WEIGHT AND EXERCISE
What did you weigh/BMI do leading up to O?

I'm 5'1. Lost 4 lbs before O on diet and weight 116.5 lbs at my attempt. My lowest pre conception weight ever!

Any Weight/Exercise related additional info/comments?

Stopped doing light weights and Cardio 2 weeks before O. Also stopped the relaxing yoga 2 weeks before O. I noticed a major decrease in muscle by O time. Didn't have much to begin with but it reduced greatly.

Any VG potions used?

• RePhresh

CM pH at attempt

Between 4.7 and 5.0. Ewcm ph was 5.0. Right after attempt ph went to around 7 but then dropped shortly after

DH pH

Not sure

How many BD attempts did you make for the BFP cycle?

Got my BFP at 3:30 pm. Dh released that morning. We dtd shortly after but he pulled out a second into the release so this was mostly a pull out attempt. Dtd that night ( so third time dh released that day). I was on top, stayed on top till he was done

BD Dates according to Ovulation

• O Day

Any additional comments?

See I'm not sure. I put O day cause it seems to make the most sense. Had Ewcm that day. Got my + opk at 3:30 in the afternoon on that Saturday. I think I O'ed sometime in the middle of the night ( so technically on Sunday). We dtd at 9:45 on Sat night. Could have O'ed
On Sunday during the day as I did have some Ewcm in the afternoon but only noticed it once. Cm was way thicker than normal.

DH Supplements

Any additional supplement info?

I took a baby aspirin day of attempt. Weaned off starting at 4 dpo. Did repHresh every 3 days starting at end of AF to get my body used to it. Used 1/2 app repHresh 11 hours before attempt and rubbed the rest on me like lube. Took 1/2 benedril week of O each night. Took 1/2 benedril 30 mim before attempt and another 1/2 benedril 30 min after. I think I O'ed in the middle
Of the night after my attempt. We dtd at 9:45 pm that night. So I think he benedril did wonder. Also the repHresh. Cm was very thick and woke up no Ewcm.

Did you do anything with Ions?

*Ions: *rock salt lamps, plants, lavender, personalized neg ion, wall neg ion, fans, north pole
Magnets, anion pads, neg ion jewlery and ki flow bracelets, went to beach a lot ( always sunblock), rained week of O, hot mist humidifier, summer time

Moon Phase during conception?

Full Moon

Did you use any Old Wives Tales?

No

Things that make me feel great about my sway:

The repHresh I used and the baby aspirin and benedril that I took. Taking 1/2 benedril before and 1/2 benedril after my attempt really helped. Also doing J and D and SEM right after attempt. Got pregnant very beginning of august instead of having to go into the more boy friendly
Months of sept, Oct, and nov. Cm was the thickest it's ever been. And even though o had some Ewcm, the ph was still 5.0. Didn't stress too much about attempt. Lost weight week of O. Diet is girl friendly to begin with.

Things that make me nervous about my sway:

Was only On diet for 2 weeks as that is when I decided to sway. Got a lot of sun as our sway was in august. But my vit D levels are on the lower side anyway. Only stopped gym 2 weeks before sway. But didn't have much muscle anyway and most was lost by time of sway.

Things worth mentioning:

Was weaning of low dose antidepressants week of ovulation. Definitely lowered testosterone levels as my Big O's were horrible and even a few months later they are still not back to normal. Was going to use some
Spermicide but didn't get around to getting it before attempt. Plus didn't want to lower chances to much as I did a lot of other things to sway

Oh gosh, just checking this now and lots of views but no responses...hopefully that's not a bad sign!! Haha

[myGirl]

Congratulations!! I was a little confused on whether this is just a sway attempt or a post of your sway after you got your BFP.

Wishing you a H&H 9 months!

[auroara78]

congrats babydust!! can't wait till you find out! will u be finding out before birth?

[mariposa]

congrats again!!! Wish you hear pink!

[mydream]

Congrats on your BFP!!!!

[babydust]

Thanks girls! . Yeah I think I will be finding out. I ideally want to wait but I just don't think I can. Haha. I think I had a better sway then with my DD but who knows. I think diet was longer with her ( followed IG diet at the time). But was more relaxed this time which I think sways girl since it lowers T levels. I also did a lot more Supps and Jelly's before the actual sway this time. But either way I'm just happy to be having a third baby to add to our family!!
