    So the idea is, for the first 2-3 cycles have just 'one' unprotected bd at pos opk. All other bding should be done with a condom outside this. After that (because you don't want to be doing le indefinitely) you move onto dtd e4d. Probably best to do a cycle or two of e4d (96hr version so example: af finishes on a monday... you dtd tuesday, saturday, Wednesday etc) then if unsuccessful move onto e4d 72hr version (example: af finishes Monday, you'd dtd Tuesday, Friday, Monday etc etc ) This simply means dtd e4d (whatever hourly version applies) from af end to end of cycle or at least once more once you are sure you've oed. Hope this helps!

    Thanks so much for quick response; so it doesn't matter what you do outside of the fertile window as long as it's just the one within it? If you're one of those who doesn't know when (or if) ovulation is happening, does once per week amount to the same idea?

    I'd wait for atomic to answer that one. I think if you're going the relaxed route of no opks then e4d (96 hour version) may be a good starting point for you. Then move onto e4d (every 72 hour version) after a few cycles if you haven't conceived. Again though, Atomic will advise what she believes best

    Yes that's what we've found - it really doesn't seem to matter if we do abstain or FR or just have hubby "do what he does".

    If you have no idea when you'll O and don't want to try OPK then I'd start off doing e4d in the 96 hour pattern, do that for a few months, then go to 72.

    Aww thanks, it's mostly self inflicted, taking on more responsibilities than I should. Thank you.

    Oh dear, I have messed up here. 11 days ago had unprotected sex thinking that I was well past ovulation and af due in the next day or so BUT the next day I had ewcm and ovulation pain. So, I'm now on cd 47 and hoping not pregnant yet as only been swaying 8 weeks or so. The longest cycle I would normally have is 45 days max but usually 35-40 days.

    I've been taking 4g myoinositol daily but have only just realised that is too much and has probably contributed to the change in my cycle.
