    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 Attempt
    Gender Result:
    GIRL
    DW Age:
    30
    DH Age:
    38
    Current Children's Gender(s)
    Boy - 19 Months
    Number of Months TTC
    1
    Did you purchase and follow a GD Personalized Plan?
    No
    DIET
    Did you follow a diet plan?
    Yes
    If 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.

    Also, I only skipped breakfast during the 2WW because I was exercising in the mornings and had to eat.
    If diet was used, length of time before attempt?
    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?
    No
    Did DH change his diet with you?
    No
    Comments regarding DH's diet-
    Did not change a thing
    DId you consume alcohol?
    • A couple of drinks per week


    DId you try to limit caffeine?
    No, I did not factor that into my sway
    Any 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 known
    Unknown
    Any VG potions used?
    • NO


    CM pH at attempt
    5.5
    DH pH
    Unknown
    How many BD attempts did you make for the BFP cycle?
    1
    BD 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.
    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.
    THE DEED INFO
    DH Info about Swimmers
    • Abstained


    BD Position
    Missionary
    Did 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?
    no
    Moon Phase during conception?
    New Moon
    Did 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.

    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!!
