Things that make me feel great about my sway: Diet for 16 weeks and doing 60 minutes cardio almost every day. I am at my lowest adult weight, I don't think I have weighed this since high school...
Things that make me nervous about my sway: Getting pg the first month trying!! DH had only been taking OLE for 3-4 weeks and it was only his first round of LR. He only took LR twice a day along with the OLE
Things worth mentioning: Before LE diet I would usually have at least 5 days of ewcm. Some days with an embarrassing amount:-/ By the end I had very little. And my sex drive got really low also (Sorry if tmi)
