Blue onesie under my bed, prayed!

Things that make me feel great about my sway:
Diet is completely different to when I conceived DD - I never snacked or had breakfast before her and she was a clomid baby also. I lived a harsh girl life and didn't even know it - always just crappy sugary foods. I never went more than 3 hours without food and had lots of ewcm. Conceived in male moon sign (Gemini) and biorhythm was male sway too.
Got good attempts in. PCOS so sways blue slightly anyway - conceived first cycle so fertility was high ( a first!!)

Things that make me nervous about my sway:
Didn't get much sun/vitamin D exposure in the week leading up to O because of a cyclone!
A few sporadic days where I let myself get hungry (more than 3 hours between eating) because work got too busy.
Moon phase (my next cycle would've fallen right on a full moon) so that really irks me that I fell this cycle straight away.
DH sometimes skipped lunch and didn't eat as frequently as I would like because his work would get busy periods.

Things worth mentioning:
very much a boy mom personality. Started back at work full time in the months leading up to my attempt and the woman who had my job while on leave did a terrible job and I had to fix a lot of work and documents - I wrote lots of lists and checked through them and loved being back working and being organised.

To be honest he didn't drink much with DD either. But he would have the occasional bourbon or two once every 2-3 weeks. He went full cold turkey this time.

Thanks everyone. I did try super hard. I'm feeling positive with falling first go because my fertility wasn't high at all before DD (had surgery to remove stage 3 endometriosus and had clomid with her for my PCOS as I almost never ovulated without it).
My body is definitely in a different place for this one.

That is an excellent sway DD, isn't it surprising how differently the HE diet makes you feel!:)

Oh Panther, great news – the whole process has moved quite fast – FX for plenty of beautiful eggs ripe for Y swimmers :D

Are you doing gender selection with your IVF Panther?

December 19th, 2017, 07:26 AM
@LMSM: Yes, I've been very surprised at how quickly it all moved!!

@dancingdiva: Yes! We don't have any issues getting pregnant, so we were advised by three separate REs to do PGS testing to determine if my losses have been chromosomal or genetic issues (since we can't find anything wrong with me other than I'm maybe TOO fertile!). So I am hoping very much for some normal XYs because I'm choosing a boy!!

For the refrigerated ones you can get them at a health food store or at the pharmacy/chemist (you have to ask for them)
