    Boy, girl, boy

    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-
    Lost 40 lbs from July 2018 to November 2018, slipped for a while during holidays but started loose LE diet January 2019. Had a chemical at the end of March and completely screwed up diet from April to mid-May when I conceived. Still ate low protein low fat, but calories were well above 2000 pretty consistently. Gained about 10 lbs during that time.
    If diet was used, length of time before attempt?
    Lost weight for about 4 months, then off diet for 1-2, then LE diet for 3 months, then messed up last 1.5 months leading up to conception.
    Did you skip breakfast regularly?
    Yes
    Did DH change his diet with you?
    Yes
    Comments regarding DH's diet-
    Mainly the same as usual, but no red meat and limited meat.
    DId you consume alcohol?
    • A couple of drinks per week


    DId you try to limit caffeine?
    No, I drink caffeine regularly
    Any Diet Details?
    When I did the LE diet, I kept calories around 1500 +- 200. Kept protein under 60 grams and fat between 30 and 40 grams. I drank alcohol a couple of nights a week and normally don't really drink at all. 3 cups of coffee a day with aspartame and a lot of Crystal Light each day.
    Any Diet Comments/Additional Info?
    I really messed up the diet. I did so well for 3 months and then fell off of it and couldn't get back on. I sort of stuck to it the week leading up to conception but there was a month of rapid weight gain leading to that. Really bummed about that after all the effort the months before then.
    WEIGHT AND EXERCISE
    What did you weigh/BMI do leading up to O?
    22.8. Was 27.7 before I started losing weight last July so hopefully the overall loss helped offset the small gain at the end.
    Any Weight/Exercise related additional info/comments?
    Did 1 hour cardio 6-7 days a week from January to the beginning of April, then switched to couch potato. The chemical completely three me off my sway :/
    THINGS in VG and CONCEPTION DATE(CD) INFO
    pH Before Starting a Sway Program, if known
    -
    Any VG potions used?
    -
    CM pH at attempt
    -
    DH pH
    -
    How many BD attempts did you make for the BFP cycle?
    2
    BD Dates according to Ovulation
    • 1 Day Before O
    • O Day


    Any additional comments?
    DH had been on antidepressants that killed his libido. Had him release 2 days before attempt.
    THE DEED INFO
    DH Info about Swimmers
    • Other


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


    Any relevant attempt details?
    The only times we've ever conceived have been with the help of softcups so I am not too worried about the second attempt messing the sway up, especially as I j&d after a minute or two that time. But I'm counting it here for full disclosure. The "real" attempt at o-1 was several hours before positive opk
    SUPPLEMENTS USED
    DW Supplements
    • Clomid
    • folic acid


    DH Supplements
    -
    Any additional supplement info?
    Stopped all vitamins in January except for a folate supplement. Had DH stop his vitamins as well (he had been taking a D and multi prior).
    Did you do anything with Ions?
    Wore bracelets 24/7 with some negative ion stones (I forget which offhand, sorry!). Also had oil diffuser with lavender on several times a day right near where I spend a lot of my time.
    Moon Phase during conception?
    Full Moon
    Did you use any Old Wives Tales?
    -
    Things that make me feel great about my sway:
    I followed the diet and exercises religiously for three months (and after several months of mostly-consistent weight loss). I'm hoping the eggs formed during that time gave me a girl, lol.
    Things that make me nervous about my sway:
    I completely messed up on the diet for a good 6 weeks prior to conception. My protein and fat intake was still low but my calories were high and I gained weight, so I'm afraid I basically swayed boy..
    Things worth mentioning:
    I used Clomid for 2 cycles, first one I didn't conceive and second one I had the chemical. After that I had one full cycle with no Clomid, then the next cycle (also no Clomid) is when I conceived. Wondering if it still could have helped my sway two cycles later?

    Thank you! We're doing the Sneak Peek test (the clinical version) next week. I'm a little nervous about how nervous I am if that makes sense. Scared I won't take it well if it's a boy based on how anxious I am about the results, terrible as that is ��

    I don't recommend the Sneak Peek tests as they don't seem to be reliably accurate. IT's up to you of course but do take the results with a grain of salt.

    Oh I agree as far as the home test for sure, I'd be too afraid of contamination. But from what I understand the clinical version eliminates that risk since it's a venipuncture. Have you heard of any wrong results from that? I think it's a fairly new service but not sure how long it's been around.

    I'm not sure as there are so many hits for the at-home version it's hard to know who is talking about what. I am somewhat skeptical of it though because it gives you the results the next day, whereas the Nipty takes a week or two.

    I prefer the Nipty tests but like I said, just take with a grain of salt and it is all good.

    I failed. I guess there's a tiny chance my result got mixed up or something but I'm not that lucky.
