DH Supplements
Any additional supplement info? I used Vitex for 6 months, the month we conceived I only had it a few times. The chitosan was used for 6 months then I run out of it and forgot to get me a new bottle. After 6 months of not getting pregnant it became so frustrating that I decided to give Clomid a try. I've used it for only one cycle and conceived.
DH took licorice Root and Olive leaf extract.
Did you do anything with Ions? No
Moon Phase during conception? Last Quarter
Did you use any Old Wives Tales? Girls T-shirt under my side of the bed.
Things that make me feel great about my sway: The length of time I was on the diet, the one try only, the clomid.
Things that make me nervous about my sway: I didn't do enough exercise. I found It very hard to do 6 or 7 times a week. I managed to do 4 or 5 times only. The week leading up to ovulation the month I conceived I pushed myself to get on my bike 6 times for 60 minutes.
It made me nervous that I wasn't as strickt on the diet as before and gained some of the weight back.
Things worth mentioning: The 16th november we went to Barcelona to do a non-invasive DNA bloodtest. Within 3 days we received the results. According to the test we're expecting a ❤️ Girl ❤️!!!! I'm over the moon, but still can't believe it for a 100% untill I see 'her' on sonogram.
I want to thank Atomic Sagebrush for everything. You have made my dream come true. ❤️
