3girl TTC a GIRL Sway Attempt
TTC a Girl Sway AttemptGender Result:boyDW Age:32DH Age:31Current Children's Gender(s)Boy-5Number of Months TTC
Boy-34Did you purchase and follow a GD Personalized Plan?YesDIET
Did you follow a diet plan?YesIf yes to diet, which one did you most follow?- LE(Low Everything)
Comments regarding DW's diet changes-Before I started LE, I was eating very boy friendly foods. I was drinking Shakeology daily, lots of almonds, quinoa, greek yogurt, peanut butter, Ezekiel bread, ect. Although I had already been a vegetarian for about a year before starting the diet, LE was a huge change for me! I started out SUPER strict at first and tracking everything, but I felt like I was being too "Martha" about it and relaxed on the sodium portion and focused more on low nutrient foods. By the end I was eating a lot of white carbs which is something I never did before.If diet was used, length of time before attempt?6 monthsDid you skip breakfast regularly?
The last couple months were focused more on low nutrient and not getting overly obsessive about keeping track of every little thing. I felt like that was going to hurt my sway more.YesDid DH change his diet with you?NoComments regarding DH's diet-DH limited meat the first couple months, but after that didn't want to anymore.DId you consume alcohol?- A couple of drinks per week
DId you try to limit caffeine?No, I drink caffeine regularlyAny Diet Details?For awhile skipping breakfast and not snacking was easy, but it got harder as time went on. I was very consistent on not having breakfast, but snacking was a little harder towards the end.Any Diet Comments/Additional Info?-WEIGHT AND EXERCISE
What did you weigh/BMI do leading up to O?113--BMI--22.1Any Weight/Exercise related additional info/comments?I went from doing 30 min. 6 days a week of exercise which involved weights to doing 60 min of cardio 4-6 times a week (for 6 months). That was a big change for me. I feel like I lost a lot of muscle mass.THINGS in VG and CONCEPTION DATE(CD) INFO
pH Before Starting a Sway Program, if knownn/aAny VG potions used?- NO
CM pH at attemptn/aDH pHn/aHow many BD attempts did you make for the BFP cycle?1BD Dates according to Ovulation- 1 Day Before O
Any additional comments?DH's morphology is on the low end and I wasn't getting pregnant, so I used a little bit of preseed.THE DEED INFO
I was being followed by an RE due to my luteal phase defect. I took 5mg of Femara this cycle because clomid dried me up so much to the point there was no way the sperm were going to survive.
DH went in the hot tub the night of our attempt for about 10 min.
DH Info about Swimmers- BD every few days
BD PositionMissionaryDid you Jump and Dump?- No
Any relevant attempt details?-SUPPLEMENTS USED
DW Supplements- Vitex
- Clomid
- Baby asprin
- folic acid
- Fiber
- Antihistamine
- Saw Palmetto
DH Supplements-Any additional supplement info?I started off with a kitchen sink sway taking vitex, baby aspirin, fiber, antihistamine, and saw palmetto.Did you do anything with Ions?
On my third cycle of TTC I dropped vitex, saw palmetto, and aspirin (after seeing it wasn't safe) to try clomid. Clomid didn't work for me.
The fourth month I took 5mg of Femara and stuck with the Fiber and folic. I went through about 3 huge Costco things of Fiber capsules in the past 6 months on the diet!I had some lavender bath wash but didn't think much of it.Moon Phase during conception?-Did you use any Old Wives Tales?No. I wanted to but a little girl's outfit, but DH said it would jinx it.Things that make me feel great about my sway:Being on the diet for so long and exercising. Knowing my fertility was decreased since it took so much longer to get pregnant than it did previously with my boys. Sticking with low nutrient foods for so long. DH having low morphology so his fertility was decreased too. I was also at my lowest conception weight and about 17 pounds lighter than the last time I conceived. Not taking any fertility increasing supplements like I did with my boys.Things that make me nervous about my sway:Having to use preseed. Also, even though I was sticking to low nutrient foods towards the end, I was not tracking so I could have been going over my limits.Things worth mentioning:I am just so excited to be adding to our family! I will still be beyond thrilled with another boy if that's what's meant to be!! =)

July 2016: Laproscopic surgery to remove a ping pong ball sized endometrioma on left ovary and 3 pea size fibroids on outside of uterus. Hysteroscopy to remove one larger "penetrating fibroid" inside uterus.
Oct 2016: Heartbroken after DH's vasectomy. Looks like my dreams of a daughter are gone.

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)
