Comments regarding DW's diet changes- I tried the best I could with diet. I found skipping breakfast wasn't for me most days.. but id wait until around 10 am to eat it.
I started eating a lot of white carbs. White Rice and bread. something that was FOREIGN to me. I just got off low calorie diet/routine for the past few years and had lost a lot of weight with that. Unfortunately with the LE diet.. I didn't lose weight. I think my body HATES carbs. lol

Any additional comments? So this is where things got tricky for me.
I started tracking Ovulation with temps and OPK. on day 12 of my cycle I got a faint + line on the cheapo-OPK (dollar store kind) .I ran out and got the digital kits (thinking that they were more accurate!) and re tested later that day. It was negative. SO I didn't think I was ovulating. We DTD every 4 days this month. for a total of 2 times.
We DTD day 8 of cycle and then the night after the + on the test (Day 13.)
So to recap: 2 days before O and O day. Were assuming that we conceived the day of O since we DTD the next day after the + on the OPK.
I never received another + on the digital tests all month. I was convinced I missed "O". Thank goodness I was tracking my temps too bc fertility friend website pin pointed my O to be day 12. (early for most). My temp had a small dip on DPO 6 (implantation day), and then remained high. sign of pregnancy.
Details on the Deed:
* not sure day was successful but were thinking the day of O?*
DTD in the day (opposite from boys)
missionary (also diff from how boys were conceived)
no "O" for me .
hubby had bath before
I had hot shower
It was pouring rain (negative IONS)
Had pink baby outfit under pillow
Layed on my left side after DTD and took small nap. (very relaxing!)
did J&D after about 10 min
Hubby on Sudafed
I took Benadryl 1 hour before
I also had a glass of wine

Things that make me feel great about my sway: We really feel like we swayed the best we could. Hubby was full on board with me, which made it a lot easier.
I had been to a psychic two times in the past 2 years and both times she said that I have a daughter that is waiting to be born. Last time I saw her, was in May. She told me that I will be pregnant RIGHT AWAY, and that the baby will be born with snow still on ground. (our baby is due in March. we will still have snow!).
Its funny b/c hubby and I both said that if this wasn the month.. next we were going to drop a lot of the swaying tactics to get pregnant. We are just so shocked and happy that this was our month!
Things that make me nervous about my sway: We went out that night after the deed and had the most delish cheeseburgers! Prob not the best thing.. red meat! BUT DARN IT WAS GOOD! LOL
Things worth mentioning: Thank you so much Gender dreaming for all the help.
We have faith that whatever happens is meant to befor our family, and that boy or girl... we are thrilled!
I will update this as soon as I know the gender~
UPDATE--ITS A GIRL!!
We could not be happier. I dont know what part of the sway worked for us but feel confident that this website is amazing and all the ladies on it!
I will say this pregnancy has been very different than with the boys. Alot harder and more sickness. ... but she is worth it!
Thanks again GD!!
Good Luck everyone!
