Please explain girl sway diet +every four days do I add one more attempt at positive Opk?

[Missymaemar3]

I am new and just learning how to post so sorry for repeating anything if I asked one or two of you guys lol 😂 forgive me I'm a noob.
I've been doing this and that keep reading things for girl sway and having to stop bcuz it's really not girl friendly. So here I am... I'll start taking fiber asap and folate (can't take folic acid) only and cut down on meat no red meat at all lots of veggies and fruits but which can I actually eat and which should I avoid I keep reading different things I just need something straight up eat this not that bla bla.

I did a three day cut off but no spermies obviously survived so I'm wanting to do the every four days instead of every other day because that is boy friendly)) I stopped one day before I got my positive Opk and I ovulated 2 days after my first positive Opk for a fact 100 percent bbt)) I'm wanting to do a attempt at first positive Opk so is every four days plus one attempt at positive Opk still okay for girl sway?? Thank you all💕💕

You can eat whatever foods you like, as long as it's within the limits of 1500-1800 cals, 50-60g protein, 30-60g fat. Taking folate is great and cutting down on meatis great too. Some of us found it easier to stick to LE limits by going vegetarian. Unless you're doing the PCOS version of LE which should include small amounts of meat.

I would BD every four days or one attempt at pos OPK, not both.

I'm just worried doing the every 4 day because I don't want to bd on ovulation day that's how I had my son I waited 4-5 days not intential and then my temp went down and I bd and got pregnant with him. I'm using Opk this time I bd the night before I got my positive Opk and didn't bd till after ovulation I ovulated two days after I got my positive and three days after bd and no spermies were left I guess since I didn't get pregnant lol so I wanted to try once after I get my first positive then stop should I bd only once or twice a week then?

Timing doesn't sway. One attempt in the fertile window seems to sway pink according to our stats. I would either have sex every 4 days after AF is over OR have an attempt when you get a pos OPK. If you decide to BD once you have a pos opk, you can start BD every 4 days until bfp or AF shows up just in case of late ovulation. Of course you can do what you like but these things help sway pink.

How many times should my husband 'release' for girl friendly he's taking cranberry and licorice root im going to be taking fiber and folate since atomic said that's the only things they suggest now plus I'm taking vitex but my husband is 27 I'm 24. In thinking I'll bd only once in fertile window when I get my first positive Opk and do the every four days I temp too and I usually o 2 days after first positive Opk. I'm just so confused with the diet thank you for helping btw

He should take either cranberry or licorice, not both. Personally I wouldn't worry about him releasing because I think it causes husbands too much stress...or at least for mine it did. I've seen atomic post about vitex saying it just messes up cycles but I'd ask her to be sure.

[Missymaemar3]

Oh why not both I never heard that before? I have to be on vitex because my cycles are over 40 days and it makes me regular and helps me ovulate it only messes cycles up who are regular.

Folate is better anyway!

The way I prefer everyone do their attempts is to first try a couple months with one attempt at positive OPK, THEN go to every 4 day method, and only after you have tried both of those things, only at that point go to every 4 days plus one. I believe e4d plus 1 could be potentially blue friendly so I would not have you go right to that.

The odds of pregnancy with a cutoff of that long are small, so before going to e4d plus one, I'd have a month or even two with one attempt at positive OPK, then another month or even two or even three LOL with every 4 days, and only at that point in time, add the additional attempt at positive OPK too.

E4d plus one is meant NOT as a strong pink sway, but as a way to boost odds of conception. So no one go into that thinking that it's advised for anyone except those who need to get pregnant sooner rather than later. If you have the time to spare, try some of the other methods first.

No, whoops, it is LR or peppermint tea and then OLE or Cranberry.

LR and cranberry are ok together.

If vitex is helping your cycles then it's fine to continue with it - it lowers hormones so is good for people who have some PCOS tendencies (but to be honest, it's MUCH better to correct those via diet and exercise instead of relying on vitex) and then since most people end up with too low hormone levels while swaying on sway diets, it ends up messing up cycles for lots of people, even at times those it's seemed to help before.
