The main clues for me were craving meat late at night and having 3 low LP temps 5/6/7DPO. Although I have no breast soreness which I’m finding really odd. It was my first clue last time I was pregnant.
A few things about my diet this cycle as I’ve tried everything over the past 5 months:
I ate a pineapple core and Brazil nuts around 6DPO. I drank a cup or two of cinnamon and clove tea from CD1. I also eat A LOT of avocado and eggs. I don’t know if these things actually contributed to me conceiving this cycle but it’s worth noting 😆
A few details for relevance: I BD everyday during my fertile window, maybe even twice a day and the days surrounding my fertile window too (Used OPKs to confirm). I have never had EWCM in my life (even when getting pregnant previously)!! - I drank 500ml of grapefruit juice and took evening primrose oil everyday in my August cycle to try and produce more EWCM and it made no difference.
Really praying this baby sticks. Baby dust to anyone who reads this 🥰
