-LE diet since December 26th
-Rephresh (every 3 days, a full applicator the night before attempts)
-SP AF-O (2 cycles)
-Vitex AF-O (2 cycles, the first month I ovulated on CD 21 and the month I got pregnant I ovulated on CD 12. I usually ovulate on CD 17. I think the Vitex really made my cycles irregular but I hope that was a good thing while swaying)
-Folic Acid
-Aci-Jel
-Lots of Crystal light
-I ALWAYS skipped breakfast and never ate before 11am. I ate at 11am and 4pm. This diet was completely different than I have ever eaten in my life. I normally consume few carbs and mostly eat a variety of protein. I lost a total of 12lbs on the diet. Since last March, I have steadily lost 35lbs in all (baby weight). I was cold all the time while on this diet. I would be shaking in bed with extra blankets on.
-My husband gave up red meat.
-I have lifted weights at the gym for the last 10 years. The entire time I was swaying I did not set foot in the gym.
-Timing: We DTD missionary at 7am and 2pm the morning of a positive OPK. I used an entire applicator of Rephresh at 10:00 pm the night before attempt. My husband had just returned from a business trip and he abstained for a week prior. I had some CM but not much compared to normal. I wish we only had one attempt and I didn't O but I can't change that.
- I used an organic lavender body wash and lotion daily. I think it is supposed to lower testosterone levels.
-I have been praying to Saint Gerard the patron saint of mothers for a healthy baby girl.
