NCBeachyGrl TTC a GIRL Sway Attempt - 5th and Final (not really a sway)
TTC a Girl Sway AttemptGender Result:UnknownDW Age:35DH Age:34Current Children's Gender(s)4 BoysNumber of Months TTC1Did you purchase and follow a GD Personalized Plan?NoDIET
Did you follow a diet plan?NoIf yes to diet, which one did you most follow?-Comments regarding DW's diet changes-It was around Christmas and I was eating a ton of sweets (handfuls of M&Ms for breakfast and brownies for lunch)If diet was used, length of time before attempt?Didn't really have a consistent diet; wasn't planning on getting pg and was all over the place with food. I had relaxed on calories and gained about 5 lbs more than I usually weigh over the last few months with the intention of losing weight after new year's.Did you skip breakfast regularly?YesDid DH change his diet with you?NoComments regarding DH's diet-DH is a still into working out (sigh) and drinks an enormous amount of caffeine per day and consumes a ton of protein.DId you consume alcohol?- A couple of drinks per week
DId you try to limit caffeine?No, I drink caffeine regularlyAny Diet Details?I was drinking a ton of caffeine - 1 coffee + at least 2 diet sodas a dayAny Diet Comments/Additional Info?I have limited meat over the last few months and started eating more pasta b/c I was growing sick of it.WEIGHT AND EXERCISE
What did you weigh/BMI do leading up to O?weight was 150 lbs (sigh again) and BMI 22.8Any Weight/Exercise related additional info/comments?I was not working out at all and was feeling pretty low about my extra pounds.THINGS in VG and CONCEPTION DATE(CD) INFO
pH Before Starting a Sway Program, if knownno ideaAny VG potions used?- Other
CM pH at attemptno ideaDH pHno ideaHow many BD attempts did you make for the BFP cycle?1BD Dates according to Ovulation- O day only
Any additional comments?we used lube - "Wet" brand. I was supposed to O on Christmas Eve (based on 28 day cycle), but I O'd one day before (was expecting that could happen - O mostly on CD13). I know we BD'd on O day, but can't remember other days. I'm thinking we didn't DTD any other time in my window, but could be wrong.THE DEED INFO
DH Info about Swimmers-BD PositionMultipleDid you Jump and Dump?- Yes
Any relevant attempt details?We weren't trying to get PG and were relying on Fertility Awareness Method. Leading up to O day (around 5-7 days ahead), we would either not BD or DH would pull out. I can't really remember all the days we BD'd, but I'm pretty sure we BD'd on O day only, but not confident. DH swears up and down he didn't screw up and I don't think he did either. He thinks I had my cycles screwed up but I am positive I did not.SUPPLEMENTS USED
DW Supplements-DH Supplements-Any additional supplement info?Had been very sick for a month (first strep, then terrible cold, then sinus infection) and was taking Motrin regularly for pain - had to take every 8 hours for like a week leading up to and after O dayDid you do anything with Ions?noMoon Phase during conception?First QuarterDid you use any Old Wives Tales?noThings that make me feel great about my sway:I was very sick at time of O and had been for about a month. I had strep in November, then the week before Christmas I came down with one of the worst colds I've ever had. I had felt like I had been hit by a bus for a month. On top of it, I had gone to the dr. office on Monday for the kids and 2 of the 4 had ear infections and the night before O, my 1 year old came down with the stomach bug and threw up many times that night. The other 3 kids picked up the stomach bug on Christmas eve too on top of their ear infections and cold. So being sick was my big sway factor. I am also about 90% positive that this is a pull out baby (LOL), but there is a slight chance we DTD about 5 days before O. I was also really sleep deprived being up all night with sick baby, myself being sick, and the other kids sick too.Things that make me nervous about my sway:I can't remember the days that we BD'd leading up to O. I know 100% the day of O was pull out, but I'm not confident when the other last time was and am second guessing when we last BD'd. I have been pretty strict that we not BD unprotected well in advance of O (have been following for about 8 months). but I'm just not confident if we might have DTD unprotected too close to O day. At least if we had, the earliest would have been 5 days before O.Things worth mentioning:
Weight gain is a concern and not working out. Diet was really badDH and I had been talking a lot about whether we wanted to stop at 4 or go on for one more. I had been praying about it for months and put it into God's hands. So, I feel very strongly this is meant to be. I am very content with my four boys and feel very blessed. I am very excited that I get another opportunity to have one last baby and want to cherish every moment.

Welcome back!! Congrats!
Mom to
and my IVF/PGD
It's better to look back on life and say: "I can't believe I did that" than to look back and say "I wish I did that".

Exciting! You must have just gotten your BFP, right? When is your DD? Being sick so much, 1 attempt and pulling out could very well produce a girl, fx for you.
My Ovulation Chart currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP
TTC #1 - swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!
Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after removìng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic
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)
Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

Thank you Atomic and NBP!! It feels surreal being back I hate that I went MIA before. We had SO much going on...moving, baby, etc. And, I just needed some time to focus on positives and not negatives. I feel much more content than I ever have and just love my boys to pieces! I'll take whatever pink I can get!
