comments?

~

I suspect the Vitex threw off my cycle because I didn't get a BFP until cd41 (and I had tested every other day since cd30). So my estimation of when I should O was off, and therefore my cutoff was wrong and we probably bd'd on or around O and maybe even with dh behind me position (I told him no to do that when we were TTC, but he didn't listen, and I thought it was already past O) If I do this again, I'll use OPK's to be sure.

I think I had an okay attempt but thought the diet was evil and just went for it without considering cutoffs etc (and no data seems to support this)
