Things that make me feel great about my sway: Sylk, frequent BD for SO Many days straight,
I am breastfeeding.
When we conceived our boy I did use Mucinex (boy sway) and we BD through O but sporadically not everyday- which gave the sperm a chance to become BOY friendly.

My PH did sky rocket after BD, but I read you can not even conceive if it is not at a 7 anyway.
