AF for me today!
Knew it was coming and almost relieved now that I'm on a shiny new cycle!
Was doing e4d last month. Will add in another attempt this time, either with e4d plus an attempt at +opk or go to e3d.
Ready to add in another attempt as Husband is on a different work schedule in June, so really want to get pregnant this month before it gets really tricky fitting in attempts.
Does anybody know what's usually recommended after e4d?

Hi Jennypenny sorry af came :( how long have you been ttc? If less than 3 cycles I would try one more at least of bd day of pos opk. It's just so much work diet and exercise wise that I personally think 3 cycles minimum is ideal before adding attempts. I would also bd unprotected in non fertile periods if you aren't already :) I've already explained why I'm not a fan of e4d but again that's me personally and I never had trouble with my digi opks :)

Thanks pbn3! This will be our 3rd cycle this time.
We did e4d last time and one of those attempts fell on a strong +opk! Think that's why I was so hopeful that I would be pregnant !
What do you not like about the e4d method? X

With e4d I don't like the fact that you have a 50/50 chance of either a 4-o and o day attempt or a 3-o day attempt. IMO and it's my opinion only I find the odds of conceiving from those attempts less than ideal. That's not to say people do not conceive from this at all because I actually think Purple conceived last time from a 3-o attempt however I dont believe its the norm. Yes you hear of people conceiving from even a 5 days before o bd etc but I think things like age, diet (especially when swaying) and quantity/quality of swimmers really do count. But as I said thats my opinion only and the only reason I don't like it is because of that 50/50 ratio as I see it in my mind :) its entirely up to you and if atomic or other swayers suggest e4d then by all means listen to them, me personally in your position I would do one more cycle of one attempt at pos opk (making sure I bded unprotected in non fertile period before hand) and then move on to e3d but I cant stress enough its a personal opinion and you should definately ask the experts what they think :)

Just to clarify the 'dtd unprotected in non-fertile period'. I honestly believe (and again this is my opinion only) that the female body naturally sees sperm as an invader and will try to kill it (we all know this already) my point is this, if you are only dtd once unprotected in your whole cycle then obviously your cutting the odds of conception which of course we knows sways pink, but it can also cut odds of conceiving at all. IF you dtd unprotected in your non fertile window (as in 6 days before o and several days after o) then I believe your body becomes more accustomed to having sperm in it and therefore becomes more receptive than killer queen so to speak lol as it will see the sperm as a (regular) occurence rather than a once a month invader. There has been alot of study on it and you could google it for more info :) if you're so inclined.Again please ask and stick to what atomic and others suggest, my opinion is mine only and I may only believe all this because its taken me so long to conceive. I've done a helluva lot of researching including sites (not related to swaying) outside this site as well. In saying all this of course its possible to get a bfp from one unprotected attempt!!! It happens all the time and seems to be mostly when the people involved aren't trying lol!!

Thanks, that's interesting to know your opinion on it. It is all very much a guessing game (even when I use opks! I may still actually ovulate later)
I will have a read at some recent posts about timing (don't like making atomic repeat stuff she has already answered recently)
My husband is starting to get sick of swaying (feels bad for me !) I try to stay ultra positive In front of him though, but it's nice to be able to come on here to have a moan!! When I got a bit down last night, he was like, let's just have loads of attempts and see what happens next month! Yeah!! A big bouncing boy would happen lol!!
Sticking with the programme, don't want any regrets !
Oh well, roll on May!!

Thanks Jennypenny :) and sorry to keep saying 'my opinion' lol but I wanted to make it clear that I wasn't speaking on behalf of this site or anything which I'm pretty sure you got lol!! Wishing you all the best for next cycle and hope to meet you again in the due date group!

Pbn, great memory about my attempt timing last time. Here is my chart link:

I have no temps this cycle so I'm going by my ewcm and ovulation pain.
Did FF decide that date? What setting do you have it in? It looks like you have lots of negative tests before a positive so maybe you ovulated later or you are just one of those people who take a while to get a positive. It will be interesting to see what your first ultrasound dates as. It is a tricky one so I'm not really sure (plus it is hard to see close up so a link would be good :) )Quote:

We DTD last night. This morning my opk looked negative. So I got pos results on wondfos yeaterday morning and night and a pos clearblue digital yesterday ( it was the first time I used the digital).
I haven't done opks before, it is typical to only have peak for one day?
