    Northernsparkle TTC a GIRL Sway Attempt

    Update! It’s a GIRL!!! TTC a Girl Sway Attempt
    Gender Result:
    Girl
    DW Age:
    38
    DH Age:
    47
    Current Children's Gender(s)
    DS 11, DS 8, DS 5, DS 3
    Number of Months TTC
    5
    Did you purchase and follow a GD Personalized Plan?
    No
    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 had to restrict my diet to help control a skin condition so with advice from Atomic I combined it with LE and basically cut out - sugar, wheat, most dairy, had meat only once per week (chinese takeaway cheat to keep me sane!) - so very low protein and fat, most of my fats came from vegetables. This was hard to do but helped my skin and hopefully was a good sway too although probably a bit on the low side calorie wise.
    If diet was used, length of time before attempt?
    7
    Did you skip breakfast regularly?
    Yes
    Did DH change his diet with you?
    No
    Comments regarding DH's diet-
    DH eats a high energy diet as he has a very physical job. Far too much chocolate and biscuits too and drinks cider 3 or 4 nights per week, smokes 2 or 3 roll ups per day.
    DId you consume alcohol?
    • A couple of drinks per week


    DId you try to limit caffeine?
    No, I drink caffeine regularly
    Any Diet Details?
    Ate lunch at 12 then dinner at 5, occasionally ate again at around 9pm as I was struggling to make up enough calories and was sometimes too hungry to sleep.
    Any Diet Comments/Additional Info?
    Switched to skimmed milk in coffee (3 per day) and drank diet coke and sprite zero to fill up between meals.
    WEIGHT AND EXERCISE
    What did you weigh/BMI do leading up to O?
    BMI at attempt was 20.9 (5 feet 5 and 9 stone) I lost a total of 2 stone whilst swaying.
    Any Weight/Exercise related additional info/comments?
    No official exercise but I work 4 days per week and run round after 4 boys plus walk the dog every evening so always quite active.
    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?
    1
    BD Dates according to Ovulation
    • 1 Day Before O


    Any additional comments?
    I had a positive OPK on CD10 and we had already BD on CD9 so left it at that attempt. Didn't BD again until CD13 then had very strong cramps and decided to test again out of curiosity and got another solid smiley! This happened the cycle before too so I'm beginning to think I have been having 2 LH surges and may have been missing the egg in previous months. Cycle 3 three I had a CP though so this could have thrown things out a bit.
    So glad we both had the day off that day and had time for a relaxed BD as I'm sure I wouldn't have my BFP otherwise!
    THE DEED INFO
    DH Info about Swimmers
    • BD every few days


    BD Position
    Missionary
    Did you Jump and Dump?
    • No
    • For some attempts


    Any relevant attempt details?
    Female O and stayed laid down for about half an hour afterwards for cuddles as we didn't even realise this would be an actual attempt!
    SUPPLEMENTS USED
    DW Supplements
    • folic acid
    • Fiber
    • Antihistamine


    DH Supplements
    -
    Any additional supplement info?
    I took antihistamines because of hay fever not for swaying purposes.
    Had Fybogel before dinner when I remembered but not every day.
    DH took OLE 750 mg per day.
    I could only get 2 rounds of clomid on cycle 2 and 3 so pretty sure this would have been well out of my system by now.
    Did you do anything with Ions?
    No
    Moon Phase during conception?
    Waning Crescent
    Did you use any Old Wives Tales?
    No
    Things that make me feel great about my sway:
    Had to be strict on diet and lost a lot of weight, completely different to my constant snacking when my boys were conceived.
    One attempt that ended up in the e4d Mon/Fri pattern.
    Things that make me nervous about my sway:
    Couldn't get more clomid so this had probably lost any swaying affect by BFP.
    The fact that I just can't imagine being lucky enough that this will actually work for us!
    Things worth mentioning:
    TTC was less stressful this time around as DH was fully on board and understanding so lots of affection rather than me bottling up all my frustration and trying to sneakily time attempts.
    DH had also been ill and had 2 rounds of prednisone prior to BFP - not sure if this sways but he definitely hasn't been at his healthiest recently.
    Thank you atomic for always answering my questions and reassuring me in times of panic - I feel like i really could not have done any more this time around.
