I know we should start this pattern right after af, but I typically spot for 1-2 days after my normal flow. Would I wait to start until the spotting is gone or just the normal flow? Thanks!

I have no idea sorry. Just wanted to chime in and ask someone if they know the reason why every 4 days is meant to sway pink? Hope someone answers your question soon :)
Do whatever is comfortable for you and your DH. My spotting is so scant that we don't notice, but if yours is more than that you may not want to. Just keep up BDing until past the latest you've ever Zoe's in case you ovulate later than expected.Quote:

BDing every 4 days is like having only one attempt in your fertile window. Opks don't always work well for people and BDing every 4 days takes a lot less stress out of TTCing.Quote:

I get you thanks XX. Wouldn't the sperm still be of good quality though after 4 days? If you are certain when you O is it better to do one attempt at positive opk with a 7 day abstain instead?
Not necessarily depending on how old DH is. We have found the longer people sway and not getting pregnant, BDing every 4 days promotes better sperm health and helps to get pregnant. Think of it this way, BDing every 4 days is just like having an attempt at the positive opk. Most people start out doing all sorts of sway tactics. As people go on not getting pregnant, they drop all the lubes, jellies, and MAY need to switch to BDing every 4-3 days to get pregnant while keeping diet and exercise (if you're doing that).Quote:

What XX said. I'd start whenever you're comfortable. I personally like BD during AF so I'd start as soon as my cramps abate.
We started last night, but still debating on doing every 3 instead of every 4 with one extra. It will probablh be a last minute decision, but I am tired of opks!Quote:

Currently doing every 3 days and might add an extra attempt last min. I am however checking still with opk and monitor to see if I should add in that extra attempt.

I decided to go with the every 3 days and will decide it I will throw in an extra after my follicle scan on monday....depends on if I am able to get the trigger shot or not.
