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.

DId you try to limit caffeine?No, I drink caffeine regularlyAny 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

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 PositionMissionaryDid 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?NoMoon Phase during conception?Waning GibbousDid you use any Old Wives Tales?NoThings 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:-Last edited by Beccal1; July 22nd, 2014 at 11:00 PM.

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 .
