E3d instead of E4d when swaying pink

[atomic sagebrush]

Yes just let it go now. 2x a week for a nice brisk walk sounds great.

Unfortunately my crystal ball is in the repair shop this week and I can't say if this is ideal for your sway or not but what I do know is that the more you put yourself through worrying about every contingency, that is not pink friendly so I would just do what is going to work best for you to manage. What we have been doing isn't working, so let's do something that you can handle and the nice benefit is that it may also up your chances of pregnancy.

Yes it's fine to simply continue iodized salt. No problem at all.

I'm happy to help! thanks.

You can take B6 if you want to. I tend to frown on B6 because it doesn't help that many people but if you think it will help you, that is fine.

If you want to sometimes I have people add in the lowest dose B12 2x a week as well. These things may sway blue but it may be time to add them.

Please don't worry about the kind of stress you're under, you're simply replacing stress with stressing about stress. But yes, any kind of stress can be harmful to fertility but you can only control the controllable.

Can you go to bed earlier?? I sometimes have trouble with waking up earlier and the only remedy seems to be having a night where I go to bed like at 8 pm and then everything sort of resets. But if you want to try the magnesium it is up to you.

yes yesterday was just spotting, count today as CD1.

If you're getting medication I would not start the B6.

I am assuming progesterone supplements. No, they don't sway blue

It def. lengthens your LP. May or may not help with getting pregnant, unfortunately.

Clomid also helps LP as does Femara.

Yes it's not unusual - most docs will give you Clomid or Femara too, but HCG + progesterone is not unusual at all.

I believe them neutral but don't have the data to back them up.

It is up to you how many attempts - at this point personaly I'm inclined for you to do two, but if you want to give it a month on one, that is of course at your discretion. Attempt day of shot in that case

I would have you do the e4d method regardless if you are willing to. You've been at this plenty long enough now.

Start right away with e4d in case you O sooner than you think you will and then keep rolling with that. In addition to e4d have one more attempt whenever they give you the trigger shot (we will do this instead of the OPK attempt) but CONTINUE doing e4d in addition.

2 attempts has not been that much worse than one. I really, really strongly suggest you do e4d both before and after and then add in the one attempt at trigger shot.. I do not want to take the chance that we have this mistimed and end up with no viable attempt this month.

[atomic sagebrush]

No do just that, attempt Saturday and Monday, that's fine.

Yes it's totally possible to ovulate sooner than CD 21!!!

But also possible to have fertility signs a week in advance of O too.

3 days after O generally

Yes do OPK. No e3d. I am not the biggest fan of that

Hi Atomic

Dont know what method you would call mine.. but we dtd Wed and then Saturday and then Wed and then Saturday again.. Yesterday (being Saturday) i got a Positive OPK AFTER we BD.. And today, (being Sunday) got another positive. I would say slightly darker.. I know you say to dtd at first positive, not the darkest... BUT.. just because both DH and myself are 40 and we have been ttc a whilst.. would you recommend we dtd again tonight just based on the positive opk again.. OR am i in with a shot with the attempt from yesterday morning??...

We were doing the one attempt at positive opk but no BFP for quite some time.. We have tried the e4d method for 2 cycles..

I dont have a coin to flip.. Lol
