Not entirely. I lightened up on the diet during the tww. I cut out the aspertame completely during this time. |

This was not a perfect sway, but we did the best we could do. While we would love a girl, we would be happy with another boy. Because of this, we just did what we were comfortable with. I didn't expect to get pregnant so quickly, especially considering no O, no EWCM, frequent BD and J&D. When I conceived my boys (I struggled getting pregnant with the first), I had big O, LOTS of EWCM, BD every other day through ovulation, and propped my hips afterward. I also weigh about 15 lbs less than I did when I conceived my boys. |

I thought I should post this information before I forget everything. I've been an avid thread reader, but haven't posted very much up to this point. I'm grateful for all of the information available on IG and also for the great network of ladies - thanks!!
