    A lot! lol! I was at my heaviest adult, non-pregnant weight when I conceived. I'd just come off of three back-to-back pregnancies (where I gained weight) that ended in losses and an injury that had be in a cast for months, so I was about 30 lbs heavier than normal.
    Any Weight/Exercise related additional info/comments?
    Total couch potato. As in, with my cast, I was actually just sitting on a couch for months. I'd Just started to be able to walk short distances (i.e. to the refrigerator. ha!) when we TTCed.

    Not a lot. Lavender lotions and trying to get as much fresh air in as possible.
    Moon Phase during conception?
    New Moon
    Did you use any Old Wives Tales?
    -
    Things that make me feel great about my sway:
    Femera and 1 attempt. Being in crap physical condition.
    Things that make me nervous about my sway:
    Did not do the diet and was no way a skinny minnie by any means. Stress level from work was super high! Probably the most stressed out I've ever been.
    Things worth mentioning:
    Almost 2 years ago I did buy the custom sway plan, and it was great! I did almost everything on it at the time, and atomic was then and has been a great hand-holder through the process
    We swayed after a few months on the diet and supplements. After a few months trying, got a BFP. That pregnancy ended in a loss at 7 weeks. We TTCed again the next cycle, got a BFP which quickly ended in a chemical. TTC again the next cycle and got a BFP. That pregnancy ended in a loss at 11 weeks. At that point I was exhausted physically and emotionally, so we took a few months off to just get healthy and ready to TTC again in a new, calm space. We were just about ready when I injured my foot, resulting in a cast for months and lot of therapy and rehab—all of which put TTC on the back burner while waiting to see if it would heal or I'd need surgery. It was almost exactly a year after my last loss that we finally TTCed again. I did not want to diet or do many sway techniques as at 39 I felt getting pregnant quickly with a healthy baby as the most important thing to me. We fell pregnant the first month—a miracle! Even more miraculous—it's a girl! Praying for stickiness now...
