Any Diet Comments/Additional Info?

I did not do well in the 2ww and am pretty mad at myself. I realize that after sperm met egg there was no changing gender but I still wish I would have been better. I think I O'd on a Thursday and by Saturday I was eating all kinds of bad things, and a lot of them. I am so hopeful that I had already concieved by then and it didnt matter, but it worries me a lot.

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

My weight went from 148 to 135 at O. My body BMI was not as low as I wanted, so I am hoping the weight loss was enough.

Any Weight/Exercise related additional info/comments?

No exercise! I ride horses and am fairly toned but I noticed a huge difference by not doing any exercise for 6 weeks. My legs turned to jelly when I rode 2 days after O!

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

1!!!!

BD Dates according to Ovulation

• 2 Days Before O

Any additional comments?

I am not totally sure on O day. I got a +opk on CD 13, we dtd that night. Opk was still positive all day CD 14 and was negative by CD15. I do not temp as I have a 9 month old who does not sleep regularly enough for me to feel comfortable with the results. My cm led me to believe I O'd on CD15, but Im not 100% sure.

DH Supplements

• Magnesium

Any additional supplement info?

I took cranberry up until O, about 10000 fresh fruit equivalent.

Did you do anything with Ions?

I wore a pink negaitve ion bracelet, slept with fans on, used lavendar body wash and lotion (which I hate), tried to spend a lot of time outdoors when it was breezy, hot showers, and a rose quartz necklace that actually broke right after our attempt. I thought this was a terrible sign so I swallowed the pea sized piece of quartz. I know, I know.....DO NOT ATTEMPT!!!

Moon Phase during conception?

Full Moon

Did you use any Old Wives Tales?

Chinese Gender Chart says girl! Slept with a pair of girl newborn shoes and a pink dress under pillow, a wooden spoon with a pink ribbon under bed.

Things that make me feel great about my sway:

I feel like I totally changed my body with diet and lack of exercise. With all 3 of my boys I just wanted to get pg so we dtd every day/eod. With this one we literally did everything opposite. Of course I am nervous but I have a sense of calm about this and really feel like this is my girl. I never felt that way with my boys, I hoped, but never believed it.

Things that make me nervous about my sway:

FULL MOON!!! But I didnt want to wait. I would have liked to get my BMI lower, and I was unsure about supps but have decided that I did the best sway I could and am content with that. If a little boy gets through all that, he must be meant to be!
