Hi Pbn!! And congratulations to you!!!

You guys! I called Natera directly to see if I could check the progress of my Panorama test (because I'm that impatient) and they said that they sent it to my office yesterday!!! So I called and they have the results waiting for me in an envelope. It took every ounce of will power not to have them tell me the gender over the phone. All of the risk factors came back low and I'm so thankful for that. I'm going to drop off the info to a friend tomorrow and she's going to plan a simple reveal for my husband, boys and I tomorrow night. I'm so excited and sooo nervous about the finality of it all! I'll keep you posted!

[Pbn3]

Omg lbb3!!! (Hope it's ok to shorten your username ) that is beyond exciting!!!!! Cant believe you'll know gender by tomorrow!! I'm assuming you swayed? If so, did you fill out a sway form so I can have a sneak peek?! Fx so hard you hear pink! What a lovely idea for a family reveal - love it!!

Please abbreviate, Pbn! It's a long name! I did sway! Let me see if I can figure out how to link it to this page. I'm seriously so excited and nervous I could hardly sleep last night! It's like waiting for Christmas
Thank you so much ladies for the happy, pink vibes! Fully prepared to hear blue again, but holding out hope for baby girl

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-

This was a huge deviation from the type of food and frequency of eating that is typical for me. I gave up all meat, stuck to most of the limits by creating meals based off of the meal plans and modifying as needed. At first the weight was coming off too quickly, so I ended up having to add calories to my meals to maintain my weight. I usually had a strong cup of coffee in the morning with a splash of creamer and then pushed off breakfast until 10 or 11am, with a total of 3 meals and no snacking. I had alcohol (a couple glasses of wine or a beer or two) just about every night. I had cheat days here and there, but nothing too extreme and stuck to no meat, with the exception of a fish meal we had at a function for my husband.

If diet was used, length of time before attempt?

12 weeks

Did you skip breakfast regularly?

Comments regarding DH's diet-

He considerably reduced his red meat consumption and only ate it on rare occasions during the 12 weeks

WEIGHT AND EXERCISE
What did you weigh/BMI do leading up to O?

It decreased from a starting point of 19.5 to 18, so I was slightly underweight at O. I lost a total of 10 pounds, which is 10 lbs less than my preconception weight with each of my boys.

Any Weight/Exercise related additional info/comments?

I started off doing cardio 6x a week, then hurt my foot around week 8 and ended up taking 3 weeks off. I picked up an exercise routine again a week and a half before our attempt wih a mix of cardio and HIIT classes with more strength training.

THINGS in VG and CONCEPTION DATE(CD) INFO
pH Before Starting a Sway Program, if known

How many BD attempts did you make for the BFP cycle?

1

BD Dates according to Ovulation

• 1 Day Before O

Any additional comments?

We had our attempt a few hours after positive OPK, so I'm guessing it was about a day before O.

THE DEED INFO
DH Info about Swimmers

• Abstained

BD Position

Multiple

Did you Jump and Dump?

• No

Any relevant attempt details?

We ended up having too long of an abstain (over 12 days) as we got closer to our attempt, so DH released once a few days prior to our attempt. So we ended up having a 3-4 days abstain instead of 7, as we had planned. After our attempt I layed wih my hip propped slightly for 5 min, then jump and dump...so I guess it was a delayed jump and dump? Idk

SUPPLEMENTS USED
DW Supplements

• folic acid
• Fiber

Any additional supplement info?

Did you do anything with Ions?

-

Moon Phase during conception?

Waxing Gibbous

Did you use any Old Wives Tales?

None

Things that make me feel great about my sway:

The fact that I was on the diet for a decent amount of time. My body looked more lean and much less muscular, so there were definite physical changes.

Things that make me nervous about my sway:

The fact that my exercise was not as consistent as I would have liked. Even when I was doing the cardio, it was not incredibly intense. Also, the fact that I added back a more "boy friendly" exercise routine before our attempt. It makes me slightly nervous that we conceived on our first attempt as well, since we did the same with our other children.

Things worth mentioning:

Overall, I did a very bare bones sway. I felt like I tackled the things I was confident I could stick with and cut out a lot of more drastic sway tactics because I knew that if they delayed conception for too long, the diet and exercise portion would be hard for me to maintain. Hoping it was enough to at least give the X swimmers a fair shot Fingers crossed!!

Here you go!
