Apart from very frequent laptop/iphone use no.
Moon Phase during conception?
New Moon
Did you use any Old Wives Tales?
A 'baby brother' romper in pillowcase with some straw from the Christmas service manger :D
A lot of prayers.
Things that make me feel great about my sway:
My chart is opposite BD pattern/timing to my last DD. I usually conceive after weight loss so opposite again.
Things that make me nervous about my sway:
I wish we had used preseed. The months before conception had great CM but not so much the month we concieved.
Very much doubt we can conceive another boy after 5 girls in a row.
Things worth mentioning:
I feel we did our best and if we could do it all again tomorrow there wouldn't be a lot I would/could change.
So looking back now DD is a year old and we are planning our next sway I decided to review this sway. I know we don't need to pick apart our sways but there are a few things I know realise I did wrong.
I was taking more EPO than Fish Oil
I hadn't properly understood the HE and my balance was off. I was, as I always have been, eating low nutrients foods. I definitely wasn't eating quality nutrients.
I changed from wellwomans one a day vit to pregnacare for the month of attempt and honestly noticed a big difference, it wasn't as good for me and dried up the CM I had in the months prior.
I didn't keep up weights and had NO muscle at all.
I can clearly see now how girl friendly my diet is and has been for a very long time.
