I know we should start this pattern right after af, but I typically spot for 1-2 days after my normal flow. Would I wait to start until the spotting is gone or just the normal flow? Thanks!

I have no idea sorry. Just wanted to chime in and ask someone if they know the reason why every 4 days is meant to sway pink? Hope someone answers your question soon

Do whatever is comfortable for you and your DH. My spotting is so scant that we don't notice, but if yours is more than that you may not want to. Just keep up BDing until past the latest you've ever Zoe's in case you ovulate later than expected.
GL!

I get you thanks XX. Wouldn't the sperm still be of good quality though after 4 days? If you are certain when you O is it better to do one attempt at positive opk with a 7 day abstain instead?

Not necessarily depending on how old DH is. We have found the longer people sway and not getting pregnant, BDing every 4 days promotes better sperm health and helps to get pregnant. Think of it this way, BDing every 4 days is just like having an attempt at the positive opk. Most people start out doing all sorts of sway tactics. As people go on not getting pregnant, they drop all the lubes, jellies, and MAY need to switch to BDing every 4-3 days to get pregnant while keeping diet and exercise (if you're doing that).
We are finding abstaining isn't helping much, if at all. Best odds of conception= 1 attempt at the FIRST positive opk OR BDing every 4 days.

What XX said. I'd start whenever you're comfortable. I personally like BD during AF so I'd start as soon as my cramps abate.

I'm so tired of opk as well.
Currently doing every 3 days and might add an extra attempt last min. I am however checking still with opk and monitor to see if I should add in that extra attempt.
