Dreamofpink TTC a GIRL Sway Attempt
TTC a Girl Sway AttemptGender Result:BoyDW Age:30DH Age:31Current Children's Gender(s)Boy - 5 yrsNumber of Months TTC
Boy - 3 yrs12-18Did you purchase and follow a GD Personalized Plan?NoDIET
Did you follow a diet plan?YesIf yes to diet, which one did you most follow?- LE(Low Everything)
Comments regarding DW's diet changes-I did the IG diet for 8 months before giving it up and finding this site. After a 4 month break from diets I did the LE diet very strictly for 8 months. I always skipped breakfast, ate 3 meals between 12pm-9pm and never snacked. I only had meat once during the time that I was on the diet and ate a lot of processed diet foods to keep the nutrient levels to a minimum. I dranks diet pepsi a lot, although not during the month that I conceived. I went from weighing almost 11st to 8st 3lb. I actually stopped ovulation 2 months before my bfp and gained 2lb in the month that I conceived as I was on Clomid and had to get pregnant asap.If diet was used, length of time before attempt?8 months, mostly very strict but I had to ease up a little in the last two months as I started Clomid and had to get pregnant asap.Did you skip breakfast regularly?YesDid DH change his diet with you?NoComments regarding DH's diet-He put on about half a stone to a full stone (7-14lb) in the time leading up to my bfp and ate a lot of rubbish like biscuits, etc.DId you consume alcohol?- No
DId you try to limit caffeine?No, I did not factor that into my swayAny Diet Details?I didn't factor caffeine into my sway as I don't drink coffee anyway. However, I didn't give a thought to the amount in the diet Pepsi that I drank! I never usually drink it so I think the change can only be a good thing as I've never been a great consumer of caffeine anyway.Any Diet Comments/Additional Info?After doing the IG diet, the LE diet was a real eye-opener. It was possible to live like a normal person and I ate out a few times and thanks to some pub's 500 cal veggie meals I didn't even need to stress about it. I was a very strict dieter and lost around 2 1/2 stone altogether. I have not been this thin since I was a teenager and found it too easy to lose the weight on this diet. I really took the teenage girl veggie diet idea to heart and it made food choices a lot easier. I ate sooo much Weight Watchers sauces, readymeals, cake, rice cakes, low-fat crisps, diet yoghurt and generally a lot of diet foods that fitted within my limits. I also ate a lot of sweets too. I did not count sodium after about the fourth month of dieting.WEIGHT AND EXERCISE
What did you weigh/BMI do leading up to O?8st 5lb (BMI - 18.8)Any Weight/Exercise related additional info/comments?I drove everywhere and became a real couch potato.THINGS in VG and CONCEPTION DATE(CD) INFO
pH Before Starting a Sway Program, if knownNot knownAny VG potions used?- NO
CM pH at attemptNot KnownDH pHNot knownHow many BD attempts did you make for the BFP cycle?5BD Dates according to Ovulation- 4 Days Before O
- 1 Day Before O
- O Day
Any additional comments?I was on Clomid and believe that I ov'd on cd20 which would only make the attempts on cd19/20 relevant as a cut-off does NOT work for us. This was backed up by an opk+ on cd19 and a progesterone test on cd28. However, when I had my 12 week scan the dates agreed with my LMP which would've made ov around cd14 instead. I still don't see how this is possible as I had a very faint BFP at 10dpo, which I believe should've been stronger if I had ov'd on cd14. My prog levels were very low on cd21 too suggesting that I ov'd on cd20. However, the baby was measuring 6 days ahead of my dates so I really don't know! We bd'd on cd12, 14, 16, 19 & 20 altogether.THE DEED INFO
DH Info about Swimmers- BD every few days
BD PositionMissionaryDid you Jump and Dump?- No
Any relevant attempt details?No Big O at all - I had minimal libidoSUPPLEMENTS USED
DW Supplements- Clomid
DH Supplements-Any additional supplement info?I used Saw Palmetto for the first four months of being on the LE diet.Did you do anything with Ions?NoMoon Phase during conception?New MoonDid you use any Old Wives Tales?Baby girl outfit under our mattressThings that make me feel great about my sway:Clomid, massive weight loss during the 7 months prior to my bfp, very little EWCM throughout my fertile time, loss of 'fight' within me - felt very downtrodden and like nothing was worth any effort as 'it wouldn't work anyway.' Conceived in a 'girl-friendly' month, after an awful summer 2012 with very little sunshine.Things that make me nervous about my sway:The 2lb weight gain essential for getting pregnant that month. Eating scrambled eggs on toast about 3 times a week in the lead up to ov and generally increasing my cals just to start ov again.Things worth mentioning:From June 2011 - March 2012, I was on a strict IG diet using a cut-off. I dropped the diet but carried on with the cut-off until August 2012 when I found this site. I threw myself wholeheartedly into the LE diet and finally got my BFP in March 2013 on my second round of Clomid. I felt a real change in my character from Christmas 2012 onwards and the Clomid exacerbated my low mood. The summer in the UK last year was awful, so I didn't get very much exposure to the sun.Last edited by Dreamofpink; August 1st, 2013 at 07:02 PM. Reason: update

I would like to 2nd what Ladybugs said! It's ok to be disappointed and sad too! Having a dream put on hold can really sting. Especially in the newness of it all. Your grace will be rewarded and your new little man is going to be brilliant and love his mommy!!!!! Take the time you need to go thru it all. We are here when you need to have a moment or two or three! (((Hugs)))
