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 used to eat a diet very high in protein (lots of meat, fish, nuts, protein shakes and bars, you name it). I went vegetarian in July and have been meat free since. I also was a huge snacker, so skipping breakfast and only eating two meals a day was quite the change for me!
If diet was used, length of time before attempt? Vegetarian for almost 4 months, loose LE for PCOS diet for about 7 weeks
Did you skip breakfast regularly? Yes
Did DH change his diet with you? No
Comments regarding DH's diet- He probably ate less meat just as a result of my cooking it less often, but otherwise he really didn't change anything

Any additional supplement info? I was only on Vitex for about a month and stopped taking it a full month before attempt. I was prescribed Clomid but did not take it month of attempt as DH was supposed to be traveling for work the week of O and I did not want to waste a month.
Did you do anything with Ions? salt rock lamps by bed and at desk at work, lavender hand lotion daily
Moon Phase during conception? Waxing Gibbous
Did you use any Old Wives Tales? Pink onesie under bed. I find these silly for the most part, but figured it can't hurt!
Things that make me feel great about my sway: One attempt at O, exercise, still BF my youngest once a day
Things that make me nervous about my sway: Length of time on sway and not taking the Clomid. We weren't planning to attempt until next month, so this BFP is a bit of a surprise!
