Hi again...

They really can't be compared because the people doing eveyr 4 days are either on Clomid, have reduced fertility for some reason, or else have gone on a really long time not getting pg (longer on diet) and people in those categories may be more set for pink than those who get pregnant with other methods. This may make every 4 days look more effective than it would be for the average person and until we have more results, I prefer to see most people start off doing one attempt and then you can always go to every 4 days at some point if need be.

You forgot people for whom OPKs don't work or don't work well, or people who have really brief surges and O the same day. We're definitely a minority, but a not insignificant one. Oh, and people who find OPKs too stressful/obsessive.

But to address the original question, every 4 days is supposed to achieve the same effect as one attempt at positive OPK, I.e just BDing once in your fertile period, the 3 days before O and O day itself. The OPK method is probably a bit better both in terms of swaying pink and maximizing conception, but we believe both methods are pretty darn good.

Right, but I don't think that minority of people is skewing the stats because they're not necessarily lower in fertility and more set for pink, if you see what I'm saying.

[maidentomother]

Oh yes, I do see and agree with that.

But side questions.... Are we worried about what hubby is doing? Like bc of my low drive what he's doing on his own in terms of releasing?

Frequency doesn't matter much for a pink sway. DH should just release as usual and make sure there is only one "attempt" inside.

This idea has not seemed to bear out and we are leaving the worries over frequency behind.

I suspect it may sway a teensy amount, but it just gets swallowed up in the overall sway as a whole and also cuts odds of conception sooo much that it is not worth the trouble it causes for people.

Thank you - I am pretty grateful for this.... He's got a crazy high drive; im the total opposite so trying to put him on a schedule would be craziness. I've read a few people do a spill outside then one inside on the day. Thoughts?

Some people do, and the full instructions are in the frequency essay which you can find in the complete index in my signature below, under "hurry up FR".
