Told 'girl' at 16w 4d and he's all BOY at 19 weeks!
9:30 - Took Mucinex (had been taking Robitussin during the day), BSF, all other supps
10:30 - Gave DH Mucinex & Red Bull
11:30
- Attempt, rear entry, 5mL warmed EWs inserted just before deposit.
Propped hips, had Big O and stayed in position for 45 minutes.
Next morning... Mucinex, BSF and all other supps until confirmed O.
I should mention that apparently FF moved my O date DAYS after it had already confirmed (solid CHs) for me. I think it's wrong given my pattern of Oing on the morning of my 2nd Peak, but worthwhile to mention that my temps pulled a screwy pattern this month. I also want to mention that due to a genetic disorder metabolizing folic acid I couldn't take any supplements or make dietary changes that would compromise my folic acid intake.
