    30
    Current Children's Gender(s)
    N/A – this is our first
    Number of Months TTC
    11
    Did you purchase and follow a GD Personalized Plan?
    No

    MINERALS
    Calcium Intake (Please describe)
    Eggs, yogurt and cheese throughout sway
    Magnesium Intake (Please describe)
    Only through multivitamin & diet.
    Potassium Intake (Please describe)
    Diet & bananas every day
    Sodium Intake (Please describe)
    Added extra salt to a few meals every so often

    SUPPLEMENTS USED
    DW Supplements
    • Prenatals
    • Robitussin/Guafanesin tablets
    • Vitamin D 1000ui

    DH Supplements
    • Fish Oil
    • Multi-vitamin

    Any additional supplement info?
    I’d been on my prenatals for the past 11 months, vitamin D for 9 months and guafanesin 7 days prior to O. DH has been on fish oil and mult-vitamins for over a year.

    DIET
    Did you follow a diet plan?
    Yes
    If yes to diet, which one did you most follow?
    • HE(High Everything)

    Comments regarding DW's diet changes-
    I began to add a lot more snacks and protein. I would always try to eat a meat, veggie and potato at dinner, almonds for snacks, bananas, warm lemon water, etc. I ate a lot more burgers throughout the summer, and some pork as well.
    If diet was used, length of time before attempt?
    HE diet for the better part of 9 months
    Did you skip breakfast regularly?
    No
    Did DH change his diet with you?
    No
    Comments regarding DH's diet-
    DH is a really good/high protein diet anyway. He eats peanut butter/whole wheat toast or oatmeal every breakfast, snacks on apples/bananas and almonds, chicken, broccoli and brown rice for lunch and then pork, potatoes and a salad every night for dinner. He also drinks protein shakes 3x a week.
    Did you consume alcohol?
    No – I cut out alcohol by a lot the past three months
    Did you try to limit caffeine?
    Yes – I don’t drink coffee and when I rarely have a pop it’s diet
    Any Diet Details?
    I feel like my diet slacked a lot with my frustrations with TTC and starting my job up again. DH was gone for 4 days prior to O and basically lived on beer and pizza. So I don’t feel great about the diet, but I know that months (and in his case, years) of eating high protein should outweigh our few cheats.
    Any Diet Comments/Additional Info?

    WEIGHT AND EXERCISE
    What did you weigh/BMI do leading up to O?
    At BFP I weighed 115lbs (BMI of 19.7). I had lost 10lbs after ending BC in October 2014, and put back on 5lbs.
    Any Weight/Exercise related additional info/comments?
    I worked out 3x a week, trying to do 10 minutes of walking, 10 minutes of heavier cardio and at least 20 minutes of weights. Focused on my legs more. DH works out religiously lifting weights 3x a week and does cardio 3x a week.

    THINGS in VG and CONCEPTION DATE(CD) INFO
    pH Before Starting a Sway Program, if known
    -
    Any VG potions used?

    THE DEED INFO

    BD Dates according to Ovulation

    BD Position
    Doggy
    Any additional comments?
    We used pre-seed, robitussin & opk's this cycle both attempts
    Any relevant attempt details?
    I am least happy about my basically one attempt in fertile window, but not worrying too much about it
    Did you do anything with Ions?
    -
    Moon Phase during conception?
    Full Moon
    Did you use any Old Wives Tales?
    -
    Things that make me feel great about my sway:
    Length of time on supplements and diet. DH is very muscular and has great dietary habits as well.
    Things that make me nervous about my sway:
    One attempt and my lack of working out leading up to this cycle
    Things worth mentioning:
    I feel that after 11 months, I am just happy to have a BFP! Thank you so much to all of you who helped me and cheered me on – I would have given up long before this without you guys. At this point in time I’m content with a boy or a girl, although still secretly hoping one fast XY made it there first.
