Comments regarding DH's diet- -
DId you consume alcohol?
DId you try to limit caffeine? No, I did not factor that into my sway
Any Diet Details? I tried to reduce gluten and corn. Added whole milk products where I could. Both to increase fertility because I had concerns.
Any Diet Comments/Additional Info? I didn't stick to the diet religiously and had trouble getting protein as low as recommended. I had several good weeks and then went on vacation to Las Vegas where I did not worry about diet. I did, however, drink more than usual during that trip, at least two drinks a day, and continued with skipped or very late breakfasts.
WEIGHT AND EXERCISE
What did you weigh/BMI do leading up to O? At time of conception I was 162 with a BMI of 23
Any Weight/Exercise related additional info/comments? I had been losing weight since September 2014 (down from 187#) following a very blue diet. The week around O I gained a few pounds due to my Vegas binging. My exercise was limited to regular active mommy type of exercise, nothing strenuous.

Any additional comments? I had just returned from Vegas, and I don't know when DH had last released. He was about to go out of town for work, so we BD'd twice from desire rather than a plan. I wasn't expecting to get a +OPK when I did, I O'd the same day of my +OPK, and it was 2-3 days earlier than usual.

Things that make me feel great about my sway: I was very relaxed- I wasn't anticipating O so early, and DH was going out of town, so I had written April off and there was no pressure. Also, we had not been TTC very long compared to TTC my boys, so I wasn't stressed about it yet. I drank alcohol more frequently, and was very successful at skipping breakfast every morning- I didn't usually eat until noon. I was also successful at decreasing my protein intake until my trip to Las Vegas. I wasn't always at the recommended level, but I was dramatically lower that previously.
Things that make me nervous about my sway: The sheer amount of nutrition and protein I ate right before O. Also, multiple attempts. I hadn't had time to incorporate my custom sway recommendations before BFP.
Things worth mentioning: While I did purchase a custom sway plan, I received it about 4 days after O, so most of my changes were based on info from around the website. I never expected to get pregnant within 3 months, as both my boys took over a year each.
