Comments regarding DW's diet changes-
I tried to stay between 1300-1500 calories and didn't overdo it on fat and protein. I didn't count fat/protein/carbs etc. I ate meat probably 3 or so times a week. I occasionally skipped breakfast but more often just had a late breakfast. Still at least 12 hours at night/morning where I didn't eat.
If diet was used, length of time before attempt?
I've been on the diet since the beginning of August/end of July, so 6-8 weeks.
Did you skip breakfast regularly?
No
Did DH change his diet with you?
Yes
Comments regarding DH's diet-
He ate what I cooked, so sort of. He definitely had less meat than normal.
DId you consume alcohol? No
DId you try to limit caffeine?
No, I did not factor that into my sway

Did you Jump and Dump? No
Any relevant attempt details?
DH released as needed and we did one attempt at positive opk.
SUPPLEMENTS USED
DW Supplements Baby asprin
folic acid
DH Supplements Licorice Root
Any additional supplement info?
I also took:
NAC (I have to for my dry eyes, it thankfully does NOT up my CM)
Iron for anemia
Soy Isoflavones from cd 3-7 to move forward ovulation and increase LP. (It seemed to work!)
DH also took OLE
Did you do anything with Ions?
I use lavender EO... but not for ions, I just like the scent. ;)
Moon Phase during conception?
Waning Gibbous
Did you use any Old Wives Tales?
Girl outfit under the bed. ;) I figured it couldn't hurt.
Things that make me feel great about my sway:
Good sups, one attempt, decent diet.
Things that make me nervous about my sway:
I feel as though walking wasn't intense enough to sway as exercise.
Things worth mentioning:
This was my first cycle with soy isoflavones.
Update, we're officially expecting a healthy BOY! :) Our preference was only slight, so thankfully we're just happy that he's healthy and aren't dealing with any gender disappointment. <3
