JAZZERS mediocre girl sway!

[jazzers]

Hi Ladies!

I haven't been online in a couple months now - I was just finding it all too much, and spending too much time thinking about swaying, and getting pregnant etc. Anyways, I kind of fell off the wagon...and lost the wagon completely it seems and then my DH and I decided we would just wait a year or two before we had any more babies because we have a big move coming up in a few months, and I decided to go back to work, and now have a number of interviews coming up, etc. Well, clearly there were other plans in the works! I found out I was pg Easter weekend, and it was a bit of a surprise, seeing as we literally only BD'ed once last month! Anyways, here is my "sway" if you can call it that (I had been on a strict LE diet until the beginning of March, then gave it up, but these are the things I kept in general terms):

Low salt everything (not 1000mg or less, but WAY less than I have ever consumed before)
No red meat
Vegetarian - no chicken, fish (although I did start adding in some chicken, and I had lamb twice in the middle of the month when we decided we weren't going to TTC right now).
SYLK for BD
Abstain 8 days

I think that is mostly it. I have a feeling this one is a boy too, but that could just be me trying to get my head around the reality that it very well could be a boy and get used to the idea. We will not be finding out the gender until this little one is born - due date Dec 15, 2012

I love it! This is a great reminder that we can sway sway sway but at the end of the day (or the cycle it is not really up to us anways. Sounds like there is one determined little bub destined for your family. Congrats!!!

Thanks Ladies! In a way, I've been kicking myself and wondering why I couldn't have stayed on the diet longer, etc. I definitely gained about 5-8 lbs back before/around the time this baby was conceived. In previous months, I had been getting so frustrated that I wasn't able to conceive, and my luteal phase was getting shorter and shorter (it was down to 5-6 days!), until I started adding meat and more calories back into my diet in March - then BAM! Pregnant! LOL. I guess my body knew what it needed to sustain a pregnancy, and once it got it, then that was it. Of course, now I feel like I'm going to obsess over this until this kid is born, wondering what it could possibly be....what signs point to girl/boy; morning sickness, etc. And then the "what if it IS a boy, do we have another one, or am I OK with all boys?". It seems that I'm in a bit of a weird headspace right now with all this. I'm sure it will come together though. Obviously this baby really wanted to be part of our family!!

Irishmom - hooray for December babies!!

Ooo Jazzers, that's so exciting!! HUGE congrats and sending you pink dust!

FWIW I don't think that's a bad sway at all! I think that for some of us, the stealth sway may be the best way to go anyway cause it keeps our T under control.

[jazzers]

Yes, stealth indeed - I was just SHOCKED when I logged back in after a few months and saw you are expecting!! HUGE congrats to you too, and and even bigger congrats for getting your little GIRL!!!!! I am just hoping that my diet was different enough, and that maybe luck was on my side this time to conceive a girl...but we will see in December! I couldn't believe how much my body rebelled against the LE and vegetarian diet. Every month my luteal phase was getting a day shorter, until finally it was at 5 days and I said ENOUGH!! And started eating again! LOL. Of course that is when I got pregnant. Oh well! Whatever will be will be! Best of luck in your pregnancy Atomic. I am so looking forward to all your updates!
