Any Weight/Exercise related additional info/comments?
I was at my smallest adult weight since high school! I started exercising about 4-5 days a week a couple months before we started TTC. I had some weeks where I just couldn't hit that with work and life, but was back to exercising (mostly walking or riding stationary bike) the couple weeks before the successful cycle.

Any additional comments?
Not sure if it was O day or 1 day before O. I had a really long LH surge this cycle (my first cycle after an early miscarriage), with four days of positive OPKs. I was planning on having our attempt from two days before the first +OPK be the one (we were doing E4D) but then I just kept getting +OPKs and so we had another attempt the third +OPK day.

Things that make me feel great about my sway:
Long time on diet
Things that make me nervous about my sway:
First cycle after early miscarriage and I had a lot of EWCM. I'm wishing we had skipped this cycle and regrouped, but I always thought it was better to catch the first egg so we went ahead even though I wasn't feeling great about it. Super random but my one dark chin hair hadn't grown at all while swaying and I noticed that it came back after the early miscarriage. All in all, not feeling great about the sway.
Things worth mentioning:
I'm fairly certain this baby is a boy. I haven't been sick at all this pregnancy (thankfully!), and while I know this isn't proven, I've been having tons of pain and cramping and round ligament pain on the right. I ovulated from the left the cycle I miscarried. :( I know everything happens the way it's supposed to so I'm trying to be positive! I just really thought swaying would work for me. Maybe I'll be back for one more! :)
