SUPPLEMENTS USED
DW Supplements Vitex
Baby asprin
folic acid
Antihistamine
DH Supplements Licorice Root
Cranberry
Any additional supplement info?
DH has insane super sperm so he took 3 liquorice root tablets from AF-O, then dropped to 1 tablet from O-AF for three months with no breaks.
I took vitex for 6 months then stopped the 3 months we actually ttc.
Did you do anything with Ions?
By coincidence I have an ionic hair dryer.
There were thunderstorms all day the day I conceived.
Moon Phase during conception?
Waning Gibbous
Did you use any Old Wives Tales?
Wooden spoon tied with pink ribbon under my bed, alongside a gorgeous baby girl outfit.
I had high pre-ovulation temperatures.
Things that make me feel great about my sway:
Had a bad cold in the week leading up to ovulation and felt crappy, which is supposed to help sway pink so was a lucky coincidence.
I'd been stressing out about everything for months beforehand, but the cycle I conceived I was really oddly serene and relaxed.
Had no ewcm, and very little in general.
Both mine and DHs sex drives were really low.
I prayed, a lot.
Things that make me nervous about my sway:
Not having enough days of BD because of ovulating early.
Not being strict enough with my diet during my 2 week waits.
Wishing I'd used rephresh.
Things worth mentioning:
DH cycles around 7 miles daily travelling to and from work. Wearing tight undies.
It was during a heat wave and DHs "goods" were almost always disgustingly hot and sweaty!
I had cycle blood tests done and apparently have very high FSH levels of 16 indicating diminished ovarian reserve, so I was lucky to conceive at all.
DH started shift work and we were both shattered, getting less than 6 hours sleep most nights.
I have low vitamin D levels.
