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!

Congrats!!

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".

2 weeks before. Keep in mind that many people think they actually sway blue and WANT to be on them for their sway. OPK are fallible. We use them because it's the best technology we have, but...
