BFP today! Of course the month things were messed up!
Finally got my bfp today! I was actually hoping I wouldn't conceive this month as it got all screwed up! The goal was one attempt 2-3 days before ovulation but ovulation was delayed and I freaked out and dtd more 😞 Here's my notes for the cycle:
One attempt on June 25th (CD 13) ph was 4.5/5 before, 7 after dtd, fans going, No big o, both smoked an hour before dtd, husband took hot shower
Total mess up month---ovulated later than expected---High opks cd 15&16 Positive opk-cd 17&18 (usually positive on cd15)
*dtd on cd 17(pulled out) and cd 18(first pull out, 4hrs later roughly half pull out)
BFP July 10th- guessing 10dpo

-Saw palmetto 160mg 2xs (took extra pill on 5/29&5/30 due to late opk +

LE diet- not super strict but started beginning of march. no breakfast most days, 1 coffee with milk/sugar some mornings (only a few times this cycle) Still ate meat, no red meat this cycle prior to ovulation. No more eating before bed which was a huge challenge. Drank clear American sparkling water and cherry Coke Zero. Some Coke/Pepsi occasionally.

Prayed a LOT several times a day (and during attempt) for a healthy baby girl
Hopefully I still have a chance for pink!! 🙌🏼
