antihistamine


    DH Supplements
    • Licorice Root
    • Cranberry


    Any additional supplement info?
    I had been using Vitex and SP on previous months but I was having very short cycles with a really short LP. I decided to drop them this cycle as were having fertility tests at the hospital.
    Did you do anything with Ions?
    I used a lavender body wash
    Moon Phase during conception?
    Waxing Gibbous
    Did you use any Old Wives Tales?
    No
    Things that make me feel great about my sway:
    I had lost weight and am at the 2nd lowest weight in my adult life.
    The fact we had one attempt and it was on the 2nd release of the day
    I had been vegetarian since Jan
    Things that make me nervous about my sway:
    Gaining the 5lbs in march and not managing to loose it all.
    No exercise as I really wanted to factor that in
    I just cannot imgine myself having a DD
    Things worth mentioning:
    We will be staying team green/yellow whichever you prefer and having a surprise!! Its going to be a long 9 months!!

    I want to also thank Atomic and everyone else who gave me advice xx

    I wonder if the yo-yo dieting/weight loss might help your sway? I think you have a great shot! Congrats!

    My Ovulation Chart
    currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP

    TTC #1 - swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!

    Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
    Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after removìng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic

    Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
    My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
    Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period
