E3d instead of E4d when swaying pink

I think it's time to add in another attempt. Yes, the Zoloft can be hard on the sperm but we've been at this long enough, let's go ahead and try to boost our chances a bit.

Oh and good luck!!!

Yes add in another attempt even though it has been 24 hours since the last one.

I cannot tell you if it sways blue or not. That is beyond my ability to know. What I do know is that everything you have told me indicates to me that you very likely need another attempt and at this point it is absolutely time to start adding attempts.

I would prefer you do e4d plus one more attempt and then keep going with e4d afterwards. E3d can sometimes end up as less than ideal chance of conception, if you end up having O-2 and O Day attempts.

Go ahead and cut back on the exercise. Yes I can hear you're fed up with it and if it makes it easier to stick with the other stuff/diet then that' s exactly the right move!

Sunday would ahve been most likely, there could have possibly been something left from Friday but I'm really glad you had another attempt!! Friday would have been very long odds.

I didn't exercise when I got my girl!

I understand you want to do everything perfect but if you can't get pregnant that way it's no good.

It's fine to keep exercising if you want to, I think it's equally fine to reduce at this point. At some point many have reduced exercise to almost like a "maintenance dose" and still gotten pink that way.

Yes you are not the only one, not at all, and we get good results with people who have gone a long time not getting pregnant even when they ahve had to relax their sway.

Even as I was writing that I thought "hmm that was probably too complicated." Sorry!

I am trying to say that whether you want to keep exercising or you don't, it is fine either way. I have no preference.

"Maintenance dose" means that we start off doing more at the start and then cut back over time, and even though you are doing less exercise, because you have been doing it for so long, it takes less to get the same results than it did at the beginning. It is like if you had a vitamin shortage, you might need a higher amount at the start but then later on you could take less, and it would keep you at the same amount. (hope that makes sense!!)

[atomic sagebrush]

Yes exactly. At this point, if you have time, exercise, if you don't, that is fine.

I don't want you killing yourself to squeeze that in every day - especially since you've been so active anyway.

How sure are you about when you've ovulated??

Just keep doing the eggs, dairy, and salmon/red meat. It takes time, but it does work. Keep eating upper levels of protein, fat, and calories.

yes you're right, those months of exercise were not wasted, your body still "remembers". I think you are correct that given your short LP you probably need to reduce exercise at least somewhat.

We may want to add in some vitamins if you've been swaying via diet for 6 months - are you??

Why are you sure it was that day, though?? Because the CM dried up?? That's not super reliable. I had EWCM for 2 days after O in the month I conceived my daughter. The reason why it matters is that even a day or two (so like 10 days instead of 8) really does make a huge difference.

I really do think this is just a bump in the road that will fix itself over time. STress doesn't help, that's for sure.

Many of us notice ligher shorter periods while swaying. It seems to be part of the process. I got my daughter the month after a light and short period like you describe.

Exercising on an empty stomach may help your sway. I don't think anyone knows if it helps or hurts fertility, though. Ithink you need to reduce exercise not according to anything I have to say about it but by giving it a pass on the days that it is hard for you or you are very busy/stressed out.

1x a week on salmon. Don't count the fat or protein.

Add in iodine 150 IU daily (as long as you don't have thyroid issues), 8-15 mg zinc 3x a week, plus iron 18-30 mg 3x a week. Optional additions: Vit. D lowest dose you can find and Vit. B12 lowest dose you can find 2x a week.
