Used a little bit of pre-seed with each dtd. O-2 had ewcm that stretched 4 inches and was copious. O-1, clear and stretchy 2 inches, didn't check O day, but I usually dry up a lot by then.

Things that make me feel great about my sway:

Weight/muscle gain, protein content, conceiving in the first month, EWCM strength, general feeling well on diet

Things that make me nervous about my sway:

Not enough sodium and potassium (although, all of my potassium came from food, so absorption should be good). I also did the IG diet with DD2 and although I had good ewcm, I lost weight and felt sick (and so did DH), so having swayed before, I feel like I won't succeed.

Things worth mentioning:

I'll update when I find out! I think swaying does work, but it is hard when you lose the odds.
