DIET
Did you follow a diet plan?
Yes
If yes to diet, which one did you most follow? HE(High Everything)
Comments regarding DW's diet changes-
Switched from a primarily acidic diet to a 80:20 alkalizing to acidic ratio, aiming for closer to 90:10 alkalizing diet but was not perfect. NO dairy , no white bread, no processed sugar. I added cinnamon to everything possible, honey and maple syrup as sweeteners. Increased protein intake and if I felt hungry I ate immediately until full. Was trying to gain weight by eating foods rich with good fats but didn't gain.
If diet was used, length of time before attempt?
About a month and half - 2 months for diet, fertilitea was only drank for 1 week prior to af of previous cycle until bfp, then weaned from triple strength cup a day to none in a week and half after bfp.
Did you skip breakfast regularly?

Did DH change his diet with you?
No

How many BD attempts did you make for the BFP cycle?
Pull out baby conceived directly on O day!
BD Pattern BD every few days
BD Dates according to Ovulation O day only
BD Position
Doggy style
Any additional comments?
We DTD pretty regular but had not for 3 days prior to o, and then directly on o day (temp shift confirmed 3 days later) at night only. DH took care of himself the days prior, except for the night directly before conception, so really no cutoff. Was not ttc but not using bc or condoms, only PO method and was prepping sway to be hardcore for when ready to ttc only to find out I ended up with a bfp @ 12dpo in my first true cycle of diet change/fertilitea
Any relevant attempt details?
Drank fertilitea triple strength for a full cycle. ingredients are vitex, red rasberry leaf, green tea, ladies mantle, & nettle leaf, all of which boost fertility and I've seen a theory somewhere about anything that boosts fertility likely sways boy
The tea helped me to ovulate a full 14 days earlier than the previous cycle, and 3 days earlier than my "avg" ovulation date from the last 6 cycles! I've seen somewhere around here that ovulating earlier in your cycle than your average o date sways boy, which goes along with anything boosting fertility sways boy.
Biorhythym for my ovulation date for BOTH dh and I is at HIGH boy! Biorhythm was correct with dd for both DH and I as well.
I completely cut out dairy except for nice fatty heavy cream. Instead as part of my alkalizing diet I drank almond and coconut milk, alternated or a 50/50 mix.
And lastly, we didn't DTD for about 3 days prior to o and then DTD the NIGHT of o day (confirmed by bbt 3 days later). I've decided I believe shettles is the weakest way to sway, but included with everything else I think it might be significant? Also, DH took care of himself the 3 days prior to o that we did not DTD, so no cut off.
Did you do anything with Ions?
Not in particular but used cell phone often with close to abdomen
Moon Phase during conception?
Waning Gibbous
Did you use any Old Wives Tales?

Things that make me feel great about my sway:
Mostly that it happened on an extremely short cycle for me, 32 days compared to the
previous 48 day cycle. Also feel my alkalizing diet was strong at time of conception.
Things that make me nervous about my sway:
Diet could have been more strict , I did slip up one day and binge on chocolate! I also would have cut out caffeine 100% if I had known I was going to conceive, would have liked to gain a few lbs before bfp.
Things worth mentioning:
Had a strong bfp at 12dpo on walmart cheapie, ovulated 14 days earlier than previous cycle, biorhythym is at high boy for both DH and I on day of conception and was high girl for both at time of conception with dd.
