Things that make me feel great about my sway: My lifestyle was definitely different than when I conceived my boys. I stopped snacking, I wasn't taking a bunch of different vitamins and supplements for fertility, I wasn't doing SMEP and tracking every detail related to TTC on a color coded spreadsheet.
Things that make me nervous about my sway: My diet wasn't very good the month I conceived, I wasn't exercising, and weight loss had slowed. I still feel like it happened "too fast", and I'm worried that overall fertility could sway blue. Of the 6 cycles we were TTC, we were doing a lot that can prevent conception for the first cycle or two, and didn't get a well timed attempt in at all for two, so it feels a bit like we conceived on the second cycle of "really" trying. I was a little more focused on TTC and swaying the month I conceived than I had been. Part of me just doesn't think I "can make a girl" with my history, even though I know better.
