I agree, Girlsway. I'm really trying to hang on to my diet but it definitely has gotten harder as time goes on.Quote:

Ok ladies I'm torn on whether DH and I should BD tonight. We BD-d on CD5 and now I'm CD9. I got my first flashing smiley on the dual opks today and I normally have 3-4 days of flashing before the solid smiley. So I expect to get a +OPK on CD12 or CD13 & we'll BD probably 12 hours or so after the +OPK. So if we BD-d on CD5, CD9 and CD12 or 13, that would be an E4D pattern (72-96 hours bet. attempts). We don't *need* to BD tonight, as we'll have an attempt at +OPK and today will probably be too far out from O to be viable, but I know Pbn has said it might help in conception to DTD a few times before your fertile period to get the body used to the sperm and less likely to reject it. But we did BD at CD5, so maybe that's enough?
Thoughts?? I basically have this dilemma every TTC cycle! :) :)

I’m doing e4d so would be CD5 & CD8! So if I was you I would :)
Thanks girlsway :)
What's interesting is that since July, we've TTC-d a total of 4 cycles (feels like more than that but I had to take a couple of cycles off after the miscarriages and 1 for fertility testing). We got pregnant on 2 out of 4 of those cycles (my two m/c's), and the 2 cycles we did get pregnant we had 1 or 2 "pre-fertile period" attempts at least 4 or 5 days before O. The 2 cycles we didn't get pregnant on we did not have a "pre-fertile period" attempt - we only had 1 unprotected attempt before O. So I'm wondering if there is something to the idea (at least maybe w/ my body!) that the sperm needs to get "used to" the sperm first!
I agree. I’d go for it today too. Just in case. And this way you will have fresh swimmers for the positive opk day. We had our first of the e4d last night on cd 7. We will continue e4d and thinking of adding at positive opk if it doesn’t land on the 4 days....maybe. We’ve just been trying for a while.
Thanks mwilson - yea it definitely becomes more of a dilemma when you have been trying for awhile and just want to get pregnant but also still want a girl! I'm really hoping this is the month, but I feel like since I definitely know we'll have another attempt in a few days at +OPK, I don't know if it's just doing "harm" to my girl sway to add one in today. Bleh. I'd feel better if I knew our next attempt would not be until CD13 but I have a feeling I might O earlier this cycle. I don't know.... I guess it will be a game time decision again tonight :) Maybe if we do, I'll J&D after 5 minutes or so to just to cut down on the amount that makes it in :) :) :)
Are you ladies doing E4D with 3 full days in between or 2 full days in between? I know Atomic counts either as E4D but I'm just curious what you are doing.
I started with 3 in between but now switched to 2! Hoping it helps in also getting fed up now!
Still doing one attempt over here. This is my second month of attempting and it's already frustrating but I'm trying to stick to it. I'll probably give it one more month then switch to E4D if this isn't successful.

2 between. This is our 7th cycle and last for a while. I usually j & d after 5 but last night waited 15 min before getting up. Not that this attempt will have any left but just in case.
