Things that make me feel great about my sway: I lost weight and did change my diet to one which was v different than when I had my DS
Things that make me nervous about my sway: I barely had any time to actually implement it so I feel like it had barely started to take effect.
Things worth mentioning: I hadn't decided for sure if i wanted to TTC - I desperately want a girl and I wanted to make sure I was happy with both. As such I wasn't really thinking too much about it then - it wasn't a really planned and calculated attempt. DH and I had been frosty for a few weeks as he wasn't being forthcoming with discussing whether we would TTC. We had a discussion that night, he decided he did want a 3rd, we BD without too much thinking, then I freaked out the next day as I wasn't sure I had decided fully, and we BD again with protection.
