DIET
Did you follow a diet plan?
Yes, for over 2 years. Started eating breakfast, having health snacks and more nutritious food overall
If yes to diet, which one did you most follow?
HE(High Everything)
Comments regarding DW's diet changes-
I think having a prior pregnancy/raising a child helped me as I paid more attention to what/when I ate and what I fed my daughter. I was not always rushing to work, and started having breakfast, carrying snacks with me and having a more nutritious diet overall
If diet was used, length of time before attempt?
2.5 years
Did you skip breakfast regularly?
No
Did DH change his diet with you?
He ate what I ate; more red meat, eggs, whole milk and cereal, fruit & veg smoothies, nuts
Comments regarding DH's diet-
He does not drink coffee but recently started having black tea in the mornings
DId you consume alcohol?
No
DId you try to limit caffeine?
Half cup coffee and one cup black tea
Any Diet Details?
Getting a good blender also helped me take in lots of greens, mostly spinach, fruit with a handful of almonds and a TBS of ground flax. I used to drink this almost everyday
Any Diet Comments/Additional Info?
Tried to eat whole, organic food. Used coconut, olive and grass fed butter in cooking!
WEIGHT AND EXERCISE
What did you weigh/BMI do leading up to O?
165
Any Weight/Exercise related additional info/comments?
I definitely gained weight over the last 6 months even though I was in the gym 2-3 times a week. Mostly doing weights
THINGS in VG and CONCEPTION DATE(CD) INFO
August 11-13 2016. I was not expecting to try that month due to recent allergy issues. I was on a low dose of zyrtec and was told I had low Vit D levels by my dr. But my husband convinced me to "go for it" and it worked out!

Any VG potions used?
Preseed
CM pH at attempt

DH pH

THE DEED INFO
How many BD attempts did you make for the BFP cycle?
2
BD Pattern
I used the flashing smiley OPK. We had an attempt the night of my first flashing smiley (Thursday) and another on Saturday morning. I had a solid smiley on Sunday morning, which indicates ovulation and we tried again on Monday but I used too much preseed and hubby did not like it
BD Dates according to Ovulation
2 Days Before O
BD Position
Missionary both times
Any additional comments?
I am almost confident we conceived on the first attempt. I felt strange movements soon after DTD and could feel VERY early symptoms a couple days later. But we still had another attempt that Saturday
Any relevant attempt details?
Our first attempt was spontaneous
-
Did you do anything with Ions?
-laptop use
Moon Phase during conception?
new moon
Did you use any Old Wives Tales?
-my PH was high soon after BFP; could feel baby on my right side from the very beginning
Things that make me feel great about my sway:
gained weight, lifted weights, took vitamins, was on diet long term
Things that make me nervous about my sway:
allergy issues, meds
Things worth mentioning:
When I first discovered this site, I was pregnant with my daughter. Everything I read made complete sense to me about maternal state and how girls are more likely to survive in a "poor state". I never ate before getting pregnant with my daughter! Maybe one real meal per day. AND doing that did not help with weight loss! It was just how I was, I guess lazy about eating? So it all hit me and I changed my lifestyle not just to conceive a boy but to be healthier overall for the child that I do have and any future children! So I am just happy for being healthier now and for getting my baby boy to complete our family! Thank you Atomic!!
