    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-
    I tried to follow the diet as closely as possibl (PCOS style), but I did NOT follow the sodium guidelines, and probably ate way more salt than I shoud have. I did skip breakfast every morning, avoid meat, and follow the fat/protein/calorie guidelines daily. I had to large cups of coffee daily, and incorporated about 30 oz. of Crystal Lite into my diet daily.
    If diet was used, length of time before attempt?
    9.5 weeks
    Did you skip breakfast regularly?
    Yes
    Did DH change his diet with you?
    No
    Comments regarding DH's diet-
    DH didn't change a thing about his diet except for he drank at least 12 oz. of soy milk daily.
    DId you consume alcohol?
    • No


    DId you try to limit caffeine?
    No, I drink caffeine regularly
    Any Diet Details?
    I ate lots of potatoes, pasta, and vegetarian soups. I also consumed a lot of salds and steamed veggies. I ate a lot of butter spray (in lieu of butter). I did have cheat nights occasionally (maybe 3 - 4 times total), and I did completely pig out during these :\ although I tried to make up for it by skimping on calories the days before and after. I did indulge in treats at night as long as they fit into my daily calories/protein/fat alotment. Desserts: Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches, Big Hunk candy bar, Brown Cow cream top yogurts, (my favorite!) sugar-free Jello dulce-de-leche pudding snacks (soo good and only 60 cals!).
    Any Diet Comments/Additional Info?
    -
    WEIGHT AND EXERCISE
    What did you weigh/BMI do leading up to O?
    153 lbs / 121.9 BMI
    Any Weight/Exercise related additional info/comments?
    I lost 20 lbs total. I ran vigorously doing interval-type training 4x a week for an hour at a time.
    THINGS in VG and CONCEPTION DATE(CD) INFO
    pH Before Starting a Sway Program, if known
    I didn't test my pH
    Any VG potions used?
    • NO


    CM pH at attempt
    N/A
    DH pH
    N/A
    How many BD attempts did you make for the BFP cycle?
    1
    BD Dates according to Ovulation
    • 1 Day Before O


    Any additional comments?
    The cycle we conceived, my ovulation was extremely delayed. I usually O between day 13 - 17 or so, and this cycle, I didn't O until CD 28! I almost gave up using OPKs after seeing about 12 negatives.
    THE DEED INFO
    DH Info about Swimmers
    • Other


    BD Position
    Missionary
    Did you Jump and Dump?
    • Yes


    Any relevant attempt details?
    We did Frequent Release for 14 days in a row (expected to O much sooner than I did), then I went out of town, so DH went one night without releasing. I think he released a few nights before our attempt, as well, but not every night.
    SUPPLEMENTS USED
    DW Supplements
    • folic acid


    DH Supplements
    • Licorice Root
    • Cranberry


    Any additional supplement info?
    I also took cranberry daily. I used to be an avid vitamin taker, but stopped all vitamins (multi, fish oil, vitamin D) about a month before starting the diet. I also took iodine supplements.
    Did you do anything with Ions?
    No
    Moon Phase during conception?
    Waning Gibbous
    Did you use any Old Wives Tales?
    No
    Things that make me feel great about my sway:
    How much weight I lost (reached both lowest adult and conception weight), and also that the cycle we conceived was so delayed, which has never happened to me before. Also I had pretty much no CM to speak of this cycle.
    Things that make me nervous about my sway:
    We conceived on vacation, and I was not following the diet or exercise for about 5 days prior to O :\. I fully expected to O before vacation, but that didn't happen. On the day of my positive OPK, DH and I literally discussed whether or not we should try due to me not following the diet for a few days beforehand. We decided to go for it based on the things mentioned above (i.e. Things that make me feel great about my sway).
    Things worth mentioning:

    Not sure what happened, but that should also say I have twin boys, age 3. If I only had one boy, I most likely wouldn't have swayed !

    Thanks, Ladies :-)!! Also, wanted to add that I did look at the Chinese Gender Calendar and it does say "girl" for March. I wanted to incorporate that into my sway just in case there was anything to it .
