BEFORE O or AFTER O.....that is the question!

I'm planning exactly the same as you, mochagirl! Let's hope we both get pregnant quickly!!!

I dtd four days in a row after af until 2 days before O which resulted in pregnancy, i tried abstaining with a cut off for a few months and couldnt fall so wanted to try frequent as was worired how much longer i could keep diet up. Dnt know what im having yet though

Thanks for your input Mochagirl and also thanks for sharing for your plan swish, I too think I am planning day of first positive OPK, but was hoping to wait until July. I may have to give it all up to add more calories-and wait until a later month, this diet is killing me. Is any of you using a ClearBlue Fertility Monitor? I ordered one and was hoping to use the first egg sign...not sure if the first cheapie pos OPK would be better...

This is the hardest decision for me when it comes to the sway. I think the first month I am going to go for a 3 day cut off after frequent BD. If that doesn't work then I will do a 2 day cut off, if that doesn't work then i am doing Deanna's plan. If I don't get pregnant during the first 3 months then I am taking the fall and holidays off and will start again in February. Of course I say this now, but I will probably become obsessed and keep trying.

Here's hoping we all get preggo really fast. This diet is NASTY - I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy! I'm constantly daydreaming about all the things I'm going to eat as soon as I get that BFP!

Its like 50/50. Some moms swear that they got their DD's by DTD a few days before O (like the shettles method)

But some swear that its after O.

Can anybody add insight? Or does anybody feel like they are just "lost" as what to do?

I have pretty much figured out I will do the girl diet hardcore for 6 weeks, take all the supplements, testing my PH, shallow almost "pull out" method, and a lime douche. BUT I CANT FIGURE OUT if I should be trying for before O or after O.

1 thing I know for sure is that I am avoiding O. LOL.

I hear a lot of people saying that doing it before O, (shettles method) results in more boys than girls (failed sway).

Any help? The more I research, the more I still get 50/50 answers.

That's because it's quite likely that timing doesn't work at all and so any timing you ask about will have roughly 50-50 odds.

Did you guys see that chart of sorts on IG that showed the % of how many sways ended up successful with all combos of how they sway/what they did......very useful. Makes me want to do diet+supplements+3 day cut off.
