cvd TTC a GIRL sway attempt - updated: BOY
TTC a Girl Sway AttemptWe found out today at 17+4 that we are having a baby boy. Thank you to everyone on this site for all the info and support through my swaying journey. I still feel I did the best I could with my sway personally and this little guy was just meant to be since he made it through. Xo!

Drank a glass of soy milk every day.DId you consume alcohol?- No
DId you try to limit caffeine?Yes, I cutbackAny Diet Details?Followed the LE diet with about 1200 cals, I came here from IG so I still had some things stuck in my head like low sodium and low potassium. Very limited meat (maybe ate a tiny portion of chicken once a week, BIG change for me).Any Diet Comments/Additional Info?I had a couple cheats, I still tried to make it so I stayed in my cal range though even if I snuck in some cheese pizza lolWEIGHT AND EXERCISE
What did you weigh/BMI do leading up to O?Before the diet I was 118, by our attempt I was 112! I am only 5 foot so that was a good loss for me, I really didn't want to go any further!Any Weight/Exercise related additional info/comments?I was doing "bootcamps" 5 times a week before ttc so I lost a lot of muscle mass and completely stopped working out as soon as we started the diet.THINGS in VG and CONCEPTION DATE(CD) INFO

Any additional comments?Attempt details below.THE DEED INFO
I used a finger of rephresh a few hours before the first attempt and third attempt.
DH Info about Swimmers- Abstained
- DTD through Ovulation
BD PositionMissionaryDid you Jump and Dump?- No
Any relevant attempt details?I edited this section to clarify on my multiple attempts with an abstain, as it is usually recommended to only do 1 attempt with an abstain! Our first attempt was about 8 hours after +opk, DH accidentally pulled out because he got nervous LOL!! So 2 hours later we did another attempt but literally NOTHING came out. Worried we didn't get any swimmers, the next day I had DH release in the shower then not even 3 hours later we had another attempt, not much came out this time either, DH had a hard time in the first place.SUPPLEMENTS USED
[]
DW Supplements- Baby asprin
- folic acid
- acidophiles
- Antihistamine
DH Supplements- Licorice Root
- Cranberry
- acidophiles
Any additional supplement info?Took an antihistamine a couple hours before our first attempt, never took it again after that!Did you do anything with Ions?Yes, I came from IG and had already gotten all into the ions lol. So I had a salt rock lamp, ionic air purifier, lavender diffusers, lavender soap and body lotion, rose quartz jewellery, windows open, fans on, beeswax candles.Moon Phase during conception?Waning GibbousDid you use any Old Wives Tales?Girl outfit under the bed.Things that make me feel great about my sway:We really did our best to follow the diet,and I did the best I could with everything else but still wanted to make sure I had a high chance of pregnancy! This attempt is literally the EXACT opposite of when we conceived DS!!!Things that make me nervous about my sway:Maybe I was a little too impatient - wasn't on the diet for more then 6 weeks as recommended. Other then that nothing really makes me nervous!!Things worth mentioning:I am so thankful that my DH was right on board and wanted to be a part of everything, that definitely helped me get through dieting. Just excited to have a happy & healthy baby!!!Last edited by cvd; January 2nd, 2013 at 10:03 AM.
