Did you purchase and follow a GD Personalized Plan? Yes
DIET
Did you follow a diet plan? Yes. If yes to diet, which one did you most follow? LE (Low Everything)
Comments regarding DW's diet changes- Started with skipping breakfast around December 2019. After our holiday in August I was on the heavy side for my likings and I started with cutting down calories, especially from fat and proteïne and stopped snacking.
If diet was used, length of time before attempt? I was on the diet for 16 weeks.
Did you skip breakfast regularly? Yes, always.
Did DH change his diet with you? He started drinking soy milk 2-3 glasses a day and took calcium magnesium supplements. He went vegetarian with me.
Comments regarding DH's diet- DH loves meat but went vegetarian with me. He prepared all my meals wich was very sweet. He was really in it with me.
Did you consume alcohol? Yes, daily. That was a big change for me. But in the end I really liked it.
Did you try to limit caffeine?
No, I had two black coffee every morning
Any Diet Details?
Drank a lot of diet soda to fill me up. No supplements. Ate two times a day. Big bowls of salade with some cheese, topped it off with rice cakes and (sugarfree) candy. One fullfat cappuccino a day. It was a strange and boring eating pattern.
Any Diet Comments/Additional Info?
Had around 4-5 cheat days were I went way over the limits. I was really fed up with the diet because O went missing. The sugarfree candy helped with te metabolism :).
WEIGHT AND EXERCISE
What did you weigh/BMI do leading up to O?
I weighed about 62 kilo before starting the diet. I dropped about 7 kilo in 16 weeks.
Any Weight/Exercise related additional info/comments?
I exercised every day preferably on a empty stomach for about 60 minutes by walking on the treadmill or outside. Maybe skipped 4 days of those 16 weeks. Excercising was a really hard part of the sway for me. Took a lot of my time.
How many BD attempts did you make for the BFP cycle? 1
BD Dates according to Ovulation: 1 Days Before O
Any additional comments? Had a clear LH surge on CD 18. Had O on cycle day 19-20 I guess.
THE DEED INFO
BD Position Missionary
Did you Jump and Dump? Yes after 7 minutes or so.
Any relevant attempt details? Didn't go with abstain or frequent release but BD E4D. That kept it fun for us.
SUPPLEMENTS USED
DW Supplements: Clomid 50mg (not for pcos)
DH Supplements: Calcium and Magnesium
Any additional supplement info? I start with fiber supplements but got constipated using them. Ate lots of veggies instead.
Things that make me feel great about my sway: My cycles really changed on the diet. I had a spot on cycle of 27-28 days. But it changed to 45 days the first two months which I wasn't happy about at the time because I could'nt find O. My AF also changed from heavy to light and short. Is also started in the morning wich I never had. I conceived first time on clomid. Was very relaxed the month we conceived because I decided to quit our attempt after this one. I was on my lowest adult weight. When dieting and weeks went by, I got more and more at peace with accepting a boy. Not that I cheated, but noticed I became at ease with the thought.
Things that make me nervous about my sway: We'll of course the cheats. I sometimes stretched my dinners. Also I wasn't good in the TWW because I decided to quit with diet. But I guess it was already decided by then. Things that I find difficult to believe is that we can make a girl. Especially because my two boys are born in the same month that I am due right now. But I know that's a silly thought.
Things worth mentioning: I was relaxed when we conceived and still am. What we made was made with love.
