Did you purchase and follow a GD Personalized Plan?

No

DIET
Did you follow a diet plan?

Yes

If yes to diet, which one did you most follow?

• LE(Low Everything)

Comments regarding DW's diet changes-

huge change for me. we eat protein(chicken,turkey,cow) at least once a day. and I've lived my life on cereal/breakfast three meals a day if I could. I ate 2 bites of chicken during whole sway time and skipped breakfast always. Also, i was a big tea drinker. so, this was also a big change. My "cheats" were shellfish/white fish about once a week

If diet was used, length of time before attempt?

9 solid weeks before BFP plus 4 loose weeks in January.

Did you skip breakfast regularly?

Yes

Did DH change his diet with you?

Yes

Comments regarding DH's diet-

no red meat, and if he had a choice between chicken or fish..he would choose the fish

DId you consume alcohol?

• Often- daily

DId you try to limit caffeine?

Yes, I had 1 drink per day

Any Diet Details?

followed LE guidelines but stopped tracking so i wouldn't be "Martha". I had coffee for breakfast but it was always after at least a 13hr fast. If coffee didn't count as a meal, I had a 16hr fast before lunch. lunch was usually my biggest meal, (matzo, strawberries, salad, etc) and for dinner, i would make the family meat, starch, and a veggie and i would just eat the starch and veggie. I did eat ice cream for dessert quite often but figured it was my only dairy item for the day and was within my limits.

Any Diet Comments/Additional Info?

I have gluten issues. So, i ate a lot of rice and potatoes. I was lucky that DH was as supportive of the LE diet. It would help me "hide" it when we were around family, friends, etc.

WEIGHT AND EXERCISE
What did you weigh/BMI do leading up to O?

When I started the sway, my BMI was 23.0. At BFP it was 21.5. When I conceived my youngest DS, it was 24.2 I lost 8 pounds during sway.

Any Weight/Exercise related additional info/comments?

exercised on my elliptical machine 6-7 days a week for 60-70 minutes. There were a couple of times where I missed 2-3 days in a row but I still did 60 minutes.

How many BD attempts did you make for the BFP cycle?

2

BD Dates according to Ovulation

• 4 Days Before O
• O Day

Any additional comments?

The two months prior to BFP, we tried the +OPK attempt. However, I wasn't getting a +OPK ever. Funny enough, BFP month I did. Also, I had been on clomid the month prior so I had ultrasounds/blood work to confirm O

THE DEED INFO
DH Info about Swimmers

• BD every few days

BD Position

Missionary

Did you Jump and Dump?

• For some attempts

Any relevant attempt details?

DH had a HOT shower before both attempts. 4 days before O attempt, I had a big O. (never did when conceiving my boys) and I didn't J&D. oh, and we were both drunk. O day attempt was in the morning, so no big O and I J&D

SUPPLEMENTS USED
DW Supplements

• Clomid
• folic acid
• Fiber

DH Supplements

-

Any additional supplement info?

Clomid was used the month prior to BFP. BFP month, My estrogen levels never normalized out so I couldn't use it BFP month. Also, DH used OLE religiously for 3 1/2 months before attempt.

Did you do anything with Ions?

lavender hand lotion every night before bed. painted my nails every few days.

Moon Phase during conception?

Waning Gibbous

Did you use any Old Wives Tales?

my Christening gown, wooden spoon with pink string and a pink heart underneath the bed.

Things that make me feel great about my sway:

I have NEVER exercised or dieted in my life. So, I'm proud of myself for sticking with it. We live in a different house, have different jobs and have a happier marriage since we conceived the boys. I'm sure that doesn't make a difference but any little thing helps.

Things that make me nervous about my sway:

not using the clomid or other supplements for BFP cycle. Would have liked to be on the diet longer. Also, those rare days when I didn't exercise.

Things worth mentioning:

I was very relaxed this cycle because truth be told, I really didn't want another December Baby. (DS5 is an Xmas baby) So, I know what's meant to be will happen. If it is a boy, I won't be upset that it's a boy, I will be upset about giving up the dream of having a girl. DSIL just had a girl, so I will force my way into her life if necessary to help my GD. I said I will be the Aunt on "Say Yes to the Dress"
