No
DIET
Did you follow a diet plan?
Yes
If yes to diet, which one did you most follow?
LE Diet
Comments regarding DW's diet changes-
I have always loved frequent snacks and never missed my breakfast, so this was a huge change. But with time I just got used to it and it became easier. I even had a hard time starting to have breakfast again after my BFP.

March to November (8 months)
Did you skip breakfast regularly?
Yes, only had a later breakfast once in a while on Saturdays or Sundays
Did DH change his diet with you?
No - he didn't know I was swaying.
Comments regarding DH's diet-
He also likes snacking and continued to do so. He normally eats a higher amount of proteins and fat than I do, and didn't change anything.
DId you consume alcohol?
Yes - wine, not every night but probably 3-4 days a week.
DId you try to limit caffeine?
No I actually increased to 3 espressos a day.
Any Diet Details?
In the last 2-3 months I made sure a added one banana a day (for potassium) and 4 eggs a week plus I switched from skim to full fat diary since I started having spotting and longer cycles.
Any Diet Comments/Additional Info?
Used My Fitness Pal in the beginning to learn more about nutritional values (never paid attention to that before), but in the last months I just counted calories/proteins/fat roughly in my mind.
WEIGHT AND EXERCISE
What did you weigh/BMI do leading up to O?
58 kilos/BMI around 19 - lost about 5 kilos in the first months with LE diet, then I tried not to lose any more.
Any Weight/Exercise related additional info/comments?
I did 60+ minutes cardio, 5 days a week, for at least 5 months. I did stationary bike or walking.

How many BD attempts did you make for the BFP cycle?
One. I had another attempt a few days later but I feel it was at least 36 hs after ovulation. I did't temp but I always feel very strong o-pain regularly, 11 days before my period comes.
BD Dates according to Ovulation
O - 3
O + 1 or O + 2
Any additional comments?
I was hoping for a third child but DH never agreed until the week of our attemp. That's why I had been on diet and excercise for so long before conceiving. DH didn't even know I was swaying and I guess that helped me to avoid becoming obsessed with it. We have always been very fertile so I was just hoping to be ready in case pull-out/NTNP or whatever DH decided to do didn't work

Things that make me feel great about my sway:
It became my lifestyle so I was not obsessed. I thought that if I was going to have a 3rd boy despite my sway then he would have been the right baby for me.
Things that make me nervous about my sway:
I just felt I could only make boys.
Things worth mentioning:
I am waiting for confirmation from my anatomy scan next week, but during an emergency check up due to bleeding (18 weeks) doctor was 100% sure baby is a girl. She showed me the potty shot and I saw nothing between legs. It was quite shocking for me since another doctor had predicted boy at my NT scan (but she was actually looking at the potty shot, not the nub).
I was never active on the forums but wanted to post my sway in case this info could be useful for statistics. I hope I was clear enough since English is not my first language.
I will feel forever grateful to Atomic and lucky to have found this site. Thank you for the happiness you are bringing into our life

Ciao Francesarah! And congrats on your girl!!
I hope my outcome will be the same, as my sway and yours sounds a little similar.
Like you, I started swaying and OH wasn't aware and I swayed for 8 months like you. and it became pretty much my Life style too. I still skip breakfast and I am 5wks along. Lol
Praying hard that a girl is in there.
I agree that sway is such a bit taboo in our country, that really sucks.
Big congrats again!
Xx

Grazie davvero.. thanks so much.
I wish the same for you, you have a good chance with your sway.
I think getting into the lifestyle was the key, it took away all the stress and also made me feel like a girl mom before I even became one - while I always felt somehow inferior having only boys (stupid, I know.. my boys are wonderful).

Atomic, this may sound crazy but I’ve been reading about moon phases… I have a ‘red moon cycle’ currently which I didn’t used to have. Meaning my period is coinciding with the full moon. From...
