People start off their sways with with one attempt. So the people who get pregnant with one attempt are generally speaking, on diet shorter times and are probably more fertile than those who had to go to e4d (because people do switch to this after a few months of BFN). This skews the results to make one attempt look less successful than it actually is. If we were to test the two methods in a study using a randomly selected group of people, only THEN would we be able to really compare them. We just cannot do that now.
Being on the LE Diet can make delayed O and less EWCM. That is probably at least partly how it sways.
OPK can be unreliable and stressful. Definitely. If your cycle goes irregular (remember, this may be pink friendly if it happens on LE Diet) then yes, going to e4d is an option that may help. But do it because it is easier, not because of hte results, since we honestly do not know which one is better. Both are getting good results, that's all we can hope for! :)
