Yes as long as you don't have PCOS.
Whole wheat, multigrain or refined flour.. Anything is allowed as long as I stay in my limits
Yes. We started off thinking whole grains might be bad for pink but over time we've not found that was true. So now we allow anything you like within the limits.
The exception is people with PCOS. PCOSers (and also anyone on the PCOS-type diet for egg quality, weight loss, insulin resistance) needs to do whole grains only.
Thank you for your quick response atomic....
Hopefully everything goes on well during my sway
Me too! Good luck and pink dust!
Hi atomic..
Another month of unsuccessful attempt. It's been 3 months since ttc. I would want to know if I had to bring any changes in anything I am doing. I just want to conceive ASAP (I know it's not too long but coz of some personal issues)
I would want to continue with 1 attempt.. Can I drop J&D? Or is it better to start E4D??
I do 70-75 mins of cardio daily. Can I drop it or any recommendations atomic??
3-4 cups of coffee everyday..
Thank you! Sorry for the trouble..
Good luck. I hope you conceive soon and get your girl. For what it’s worth, I got pregnant on one attempt when I dropped j&d. I laid down for at least 10 minutes and then I tried not to lose too many when I used the loo & cleaned up (like I activated my pelvic floor if that makes sense). I have to use the loo after sex (or I risk UTI) so I couldn’t lay flat all night.
The other time I got pregnant with my CP I did j&d after 5 min but my timing was perfect in terms of OPK and every other month I did j&d I ended up with bfn.
I’m sure atomic will have great advice for you!
Thank you so much DOD.. I think it's better to drop J&D..
And what about pillow under hip, does it really work?? Did you do that when you got your Bfp? (If you don't mind)
I’ve never done pillow under hip so I can’t speak to that. I know I’ve read atomic suggest spend part of the time after intercourse on your stomach.Quote:

I don't think pillow under the hips makes any difference in comparison to laying flat.Quote:

And any advice on cardio atomic??
Thank you!
an unprotected attempt on CD 5 is irrelevant, doesn't matter either way. Do e4d for better chances of conception, one attempt for possibly better chance of pink.
I'm not understanding your question on cardio? 60 minutes, 4-7 days a week
Thank you atomic I ll continue with one attempt...Quote:

Thank you..
Yes if you're doing it every day and would like to reduce to 4x a week (even when not in 2ww) that's fine.
I prefer you guys keep doing cardio all month though in case you don't get pregnant. I don't want you to go on and off cardio.
Thank you so much atomic.
I ll do it 65 mins 4× week...:agree:
Good afternoon..
It's been 4th unsuccessful month ttc, so had been to the doc yesterday. She said to get a blood test and abdomino pelvic scan done if it's takes six or more months..
Doc recommended to take ovabless tablet for a month to conceive. Will ovabless alter my pink sway in anyway, will that sway blue?? I am worried to take as I don't wanna ruin my sway after coming so long..
Any advice appreciated atomic. Thank you!
Do not take Ovabless. There are things in there that will really mess up your cycle and make it take longer to conceive, there are things in it that sway blue (not only just all the vitamins in it, but also some of the other ingredients like green tea and arginine)
Tell me everything you've done the last months and I'll tell you what to do differently.
Oh God thanks I didn't buy those tabs. I wonder why my gyno recommend this to me. My cycle are pretty normal and I deffo don't wanna mess it.. Thank you atomic..Quote:

This cycle AF started 3-4 days earlier, this is very unusual for me..
Now I dropped walking completely, came down to one large mug of coffee everyday. Decided to go with E4D now.. Rest all I am continuing with the same..
I don't know why they recommend some of the things they do. I assume they just havent gotten the same level of experience firsthand with having people taking them. I'm here with you guys every day, so when certain herbs and supplements make people's cycles go strange, I see that for myself and a doc seeing people only every few months may not see the cause and effect so clearly.
It's time to go to e4d method. Starting after your period ends, have unprotected sex every 4 days (72 hours or "Monday/Thurdsay" pattern, whatever is easier for you to understand) and continue this on until you're certain you've ovulated, even if this means going all the way till your next period begins.
When you say "at least 15-16 hours" that should be AT MOST you do. If you're fasting longer than this sometimes, please stop. 12-16 hours max.
What is your calorie and fat intake (and protein, but that is least important)
Drop fiber if you're using it.
I definitely prefer not to take ovabless, I am not taking it atomic. Thank you.Quote:

Some days the time between meals go more than 16 hours, so will limit to 15 or less now... Can I include an egg daily??
I am not taking fiber.
Roughly, Calories- 1400-1600
Protein- 45-50g..
Fat- 35-40g..
Carbs- 150g (50%)..
That is it atomic.
And for hubby nothing at all now, dropped everything on 2nd month ttc (hibby don't know I am still swaying)
Yes an egg daily or 4-6 over the course of a week are fine.
Let's up fat to 50-60 g.
Thank you atomic..Quote:
