Here's mine...
Firstly, we never knew about swaying until I found this forum while pregnant with our 4th boy. Our 4 boys were all pretty much the same diet & lifestyle.
Our first 3 boys were planned & our 4th boy was our sweet surprise (got pregnant straight after a miscarriage - never got my period afterwards & fell pregnant within that month).
BREAKFAST - I hate breakfast cereal so I typically had 2 pieces of toast (1 with vegemite/marmite & the other with ginger jam). I love my poached eggs so would have them at least once per week with vegemite toast.
LUNCH - Sometimes I'd skip lunch, have an apple or just have leftovers from the night before
DINNER - Consisted of 1 vegetarian meal per week. Every other night was alternating between white & red meat with a heap of veges or salad
SNACKS - I was a big snacker; apples, nuts, potato chips, shapes biscuits, chocolate, sweet muffins, etc
DRINKS - I'm not a big alcohol drinker, only the 1 glass on special occasions. Not a fan of coffee or softdrink but absolutely love my black tea with a dash of milk & sugar (2-3 times per day). Love my juice.
OTHER - I wasn't on any medications however with our last 2 boys I was taking a "Nutraorganics Super Greens & Reds" powder mix with my juice just to be healthy.
Was never deliberately exercising. Had dessert every 2-3 days. I'm the biggest stress-head unfortunately - I stress over stressing
DTD - With all 4 boys; was always missionary, always the big O, always deep release, typically DTD every 2-3 days when I thought I was ovulating. I always waited 5 mins before jump & dump. No hot showers before or after any DTD. We never knew when I ovulated as I never checked.
DH - Loves his alcohol to relax on weekends (mainly beer, sometimes spirits). Loves his coffee (2-3 cups per day). We believe he has high testosterone due to many reasons (eg. very hairy, natural athletic build without even trying, ready to DTD anytime - he'd never say no, etc). Never took any medications. Absolutely loves his red meat, snacks heaps & loves his dessert. Never deliberately exercised however he has a hands on job as an aircraft maintenance engineer & is a pilot socially. Loves wakeboarding, surfing, etc whenever he gets the chance.
I think that's it, that's at the top of my head. Feel free to ask me any questions.
