Comments regarding DW's diet changes-
I started out doing the Atomic Fertility Diet because of my age, number of months already TTC (even before swaying) and my low AMH .03
I would say after about 7-8 months on the diet and not getting pregnant I decided I was going to stop swaying and start trying to increase my fertility as much as I could. I always had cheat days though but totally gave up snacking and still did not really eat breakfast as I think my body got used to it.

7-8 months on AFD

Congrats again and thank you so much for posting this! Out of curiosity, was this your first Femara cycle or what? If you did previous Femara cycles, what was your LP on it like? Oh and any way you could post your chart/link to your FF page?

I am sooooo so happy for you, so very glad your hard work and heartache from TTCing so long were not in vain. Your story is such a hopeful one for both long term TTCers/swayers and older moms. Enjoy your daughter! Is she your last baby?

Thanks so much Maiden! This little girl is totally worth the wait, heartache and tears that I went thru. Unfortunately she is my last, but we definitely feel complete. This was my 2 time on femera. First time was with RE I did 2.5 mg and had trigger. Think my LP was 15 days. This time I did on my own and did 5 mg with timed intercourse. It was basically my last attempt so I really was not expecting it to work! I don't think I actually would have stopped trying but I was just mentally drained from it. My chart is pretty lame because I was very inconsistent temping but I will try to link it.

I thought you'd do better on Femara so I'm glad to hear that it didn't have the same negative effects that Clomid did. Your chart is actually quite helpful, the pattern is clear, though I do suspect you Oed a day later. How dark was your first BFP? Was it a squinter or proper line? Have you had early BFPs before, if so how early?

Thanks for answering all my questions! :)

You know, this is one of those "no man left behind" sways that took every iota of determination and reading the add your sway does not do justice to how hard a journey this was for you!!! We went through so many ups and downs but just kept regrouping and moving forward and I am so so so overjoyed DJ, thank you for your tenacity and never giving up even when I know there were tons of times you wanted to!!!!!

My first was definitely a squinter on a first signal and a squinter but clear one on FRER!! I got positive on 9 dpo with DS 2 and didn't test eary with ds1! Yea not sure exactly when I ovulated because I wasn't really temping.
