DIET
Did you follow a diet plan?

Comments regarding DW's diet changes-
When I conceived my daughter, I was very much following a LE diet lifestyle. I switched to whole milk, added eggs every morning, healthy fats, juices, and tons of nuts/Lara bars. I drank lemon water or water with alkaline drops, too.
If diet was used, length of time before attempt?
I implemented subtle changes about 6 months before (whole milk in lattes, eggs, etc), but would say 6 weeks prior, I was very strict about eating every 2 hours.
Did you skip breakfast regularly?
No
Did DH change his diet with you?
Yes
Comments regarding DH's diet-
For the most part, my husband ate what I ate and we added more red meat into our diet, which was not something we ate much of before.
DId you consume alcohol? No
DId you try to limit caffeine?
Yes, I had 1 drink per day

WEIGHT AND EXERCISE
What did you weigh/BMI do leading up to O?
122 lbs. I gained 15 lbs since March. I was 107 lbs when we conceived our daughter, so this is much different. I also believe I was underweight.
Any Weight/Exercise related additional info/comments?
I only lifted weights (consistently 3x/week, but sometimes more). I'm also holding my 20-something lb. daughter all day :) This is the opposite of what I did with my daughter, as I solely did the elliptical/spinning prior to getting pregnant.

We got a positive OPK at 6pm and we attempted that night, the next morning and night (it was still reading "positive" the very next morning but we felt confident with 3 attempts)

Did you do anything with Ions?
I always have phone on me and am on the computer a lot, if that matters

Last Quarter
Did you use any Old Wives Tales?

Things that make me feel great about my sway:
I gained healthy weight (didn't expect 15 lbs, but I think it was from both diet and weight lifting), I increased working out with weights, we attempted 3x, and were very good about taking our supplements
Things that make me nervous about my sway:
Although my husband released every 2-4 days, we didn't have unprotected sex during cycle, so that worries me. I always second guess if I had enough fruit/veggies, too, but I am positive our diets were completely different! Also, my hubby has low testosteron, which we were unaware of before.
Things worth mentioning:
Regardless of outcome, we are so blessed to have gotten pregnant again on the first attempt (same with our daughter, we can't believe it!). We just hope for a healthy, happy baby :) Fingers crossed for a baby boy, but would be excited for my daughter to have a sister, too! I don't write much on this site, but thank you all for your help along the way!
