So many questions about my pink sway...

[atomic sagebrush]

I totally understand that! I just want to know that I have done my best and I'm totally aware of that it's only increases the chances to get a girl, not a guarantee.

I know but I'm not comfortable with telling people that.

I personally would feel good about conceiving the way you did.

Tanks for that It really helps me to relax and be satisfied with myself and my sway. I think that by the feeling that I have done a god sway (and my best) if I'm PG now or when I will be, hopefully, will help me if I got an opposite. The thought that I have done the best I can and the rest is up to the nature calms me down, if you understand how I mean?!

I'd give up at least a cup a day at this point since you don't want to test yet.

Yes, it was a light period or else a little midcycle bleeding and you still have not ovulated this month.

I seriously doubt your issues are PCOS related and yes I believe that the most likely explanation by far is low weight and not eating enough but I have to take that into consideration due to the sugar intake. It is totally up to you if you want to continue eating the candy on the weekend, my chief concern is that you are not starving the rest of the week in order to do that!!

Yes yes please think positive here. This is ok. We have lots of people with a weird cycle or two and then we just regroup and end up conceiving within only a couple months.

I think it is entirely possible you are about to ovulate and I'd be prepared to have attempt.

The other option is to go to e4d (or even e5d) since we don't totally know when O is coming.

[atomic sagebrush]

Either a light period or some spotting with ovulation yet to come (plan works either way)

YOu can get the symptoms before and even slightly after O so I prefer you guys rely on OPK (if not doing e4d.) It is up to you whichever your preference is - most will start with one attempt for at least the first month or two before going to e4d.

I would have you eating eggs and full fat dairy, no skim

People can and do get pregnant with 9 day LP and if it's variable, that's even better. I think this will fix itself over time.

4-6 eggs a week. Yes, you can use the eggs and milk to make up part of your limits for the day but you may need more than the limits (since we are trying to fix a problem here) so you may have to go up to 60 g protein and fat or even more.

No, it's not a problem with your fertility, it is a normal variation. Some of us have that every month.

I would probably go for e4d personally as that is easiest with an unpredictable cycle.

I doubt orgasm does much. most do want to skip it but I don't think it's a big deal, especially if you're not right around O.

Re e4 days - let's say that we BD at day 1 and then 5 (at the evenings), if I ovulate late on day 4, are there any sperms still alive by then? Do I have any chance to get pg in a situation like that?

Most would BD on the 4th day. That would be a better attempt. But even if you did go 1 to 5, you still have the very good cahnce that you would just luck your way into having it right at the right time.

[atomic sagebrush]

Right. No need for OPK if doing e4d.

I cannot compare the two because two different sets of people do the methods. It would be like comparing apples to oranges. Most people who do e4d have been swaying a long time and this may indicate they are more set for pink.

[atomic sagebrush]

That is how most people are doing it. BD on the 4th day. I think it is also ok to BD on the 5th day but it will lower chances of conception.

I do not think you should wait till you have fertility signs to start the BD. It is best mentally to get settled into the pattern beforehand and also in case you O without having many/any fertility signs that month.

I have a funny feeling you may want to try one month wiht one attempt just to see if it can work for you. You don't HAVE to, but just from your posts I feel like you may have a lot of worry about going to e4d if you don't at least try one attempt at pos OPK. It is entirely up to you, it is just the vibe I get from reading your posts. I got my daughter with every 4-5 days (just accidentally, we did not know that was something that could work then)

Yes, you can hold off to test with the opk but be aware it is possible to ovulate without having any fertility signs.

I haven't seen a pattern per se, it is just that the results with exercise have dropped after having stayed consistent and this lines up with the point in time people started doing the 4-5 days (and some of them did even less exercise, even though I did not want them to, so that may have some effect). 70% is still very, very good chances and I do not think it wise for you to exercise any more than 4 days a week anyway.
