Is there any specific amount of that are more likely to be successful? Or should I just go for more than I would normally have?

We're trying to save money right now and one of the things to go has been alcohol. Would it likely work to add it back in the month of our attempt, or would it be better to restart before then?

Charting: I get really obsessive when charting. Better to do every four days and not chart at all, than to let myself obsess over the chart and one attempt, right?

I see people having a glass of wine every night. Not sure how long you need to do this for it to work.

Also I know a lot of people in real life who have girls and love their wine/alcohol

We just don't have the data to know this for sure, I'm sorry. It varies by individual as well with a lightweight probably getting results from much less than someone who is a moderate drinker would.

Yes I'd have you skip charting and do every 4 days OR one attempt at pos OPK without the temping.

Thanks! I think I'll try a few months of e4d before trying anything else. When I conceived my sons I was doing 3 OPKs a day... Don't think I should go back there, lol.

Makes sense to me!! I got my girl with e4d (on accident before that was even a thing!!)
