Comments regarding DW's diet changes-

I was a vegetarian, although I still ate dairy (lots of cheese) and eggs. I also skipped both breakfast and lunch and suspect that most days I was well below 1500 calories. This was not intentional and I obviously don't recommend it because it wasn't healthy.

If diet was used, length of time before attempt?

I started a few weeks before my first attempt, however, it took four cycles to actually conceive.

Did you skip breakfast regularly?

Yes

Did DH change his diet with you?

Yes

Comments regarding DH's diet-

DH also ate vegetarian with me.

DId you consume alcohol?

• No

DId you try to limit caffeine?

Yes, I cutback

Any Diet Details?

Regarding caffeine, I didn't technically cut back as I don't drink caffeine anyway due to insomnia and migraines. I also don't drink alcohol due to my migraines and because I dislike the taste so I did not drink at all when TTC.

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

3

BD Dates according to Ovulation

• 3 Days Before O
• O Day
• After O

Any additional comments?

I believe that timing either doesn't work or the opposite of Shettles is true (sex closer to Ovulation sways girls) so for three cycles I only had sex day of ovulation and day after for O+12 but I didn't get pregnant. After that I decided to try to recreate the timing I used for my daughter (I wasn't swaying, just trying to get pregnant but it worked that time). With my first I had sex two days before O, day of O and day after O. I ovulated late the month I conceived this time so I ended up attempting three days before O instead of two.

BD Position

Missionary

Did you Jump and Dump?

• No

Any relevant attempt details?

My husband routinely uses his laptop on his lap, which does lower his sperm count. His sperm count nearly tripled after 10 months of not placing his laptop on his lap (he was tested twice while we were trying to conceive our first). If lower sperm count does sway girl then this was probably a factor.

SUPPLEMENTS USED
DW Supplements

• folic acid
• Calcium
• Magnesium
• Antihistamine

DH Supplements

Any additional supplement info?

I continued taking my prenatal vitamins while we were TTC, which does contain folic acid, calcium and magnesium but also a lot of other vitamins as well.

Did you do anything with Ions?

No

Moon Phase during conception?

New Moon

Did you use any Old Wives Tales?

No

Things that make me feel great about my sway:

I had an extremely low calorie diet and was completely vegetarian (no cheating).

Things that make me nervous about my sway:

We DTD three days before O, which I fear may sway boy. My diet also wasn't very acidic and I did eat a lot of potatoes.

Things worth mentioning:

I believe that stress, despite the fact that it does raise testosterone, sways girls by decreasing maternal condition. More girls are conceived after stressful events like 9/11 and one study found that women in high stress jobs are more likely to conceive girls. For this reason, I believe that my chronic anxiety and the stress I was under while TTC helped sway girl.
