Things that make me feel great about my sway: Being on the diet soooo long.
Hubby abstained 7 days. He also struggled to finish on last attempt so hopefully his swimmers had decreased! He had also started riding again 1 week before attempts
Hoping the Olive Leaf Extract helped...
Things that make me nervous about my sway: being a bit of a lazy swayer.
not strictly girl timing - an AM attempt day before O, PM attempt day of O and morning attempt day after O... It was different timing to my boys.
The Super Moon!!!
Things worth mentioning: My basal body temp was way higher this time than with both my boys or other cycles.
