What next?

So what really is the diet to sway girl? How much fiber and folate (can't take folic acid) should I do every four days then once at positive Opk?

Missy I think I answered this in another thread, right??

I like you guys to take 1200-1600 mcg (micrograms) folate.

With fiber, please use only the minimum amount on the bottle (this will vary by brand) and only before meals containing fat or fat soluble nutrients (A, D, E) your most common source of fat soluble nutrients without fat is skim dairy. You don't need the high amounts on the fiber package, they are for people with health issues and constipation and not us.

So should someone swaying girl do the every four days plus one attempt at positive Opk?

I think I answered this in another thread but for the benefit of others who are now confused, please keep e4d plus one at pos OPK as a last ditch way to boost conception. NO ONE swaying pink with the exception of people who are in a critical race against time to conceive because they're like 45 or something, should start off doing every 4 days plus one more attempt at positive OPK. That is only for people who have tried one attempt and tried every 4 days and dropped all other sway tactics other than diet and exercise first.

It's my 4th month ttc she did tell me one attempt is a strong girl sway but she didn't tell me when within my fertile window and I know from past attempts bd 4 and 3 days before O the spermies don't survive so I want to get closer to ovulation I was thinking at my first positive Opk this time. Was also thinking about doing the lime tampon but I've read some bad stuff about it ehh.

I prefer people have their one attempt at positive OPK simply because it's easy and good chances of conception. I never advise anyone to BD 4 days before they expect O, and barely tolerate 3 because I have to.

No one who has been TTC for 4 months should be adding in lime tampon. It cuts odds of conception hugely. (your choice, of course, but that's just my take)

Ok, so my period is about to end and I'm preparing for e4d and next round TTC.
Not sure how I should count though? Seems to be different ways. I'm thinking two full days in between? Like this, attempt tonight tuesday, next will be on friday night and then again monday night and keep rolling like that?

There are two different ways to do it. "E4D" is a method, not a set in stone schedule.

Rule of thumb is this: If you want better odds of pink, stretch it to 4 full days (so if starting Monday, your next attempt would be Friday. And if you want better odds of conception (but still a good chance of pink) then do it on the 4th day instead, so Monday/Thursday. Totally up to you based on your preference what you do, and it's of course possible to start off doing Mon/Fri and then close the gap to Mon/Thur for a couple months.

Thank you for sorting that out for me.

I will def. do the shorter span of e4d since this will be my sixth month TTC.
If I suspect that my next attempt will fall out on O-3 (it probably will on wednesday) I will have my attempt at pos OPK instead and then pick up e4d again from that. I must say I'm tempted to do e4d plus one, everything feels quite hopeless. But I will try to fight myself

Last two months I had two attempts at pos OPK (one attempt during three months before that) so I really hope this will do the trick for me.

I believe I have mostly answered this question in another thread. I PROMISE I will answer all questions posted but it makes it much easier if you post only one time. The more repeat questions I get, the longer it takes me to respond to each question.

See how confusing this gets??? I actually reanaswered a question I had already answered in the same thread!!

In that case please feel free to add in that additional attempt if you'd like. I don't want you to feel hopeless!

I believe e4d plus one to be a very good way of conceiving and anyone who's been at this for more than 4-5 months, yeah it's probably time to start adding attempts. Just be sure you've dropped all the other stuff first.

Thank you for cheering and helping!
I actually had an attempt last night at pos OPK. Tonight it' time for the e4d if we can do it. Got a freaking yeast infection all of the sudden �� Sorry for TMI.
So BAD timing and not very nice. BUT Hubby will be gone for eight days next O...buhu. With that said I will be out for two months if this doesn't work.....

Good morning from Sweden (you are at sleep now I guess)

We managed to get a quicky this morning (DD woke up so I only had like 10 min laying flat after but better than nothing and maybe even good given the two attempts). I took a little PH balancing treatment last night and this morning we went for it, not to sperm friendly but I had to.
Don't know if I've Oed yet either but I feel calmer now, we did what we could with attempt at pos OPK (CD11) tuesday night and this morning e4d attempt CD13 (should have been last night).

So, now I'm in the official 2ww again but will continue with e4d in case of delayed O.

Thank you so much Atomic for giving me a piece of your time ❤️
