So, what you're saying is what I'm experiencing is just some type of DILD that doesn't have an easily identifiable trigger? And yes, I've succeeded in a MILD once, which I've been practicing since that seemed to be the closest to what I've been able to do so far.

And to everyone else, thank you for all your comments and shared thoughts/experiences, I don't feel like I'm doing something wrong anymore.
