I was very strict with the diet until the last month. In the last month I allowed a little more calories, protein and fat- although all were still within the diet limits but at the upper limit.
In regards to alcohol, I rarely had a drink in the first 5 months of ttc. In the last month, I had a few drinks on some of the days around ovulation.

DId you try to limit caffeine?No, I drink caffeine regularlyAny Diet Details?Several coffees a day. It got me through to lunchtime for my first meal.Any Diet Comments/Additional Info?
I really enjoy a coffee or two in the morning, so I wasn't giving this up.
I figured it would also help to decrease fertility.-WEIGHT AND EXERCISE
What did you weigh/BMI do leading up to O?BMI 17.5 at O.Any Weight/Exercise related additional info/comments?
I struggled to keep weight on when on the diet.
I lost over 10 pounds on the diet. In the month of BFP I actually loosened up on the diet, sticking to the higher end of the limits. I actually put on just under a pound, which makes me nervous.Couch potato!THINGS in VG and CONCEPTION DATE(CD) INFO
I did moderate exercise while ttc both of my boys. I didn't think I could realistically do the exercise needed to sway girl so went with couch potato.
I have had significant muscle shrinkage. My tummy feels flabby. I feel so weak and unhealthy!
DH started to exercise regularly when I was pregnant with DS2. 5-6 times a week of high intensity cardio. He has never been this lean and fit in our 11 years together.

Aspirin 75mg
Folic Acid 1600mg
Zyrtec for several days before O and through O due to allergies, but I was also obviously aware it could help sway. I wouldn't have taken the Zyrtec if I didn't have Allergies due to taking Clomid and possibly swaying too hard, but the allergies were bad!
DH took 50 000mg of Cranberry AF-O.I wore a Rose Quartz bracelet. I don't really think it swayed at all but it was a pretty reminder of what I was trying to achieve.Moon Phase during conception?
I had Lavendar oil baths often but only because they were relaxing, not actually to sway.First QuarterDid you use any Old Wives Tales?NoThings that make me feel great about my sway:Clomid!Things that make me nervous about my sway:
Being on the diet for so long.
Significant muscle shrinkage and weight loss from diet.
Zyrtec
DH on high dose of Cranberry.I gained a small amount of weight (just under a pound) in the month of BFP after losing too much weight. This makes me very nervous.Things worth mentioning:
I loosened up on the diet in the month of BFP, although I also know that this may be the very reason this month was successful.
More than 1 attempt, although this had not worked for us in previous months.
I wished I had used rephresh prior to the attempts at O-1 and O.I prayed a lot.
I feel like I have done everything I can to sway in the direction of a Girl.
If its a boy baking in there, then that is what God has planned for me and that is what he knows that I need.
After having a chemical miscarriage 2 months ago, I'm now praying this one sticks!
We have had the morphology scan and have found out that we are expecting another little boy. Whilst I can't wait to meet our newest little boy, a part of me is sad that the chance to have a daughter is now gone.Last edited by QOTD; September 8th, 2013 at 10:20 AM. Reason: Update!

1st and only cycle with SIRM dallas: Canceled due to low response. Only 2 follicles. Dr. does not recommend another cycle and we do not have the heart nor the funds for a second opinion.
