Comments regarding DW's diet changes-
Lots of Eggs, nuts, fruit and veggies, friut dipped in peanut butter for snacks, some sweet potatoes, mostly quinoa and brown rice as carbs, lots of chicken and wild game(deer and elk steak) and red meat occasionally, no dairy just cuz I havent been eating it and havent missed it. Cook all food with olive oil and lots of fresh garlic. Oats with fruit every morning for breakfast. Very little prcessed food, no bread, cheat with fast food maybe twice a month and pizza maybe once a week. Snack on chips and salsa and popcorn made on the stove in olive oil with sea salt. 9 servings of fruits and veggies must days. And always ate 6 times a day with the last time being right before bed.Tried to eat dark chocolate daily AF-O. I said no on alcohol but I did have a couple glasses of red wine here and there..not weekly though!

I had changed my eating habits about a year ago to start being more health conscious and eat smaller more frequent meals. I was on the actual HE diet with supps for 4 months before 1st attempt.

Before swaying I was lifting weights 5x a week and had good muscle mass bult up. Once swaying I tried to stick to 2-3x a week but didnt always make it. Still have muscle mass but would've liked to have more. I did gain around 8lbs in the 4 months swaying.

We were DTD every other day AF-O with DH releasing inside me. I Od late so we didnt have a cut off before our 3 attempts in the furtile window and since I was only using temping and body signs to track O we BD everyday I had EWCM so we didnt miss O.
DH Has a high sex drive and had no trouble going every other day or more(he is already complaining since our BFP lol). It did seem that he was releasing a larger amount (sorry). He wears boxer briefs and also stopped taking hot baths.
Any relevant attempt details?
We did both doggy and Missonary. Layed flat for 15 min after each attempt.
Did you do anything with Ions?
I work on a computer daily, and use my cell phone frequently..but who doesnt! :)
Moon Phase during conception?
New Moon
Did you use any Old Wives Tales?
Nope just lots of praying! I did have a very vivid dream of us at the ultrasound hearing it was a boy a couple days before I got my BFP so hopefully thats a sign!!
Things that make me feel great about my sway:
I think my diet was good, I had no trouble sticking to it. Even though I Od late I feel good about our BD attempts. Both our DDs were from one attempt! Our lifestyles are so much different now..taking vitamins for one! I just hope luck is on our side!
Things that make me nervous about my sway:
I really wish I would've got to the gym more. I know lots of boy moms that are couch potatos though so im trying not to stress about it!
Things worth mentioning:
Lots of praying! Was lucky enought to conceive on our first attempt so just hope we have a healthy 9 months and a healthy happy baby..boy would be lovely but am already convinced it will be a girl, and that feels ok too!
