Did you follow a diet plan?YesIf yes to diet, which one did you most follow?
- LE(Low Everything)
Comments regarding DW's diet changes-I mostly followed LE and AFD. I never got protein as low as recommended.

- Often- daily
DId you try to limit caffeine?No, I did not factor that into my swayAny Diet Details?I tried to reduce gluten and corn. Added whole milk products where I could. Both to increase fertility because I had concerns.Any Diet Comments/Additional Info?I didn't stick to the diet religiously and had trouble getting protein as low as recommended. I had several good weeks and then went on vacation to Las Vegas where I did not worry about diet. I did, however, drink more than usual during that trip, at least two drinks a day, and continued with skipped or very late breakfasts.WEIGHT AND EXERCISE
What did you weigh/BMI do leading up to O?At time of conception I was 162 with a BMI of 23Any Weight/Exercise related additional info/comments?I had been losing weight since September 2014 (down from 187#) following a very blue diet. The week around O I gained a few pounds due to my Vegas binging. My exercise was limited to regular active mommy type of exercise, nothing strenuous.THINGS in VG and CONCEPTION DATE(CD) INFO
pH Before Starting a Sway Program, if known-Any VG potions used?
- NO
CM pH at attempt-DH pH-How many BD attempts did you make for the BFP cycle?2BD Dates according to Ovulation
- 1 Day Before O
- O Day
Any additional comments?I had just returned from Vegas, and I don't know when DH had last released. He was about to go out of town for work, so we BD'd twice from desire rather than a plan. I wasn't expecting to get a +OPK when I did, I O'd the same day of my +OPK, and it was 2-3 days earlier than usual.THE DEED INFO
DH Info about Swimmers-BD PositionMissionaryDid you Jump and Dump?
- No
Any relevant attempt details?-SUPPLEMENTS USED
DW Supplements
- Vitex
- folic acid
- Fiber
DH Supplements-Any additional supplement info?Vitex was taken CD1-13, I was worried it would delay O.Did you do anything with Ions?NoMoon Phase during conception?Full MoonDid you use any Old Wives Tales?NoThings that make me feel great about my sway:I was very relaxed- I wasn't anticipating O so early, and DH was going out of town, so I had written April off and there was no pressure. Also, we had not been TTC very long compared to TTC my boys, so I wasn't stressed about it yet. I drank alcohol more frequently, and was very successful at skipping breakfast every morning- I didn't usually eat until noon. I was also successful at decreasing my protein intake until my trip to Las Vegas. I wasn't always at the recommended level, but I was dramatically lower that previously.Things that make me nervous about my sway:The sheer amount of nutrition and protein I ate right before O. Also, multiple attempts. I hadn't had time to incorporate my custom sway recommendations before BFP.Things worth mentioning:While I did purchase a custom sway plan, I received it about 4 days after O, so most of my changes were based on info from around the website. I never expected to get pregnant within 3 months, as both my boys took over a year each.

Congrats! I bet you effectively had only one attempt, as the second batch of sperm probably didn't have time to capacitate and fertilize the egg while it was still viable.
How long had you been dieting & losing weight priir to starting the LE diet?
My Ovulation Chart currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP
TTC #1- swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!
Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after remověng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic
Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

Awesome, I think that definitely contributed a great deal to your success, and your case really demonstrates how it's what you do 2+ months before conception that matters most and bring lax in the weeks right before matters much much less.
