Things that make me feel great about my sway:
Weight loss for me and sticking to diet. DH was bike riding every night for our sway. ACi jel and rephresh. I was also breastfeeding my 14 month old 6 times per day still. My diet was so different I felt like a different person and did not feel well in general.
Things that make me nervous about my sway:
No exercise and worried that DH frequent releasing may have raised his t levels and sperm count- wish we had abstained.
Things worth mentioning:
Was at lowest conception weight and I took no prenatals. DH was also having a sneaky cigarette or two at work ( he had quit for 6 years) I found this out later.
