How many BD attempts did you make for the BFP cycle? 1
BD Dates according to Ovulation
Any additional comments? I had a positive OPK in the morning and we did the deed in the evening.
I had a real strong positive this attempt. Before I had a slow increase of the positive line on the test. This attempt it was the only time that the line was very light the day before and very clear the day of the OPK. I believe that this aspect gave me more chance for a BFP and I believe it came because of the rasberryleaftea. It was the only month I drank that.

Any relevant attempt details? My husband did FR every day. But he really couldn't do it anymore. He stopped doing that with my last BFN. Then he didn't do anything and 2 weeks later we did our 1 attempt on the day of my positive OPK. I really didn't believe we would be pregnant this time.

Things that make me feel great about my sway: The distinct OPK. I never had this before. It was also the attempt with my BFP. I think that OPK was there because of the rasberryleaftea.
I felt different in lifestyle: did like my coffee and wine. I was home for several months and I liked that relaxing time. Felt mentally different than before.
Things that make me nervous about my sway: I didn't do the LE diet, which is an important thing in the sway plan.
Also DH and I gained weight during this attempts.
Things worth mentioning: My DH really believes in using oliveleaf for a girl attempt + rasberryleaftea for DW.
