Comments regarding DW's diet changes-

I've been vegetarian for 16 years and through both previous pregnancies. I didn't do a full on LE diet, but I did try to shy away from protein. I didn't decrease my fats or sugar. I added in aspartame in the form of one Crystal Light a day, one diet soda a day, and Equal in my coffee and tea. I used to have green and white tea every single day for years and stopped that 8 months ago. I also stopped all vitamins and supplements (besides folic acid) 8 months ago.

If diet was used, length of time before attempt?

Since January, so 5 months.

Did you skip breakfast regularly?

Yes

Did DH change his diet with you?

No

No change at all. DH drank alcohol when we conceived both boys but has been alcohol-free for 8 months. DH also smokes pot twice a day, but he did that when we conceived the boys as well.

This is actually the highest I've ever weighed even when trying to lose weight. This my highest conception weight ever. I am at least 10lbs or more heavier than when I got pregnant with both boys. I ran 5 miles on the treadmill and did the elliptical for 1 mile 4 times a week for 60 minutes each time. I did not exercise at all when I conceived my boys.

I took Claritin a couple times in the week leading up to O due to allergies, not swaying purposes. I was also on antibiotics (Z-pack) for 5 days from CD8 though CD12 for a bronchial infection. I was also taking 1 teaspoon of cinnamon a day in applesauce leading up to O, then decreased to a half teaspoon after O. DH was taking baby aspirin twice a week and 2 olive leaf capsules a day. Both DH and I were also drinking 1 cup of peppermint tea daily.

100% pure lavender oil on wrists and chest twice a day. Also diffused lavender oil in diffuser.

Things that make me feel great about my sway:

The length of time that it took to get pregnant seemed to indicate a decrease in fertility. I got pregnant right away with both boys (1 or 2 cycles) and this time it took 8 cycles. Also my age. DH and I were in our 20's when we had the boys and now we're both in our early 30's. Also, I didn't exercise at all when I got pregnant with the boys. Everything that I did for my sway made me feel better than doing nothing at all!

Things that make me nervous about my sway:

That I didn't follow the diet like I should have and I didn't lose weight.

Things worth mentioning:

After many months TTC with BFNs I greatly loosened my sway. In the beginning I started out with an everything-but-the-kitchen sink sway, but slowly dropped things (vitex, Replens, licorice root, frequent release) after each BFN cycle.

My best friend has asked me that I update her sway for her. I just got back from a 3 week vacation and learned yesterday that she went in for her first big appointment and ultrasound at 11 weeks 6 days and that there was no heartbeat. "This is not a normal pregnancy" were her doctor's words. My friend had seen another doctor at 8 weeks and had her first ultrasound then. There was a heartbeat at 8 weeks and my friend had been experiencing morning sickness since 8 weeks all the way up till she learned of the miscarriage. She was also still tempting and her temp was still high and she was starting to look pregnant. She opted for a D&C and it was performed on Thursday at 12 weeks 1 day. The fetus only measured 6 weeks, but the doctor said it could have died more recently and shrunk down. My friend is devastated and in a state of shock and depression. She had all the signs of a healthy pregnancy. She doesn't know if she will try to get pregnant again as she is too scared and doesn't want to ever go through something like this again. She is heartbroken. I feel so sad for her. Please keep her in your thoughts.
