Missionary
Any additional comments?
Used a little bit of pre-seed with each dtd. O-2 had ewcm that stretched 4 inches and was copious. O-1, clear and stretchy 2 inches, didn't check O day, but I usually dry up a lot by then.
Any relevant attempt details?
Stayed in bed overnight, except for O day attempt which was in AM, stayed in bed for at least an hour.
Did you do anything with Ions?
-
Moon Phase during conception?
Waning Gibbous
Did you use any Old Wives Tales?

Things that make me feel great about my sway:
Weight/muscle gain, protein content, conceiving in the first month, EWCM strength, general feeling well on diet
Things that make me nervous about my sway:
Not enough sodium and potassium (although, all of my potassium came from food, so absorption should be good). I also did the IG diet with DD2 and although I had good ewcm, I lost weight and felt sick (and so did DH), so having swayed before, I feel like I won't succeed.
Things worth mentioning:
I'll update when I find out! :) I think swaying does work, but it is hard when you lose the odds. :)
