I think I just might be crazy lol. I am fighting the urge to BD again! I don't think this one attempt thing will ever feel normal to me. I want soooo badly to get preg this cycle.. boy or girl (though obviously I'd be on cloud 9 with a girl!!) for so many reasons.

1: DH's b-day is right around the time I'd deliver. Our angel DD quit growing on DH's B-day this year of all days and I think it bugs him so I think it'd be nice for him to get a baby right around then to take the sting out of a loss on his b-day.
2: As I have said, prob 100 times, I'd like to avoid being preg in May if I can as both my DD and DS loss were confirmed on May 1st 6 years apart so May makes me nervous. This is the last cycle were I know I can avoid being preg in May all together. If I O tomorrow I'd be due May 3rd but because I have to have a scheduled c-section it'll be about a week before then. (might even be able to schedule ON DH's b-day if that is what he wants!)
3: I am freaking impatient lol. I have spent WAY too much of my life TTC. I was over TTC before I even started. I am ready to have a new baby in my arms already!!

So hard not to BD again...

Two... I agree, it's hard to not just try try try.. The one attempt thing makes odds feel so much lower (which I guess is the point.) ugh. I feel ya.

Thanks ladies, I'm going to try not to stress about it. Usually it's no problem for me to avoid the big O, as I rarely seem to be in the mood lately. But of course the cycle when I already thought I ovulated, it ends up happening.

Two - I can definitely see how you are torn. Every month I question if we should just go for an attempt everyday or just shoot for one. If I don't get a BFP this month, we're going for at least 2 attempts next month. Maybe since you're taking clomid and that sways girl, you could go for an extra attempt and still be ok?? I would honestly try to just stick with the one if you think you can do it though.

Two - I know exactly how you feel; my thoughts are this: if you're doing every 4 days, and you get s pos OpK on day 3, Id probably add the attempt. I was first doing e4d and missed it at 0-3, and 0+1 (ish) and then I missed it doing one attempt also do its so hard to know when that second attempt would be anyways.
Are you thinking maybe. E2d?

Sway wise I have a lot of things in my favor. Clomid, zantac (which lower nutrient absorption), a "natural" (meaning I don't make it happen, it just does due to some tummy issues)tendency towards malabsorption of nutrients, etc. I won't claim the diet at this point though lol because I haven't been a good little dieter lol. Plus my angel DD was a no-sway baby... no real sway anyway. I was doing some things that sway but they weren't intentional... just worked out that way. For example, we BD'd 5 days before O then again at midnight the night between O-day and O+1 so we had one attempt... but it wasn't intentional... it just happened that way.

I don't really know whether to give in to increase my odds of a BFP or stand strong and fight the urge to increase my odds of a PINK BFP (assuming I get a BFP at all this cycle...).

Honestly? I am thinking more like every 2 HOURS that is an exaggeration, obviously, but knowing I could O tomorrow or as much as 2-3 days from now, I am kinda wanting to DTD again tonight or tomorrow evening. It's crazy, I know, but with all things considered it is hard to weigh which I want more... a halfway decent sway or to throw caution to the wind and just do everything I can to get that BFP.

I feel you. I call my sway a wishy washy sway. Loads of diet cheats, started off strong with cardio, went couch last 2 cycles, Frequency changes, diet changes... Nothing will be consistent or measurable one way or another. I REALLY with ALL I have hope I nailed it this time. I can't deal anymore. Idk how some of these ladies do it for a year or so.... I marvel at them.

I think I'd quit trying to sway long before then! Yikes.

Hitme - how many months have you been ttc? I feel you, no way can I do this for a year without losing my mind. My sway is definitely wishy washy too, especially since this is our fourth month trying and I started swaying 6 weeks prior to that.

I've had 3 full attempts, and the sway period leading up to my first ttc was a 58 day cycle so my swaying plans were in effect for awhile.
I guess I was hardcore swaying 8 wks before attempt 1. I started skipping meals and practicing eating at the right times in JAN, by March/April I was doing the diet properly, avoiding all te boy foods (of most often anyways). So 5 months of true swaying Id say.
