Hi there and welcome!
That all sounds like a great sway! BD every 4 days is perfect. The idea is just to have one attempt in the fertile window. I don't think having sex rarely up until your sway would affect anything. How old is your DP? If he's over a certain age, abstinence might not be so good but I'm no expert on that. I'm sure atomic will chime in when she gets a chance.
DP doesn't have to follow LE but it definitely makes things easier for you when you're making meals! Are you taking fiber supplements and folic acid. Folic acid is necessary for anyone TTC of course but fiber sways pink.

Thank you so much for your reply! It's reassuring to see that the things we are doing are going in the right direction! He's going to have some cheat days, but It certainly does makes things easier. Im very lucky that he's being so supportive! I'm 22 and my DP is 31. I forgot to add that I am currently taking folic acid! I have read about the fiber supplements but wasn't sure which brand and where I could purchase them! (Im in the UK) Do you have any recommendations? It's all so overwhelming at first isn't it?

Thankyou for the recommendation, il go there this weekend! Do you take them asap or is there a time limit on when you should start/stop? Also Is there anything I'm missing from my sway? I want to feel like I gave us both our best chance! Sorry for all the questions, I've been visiting the website for the last few months but this is my first post!

I really think everything looks great. LE diet for 12+ weeks, daily 60 minutes of cardio, and 1 attempt in the fertile window are the most important things in my opinion. Daily coffee, alcohol and fiber are good additions too I think.
I take Fiber Choice chewable supplements, 2 with dinner. As long as it doesn't have any added vitamins, you're good. Some people take it everyday, other people just with a fatty or nutrient-rich meal. No time limit, just wean off when you get a BFP.
Ask away!

Ah thats reassuring! Me and DP are also drinking peppermint tea, I don't know how effective it is but any thing is worth a try! Thankyou for your help, I really appreciate you taking the time to reply! Are you swaying or swaying in the near future? It would be lovely to have a buddy!

DH does not need to do LE Diet so if it's really geting to him, he can stay vegetarian + fish and then ease up on the limits!
Can you give me specifics regarding what supps you're considering?
Low libido and reduced sex frequency sways pink.
I would probably have you guys start off having sex about once a week if you aren't in a hurry to get pregnant. I worry that going from having sex super rarely to every 4 days could possibly be a bit more blue friendly than we want to chance. We can start off with once a week and then go from there if you don't get pregnant right away. This is not my standard advice of course so I realize it may be a bit confusing for you but if you do want best chances, I hesitate with you jumping right into e4d given your history.

I've told him that he no longer needs to follow LE now but I think he likes the convenience of not having to cook for himself Supplements for me are folic acid, and I've bought some fiber today that was recommended above. For DP I've considered OLE but have yet to purchase it, is it a good idea? We are both currently drinking coffee and peppermint tea. Thankyou for your advice regarding BD, I will suggest this to him later and FX he'l be on board, I'm guessing releasing on his own would have the same effect? Is their anything else you would suggest for us?

All those things are fine for the supps. Just be sure you're stopping the pep tea at positive OPK or CD 11-13 whichever comes first for you.
No, I'm not talking about releasing on his own, I'm talking about actual intercourse. I would tend to have him "do what he does" as long as he's not having really long abstains (more than 7-10 days) or more than 7-10 days of release in a row.
Atomic, this may sound crazy but I’ve been reading about moon phases… I have a ‘red moon cycle’ currently which I didn’t used to have. Meaning my period is coinciding with the full moon. From...
