What should my BD pattern be?

[familymatters]

Ok. No calcium. I really find it hard to fit in any exercise but I'm always on the go now with 2 kids at school and hard to do any cardio with my 3 yr old in tow. Lol! But I do do a lot of walking each day - but not power walking so thwt might not be considered cardio? Is it ok to eat fruit for snack in between meals as I am finding that I am not fitting much fruit at all into each day as yet?

I'm hoping Atomic can clear this up for me, I thought that low-intensity exercise (walking) swayed blue? Because I've stopped going for my walks with the pram, thinking it was better to do nothing at all than a little something. When I conceived my two boys I was going for daily walks with the pram.

Walking does count but it needs to be 60 min uninterrupted, not broken up throughout the day. And I would say brisk walking at the least, no slower.

The intense word was used originally to refer to the amount of time spent exercising (as opposed to a moderate time spent exercising). NOT the "intensity" of exercise. I did not catch it at the time that the word intensity is often used in terms of perceived exertion and if i had a time machine i'd go back and change it, but I don't, so now I just have to keep up correcting it. Most people are doing walking and getting girls with it. Does not need to be Olympic level exertion.

NO ONE should stop walking their baby in a pram for swaying. The last thing I want you guys to do is upend your lives for swaying because it ends up with you thinking about swaying all the time and overly focusing on it. It's great if you can get up to 60 min. at least 4 days a week, 6-7 is even more reliable.

Oh no I didn't mean I don't put him in the pram ever, I just meant I used to go for a big walk around the block every day with the kids in the pram so we could get out and about. Thanks for explaining what you meant, I did think it meant you had to be full-on running/exerting yourself

Does adding intense excercise, like long distance running, over 50 min with a 10 -15 min walk, help over long duration of exercise? I've been running for a few months and have been feeling great. I used to be a runner and slacked after third baby was born. Just curious if it helps!

Another question does 1 attempt have better success over dtd every 4 days? Or are they the same?

Thanks!!

I don't know, but if you can eke out another 10 minutes that will only help. Yes yes adding walking at the end is just dandy, does not need to be ba--$ to the wall all the time.

WE do not yet know about the one attempt vs. e4d yet. Not only is e4d new, but the stats are complicated by the fact that two different groups of people are doing these things. VEry few people start off doing e4d and the majority of people who do it, have some other complicating, fertility-reducing factor which may sway pink. Since being super fertile seems to sway blue, it ~may~ be that people who can get pregnant easily with the stricter sway tactics may skew the stats "bluer" than they really are and I actually suspect this is altering our results the last few months, as the less fertile people have moved to e4d and the results on one attempt seem to have declined a little, but I'm not sure this is a real finding. (this is all very obscure and difficult to understand, I realise)

Atomic - I have always been super fertile. Like, have conceived all 3 babies within the first month of trying. And even last year I conceived within the first month even though it ended in miscarriage. Should I still do just one shot at pos OPK then?

Rules are different for you, my dear!!

You would be one of the people I'd have had start off with e4d for all the reasons we have already discussed.

Additionally, since your hubby will only doff his rain gear for the one attempt, you ARE ALREADY doing one attempt. I don't think we have an option on that, do we???

"doff the rain gear" bahahahaha!!!! I love it. That's hilarious terminology. Can I say I'm tempted to bloody sabotage his precious rain gear? lol! Hehehehe
