COMMENTS

Well, I am newer to swaying but we did the best that we could given our confusing situation with the smiley face arriving early. I am thinking the green tea, EPO, and fish oil caused me to OV early. Let me know how you think we did. These next weeks waiting are going to be so tough!

I just wanted to say thank you to all of you who gave me advice throughout this roller coaster of a month. My biggest concern is timing - but like we all know - timing doesn't really sway too much anyway...I got my pos OPK 2 days earlier than I had anticipated so it threw us for a loop. Here is to hoping and praying for the BFP and a confirmation of a healthy baby BOY in there!

Sorry it took me forevs to get back to you, but wishing you good luck!

Just got my BFP on month 2! Will keep you ladies posted. Everything was the same except this time we BD O-3, O-2 and O-1(but within 12 hours of OV). I know we missed OV last month...didn't want to chance that again this month. Also, dropped the EPO because it threw my cycle off so bad last month. Wish me luck!

[Cinss]

Congrats on the BFP!
