I was at my smallest adult weight since high school! I started exercising about 4-5 days a week a couple months before we started TTC. I had some weeks where I just couldn't hit that with work and life, but was back to exercising (mostly walking or riding stationary bike) the couple weeks before the successful cycle.

Not sure if it was O day or 1 day before O. I had a really long LH surge this cycle (my first cycle after an early miscarriage), with four days of positive OPKs. I was planning on having our attempt from two days before the first +OPK be the one (we were doing E4D) but then I just kept getting +OPKs and so we had another attempt the third +OPK day.

Things that make me feel great about my sway:

Long time on diet

Things that make me nervous about my sway:

First cycle after early miscarriage and I had a lot of EWCM. I'm wishing we had skipped this cycle and regrouped, but I always thought it was better to catch the first egg so we went ahead even though I wasn't feeling great about it. Super random but my one dark chin hair hadn't grown at all while swaying and I noticed that it came back after the early miscarriage. All in all, not feeling great about the sway.

Things worth mentioning:

I'm fairly certain this baby is a boy. I haven't been sick at all this pregnancy (thankfully!), and while I know this isn't proven, I've been having tons of pain and cramping and round ligament pain on the right. I ovulated from the left the cycle I miscarried. I know everything happens the way it's supposed to so I'm trying to be positive! I just really thought swaying would work for me. Maybe I'll be back for one more!

Sounds like a great sway! I have only ever felt this LO on my right, all the twinges and pains definitely on my right side and NIPT confirmed girl!

That looks like a good sway Atomic says diet and exercise are most important and you have done that! will you find out gender? x

Congratulations 💓💓 can you post a link to your sway please pretty? I have a personalised one but love reading them x

[Elena86]

I have a very similar sway but i'm still not pregnant.
Just like you i'm fairly certain that if i ever get pregnant it sure will be a boy but we have to think positive!
You had a great sway!
Pink dust headed your way !!

[April2017baby]

Thanks all! You are so sweet. Yes, we'll find out gender in November or December. I'm somewhere between 11-12 weeks right now, so at least I've had some time to get used to the idea that my little guy might have a brother. (Better than going in expecting a girl!) I've always wanted three kids. We'll see if I can convince my hubby of that in a couple years.

@Nell_ I'm not sure how to post my sway other than what's here? I'm happy to share any other details!

@Elena86 It's SO hard to wait month after month, especially when you're trying to stick to diet, etc. I hope you get pregnant quickly and it's a beautiful girl! I'll be thinking about you!

[Elena86]

Thx! Next month will be my 4th month of trying. I'm not even pregnant but this time i'm mentally ready for a boy again.
With my son i was convinced it was a girl. The GD hit my very hard that way.
I hope you will get that babygirl very soon!

[atomic sagebrush]

Good luck and pink dust coming your way!

[April2017baby]

Just wanted to update that I am, in fact, having another boy. Totally convinced that getting pregnant right after that early miscarriage swayed boy for me, but I guess we'll never know! Hoping to try one more time for a girl one day.

Congratulations brothers will be so cute!! 💙💙
