Any relevant attempt details? I did not j&d for the attempt I believe I got pregnant on. We DTD 5 days after pos opk, but there is no way that my BFP is from that second time (I'd only be 5 DPO at BFP)
DH helps himself daily (always has). He had done so the morning of our attempt as well (because I didn't get my pos OPK until mid afternoon and had no idea it would come so early)
SUPPLEMENTS USED
DW Supplements
DH Supplements -
Any additional supplement info? on prescription folic acid 5 mg due to the fact my OB believes my last m/c (2nd tri) was due to a neural tube defect
Did you do anything with Ions? I have no idea about ions. So, I'm guessing no.
Moon Phase during conception? New Moon
Did you use any Old Wives Tales? Chinese calendar says girl :P
Things that make me feel great about my sway: being on the LE diet/vegetarian for more than 2 months, usually remembering my fiber supplements
Things that make me nervous about my sway: no exercise, cheats, not losing much wait the month before BFP
Things worth mentioning: I hope the changes I made was enough to move me into a pinker lifestyle. At the end of the day, I just want another healthy baby. I hope with all my heart that this baby bean sticks and is healthy. If the baby is a girl, I will consider myself triple blessed!
