BD Dates according to Ovulation 4 Days Before O
O Day
Any additional comments?
O date is inconclusive. If I Oed with the first attempt, it was the day before O and then the second attempt wouldn't count. I likely Oed after my positive OPKs though and that puts my attempts at 4 days before and on O day, possibly something like O+12.

Any additional supplement info?
DH used olive leaf extract for about two weeks before attempt. I used vitex the entire cycle before attempt cycle. I also used cinnamon daily with my folic acid.
Did you do anything with Ions?
Rose quarts necklace and anklet, orange ginger aromatherapy from Bath and Body works, and orange essential oils, fan running, humidifier, girl moon phase
Moon Phase during conception?
Waxing Gibbous
Did you use any Old Wives Tales?
No.
Things that make me feel great about my sway:
The vitex the cycle before, the clomid, the rephresh, the cinnamon, and if I really did O when I think I did, then my attempt timing.
Things that make me nervous about my sway:
I feel like I could have been better with my diet, but then don't we all? Attempt time was on my birthday and of course we went out and had dinner with leftovers, and lots of cake, then we went out again for my b-day the night of my second attempt and had MORE cake and more heavy calorie dinners. Also, the OPKs ended up stressing me out more then expected. It wasn't my first round with them, but you would have thought so!
Things worth mentioning:
I'm breastfeeding, I'm a nurse, erratic sleep schedule, work night shift, tight underwear for DH, heated car seats, DH always takes hot showers
