Hi Atomic,
As the world goes crazy around me I’m trying to stick to my sway and have hope! I just have two questions if that’s ok.
I’m sticking to the diet but do miss sweet treats as trying v hard to habs little sugar. Are there any sweet treats you’d recommend?
Secondly, if one attempt doesn’t work then what pattern of frequency should I try?? I turn 41 in a few months time and just worried about my chances of conceiving with one attempt but don’t want to jeopardise my sway too much!
Thank you so much for your help and hope you and your family are all well. Xx

Oh gosh tell me about it!
My rule for cheating on the alternate diet is to simply try to minimize eating sugar, and then if you really want it, figure out the thing you really want and have it. Satisfying cravings in a reasonable fashion is the key to not binging. What happens is that people end up eating tons of things like fruit and bread (also quite carby) to try to stave off the craving, only to say "Oh screw it I've alredy overeaten anyway" and then having a huge binge. Just eat the thing you're wanting to start with and it satisfies your craving for far few carbs.
I want you to IMMEDIATELY (after a month on 1 attempt) go to e4d in the 72 hour pattern (so have unprotected sex starting after your period ends and going thru till when you're sure you've ovulated, Mon/Thurs/Sun/Wed, etc) and then after trying that 2 months go to e4d plus one more attempt at pos OPK (continue doing e4d but add in extra attempt at positive OPK, whenever it falls, whiel contininuing with the e4d pattern.)
My pleasure! You as well!

Just an update. I got pregnant in April but sadly miscarried at 7.5 weeks last week. No idea what gender was. Did it with one attempt. Feeling low but understand with my age this is 50/50 I was told.
Atomic - I plan to wait one cycle before TTCing again but is there anything you think I should change or do new?? Please let me know. I’m
Praying for a sticky pink bean.
Hope you are well and staying safe.

I'm so sorry to hear that - rates of loss are higher as we age but that doesn't mean we cannot still go on to have a healthy normal pregnancy. :heart:
Just stick with the alternate diet (with the full fat dairy only, no sugar, whole grains), exercise if you can, and then do the e4d as I mentioned above.

That all sounds good. Thank you. So straight to E4D and not back to one attempt? Thank you so much again! Keeping everything crossed....🙏🙏🙏

Yep I'd go to e4d now. It's getting very good results and I don't want to spend any more time on one attempt.

Thanks so much Atomic. Here’s hoping...

Hi atomic, just wanted to update you, I got the lab results back because it was a recurrent miscarriage and it was a girl but had trisomy 22 which is why I miscarried. In a weird way I am pleased it was a girl as now I know I can get PG with a girl but also I am so sad I had a female embryo but it wasn't to be. I guess it showed the things I did to sway really helped. I am just waiting for my first AF to show up to try again. Thanks again for all the advice. Best, Tali x

I'm so sorry for your loss - please let me know how I can help!!!

Thanks. I presume I should just stick to the diet and exercise and e4d method from when I next get AF. I am hoping the fact I was able to conceive a girl is in some way good news and I just need a month with a healthy egg!!! Time not on my side but I want to try. Thanks again.
