Things that make me feel great about my sway:

This was literally like turning my previous diet on its head. I built a good amount of muscle. I must have been a very different environment from when I conceived my daughter. I was all long-distance running, low-cal and artificial sweetener back then!
Orgasm after BD, using Preseed - all completely new.

Things that make me nervous about my sway:

I had to take clomid 50. Only did one cycle, but it makes me nervous.
I also have to take an antihistamene which makes you drowsy in order to sleep. I reduced the dose by a quarter, but I was still on it.

Things worth mentioning:

DH avoided hot baths but did not do any weights or exercise himself. He's 10 years younger than I am, so even though I'm almost 40, he might balance things out a little.

Congrats again TM29!! I can't wait to guess your nub!

[tm29]

Congrats again TM29!! I can't wait to guess your nub!

Thank you so much to all of you. I think it was a pretty good effort. I wish I had been able to get rid of the anti-histamine from my life, but I'm really dependent on it and I decided insomnia would wreak worse havoc than the medication. But it's scary reading that people take anti-h to sway pink!!! Ugh.

Jana, I wonder if I'm going to be brave enough to post a nub or even look at the screen at my scan this time! I'm scared!

[atomic sagebrush]

and just to reassure you or anyone else in this same boat - antihistamine had not been getting stellar results for pink anyway (about same results with or without it) and I do believe (strongly) that lack of sleep sways pink in a big way.

You done good TM!

[Nahri]

Have no fear I know some heavily dependent allergy sufferers that are on antihistamines like tic-tacs and still had boys. So don't read too much into that one! Congrats on your BFP!
