    Things that make me feel great about my sway:
    N/A, didn't work, so not really much to feel great about, feel like I did the best I could under the circumstances and don't really have regrets as far as the sway is concerned.
    Things that make me nervous about my sway:
    n/a- see above
    Things worth mentioning:
    Tried relying on m/c + clomid + meformin + one attempt + no breakfast and mostly vegetarian, hoping it would be enough and didn't work out that way. Honestly don't know if diet/exercise would have made a huge difference in my case (and actually glad I didn't do them, would have made a failed sway even worse to deal with and already having a harder time than I expected.)

    I'm sorry your sway didn't work but congrats on a healthy boy. Can I ask, did you weigh significantly less when you conceived your angel DD, vs your sons?

    My Ovulation Chart
    currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP

    TTC #1 - swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!

    Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
    Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after remověng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic

    Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
    My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
    Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

    But your cycles have regulated since your first pregnancy/loss? Very interesting, thank you! I wonder if you became more fertile after your first, as some women do, and that's swaying for you.

    Nope, cycles didn't regulate (they have been irregular/long always pretty much since my first period, I would have a cycle every 6ish months or so.) We just did fertility treatments for ds1 (took nearly a yr and even had some long cycles on meds), soy isoflavones to make me ovulate for ds2 (also first cycle pp may have helped before they had time to get screwy again), this cycle was clomid one and also first one post-m/c.

    How far along were you at the blood test?
    Mom to

    and my IVF/PGD

    It's better to look back on life and say: "I can't believe I did that" than to look back and say "I wish I did that".
