Things that make me feel great about my sway: I was under extreme stress at work, I was sick with a cold at our attempt, I'd lost lots of weight, I think I'd done the best I could
Things that make me nervous about my sway: No exercise, couldn't get clomid without a specialist in my country
Things worth mentioning: After the initial disappointment (there were tears, I'd convinced myself it was a girl!), I'm happy and bonding with my new little man. I'm just so happy to be pregnant and I think the LE diet made me lose weight better than any other diet could. Thank you everyone especially Atomic for all of your help! I'll sway again next time :)
