Things that make me feel great about my sway:

-had big O
-had frequent sugar binges and cheats (especially around ov and AF)
Things worth mentioning:
Very grateful for all of the info and support I got from this site. I started off thinking it could never work because I have PCOS and no access to meds eg Clomid. I can't believe that my sway has worked and keep being scared that the Harmony results are wrong! Thank you Atomic for your replies and support. We are so happy.

I was so nervous about that too! The only supplements I took were myoinositol (and that was only for the last 8 weeks) and folate/folic acid. It can be done without Clomid - I can’t believe it still! Good luck xx

Ha, yep! I was convinced that there were balls and penises everywhere but I got the Harmony results today. So glad I didn’t listen to all that Biorhythms rubbish now and that we dtd when we did. I still really can’t believe it’s real and I’m so grateful. Thank you for all your research

Yes that’s another thing I was worried about. And I really think it was exactly on O day too (I had a little bleed which I often get at ov). I truly think there’s nothing to timing. Good luck with your sway, I have all my fingers crossed for you xx

That's great news!

If you ever have a spare minute, if you wanted to update the biorhythm thread with this news, it is INVALUABLE to me. I can tell people "well there was this woman who..." (and I do, LOL) but it means so much more coming from you guys. Either way, I am thrilled for you!

I will do that asap. Stupid biorhythms. Can’t believe I paid money for that rubbish. Thank you, am on cloud 9 :-)

Great result, congratulations [emoji323][emoji322][emoji324]!!

When you say you did low carb and ate a lot of yoghurt, did you stay in the 50-60g protein limit?
Because I have to cut out yoghurt entirely or otherwise I would get over my protein limit every day. But I have to say I eat a lot of bread which has already much protein :)

Yep I always stayed within the protein limit (bar a couple of cheats) but I was often over a bit on fat. I stuck to about 100g of yoghurt per day. I was, though, always at the upper end of the protein limit. And when I say low carb I was lower carb than before but still hitting on average 100g-150g a day (more frequently towards the lower end of that). Not much of those carbs came from bread (though some did). I made a lot of oopsie rolls (cream cheese and eggs baked basically) to stand in for bread. I worried about overdoing it on dairy as a result but figured better than carbs. I chose fat over carbs when possible.

Good luck with your sway and thank you for the congrats :-)

Congrats Ohdeer ! I'm glad it worked out ! :bighug:

I guess the one attempt really sways pink, be it on O-day or just before (DD1 was an O-3/one attempt and DD2 was an O-day/one attempt). Kitten, keep your hopes up still.

Gesendet von iPhone mit Tapatalk

Yes I do have PCOS. I have lean PCOS so I am not overweight but my hormone profile is consistent with PCOS and I have various menstrual complications as a result. I felt very down about swaying with PCOS. I started off taking Agnus castus and then switched to myoinositol to try and help. But my main focus was trying to keep my blood sugar low - I don’t know how successful I really was at that whilst eating but am thinking the fast between dinner and brunch must have helped

It doesn’t matter what helped, right? The main point is that you got your girl, hooray! [emoji2]
Glad for you!

Thank you so much! I did do that little bit of positive thinking where I swapped my blue dust for your pink dust so I have everything crossed for your sway too xxx
