Every 4 days...

So if I DTD on Sunday, does that mean another attempt on the Thursday or is there supposed to be 4 full days in-between?

Thursday, 3 full days in between x

Thursday, I think we're in the same boat, I started DTD on the 14th, 18th, 22nd and due my 4th attempt tonight the 26th.
I have no idea what day I ovulate as I was on the Pill until early April and I'm still breastfeeding DS3. I don't even know how long my cycles are as I had 6 periods in the past 4 months 4 of which were only in February and March.

Thanks girls! X

Flowerlily, I'm the same in that I don't know what I'm doing with ovulation as I've recently had a miscarriage and haven't had AF back yet.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

How long have you been on the LE diet?

[Pinkbutterfly16]

Nowhere near long enough to be honest! How long have you been?

5 months with 2 weaks off in March, we went away on a holiday and I just ate whatever everyone else was eating except I wasn't eating breakfast, but still would eat until 1am on some nights mostly junk though.

What about exercise, are doing anything?
I have been doing 1 hour long 5/6 days a week since January excluding the 2 weeks on holiday, either walking on the TM or pushing the buggy with Ds2 and Ds3 while I pick Ds1 from school (I only do 3 days) or zumba to my favourite songs on YouTube, I made a play list for 30 mins and just repeat again with a big smile on my face and to be honest I liked dancing most but only did like 2/3 days a week.

Most would do Thursday. This is a good balance between odds of conception and being in with only one attempt in fertile window and that is how most people do it.

THat having been said if you are not in a hurry to conceive and want better odds of pink you may want to give a full 4 days between (s0 this would be every 5 days instead really) That way there is NO possibility that you have O-3 and O Day attempts (which can of course be two attempts, kinda sorta not really but still LOL). It's all about what you personally want from your sway. Even e3d is a valid method if you want to up odds of conception.

so nutshell version:

If you want to have better odds conception but possibly higher chance of blue, e3d (Sun and Wed. 2 days between)
If you want a good balance between odds of conception while still good chance of pink, e4d (Sun and Thurs 3 days between)
If you are ok with lower chances of conception for possibly a better pink sway, e5d (Sun and Fri 4 days between)

All of them still have the benefits of regular attempts without the stress and effort of opk or temping/charting. :)

I've started an hour on the cross trainer, and I walk with my 8 month old little boy in the pram quite a distance on the days I don't fancy the cross trainer.
I'm naturally a couch potato though so finding it hard! I think I remember reading to either do the hour of exercise or nothing at all though? Unless I'm imagining I read that. I'm definitely better suited to nothing at all haha x

Atomic, thank you, you are wonderful :)
I think we might start off with the every 5 days.. As we aren't in a massive hurry after my recent miscarriage (would like to give my body some recovery time even though I'm so anxious and impatient to start trying for a girl) so the every 5 days actually suits us to begin with x

Our results have been so excellent on the exercise though that whenever it's possible, I do recommend it if you can. That being said I got my girl without it.
