    FR every 4 days successful?

    We were going to abstain until I get a positive OPK, maybe release before dtd too? I read on here though that people got the highest results from FR every 4 days?

    Can anyone recommend supplements/vitamins for husband and I?

    THANK YOU!!

    Just one BD at positive OPK is still the strongest sway tactic IMO, so what DH does on his own or with you using a condom before that one unprotected attempt doesn't really matter. Do what makes you both happy.

    You should only take folic acid, DH can take licorice root and/or olive leaf extract.

    My Ovulation Chart
    currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP

    TTC #1 - swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!

    Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
    Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after remověng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic

    Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
    My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
    Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

    I can't recommend supps/vitamins without a sway questionnaire because not all tactics are appropriate for eveyrone and I don't have your personal info.

    RE every 4 days - I still think that the absolute best of the best of the best sway will be frequency pattern (like abstain) + one attempt at pos OPK. So I generally have people start off doing that, and then over time if BFN, switch to every 4 day then.

    But if you're in a hurry to get pg, never get pos OPK, or it just seems like too big a PITA, you can of course always start off with every 4 day, it worked for me!!!

    It is frustrating not getting pregnant quickly, but I would really love a girl so I would try whatever's best. With my boys we had quite a few attempts, I didn't really know when I ov'd. It took us 4-5 months to get pregnant too! I did all the boy things...like laying there for ages with my legs in the air & the big O. My cycles are random 28, 30, 34, 29 - so I will be using OPK to pinpoint when I ov for our first attempt. Will be buying a plan from you very soon! I also had a very boy friendly diet.
