Wow that’s a perfect example, what time(s) of day did you test ? x

Twice a day at 12:00 am and 20:00 pm. I was adviced to test twice a day so I would not miss my peak.

Hi all. Can I join your group? Planning an attempt this cycle. I am on CD 6 now. Have been on the HE diet since September. Before that i lost a lot of weight about 40lbs on a low carb high fat diet (ketogenic). I am still slightly overweight though, so i am worried about gaining too much weight on this diet.

So far i am keeping my calories between 1800-2000. It helps that the majority of my carbs come from veggies. No matter how hard I try, I cant seem to get up to the 9-12 servings of veggies recommended here. What do you guys eat?

I never get ewcm, so i am taking grapefruit and lemon water daily. Started taking a tablespoon of robitussin yesterday. I also intend to use preseed.

So far we have been DTD every other day. Still worried because i have always believed in Shettles timing. My two daughters are Shettles babies and i always felt i would follow Shettles timing for a boy. So still unsure about how to proceed as per timing.

Welcome and nice to see you want to write with us! What I have read is that atomic recommended to be at LEAST 6 weeks on the HE diet before the first attempt! If you want certainty about your attempt ask the atomic for advice. Because I have also read you lost weight before starting the diet. I can remember that I had read in one of the threads that losing weight is pink friendly. Again, I am not an expert so ask the atomic for her advice!

May I ask you something? How do you monitor the amount of your calories? I really do not know how many calories I get in a day and that fact makes me nervous because I doubt if I am getting the right amount per day! I do not manage either to eat 9-12 servings of veggies a day! Gosh now I am scared!

Did u get your girls by having one bd at o day?

My boy was a Shettles timing baby too, so I feel nervous about timing..atomic recommends 3 attempts, one on evening of O then once on the next morning and then the evening, however also have success from one attempt at O which is Shettles method anyway ... I’ve not decided yet wether to have 1 attempt or 3. I definitely am not ready for trying every other day, i understand the theory behind it but it’s just so far from what I did to conceive my son so I’m scared to try that. What is everyone else thinking to try ? x

I have 2 girls. I never heard if swaying before finding this site a few weeks ago. Both times we dtd every 2-3 days a week or so before O, then when I got positive opk we dtd each day for a few days (on dd2 only as never heard of opks before her!)
I'm a little nervous dtd x3 at O might also swing pink but if my baby is meant to be a girl then so be it.

Do u hold pee for 4 hours hours prior to testing? I find it extremely difficult to hold for even 3hrs at a time! Does this really matter?

Any idea of which clearblue is better? The pink or purple?

No I dont hold the pee for hours but I don’t drink water at least 3 till 4 hours before the test!

And about your question about clear blue..I don’t use clear blue but I think the pink one is better! It is clearly indicated by a smiley if you have reached your high peak! The purple one is unclear because he has multiple options

The patron is recommend to sway blue. That’s why I am scared to bd every other day unprotected! I will stick on the 3 attempts after having positive opk! I am confused!!! Have to read more successful stories and see what they did when they were swaying

That's a good idea. I drink a lot of water so I'll restrict it a bit.
Thanks for the tip 're clearblue. I've only ever used the cheapie internet ones but I hear these remove interpretation.
