Things that make me feel great about my sway: Diet was flipped to be calories from carbs rather than fat/protein which is very different from regular diet. Exercise was a much bigger but part of my life than when I conceived my son and having one attempt at a new moon.
Things that make me nervous about my sway: That I fell pregnant so quickly. I think this was more likely to be our first real attempt (technically the second month) but I'm pretty sure we missed the egg the first month. So fertility was not really reduced as my DS was conceived the first month too!
Things worth mentioning: I'm fairly happy with our attempt but feel I could have been much stricter. So many people have added in lots of other factors I could have done much more. Fingers crossed for diet, one attempt, fibre, exercise and coffee!
