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?
Comments regarding DW's diet changes- I was just coming off of a diet that was high in protein and low in carbs (in which I lost around 25 pounds), and had started a gradual transition to LE (we were going to wait to sway for another couple of months, so I thought I had time).
If diet was used, length of time before attempt? Around 3 weeks, and it was a very loose version of LE.
Did you skip breakfast regularly? No
Did DH change his diet with you? No
Comments regarding DH's diet- He was consuming drinks with aspartame throughout the day, but that's really it.
DId you consume alcohol?- A couple of drinks per week
DId you try to limit caffeine? No, I drink caffeine regularly
Any Diet Details? I had been really good about skipping breakfast until the week of our attempt, because, like I said, we hadn't planned on attempting until last minute and I had just started a new job. I wasn't able to snack at all and was eating carb dense breakfasts and salads for lunch.

WEIGHT AND EXERCISE
What did you weigh/BMI do leading up to O? -
Any Weight/Exercise related additional info/comments? I had planned on doing the exercise route, but then I got a new job so it never worked out. I walk and climb stairs all day at work - I hope it was enough.
THINGS in VG and CONCEPTION DATE(CD) INFO

DH pH -
How many BD attempts did you make for the BFP cycle? 1
BD Dates according to Ovulation
Any additional comments? I am new to using OPK's, and thought we got a positive, so we BD that night and it turned crazy positive the next day, so I'm pretty sure our attempt was 1 or even 2 days before I O'ed.
THE DEED INFO
DH Info about Swimmers
BD Position Missionary
Did you Jump and Dump?
Any relevant attempt details? My hubby "releases" every few days if we've not had sex, so I don't know when the last time prior to our attempt was. I did J&D, but I did lay there for a few minutes first because my husband mentioned it being a "small" emission.
SUPPLEMENTS USED
DW Supplements- Vitex
- folic acid
- Fiber
- Antihistamine
- Saw Palmetto
DH Supplements -
Any additional supplement info? I had just come off of the BCP in June. DH was on OLE 500-1000mg per day
Did you do anything with Ions? Yes. Salt lamp by the bed, hematite and rose quartz bracelet either being worn or carried, open bedroom window and a fan blowing on me. Oh, and I painted/removed paint from my nails a couple of times that week.
Moon Phase during conception? New Moon
Did you use any Old Wives Tales? Yes. Baby girl outfits under the bed, the material I will use to make her baby blanket (like I did for my boys) under the mattress.
Things that make me feel great about my sway: Ttaking vitex made me O late, my husband took OLE, he didn't have a lot of semen with his climax, I didn't have a big O, my husband and I had both been drinking, he walks upwards of 10 miles per day outside doing yard work, and I wasn't able to graze throughout the day because of work.
Things that make me nervous about my sway: I wasn't strict on the diet or following it for very long, I wasn't able to exercise, I lost weight in July, but I fear that I had gained some back leading up to our attempt (I was too afraid to check for sure, though), I wasn't skipping breakfast because I get up at 5 and wasn't able to make it to lunch comfortably, and the amount of energy drinks and caffeine I consumed in the weeks leading up to and before confirmation of BFP.
