Trying to conceive baby girl!

[maidentomother]

Frequency of release just doesn't seem to matter. I would let DH do what he likes outside of your E4D attempts. You can join him with a condom, too.

If it's not a big deal, I would keep nursing as it does sway pink. But if you really want to wean, I doubt it will make a huge difference as you are already nursing very little. And the diet etc will sway more strongly pink anyway.

O does not always or even often occur on a temp dip. More often the temp dip occurs 1-3 days, sometimes more, BEFORE O.

Ok thank
You so much! I think I'll keep this last nursing session and a little extra part for my pink sway!!

Hi and welcome Bella!

What I would have you do in this case, is a newer tactic called every 4 days. It just means that you guys have unprotected sex every 4 days starting after AF and going through till when you're SURE you have ovulated. It's getting very good results for us and is very effective in situations where people aren't getting positive OPK.

I have been on the diet about 12 weeks I have hypoglycaemia so the low blood sugar has been really hard on me. I feel extremely nauseous and dry heave a lot if I'm not getting enough protien. Due to my husbands work schedule we really need to have a baby due date between Jan-April so we are going to start trying this next cycle just in case it takes a couple try's! I understand that the longer I'm on the diet the better shot of a girl but I'm ok with the risk it might not work! I'd just like to up my shot as much as possible.

So I'll BD every 4 days and then hopefully on of those BD is in my fertile time. So if we BD 2 days before positive O test do I still baby dance 4 days later( that's being 2 days past the positive ovulation test or do I immediately try once when we get the positive test?

Thanks!

Yes you continue after positive OPK in case your O is delayed - this is one reason why the e4d works so well, you can't get it wrong, no matter what you're in with attempt even if the OPK are tricky.

Tell me more about your diet, there is no need to be sick and miserable on LE Diet and we can fix it so you are not feeling so bad.

Mistymouse, I answered your question in the other place you asked it

Sorry also to add... My 14 month old is just about weaned only 1 session a day and I'm worried that if I wean him fully this will sway. blue?! Does anyone know if that's the case or if I wean today/tomorrow that next cycle which is about 13 days away I'll be ok to try?! I weaned my first son and conceived my second son the next cycle ��

We don't totally know but we believe that the effects of breastfeeding swaying pink last for months after weaning.

Thank you atomic! I actually finally got a positive ovulation test yesterday 3 actually and a negative today! My temperature dipped this morning and I'm having o pains so I finally ovulated day 24 of my style!! Usually I ovulate day 18 so I'm assuming diet may of caused this! Right now I eat breakfast around 8-9 and it's usually a smoothie made with strawberries pineapple and low fat aspartame yogurt. Lunch is random but usually a sale with lots of veggies and a balsamic vinegar. Dinner I eat whatever I make my family but there is usually a protien (chicken) lots of veggies and some sort of carb. I've stopped re meat although I never used to eat much anyways. I eat at 5:30pm and try not to eat again until breakfast. My weakness is snacking and I like salty foods like
Chips so I'm trying not to eat the salt. I take folic acid and calcium and magnesium. The calcium I've been taking because I've never had much in my diet and my joints have been sore so my dr told me to take calcium. I was dairy free when I got pregnant with both my boys. I do drink a crystal light with added fiber everyday and 2 coffees. My weights around 125ish I'm
5'6

This cycle I've had tons of ew cervical mucus. I think my body geared up around day 18 and then stopped and finally ovulated today. I had a lot of ovulation pain last week and then again today.

Would you recommend every 4 days for next cycle or can we randomly have unprotected sex form say day 5-14 and then wait for that positive test and then dtd or should I just stick with every 4 days no mater what! TIA

You don't need to limit salt at all, it doesn't sway.

I definitely recommend you BD every 4 days all cycle long and stick to it, NOT just BD as much as you like up until a certain CD, as you can't know in advance when you will O and it can change quite a bit from month to month, especially while swaying, as you've just seen. What if you Oed on CD12 next cycle after a week of BDing daily? Then you'd be in very blue territory.

Diet sounds great! FWIW, I personally doubt low calcium would cause sore joints. Have you been checked for arthritis? Also, dairy is not actually a good source of dietary calcium as the calcium in it is not well absorbed. Leafy green vegetables including broccoli are the best sources of well absorbed calcium.

Oh good I'm glad!

Most of us have totally given up on sodium. You can limit it if you want to and believe in it, but our results have only gone UP since most of us stopped doing that aspect.

It's really up to you what you do in future months - but I would NOT have random unprotected sex - what happens if you O on CD 14 next month and have just had 3 attempts???

calcium is what doctors tell people to take whenever there is unexplained bone or joint pain and the doctor doesn't feel like investigating any more. "Oh just take some calcium, it'll clear that right up" no it won't
