E4D confusion

Hi all! I'll be starting my sway in a few months and just wanted to clear up my e4d confusion.

Do you count it as 4 days in between each BD or you count from the 1st day and BD on the 4th?

Sorry if that doesn't make sense! Hope someone understand what I mean! :happy:

1st day and bd on the 4th. I was confused about it at first also. Gl!!

Yes so every bd day is the first day and then you bd again on day 4 so really I'd call it every 3 days but can understand the logic behind calling it e4d. So if you bd Tuesday then again on Friday that is e4d :)

lol I'd call it that too englishdame

So do you wait for your fertile window and wait til you get a positive OPK, then DTD , then wait 4 days and DTD again? So if I got a positive OPK on Monday, I'd DTD that Monday then again on Thursday? Wouldn't that sway blue??? [emoji51][emoji51]

The e4d suggestion is a less stressful way of achieving one attempt in the fertile window. Many women doing e4d do it so they don't have to do the stress of opks. Doing this means the one attempt can end up on any day in the fertile window, not necessarily the best day for conception. You may be unlucky with your one attempt not being on the best day in some months (timing had been debunked). Alternatively some women do temp or use opks and in that case you can have your one attempt at +opk.

As a blue swayer my goal would be 3 attempts at +opk.

Yea I have a son and we DTD about 3-4x in my fertile window. I also ate a lot of steak and snacked heaps - aaahhhhh I miss that haha. And ate breakfast. And was just really healthy. Boy swayer without even realising it [emoji23] good luck for blue xxx
