normally at 24.3
I lost a total of 18 lbs, 4 the month of bfpI did exercise every day. I tried to do 30 min of cardio although some days I only did 15. This is not the recommended amount but was a huge change for me as all exercise I did previously was muscle building and I knew I was at my maximum muscle amt. pre-sway. Through diet and exercise I lost most my muscle, so I felt this worked for me.THINGS in VG and CONCEPTION DATE(CD) INFO

Any additional supplement info?Due to my age I felt it necessary to include other vitamins. First few months I did a prenatal, then researched and switched to vitamin a, calcium, magnesium, zinc, coQ10. I normally take a multivitamin and get a lot of nutrients through food, so this was still a declining maternal condition for me. I took baby aspirin 3 times a week and 1600 folic acid every day. Also since I was not ttc in Dec., I took vitex all month and then af-o during bfp month.Did you do anything with Ions?
DH also took DHA, coQ10, and a multivitamin.well, I'm not a believer but I did have lavender oil to help sleep and I had received lavender soap for x-mas, so inadvertently yes.Moon Phase during conception?Waxing CrescentDid you use any Old Wives Tales?noThings that make me feel great about my sway:I think the vitex for a month and a half straight got me my bfp. My testosterone levels dropped noticeably, and everything was very different from normal for me. Also had a lot of stress from sicknesses and death in my family.Things that make me nervous about my sway:I really think I would enjoy either way, so I wasn't nervous for gender, but more health. I think I would be more upset that I didn't get to eat pizza for 4 months and then not hear girl. Baby tested negative for 3 trisomies including downs, and knew gender by 12 weeks thanks to MaterniT21 test!Things worth mentioning:-Last edited by strawberrymom; June 28th, 2013 at 03:53 PM.

Strawberrymom, I was curious about getting the MaterniT21 test. Did your doc offer simply because you are AMA? A local friend of mine has 2 friends that found out gender at 12 weeks through MaterniT21...said it was a part of their 1st Tri Screen bloodwork. Did you have to ask for it? I am 36, so AMA as well.
