Can you use Shettles and 0+12 in the same cycle

Thankyou Maidentomother, i haven't really been strict on the diet as this is more of a gentle sway as i plan on having another bub in the future - so if this baby ends up being a boy, ill go all out strict sway next time haha but i eat most of the right foods anyway.

I think i will BD tonight as its 4 days since last BD, even though my body is telling me i Oved on monday but the OPK strips are saying positive today :worry:

then that will be me for the month!

Monday - I had steady smiley on CBD & almost positive OPK strip (these strips then turned negative until i got a clear positive this morning (wednesday)

Good luck and pinkdust!!

How long have you been on the diet? If over 12w, I would attempt today/Wed. If not, go with the long cut off.

Hi Maiden,

Sorry to jump in but what do you mean by saying if not been on the diet for over 12 weeks to do a long cut off?? Do cut offs help if you haven't been on the diet long enough?
Or am I reading that all wrong? Sorry if I'm being completely idiotic.

Grace, without temping you can't know when you Oed but as those digital OPKs are more prone to errors I'd personally go by the strips.

Pinkbutterfly, no, I didn't mean to imply anything like that. But since time on the diet is the most important factor, I don't recommend having well timed BD attempts unless you've been on the diet for 12+w, or don't care too much about gender. But timing/cut offs don't sway regardless of time on diet, that is for sure.
