TTC a Girl Sway AttemptGender Result:GirlDW Age:34DH Age:32Current Children's Gender(s)Boy (unplanned with special needs), girl (successful casual sway)Number of Months TTC6-9Did you purchase and follow a GD Personalized Plan?NoDIET
Did you follow a diet plan?YesIf yes to diet, which one did you most follow?- LE(Low Everything)
Comments regarding DW's diet changes--If diet was used, length of time before attempt?First up, even though I was TTC for 8 months, that was only 4 cycles and we conceived on cycles 1, 3 and 4.Did you skip breakfast regularly?
I was on the diet for about 6 weeks, felt like I was starving and hadn't ovulated so gave up, ovulated 2 weeks later, conceived, and miscarried (so was off the diet for about 7 weeks). Then was back on for about 8 weeks, conceived again and was insanely hungry from 3DPO so diet again went out the window, I ate so much chocolate and peanut butter and gained 2kg over the next month until I miscarried at 6.5 weeks. Immediately went back on the diet but conceived again only 3 weeks later. So I was on the LE diet for either 8 months or 3 weeks?NoDid DH change his diet with you?NoComments regarding DH's diet--DId you consume alcohol?- Often- daily
DId you try to limit caffeine?No, I drink caffeine regularlyAny Diet Details?Already lifelong vegetarian, don't drink milk but do eat cheese/chocolate/butter.Any Diet Comments/Additional Info?
I'd have coffee at ~8am (just instant with sweetener and dash of almond milk)
Breakfast at 10am, usually a cinnamon & raisin bagel with butter. Too hungry to skip breakfast altogether.
Light lunch at around 1pm, snack foods and coffee
Wine while cooking dinner at ~5pm
Normal, pretty big dinner by 6pm
Low cat hot chocolate at around 9pm.
Excluding the hot choc at night and coffee in the morning, I'd otherwise have a 14-16 hour fast between meals. The drinks were <50 cal so hopefully didn't undermine the fasting too much.
Totals were around 1800 cal / 60g fat / 50g protein, so in the upper end, but I was still breastfeeding the toddler a couple of times a day.-WEIGHT AND EXERCISE
What did you weigh/BMI do leading up to O?52kg/18.7 BMIAny Weight/Exercise related additional info/comments?
I started at 54kg in April, started the diet and went down to 50kg. Went back up to 54kg during pregnancy#1, then back down to 51kg after. Then back up to 54kg during pregnancy#2, then back down to 52kg before pregnancy#3.Exercise was just walking (while pushing the pram+toddler) for at least an hour a day, at least 5-6 days/week. But I try to do that anyway regardless of TTC or pregnancy status, and was doing so all year (apart from 2 weeks in September when we were in covid isolation!)THINGS in VG and CONCEPTION DATE(CD) INFO
My daughter was conceived when my BMI was only 17.5 so I wasn't concerned about weight being too low.
pH Before Starting a Sway Program, if known-Any VG potions used?- NO
CM pH at attempt-DH pH-How many BD attempts did you make for the BFP cycle?1, sort of 2 but one probably didn't countBD Dates according to Ovulation- 4 Days Before O
- 2 Days Before O
Any additional comments?The O-4 attempt was just sex for fun, I really didn't expect to get a +OPK 2 days later! So we had a proper attempt then. Ovulation confirmed by OPK+BBT.THE DEED INFO
DH Info about Swimmers- BD every few days
BD Position-Did you Jump and Dump?-Any relevant attempt details?Didn't really J&D, just got up to pee after a few minutes like usual.SUPPLEMENTS USED
DW Supplements- folic acid
DH Supplements-Any additional supplement info?I took Methylfolate 500mg daily and Folic acid + iodine every other day.Did you do anything with Ions?-Moon Phase during conception?-Did you use any Old Wives Tales?No. Just prayed to Mother Earth and the MoonThings that make me feel great about my sway:Continual exercise all through 2020 was pretty good, and breastfeeding even if a little, wine & coffee.Things that make me nervous about my sway:I sucked at the diet! Was on and off, really struggled to get my calories and fat within limits in particular. I usually eat high fat/low carb lol.With long, irregular cycles it was hard to get the timing right, especially when ovulation symptoms don't perfectly sync with OPKs.Things worth mentioning:-
