Did you use any Old Wives Tales?
prayer, I don't like to add it here but couldn't find anywhere else relevant!
Things that make me feel great about my sway:
Clomid, weight loss, time on diet
Things that make me nervous about my sway:
Everything, we dropped so many factors we ended up with quiet a weak sway. I would term this more of a sway journey rather than a plan sadly for us all the sway factors seemed to stop us getting preggie as this was my last lost of clomid I really wanted to get preggie! I just keep everything crossed that everything I've taken over the last 6 months will tip teh balance!
Things worth mentioning:
I've noted all the things we dropped I hope this helps people who have been swaying for a while feel that you're not alone in feeling you have a comprimised sway - please ask any questions.
Thank you to atomic who answered millions of my questions!
