Comments regarding DW's diet changes- I started my sway plan aug 1st. I'm a vegetarian and I don't eat eggs so I worked hard to make sure I had enough protein at every meal. I stopped drinking plant milks and brought real dairy back in, I drank green tea, lemon water, limited coffee and added black tea to my diet.

THE DEED INFO
How many BD attempts did you make for the BFP cycle? -
BD Pattern
BD Dates according to Ovulation
BD Position Multiple
Any additional comments? I wasn't planning on making an attempt this month !!!!!!! Really kicking myself- the BD is pointing to this most likely being a girl. I'm really really upset with myself !
Any relevant attempt details? We were BD unprotected every few days here and there - and then
Bd aug 25 (cd 14)
Bd aug 27 (cd 16)
Positive OPK aug 29 so we held off on BD because I DIDNT want to get preg this cycle. I thought there would be no way swimmers from the attempts prior to O would still be around!
Did you do anything with Ions? No and I wasn't planning to.
Moon Phase during conception? -
Did you use any Old Wives Tales? -
Things that make me feel great about my sway: My supplement intake was excellent, I followed HE diet as best as I could and increased my protein intake. I also walked a lot- more activity than all previous months.
Also- something must have made me crazy fertile and swimmer friendly for this month to end in a BFP.
Things that make me nervous about my sway: The BD!!!!! I'm 95% certain this is going to be a fail and will be a girl. We were planning to start TTC this month so our first attempt would have been at the end of September- this was not expected at all!
Things worth mentioning: -
Hello, Atomic hopefully you will see this! It has definitely been a while. I am not TTC, my cycles have been MIA for over a year, I'm quite certain. I have not been charting but haven't had it....
Not sure where to ask not TTC
