Comments regarding DW's diet changes-

I am usually a pretty healthy eater but I do love my junk food (especially anything sweet), lots of snacking, big meals, only drink water and I've been a vegetarian for over 12 years and vegan for almost 3 years. I consumed a LOT of dairy when I conceived my two boys. I ate a lot of fortified breakfast cereals. Always ate breakfast and took a daily vitamin/prenatal daily. My diet was very boy friendly.

If diet was used, length of time before attempt?

10 Weeks

Did you skip breakfast regularly?

Yes

Did DH change his diet with you?

Yes

Comments regarding DH's diet-

DH completely cut out all meat and replaced it with soy (he is a BIG meat eater). He increased his energy drink and soda intake drastically. Overall he wasn't eating very healthy and he HATES water.

DId you consume alcohol?

• No

DId you try to limit caffeine?

No, I did not factor that into my sway

Any Diet Details?

I skipped breakfast everyday (usually went 18-19 hours between dinner and lunch the next day), I pretty much ate the same thing everyday to avoid stressing over the limits (almost always stayed within the limits and sometimes was under in either fat or protein). I was eating very unhealthy, no vegetables or fruits, lots of processed foods and no meat. I don't like flavored drinks so almost always only drank water but switched to drinking Diet Mountain Dew for swaying and usually had 4-6 a day. Absolutely NO snacking. I was always horribly hungry and only had 2 or 3 very small cheats throughout the whole 10 weeks.

Any Diet Comments/Additional Info?

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

BMI at O was 18.8. I lost 17 pounds during the 10 weeks on the diet.

Any Weight/Exercise related additional info/comments?

I exercised 1 hour everyday 6 days a week for the entire 10 weeks. I used an elliptical machine and our AC wasn't working while I was swaying so I was sweating like crazy every time. I only missed 2 days the entire time.

THE DEED INFO
DH Info about Swimmers

• Other

BD Position

Doggy style

Did you Jump and Dump?

• Yes

Any relevant attempt details?

I was absolutely exhausted from the diet and exercise so sex was the last thing I wanted to be doing. We used a little lube and just DTD quick and I got up and went to the bathroom. I wasn't really into it because all I wanted to do was get ready for bed. No big O.

SUPPLEMENTS USED
DW Supplements

• Vitex
• folic acid
• Fiber
• Antihistamine
• Saw Palmetto

DH Supplements

• Licorice Root

Any additional supplement info?

DH and I took our supplements very religiously, never missing a dose.

I took 800 mg of Vitex, 1080 mg of Saw Palmetto, 6-9 g of fiber per meal, and 2000 - 2500 mgs of organic Ceylon Cinnamon Powder per meal. I know such large doses of cinnamon is recommended against but it had no ill effects on me so I continued with it the entire 10 weeks. I started the antihistamine the first day of AF before attempt.

Dh took 750 mg of OLE twice a day and about 450 mg 3 times a day of liquid Licorice Root from AF-O.

Did you do anything with Ions?

No.

Moon Phase during conception?

-

Did you use any Old Wives Tales?

No.

Things that make me feel great about my sway:

My diet was very strict, I exercised religiously, number of attempts, and overall I felt pretty crappy, was absolutely exhausted, and definitely wasn't in very good condition. I also didn't get as much sleep as I should have been getting. I have to be up before 5 am for work and usually didn't get to bed until 10 or 11. I did a pretty strict sway but everything was pretty much the same every day so I didn't stress over anything unnecessarily.

Things that make me nervous about my sway:

I didn't use anything vaginally for PH or to reduce sperm amount and only made it to 10 weeks and not 12.

Things worth mentioning:

Thank you Atomic Sagebrush for all of the information you shared!

[atomic sagebrush]

So excited for you and FX!

As you already know (and I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't mention this) I don't want anyone else taking this high a dose of cinnamon. The ill effects may not be obvious until you're literally bleeding to death. It worked out for Mojupa but it may not for others.

Congratulations!!
All the very best
You did great x
