Any additional supplement info?
DH took multivitamins sporadically
DW too multivitamins every day, the same A-Z as DH with no megadoses.
DW Fish oil: could only find 550mg so took less often than every other day, was sometimes eating fish anyway so skipped any extra dose then.
Also took acidophilus capsules (probiotic)
Took guafenesin - liquid cough mixture in lead up to O. Not sure how much difference it made to EWCM but it was present anyway.
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-
Full fat milk used, put in english black tea and added to oats for breakfast daily.
(Prior to TTC have eaten oats most breakfast times but with semi skim milk)
Increased intake of fruit and vegetables - Id say more that 6 pieces of fruit a day.
Continued to eat meat and carbs, increased carbs with lunch to include ryvita.
Sometimes snacked on fruit, nut and seed mix. Sometimes so full from the heartiness of main meals that I felt my blood sugar was level and was not at all hungry for a snack.
Drank a lot of water. Also drank some lemon water.
Lunch has always been a salad with dark green and purple leaves, cheese, meat, and cucumber/tomato/bell peppers etc etc.
If diet was used, length of time before attempt?
Baseline of what I think is a naturally HE diet, plus extra concentration applied to diet for 6 weeks
Use of full fat milk didn't start for 1-2 weeks, but had semi-skim before this.
Did you skip breakfast regularly?
No
Did DH change his diet with you?
No
Comments regarding DH's diet-
big meat eater
DId you consume alcohol? A couple of drinks per week
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?
BMI about 26-27
Any Weight/Exercise related additional info/comments?
Exercise: walking often, moderate intensity
Did weight training a few times a week as time allowed - used dumbbells but also bodyweight exercises such as squats.
Have never been a fan of intense cardio, thats not me at all. Much prefer walking and strengthening.
THINGS in VG and CONCEPTION DATE(CD) INFO
pH Before Starting a Sway Program, if known
not known
Any VG potions used? NO
CM pH at attempt
not known
DH pH
not known
THE DEED INFO
How many BD attempts did you make for the BFP cycle?
3
BD Pattern BD every few days
BD Dates according to Ovulation
-
BD Position
Multiple
Any additional comments?
BD: got positive OPK then DTD that night, then the next day afternoon and night.
BD position was I think more like a deep missionary
Any relevant attempt details?
First 2 attempts saved the big female O until after DH but then for the 3rd attempt wasnt feeling that anymore so went for big female O before and after DH.
Did you do anything with Ions?
is that when you keep your mobile phone next to your bed because thats where it lives anyway?
Moon Phase during conception?
-
Did you use any Old Wives Tales?
no
Things that make me feel great about my sway:
I already have a boy so hopefully my body is naturally inclined that way. Certainly if I read the information about TTC pink, my lifestyle is nothing like that as I dont skip breakfast, cant eat in the sort of way that allows my blood sugar to drop, and hate intense cardio.
I think I followed the TTC blue ideas fairly well and in doing so increased my chances which were already naturally orientated that way.
Things that make me nervous about my sway:
Overweight DH > DW
Didnt follow everything perfectly coz sometimes life gets in the way, dont think the 'BD every few days' was as strict as it should have been
Things worth mentioning:
Also got involved with playing mario kart tour online daily which involves racing and competing!
