    Lightbulb How I made girls from a mum of 4 girls. Please take allll my pink dust ladies

    Hi ladies,

    I tried loading this as a table but it wasn’t really easy to read/blurry so thought I would break it up for you – maybe not as visually appealing as my Excel document summarising the data, but hopefully it can be of help to some of you swaying pink!

    So here goes!

    DD1
    Age at conception and birth (Me/DH) 27/34 & 28/35
    Time TTC before + hpt 22 months
    BDs 2DBO,O
    Protected /unprotected leading up to O Unprotected
    Clomid Yes (CD2-5) – worked 1st cycle taking it (seem to O early on Clomid too)
    Preseed Yes
    Miscarriage before/after No
    Age gap until next pregnancy n/a
    Breastfeeding n/a
    Time since end of breastfeeding n/a
    Time since period had returned n/a
    Other medication me Low dose Naltrexone, Metformin (Dr suspected PCO tendencies - turns out that was wrong)
    Supplements Me B vit cocktail (to help with Luteal phase defect - i.e. too short luteal phase, low progesterone - had to take prog suppositories for the 1st trim for the first 3 girls)) / Vitex
    Supplements DH Don't remember – maybe some multi? Not even sure tbh!
    Prenatals Yes
    Coffee Yes, several cups per day - with whole milk+ sugar
    Diet Probably not enough calories / high carb & fruits +sweets / filling up on coffee at work
    Alcohol No
    Weight Low BMI (would have been about 51kg for 168cm) –
    Exercise Yes - 2/3 a week but mainly cardio

    *Had a miscarriage between DD1 and DD2 – just as was about to wean DD1 (she was 11months ish) – then due to ongoing pain etc, had to have a new laparoscopy for my endometriosis in October (m/c was in July).*

    DD2
    Age at conception and birth (Me/DH) 30/36 & 30/37
    Time before + hpt 6 months post m/c
    BDs 3DBO,1DBO
    Protected /unprotected leading up to O Unprotected
    Clomid Yes (CD2-5) – worked 1st cycle taking it (seem to O early on Clomid too)
    Preseed Yes
    Miscarriage before/after Yes (6 months prior to conceiving)

    DD3
    Age at conception and birth (Me/DH) 32/33 & 39/40
    Time TTC before + hpt 2 months
    BDs 2DBO,1DBO
    Protected /unprotected leading up to O Protected before fertile window but may mean I had a 1 attempt only as am not 100% on O day
    Clomid No
    Preseed Yes
    Miscarriage before/after No
    Age gap until next pregnancy 22 months
    Breastfeeding No
    Time since end of breastfeeding 6 months
    Time since period had returned 11 months but only really regular for 3/4 months ish prior to + hpt
    Other medication me n/a
    Supplements Me CoQ10 / vit d3/ probiotics/ Omega 3s (probably too high a dose)/ methylfolate
    Supplements DH Vitd3/ Coq10/ One daily multi (did he actually take them? Doubt it)
    Prenatals Yes
    Coffee Yes - but alternated with black tea with whole milk in majority in the weeks leading up to conception
    Diet HE so conscious effort to eat more protein - but still lots of sweets & carbs / coffee to fill up as well as probably
    too many carbs - I did limit those more coming up to TTC
    Alcohol Not in the 2/3 months up to TTC onwards
    Weight Kept a few kilos from previous pregnancy - normal BMI (about 55kg for 168cm)
    Exercise Not really other than a rando session of HIIT does running after two toddlers count? :P


    DD4
    Age at conception and birth (Me/DH) 35/36 & 41/42
    Time TTC before + hpt 0 months (oops baby!)
    BDs 4 or 5 BDO

    Prenatals No, but I took a multi
    Coffee Yes - but limited to 1 a day - had a bit of tea
    Diet Best diet of all 4, more protein, nutrients and calories - but had put on lots of weight (rather than muscle,
    probably more fat) due to lockdown and trying lots of new baking :P diet much better and higher in protein in
    the few months leading to pregnancy but not quite HE yet at that stage as baby snuck in so not TTC yet..
    Alcohol Yes - had bought a bottle of gin a month before +hpt so had a glass or two a week in that month - oops
    Weight My heaviest weight outside of pregnancy - normal but higher range BMI (about 61/2 kg for 168cm)
    Exercise Yes - 1/2 days (bodyweight exercise at home)per week was all I could manage + walking on weekends -
    mainly body weight / was muscular but definitely not as fit or muscular as could be (aka the fat weight I had
    put on)


    Feel free to ask away - I have collated the main data - as I could go on for days otherwise haha

    Our sway didn’t work for #3 & we had a little oops for #4 but we love them all to bits... not sure if we ever will but somehow hoping we might add blue to the crew, to complete our family, one day...

    Fingers crossed for TTC #5 (again) for early 2024!
