Pink Sway - questions

[Pink8081]

so this cycle, about 10/11 days past I got positive opk and I tested today and got BFN. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I checked from all previous months started July to Nov. We DTD exactly on the day of positive OPK and a day or two before positive opk. Also, this month in Nov I got positive opk on CD 12 so we DTD on CD12/13 and 16.

I feel like we are not having enough attempts. Should we go start e3d and then everyday attempt starting when I see positive opk? please help. past few months, I haven't been able to do e4d attempts like I was telling my husband we have to hold off until we get positive opk. may be that was too late??

this cycle I really thought this was my month since we DTD on the day of +opk and next day. please help!!

What I would do is do attempts every 4 days and then add in ONE more attempt at positive OPK. I would not BD every day starting at positive OPK.

I think you need to start your attempts sooner with the e4d and continue them after you think you've ovulated.

I checked back on the previous months. We DTD on the night of positive OPK in Aug, Oct and this month Nov. So we had these three attempts. should we stick with e4d and then one on positive opk? or should we try e3d and one attempt on positive opk? I think I am still confused, please help!

There is no e3d. We only do e4d either in the "every 72 hour" pattern (so Monday/ Thursday is how you count the days) or in the "every 96 hour" pattern (Mon/Fri.) "e3d and e5d" were too confusing and everyone was coutning the days differently.

If you want to, you can try just e4d in the every 72 hour pattern to start with. Adding an additional attempt at pos OPK may be more blue friendly so you may want to give it a month or two on just e4d. It's up to you. e4d may be more pink friendly but have a slightly lower chance of conception, while e4d plus one more at pos OPK may be less pink friendly but with better chance of conception. Pick the option that better reflects what you want to do.
