    Thanks Deaks, that's interesting about your luteal... How short did yours get? Have you had success with a BFP yet?
    I have no idea what my lp was doing with my 2 boys, I was TTC happily with no swaying knowledge : )
    I am def leaning towards dropping the 0+12 though..

    The LE Diet is a safe and balanced diet and is meant to be something you can stick to indefinitely to allow yourself freedom to pursue as many sway tactics as you want. it is MUCH easier to stick to than IG Diet and also healthier.

    RE your attempt - I strongly urge you to drop O+12. It makes it next to impossible to get pregnant and all the people who swear that they got pg on O+12 miscalculated O, got pg from sperm that survived from an earlier attempt, or released two eggs and hit only the second. Many eggs do not even LIVE 12 hours past O and they are deteriorating by then and may not be able to be fertilized. Sperm takes a minimum of 4 hours to capacitate (and maybe longer in the harsh conditions created by swaying) so O+12 is a really bad method to TTC.

    Timing does not sway anyway. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...le-timing.html

    Disadvantages of O+12 is here: http://genderdreaming.com/forum/ttc-...es-o-12-a.html
    I appreciate your reply, you must be super busy : )
    I am fairly sold on dropping 0+12 this cycle, I need to make some changes!
    I have briefly looked though the Dream Member section (purchased yesterday). There is so much info so I need some quiet time alone and get stuck into reading more.
    Thanks for your support X

    Hi Maple, sorry only just seen this. My lp got as short as 7 days at one point but more usually around 9 days. After charting for months and months and two chemical pregnancies, i finally persuaded my doc to put me on progesterone crinone. I conceived pretty soon after and so far so good though i obviously had to keep going with the progesterone for 3 months. I wasn't really keeping that close an eye on things with my previous pregnancies but i definitely know that i had more or less two weeks after my digital smiley before getting af. I really hope you can find a way of lengthening your lp soon as i know how hard it is especially while being on any kind of sway diet...just makes it feel like such a waste of your hard work. GL!

    One thing i wanted to add, what also helped me get pg was that instead of dropping o+12, i actually kept bd for a couple more days... turns out i ov really late but just hadn't realised it even though i was temping. i think those charts can be tricky as so many things can affect your temps.

    Interesting!!! That is totally the drawback of limiting TTC to one attempt - if you O early, late, or just at a different time than you think you do, you may as well be on birth control!!!

    Hey Deaks!

    Yes, my FF charts sure can be tricky.. I would not rely solely on them for an attempt. I am using OPKs, OvaCue, BBT, and hope that between all of that I can pin point O day!

    It's a stressful business this swaying!

    Happy

    Update!

    We made our attempt when I got a + OPK this cycle! No 0+12 this time : )

    I feel really good about it too. I did not worry too much about Ph and didn't use any gel/lime immediately before or after BD. I thought maybe I would panic, but I did not.

    So here's hoping this months it for me. I reckon I have a better shot this time than my other attempts anyway!

    Atomic - if this is a BFN, I might have to get you to help me with my supps list. I don't think I can spend anymore $ on cranberry tabs, it's been 6+ months of it!

    Hope you are all good XX
