Things that make me feel great about my sway: Using clomid, One attempt, Breastfeeding, No breakfast and No meat
Things that make me nervous about my sway: Going over my fat limitations too often. Not doing extremely intense cardio (some days I was just walking fast enough to heighten my heart rate)
Things worth mentioning: I cannot believe that the clomid helped me get pregnant on the very first cycle! It took 3 years to conceive my youngest DS. I am so excited to be pregnant without having years of waiting. I am just happy to be expanding our family. So far I do not feel like I know what gender baby I am carrying, but I will not be surprised to hear Boy #4.
