    Did you skip breakfast regularly?: No
    Did DH change his diet with you?: Yes, because I cook
    Comments regarding DH's diet: He eats what I eat, so he got a HE diet too.

    What did you weigh/BMI do leading up to O?: High 140s, normal BMI.
    Any Weight/Exercise related additional info/comments?: I'm a distance runner, but had my last longer race in June to avoid training for a marathon or something during the summer when we'd be TTC.

    How many BD attempts did you make for the BFP cycle?: According to my chart, we BD 4 times the days leading up to & including O.
    BD Pattern: DTD through ovulation, mostly at night because of work schedules.
    BD Dates according to Ovulation: 4 days before O, 3 days before O, 2 days before O, Ovulation day, and then two days after O (not sure I was acutally fertile at that time though, so I didn't count it in the number of times we BD this cycle)
    BD Position: Multiple.
    Any additional comments?: Positive OPK 2 days before temperature rise.
    Any relevant attempt details?: None.
    Did you do anything with Ions?: No
    Moon Phase during conception?: I didn't pay attention to this, but waxing crescent (just googled it haha)
    Did you use any Old Wives Tales?: I did lay in bed for about 15-20 minutes after attempts, but I do that anyway for cuddle time after sex.

    Things that make me feel great about my sway: Conceiving in our first cycle, EWCM, Lifting weights
    Things that make me nervous about my sway: The fact that I was on birth control for 9 years before TTC (I did go off of it 7 months before our attempt), Could have been better with diet, The fact that I kept running
    Things worth mentioning: Nada.
