No, I did not factor that into my sway
Any Diet Details?
I had no caffeine, never was really a coffee or soda drinker anyway. I didn't cheat much at all, and I did eat a lot of sweet stuff to be sure I got around 1500 cal/day. Never ate breakfast, usually 2 meals per day (rarely 3) and no snacking. I was good about the breakfast/snacking rules.
Any Diet Comments/Additional Info?

WEIGHT AND EXERCISE
What did you weigh/BMI do leading up to O?
I lost considerable weight on the diet, went from 145 to about 127-130. I was at this weight for 2 cycles (about 40 days) before our successful attempt. I weighed around 145-150 when I conceived our son, we didn't sway with him but just fyi.
Any Weight/Exercise related additional info/comments?
I used to exercise regularly, but I completely stopped for our sway. So no exercise of any kind for 3.5 months.

How many BD attempts did you make for the BFP cycle?
-
BD Dates according to Ovulation 5 Days Before O
3 Days Before O
1 Day Before O
O Day


Any additional comments?
My chart says I ovulated the same day as the +opk, I guess bc of my temp shift immediately following, but even with that it seems like it might have been a day or so later. The other months it always said I o'ed a day or two after the +. Concerned that the chart is off a bit, but that would just mean that our attempts were all 1-2 days earlier.

Things that make me feel great about my sway:
Stuck with the diet and exercise plan really well. Hubby did too. Was good about supplements, tea, and good BD attempts. Wasn't as stressed during our successful attempt as I was throughout previous attempts.
Things that make me nervous about my sway:
Worried that we swayed blue by having too many BD attempts, despite the fact that we stuck with all those other guidelines...
