beachbunni307 TTC a GIRL Sway Attempt
It has been confirmed at our 19 week ultrasound that we are having a little girl. I am so beyond excited!! Thank you so much Atomic, and all of the rest of you wonderful ladies who have answered questions or offered support and encouragement. I am over the moon right now...I can't stop smiling.
TTC a Girl Sway AttemptGender Result:GIRLDW Age:30DH Age:38Current Children's Gender(s)Boy - 19 MonthsNumber of Months TTC1Did 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 was on a low calorie weight loss diet for 4 months before starting an LEish diet starting 6 weeks before attempt. I followed the principals and watched levels, but I did NOT cut out white meat or fish, and I also did not limit sodium. I did have occasional "cheats" when I was over limits (especially protein), but mostly I did pretty good.If diet was used, length of time before attempt?
Also, I only skipped breakfast during the 2WW because I was exercising in the mornings and had to eat.LE was 6 weeks before attempt, but I was on a low calorie weight loss diet (and lost 20 lbs) during the 4 months before starting LE diet.Did you skip breakfast regularly?NoDid DH change his diet with you?NoComments regarding DH's diet-Did not change a thingDId you consume alcohol?- A couple of drinks per week
DId you try to limit caffeine?No, I did not factor that into my swayAny Diet Details?Cut out red meat and stayed as close to nutrient limits as possible. I drank water, diet pepsi, crystal light, pep tea. (AF-O) Ate a lot of cucumber, salad, and pasta.Any Diet Comments/Additional Info?I found the diet difficult. I was working out, therefore burning 500-550 calories per day, which meant I had to eat more, which made it really difficult to stay under protein limits. I was really hoping for a BFP on the first try just so I didn't have to continue the diet. Plus, I didn't want to choke down peppermint tea any longer.WEIGHT AND EXERCISE
What did you weigh/BMI do leading up to O?127 at O. Lost 30 lbs total in the 5 months before TTC (weight loss diet plus LE diet at the end).Any Weight/Exercise related additional info/comments?Cardio for 60 Min, 5 days per week.THINGS in VG and CONCEPTION DATE(CD) INFO
pH Before Starting a Sway Program, if knownUnknownAny VG potions used?- NO
CM pH at attempt5.5DH pHUnknownHow many BD attempts did you make for the BFP cycle?1BD Dates according to Ovulation- 2 Days Before O
Any additional comments?I meant to do BD 1 day before O, but happened to use OPK that night, got a positive, and jumped the gun a little bit. I knew we caught the very beginning of the surge and considered doing it again the next day (also positive OPK), but I really wanted to stick with one attempt, so I just made mental notes of what to do differently if we had to try again the next month.THE DEED INFO
We also did abstain, which I know is not recommended for his age, but we did it anyway. I guess he has super sperm because it worked anyway.
DH Info about Swimmers- Abstained
BD PositionMissionaryDid you Jump and Dump?- No
Any relevant attempt details?I laid in bed after attempt for about 15-20 minutes, then got up to go to the bathroom.SUPPLEMENTS USED
DW Supplements- Baby asprin
- folic acid
- Fiber
- Antihistamine
DH Supplements-Any additional supplement info?I chose fiber gummies, and took 2 baby asprin per week.Did you do anything with Ions?noMoon Phase during conception?New MoonDid you use any Old Wives Tales?I bought a dress and had it in my dresser drawer, but I forgot to put it under the bed.Things that make me feel great about my sway:I feel good about my exercise and our one attempt, and my 30 lb weight loss. I also felt very calm and confident in my plan and was not stressing about our attempt.Things that make me nervous about my sway:I did just OK with diet, and fell off the wagon around O, because hubs was home on vacation from work and threw me off my routine.Things worth mentioning:Overall, I really felt very confident in our plan and am very hopeful to give birth to a little girl in July.Last edited by beachbunni307; February 21st, 2014 at 05:15 PM.

Great, great sway, hun! You're so lucky to have a bfp first month trying! It makes that you had full six weeks exercising before attempt, which is awesome! Fingers crossed for a pink bundle!

It's better to look back on life and say: "I can't believe I did that" than to look back and say "I wish I did that".
