Did you purchase and follow a GD Personalized Plan?
no
DIET
Did you follow a diet plan?
Yes - more snacking in evenings than I would have liked though
If yes to diet, which one did you most follow?
LE(Low Everything)
Comments regarding DW's diet changes-
Our first month trying I was more strict on the LE diet however as AF approached and I 'felt' pregnant I fell off the diet wagon pretty bad... picked it up again at AF though so I'd get a couple decent weeks in before attempting again.
If diet was used, length of time before attempt?
8 weeks with about a week of not sticking to it when I thought I'd be getting a bfp the first month
Did you skip breakfast regularly?
Yes. My job made it very easy to not eat until at least noon, sometimes 2pm. Then I usually had a fruit/veggie smoothie or a salad.
Did DH change his diet with you?
no
Comments regarding DH's diet-
n/a
Did you consume alcohol?
Yes, between 2-4oz vodka each night from af to about 4dpo. Drank with diet soda (Dr. Pepper, Pepsi, ginger ale, etc) I'm not a big drinker other than while swaying so that was very different for me.
Did you try to limit caffeine?
No, I'm not a coffee drinker at all however used Maxwell House concentrated iced coffee in my water, one serving a day
Any Diet Details?
I found it easy to not eat until lunch time and then have a light lunch, home at 5pm but larger supper, tried to cut back on meat and eat mostly vegetarian (but I love cheese!)
Any Diet Comments/Additional Info
I'm still nursing my 22 month old so stuck with the upper limits for foods, and I think I averaged around 1500-1800 cals daily. Had more snacks/sweets before bed than I would have liked but otherwise did alright!
WEIGHT AND EXERCISE
Any Weight/Exercise related additional info/comments?
I did 1hr of running (sometimes brisk walking, but mostly running) on the treadmill at least 5 days a week. I took a few days off the week before conceiving but made sure to get in at least the hour from about 4 days before O until 2 or 3dpo. The battery died on my scale so I have no idea whether I lost weight
THINGS in VG and CONCEPTION DATE(CD) INFO
pH Before Starting a Sway Program, if known
n/a
Any VG potions used?
No
CM pH at attempt
n/a. Some ewcm, less than normal for me.

n/a
How many BD attempts did you make for the BFP cycle?
Against my better judgement we did 4 attempts!! Stopped at positive OPK.

Any additional comments?
THE DEED INFO
DH Info about Swimmers
n/a

Missionary and doggy. The day of positive OPK he released super shallow, almost pulled out
Did you Jump and Dump?
After about 5 minutes each time
SUPPLEMENTS USED
DW Supplements
folic acid, cranberry, vitex, saw palmetto, Biotin
Also I've been on Cetrizine Hydrochloride (antihistamine) since about October due to constantly breaking into hives for no known reason. I saw this used to be used in girl sways, although it isn't brought up much anymore.
DH Supplements
none
Did you do anything with Ions?
wasn't on computer much for over a month
Moon Phase during conception?
o'd on 3rd day of new moon

Things that make me feel great about my sway:
I feel like I did many things differently this time, especially the exercise and drinking alcohol.
Things that make me nervous about my sway:
took a short break from diet & exercise during 2ww the first month. Got my butt back in gear when AF showed though. I am nervous about the multiple attempts in fertile window.
