Comments regarding DW's diet changes-

I mostly followed LE and AFD. I never got protein as low as recommended. The 5 days before O the month I conceived I was in Las Vegas and did not follow a diet.

2 months

Did you skip breakfast regularly?

Yes

Did DH change his diet with you?

No

Comments regarding DH's diet-

-

DId you consume alcohol?

• Often- daily

DId you try to limit caffeine?

No, I did not factor that into my sway

Any 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 23

Any 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.

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.

Full Moon

Did you use any Old Wives Tales?

No

Things 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?

Thank you so much Temerity for posting, I am SO happy for you!

More proof that a cheat, even right around O, is no dealbreaker.

How long had you been dieting & losing weight priir to starting the LE diet?

I lost about 22 pounds between Sept 14 and Feb 15, then I started LE and lost another 5 pounds or so over the next couple of months.

Thank you everyone! I am so very shocked and excited.

[maidentomother]

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.

Congratulations and well done

[Pink Pony]

Congratulations, so exciting
