Things that make me feel great about my sway: The fact that we had 1 attempt and it worked! Also that it was 33 hours after a positive OPK. I also tried to be diligent with diet and exercise.
Things that make me nervous about my sway: DH was smoking at the time (has since quit) and we have a slightly higher girl ratio on both sides of our families.
Things worth mentioning: I had drank a fair amount of red wine the night BD.
