    What else can I go to get a BFP?

    Been ttc the last 3 months... Am on CD 1 again.. *sigh*
    Have been doing a laid back girl-friendly diet, but keep 12-15hrs break in between and avoid snacks.
    Salad/ vege only for lunch while dinner is normal but restricts my meat intake.

    Not using OPK..
    BD based on CM sightings once every 4or 7days... (not sure if this is 1 attempt)
    girl on top position...
    lie down 15-30mins after BD
    I'm 31, DH age 35


    Anything else I can do to increase my chance?

    If you're sometimes only bding every 6 or 7 days, you may not be getting a viable attempt in. I would either use OPKs and have an attempt when it's positive or BD every four days. Three months of TTC is not a long time. It can take normal healthy couples up to 6 months and even a year of trying before getting pregnant. Good luck!

    with all of this!!! I think we need more BD rounds especially during the middle of the cycle.

    Thank you Atomic and ksmom!

    Yep: during the fertile period based on the "Maybe Baby" app, am on a once every 4/5 day BD mode.. 7 days gap is after the fertile period and when clearly, I got no CM.. but just throwing in one in case of early/ late ovulation..

    Am mindful of not going to once every 3 days for fear of swaying blue... does it?

    Reason why I say it using OKP is because all the results turn out to be invalid... not even a negative.

    On CD8 now.... DH will only be back on CD 11.. will attempt to strike on CD 11/12 if hubby is not too drained from work.
    wish me luck.

    Oh ok I got it!!!

    I actually don't love e3d. What I'd do instead (and only if you are ready to do this) is do the e4d pattern, and then have one more attempt. Since OPK are not working for you I'd pick the day where you feel like O is coming soon (most of us can kind of tell - libido and EWCM and cramping). You don't need to hit the exact day, you just want to be in with one extra attempt in the middle of the e4d when you are most likely to be fertile. Keep going with e4d before and after that attempt.

    OR, since that may be more blue friendly you could also just keep going with e4d for a few months being sure you are actually having the e4d attempts even when you think you are not fertile. Sometimes we outsmart ourselves and think we aren't fertile when we are and that way you are protected if that occurs.

    Hi Atomic!!!!

    Want to give u much love and shoutouts!!!

    Thankful that I chanced upon this forum and had many valuable insights!

    Manage to my baby girl!!!
    I’m already at the last lap of my pregnancy!
    Thought I must admit, I wasn’t strict with my diet, but kept to mainly:
    Lower nutrition and long hours of fasting, by skipping breakfast...

    Sharing the wondering news with you and the community here!

    Lots of baby dust to everyone and get the gender of your sway!
