Because you had sex just before the solid smiley last time I'd def. wait for the solid next time or else go to e4d in the 72 hour pattern.
Were you doing anything else that may have harmed chances of conception like shallow release, abstain, douche, jelly?
Hi , I did use refresh finger , 5 min then J&d.
How do you do the e4d 72 ?
If you want a better chance of conception, the first thing I'd do is drop the RepHresh finger. It doesn't work, though I keep it in the mix for people who want to do pH stuff, and it also cuts odds of conception (and that isn't how I suggest using it anyway, I don't have people using that any closer than 8-12 hours before attempt and many do more like 24) I would likely give it a month with one attempt and without the RepHresh.
If you DO want to do e4d, you would have unprotected sex every 72 hours (for better chance of conception) or 96 hours (for possibly better chance of pink, but lower chance of conception) starting after your period ends and continuing on through till when you're sure you've ovulated, even if that means going all the way through till your next period starts. It doesn't have to be those hours per se, please don't get hung up on the hours, it's just that is how we count the DAYS. So Mon/Thurs/Sun/Wed, that type of pattern.
Okay , I will discontinue refresh day of and if I decide to use make sure it’s at least 24 hours prior.
The 96 hour seems to interest me more since I am aiming to sway pink. But ultimately you still prefer 1 attempt at solid smile for best chance ?
Last month my solid smile came 5 days after what would of been my ovulation day on a calendar.
I also have been reducing my sodium , upping my dark leafy veggies. Folic acid daily and fiber before eating.
My husband is not taking anything other than reduced salt diet.
We are getting great results with e4d. It still counts as one attempt because the attempts are far enough apart to still count as one attempt. Most people do this in the 72 hour pattern and it's still considered one attempt, but you can stretch it a day to the every 96 hours if you're ok with lower chance of conception.
I have everyone start with one attempt at first solid smiley (or first positive on classic OPK) but after a month or two of that I have you guys move on to e4d.
Can you please clarify what you mean when you say "my solid came five days after what would have been ovulation day on a calendar"?
Yes please I would
