No, I did not factor that into my sway
Any Diet Details?
I drink caffeine via steeped tea. 1x in the am -- sometimes 1x in eve. Used to drink it all day long.
Used to eat honey nut cheeries for breakfast almost every single day...no breakfast was a HUGH change for me, as was vegetarianism

-
WEIGHT AND EXERCISE
What did you weigh/BMI do leading up to O?
248
269 in Feb - lost 21 pounds mostly before mid May
Any Weight/Exercise related additional info/comments?
did not do the 1 hour 5-7x per week. Did basic couch potato. Did, however, do 60 mins the day before my pos OPK. Do not think it will affect anything.

** for my boys I was 250 at BFP. 2 pounds less for this one.
THINGS in VG and CONCEPTION DATE(CD) INFO

-
Any VG potions used? NO

How many BD attempts did you make for the BFP cycle?
1.5 (the 1 is the what I got preggo from, the 0.5 was 5 days after pos opk)
BD Dates according to Ovulation No idea


Any additional comments?
did an attempt at pos OPK (which I got super duper early - CD 10) So, I might have been 2-3 days before O
THE DEED INFO
DH Info about Swimmers Frequent Release


BD Position
Multiple
Did you Jump and Dump? No


Any relevant attempt details?
I did not j&d for the attempt I believe I got pregnant on. We DTD 5 days after pos opk, but there is no way that my BFP is from that second time (I'd only be 5 DPO at BFP)

DH helps himself daily (always has). He had done so the morning of our attempt as well (because I didn't get my pos OPK until mid afternoon and had no idea it would come so early)
SUPPLEMENTS USED
DW Supplements folic acid
Fiber


DH Supplements
-
Any additional supplement info?
on prescription folic acid 5 mg due to the fact my OB believes my last m/c (2nd tri) was due to a neural tube defect
Did you do anything with Ions?
I have no idea about ions. So, I'm guessing no.
Moon Phase during conception?
New Moon
Did you use any Old Wives Tales?
Chinese calendar says girl :P
Things that make me feel great about my sway:
being on the LE diet/vegetarian for more than 2 months, usually remembering my fiber supplements
Things that make me nervous about my sway:
no exercise, cheats, not losing much wait the month before BFP
Things worth mentioning:
I hope the changes I made was enough to move me into a pinker lifestyle. At the end of the day, I just want another healthy baby. I hope with all my heart that this baby bean sticks and is healthy. If the baby is a girl, I will consider myself triple blessed!

Thanks, Ladies! I know it could have been better, but I'm ok with what I was able to do. I'm not going to stress over it. Baby is whoever s/he is and I'm hoping I can wait until birth to find out!!!! (DH doubts I'll be able to hold out and he wants to find out as soon as we can). I'm thrilled :) Of course, pink would be amazing!!!

Congrats and I hope you are having a beautiful girl.

By the way, in there nobody heard about the test of blood that is sent to Usa or Austria for 2 weeks and when it comes back it tells you all the details about any illness etc but also for the baby gender? My friend did it at 9-10 weeks and she found out at 12 she is having a girl 100%.
I heard this test can be made at 6 weeks of pregnancy...

I've heard of Panorama and Harmony....I don't think either, though, can be done at 6 weeks. I think 10 is the minimum. If you post the question in it's own thread, though, you'll probably get a lot more responses that way :)

I'm sorry. I did not knew there is a thread about this.
A doctor confirmed it can be made at 6-7 weeks. They also do it in their hospital and it costs 700€. Pretty expansive.

Hm I have only heard of it being done at 10-12 weeks range, in US and UK and so until I see/hear more about that, I'd stick with that range. :)
