no

Things that make me feel great about my sway:

I definitely felt like I had more testosterone in my body overall.

Things that make me nervous about my sway:

We had so much sugar in our diet. I made sure to eat protein with my carbs, but there were still a lot of sweets consumed.

Things worth mentioning:

DH didn't do a whole lot. He took supps, but forgot them a lot as well. He also worked out a bit more often and was at the top of his normal weight range. We had about 3 months of strict HE dieting, but then decided to hold off on our attempts for a couple months, so our diet faded a bit then. It was only 1 month after trying to get back into it that we got our BFP and the week of our attempt was vacation, so although we were fairly stress free, we were also not quite as strict with our diet and were drinking much more alcohol during that week.
