This was my first cycle after stopping both clomid and TBM. I am fairly happy with our attempt, apart from not being confident in the timing. I think I usually O in the morning, which would make my timing a 1.5 day cut off, and an O+20ish. However, clomid changed my O quite a bit and I really don’t know what time I O’d at all. |

I found out Tuesday morning that our sway worked and we are having a little girl!
I believe the factors that made a difference for me were a combination of the diet and supps, as I really felt that these altered my body chemistry. I just felt different, I know this sounds strange, but I dont know how else to describe it! Also, the aci-jel I think helps as I dropped the douche after a few months as it did not agree with me.
HTH
