View Full Version : Got a BFP! My Unintentional "Sway"

I didn't put this in the Attempts forum because I'm not sure if it even qualifies as a sway but I wanted to share how I think I unintentionally swayed pink.

Diet/Weight Loss- Over the last few months I've lost a lot of weight due to a new medication that completely decimated my appetite. I weighed 89 lbs at O.

Abstinence- I had only planned on a 5/6 day abstinence but DH was working overtime and also had second thoughts on the night of our attempt. After a long heart to heart he agreed to give it one shot the following day which made it a 7 day abstinence.

DTD- I've never done a jump and dump and didn't plan to this time either but DH came home from work early and I had some ewcm as well as high medium open cervix so I was afraid of missing O if we waited until night. We did a quicky standing up in the bathroom and most of the spermies fell out as I need to go downstairs and start cooking dinner instead of laying down with hips propped like I normally do.

Miscarriage- I know this technically doesn't sway but I have heard that many women have girls the cycle after a m/c and last cycle I had a chemical.

The only things I did do intentionally were using rephresh 6 days before O and again 3 days before O. I also took saw palmetto and baby asprin as well as drank lots of CL and diet coke.

So there it is. I'm not sure if I should fill out the sway "form" for the stats but I can if you think I should.

I know I haven't been on this site very long but you ladies still showed me a lot of support and answered my questions, thanks so much to everyone and of course an extra special thank you to Atomic!

I think it sounds pretty great to me! Good luck hun!!!

I DEF. want you to fill out the form in the sway section. we want all sways, and in fact the ones where people did something a little bit different are even more valuable than the ones where people did everythign "perfect" - when people do things just the same it's hard to see any trends developing. I'd really appreciate it if you have the time. :heart:

Good luck and happy, healthy 9 months!! pink dust.

Thanks for your response Atomic! I did go ahead and fill out the forms. One other thing I forgot to include above was the use of zyrtec and benadryl in the days before O.
