E4d or positive ovulation test
Ok not sure what to do
I'm a very stressy/anxious person
Have never used ovulation strips in my life
Are the expensive? Where do I get them from?
When do I start using them? Do you use them every day?
So many questions
Would e4d be better? As would be stress free and more relaxed
Or is the other way much better results?
Partner is up for either so the decision is mine
Of course whatever I choose if I get an opposite (which i would cope with obviously) I would always blame myself! And worry I didn't do everything perfectly as I'm doing quite a relaxed sway, just LE diet very occasionally going slightly over on cheat days! (as I don't want to become obsessed)
Advice please xxx

Ok, first off...BREATHE. You'll be okay! If you worry about stress or becoming obsessive, just stick with E4D so you're not analyzing every OPK and obsessively peeing on sticks. lol There will ALWAYS be something you wish you would've done differently if you get an opposite even with a "textbook" sway. The thing is though, there is no perfect sway! Just relax. Atomic always says to control what you can and let go of the rest. Listen to her. She's a wise woman.

i did 1 attempt at opk with my first sway and e4d this time with my second sway, i can honestly say i found e4d much easier and less stressful i really didnt enjoy having to take opks i had never used them before swaying.
so if you are worried about opk's as ksmom says just relax and go with e4d
good luck xxnow 6blue5pink

I think I have decided to go with e4d
Considering even the thought of ovulation strips makes me stressed and anxious I think it will be so much easier and stress free to do that!
Do I start from last day of period? Or does it not matter?
I finished my period a few days ago, had sex last night (Monday)
So would we have sex on Thursday?
And then again on Monday?
Is that how it works?

from the posts ive seen most people have 3 days in between bd so for you that would be:
bd on monday (which you did) then bd on friday then on tuesday then on saturday etc etc that is the pattern i followed this time, 3 clear days between each bd.
though the nice thing about e4d is you can stretch it further for longer time between bd if you want OR if your not getting bfp you can bring it in to 2 days between bd to up your odds, so for example bd monday then bd thursday, then sunday etc etc but dont go any closer than that with your attempts you still only want to be left with 1 attempt in your fertile window
i hope this has made sense? id start out with 3 clear days between bd and if no luck bring it down to 2 days between, both are considered every 4 days and yes start the day your period ends and go on until your sure you've ovulated, if not testing opk's then go right through to either next period or bfp xxnow 6blue5pink

Amazing! That's makes sense!
This month i didn't start when my period ended, a few days after, does that matter? As long as it's every 4 days?
If that makes sense
We were away and I don't actually remember when my period ended as was so busy oops x

i dont think it matters just pick up from here with every 4 days thats the beauty of e4d you dont have to stress over dates or opks etc if you dont get a bfp this month then just start from the day your period ends next time i really really wouldnt worry at all about missing a few days this month you will still get 1 attempt in around ovulation which is what you are aiming for xx

When people are doing every 4 days as a method to avoid doing OPK and stressing out, then I think you should actually stretch it another day. So instead of doing Monday/Thursday you can stretch another day and do Mon/Fri or even go longer more like e6 or 7 days instead. E4d done that way is really meant as a strategy to boost odds of conception for people who have been TTC for a while.

Hi everyone, I gave birth to my first lovely daughter in September. I was wondering what would be the best timing to start trying for another girl? Would that be a year after giving birth, 18 months...
Best timing for ttc girl after...
