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


    Comments regarding DW's diet changes-
    I went mostly vegetarian with only white meat occasionally (once a week or every two weeks). I am breastfeeding so I stayed in the upper limits for calories, was usually around 40g for protein but almost always at 60g or slightly over for fat. I had a really hard time staying low on fat without losing too much weight. I always delayed breakfast and had three meals a day with no snacking. I often worked dessert into my totals for the day. I didn't worry too much about avoiding certain foods except olive oil and avocados (rarely had either when I used to eat them a lot)
    If diet was used, length of time before attempt?
    12 weeks
    Did you skip breakfast regularly?
    Yes
    Did DH change his diet with you?
    Yes
    Comments regarding DH's diet-
    He ate a lot less meat and only had red meat a few times for the last 10 weeks. Drank coffee with soy milk most days, drank almost every night, and partook in "special cigarettes" most nights.
    DId you consume alcohol?
    • Often- daily


    DId you try to limit caffeine?
    No, I drink caffeine regularly
    Any Diet Details?
    Coffee every day- at least one cup but usually two or three
    Alcohol almost every night with dinner
    Stopped drinking tea and almost never had milk or cereal which I used to have every day
    Any Diet Comments/Additional Info?
    -
    WEIGHT AND EXERCISE
    What did you weigh/BMI do leading up to O?
    17.5
    Any Weight/Exercise related additional info/comments?
    I was not trying to lose weight, my bmi is normally 18 though so it's very normal for me to be low and still be healthy and ovulate with no problems and I still did ovulate fine and made plenty of milk while breastfeeding at a bmi of 17.5
    THINGS in VG and CONCEPTION DATE(CD) INFO
    pH Before Starting a Sway Program, if known
    Unknown
    Any VG potions used?
    • NO


    CM pH at attempt
    Unknown
    DH pH
    Unknown
    How many BD attempts did you make for the BFP cycle?
    2
    BD Dates according to Ovulation
    • 3 Days Before O
    • 1 Day Before O


    Any additional comments?
    Accidentally had two attempts because I ovulated 4 days early!
    THE DEED INFO
    DH Info about Swimmers
    • Other


    BD Position
    Missionary
    Did you Jump and Dump?
    • For some attempts


    Any relevant attempt details?
    First attempt was three days before O and did jump and dump. Second attempt was one day before O and did not jump and dump
    SUPPLEMENTS USED
    DW Supplements
    • folic acid
    • Fiber


    DH Supplements
    -
    Any additional supplement info?
    I took vitex the two cycles before first attempt but not the months of attempt
    Did you do anything with Ions?
    No I didn't pay attention to those
    Moon Phase during conception?
    Waning Gibbous
    Did you use any Old Wives Tales?
    Not really, I don't believe in them but I did coincidentally have my nails painted pink
    Things that make me feel great about my sway:
    I was on the diet 12 weeks, included fiber, alcohol, and coffee, I am breastfeeding, low bmi, and I was very relaxed and didn't obsess over small details
    Things that make me nervous about my sway:
    I was pretty high in fat, at the upper limits and sometimes over. We accidentally had two attempts. I didn't include exercise which I know can really help a sway.
    Things worth mentioning:
    I was breastfeeding and just had cycles return at 27 months pp.

    UPDATE! It's a boy. I'll sway again next time and hopefully we'll get our girl since it'll be our last baby.
