I walked around 3-4 blocks at least 3 times a week to drop my eldest to school, I attempted a women exercise group once a week but ended up dropping out.

Any additional comments? During this time I attempted abstain for 10 days prior and then 1 bed day before ovulation as I was unsure if I had already ovulated due to my clear blue saying low then attempted another bed attempt 12 days later only because we couldn't bed any earlier due by partner having an injury then another attempt 2 days later in which my clear blue said peak fertility . I believe I ovulated an fell pregnant around 9the of June after first bed attempt and the peaks later on only showed up as I was already pregnant and didn't know.

Did you use any Old Wives Tales? I placed two sets of baby girl socks under my pillow around a month before.
I also woke every morning with a mindset of being excited and elated for my baby girl. I at this time was becoming disheartened by not falling pregnant was was trying my hardest to change my mindset :)
Things that make me feel great about my sway: This is a hard one because I became very obsessed with my sway, I feel great about deciding to change my attitude and mindset also in changing my eating habits.
Things that make me nervous about my sway: That I couldn't commit to full time rigious exercise and that I didn't loose weight.
Things worth mentioning: My partner was good with his supplements but didn't dramatically change or commit to food change, also I definitely drank more than I was suppose to I know naughty of me but no spirits just wine. And 2months before my final attempts I quit alcohol all together.
