Things that make me feel great about my sway: the BD pattern ( got in alot of attempts) , Using preseed and the Guafensian syrup
Things that make me nervous about my sway: Should have drank more lemon water, that i didn't stick to the diet as well as time went on and i was getting negative tests bc i was getting frustrated. That my husband and i always just have bad luck and often just have things not work out as we hope. We were away for 2 days at Great Wolf lodge the 2 days before i got my ovulation positive, so i wasnt following the day as closely as i should have been those 2 days leading up because we were not at home and was busy with the kids, and less control over what i could get since we had to eat out.
Things worth mentioning: drank alkaline water through my sway, did all of the drinks - gelatin, coconut water leading up, V8 everyday, juice everyday, etc but could have drank more lemon water.
