UPDATE: It's a GIRL!! :HH:
I wanted to thank Atomic for being AWESOME and answering all my questions!!! Thank you sooooo very very much!!! I feel blessed for finding this website and making some new great friends!!
ETA: I had 6 accupuncture treatments in a two week time period before ovulation. :) I believe that it helped!!
Swaying Attempt - Natural, 100mg of Clomid
pH- Around 6.2.. at least everything that came out was always 6.2.. sorry if TMI! ;)
Douche - None
Gels- Preseed... due to the dryness of clomid.
Minerals
Calcium- No
Magnesium - No
Potassium- avoided food with potassium
Sodium - not too much for my attempt month
DH Supps- none
Dietary Changes - I started to change my diet in May and June. Starting in July I started my VERY strict LE diet with a TON of diet caffeine free coke and crystal light. In September I had some cheats but also continued a TON of diet caffeine free coke and crystal light. In October I dropped the diet after my BFN. Although I did continue to eat no red meat, less salt, no potassium, no red sauce/tomatoes, very little dairy and drank some crystal light around ovulation.
DH drank diet caffeine free coke and some crystal light.
Did you continue diet after attempt/ how long? No I did not.
Caffeine- none
DH caffeine- one coffee each day during my tww each month.
Weight Loss I went from 116lbs to 105lbs... but began to slowly gain back 3 to 4 pounds by time I got my BFP... I was trying to regain some weight.
Hormones
Nursing- I stopped nursing in July.
T-levels- no confrontation with anybody... but I was on Clomid for three month prior to my bfp and it made me feel pretty crazy at times which I am sure it lead to higher levels of T.
Drinks- mostly red leaf raspberry tea and a lot of water the month of my bfp, drank some crystal light around ovulation.
Supplements - folic acid, started back on my prenatal after my BFN in October.
I also took a very very small amount of guaifenesin a couple of times around our attempts. I used it for all three of my other pregnancies and I really wanted to conceive since I had one cycle left on clomid.
Exercise- none
Timing - Frequent through ovulation
Charting O with Temp - Yes
Charting O with OPK - Yes
Suspected O Date- November 6th
Ions ~ none for bfp month
How many kids do you have? 3 children, 2 boys and 1 girl
Your Age-34
DH age- 34
BD position - missionary, with what my DH called medium release. I also elevated my pelvis on some pillows for thirty mins after each attempt and then stayed in bed for an hour or two after that.
Jump and Dump- no
EWCM present/how much? Absolutely zero due to the clomid. I usually have a ton. I used preseed with each attempt.
DH undies type - boxer briefs
Other:
I got to a point where I just needed/wanted to get pregnant. I was on my third round of clomid and my OB told me he only wanted me to go for 4. However, I was a die hard swayer for several months and I was a bit sad to give most of it up. All three of my other little ones came very easily with no meds. I am incredibly thankful to have conceived and praying for a healthy baby and pregnancy.
I wanted to add that I completely believe in the LE diet! WAY TO GO ATOMIC!!! I did not see what the differences were between my boys/girl conceptions until I read the LE diet! I tried very hard, but with the need to conceive I did the best that I could. FX for a baby girl but I will be so happy with a HEALTHY BABY regardless of gender. :) :)
This is our last pregnancy/child.
