COMMENTS Although I was only on the diet and supps for 4 and a bit weeks I feel pretty happy with my sway. The timing is a big issue for me now as I can normally read my OPKs but this month I had problems reading them (a bit nervous I think). We went for a morning attempt and with me on top as this is the complete opposite as to how we conceived our daughters. If I am pregnant I would of conceived under a Leo star sign and in a Leo star sign phase ( both very strong boys signs). This was pretty important to me so that’s why I waited to do my attempt in the morning when the star sign phase crossed over from a girl sign into a boy sign. Should also add that I ate a Banana 1 hour before our attempt to get the bloody sugar levels up and a glass of tomato juice. (how nice at 4am! LOL)No we just have to wait to see if there is a sticky bean J Healthy and preferably a BOY
