How many attempts should I do and WHEN?? For pink and blue.

[atomic sagebrush]

with your DD's though, that was one attempt in the fertile window - so would sway pink in that regard. So many times we think it was the day we had sex, but really it was the frequency and number of attempts!!

Im responding to this post Atomic, where you said the following:
Yes, just do one attempt. I would LOVE to go back in time and NEVER make up the frequency patterns. IF I could wave a magic wand and erase them from everyone's memory I would. THEY DON'T WORK. I invented them in 2011 out of my mind, it was an experiment that didn't pan out but what it did get us was a clear demonstration that it's actually the one attempt that works, not the frequency patterns. PLEASE everyone, DO NOT keep frequency but add attempts. This is coming from the horse's mouth - frequency does not seem to work.

It is totally possible, in fact EASY to conceive from one attempt, provided you are not doing a zillion other things to sway. Whatever you do or don't do, keep one attempt as long as is possible.

ATOMIC - is this regarding frequent release as this is the option we are considering??

[atomic sagebrush]

Frequency patterns for PINK are abstain, frequent (daily) release, compressed frequent release, and hurry up FR.

Many people want to start off using frequency patterns and that is fine, provided that it is one of the things you drop FIRST before adding attempts.

Early on in the site, we tried keeping frequency, pH, etc while adding attempts. This was a disaster and the lowest results in the history of the site. Ever since we started dropping the other stuff while keeping one attempt, our results have gone up and up.

^^^ but we didn't have a clue that number of attempts even SWAYED at that point, so we were just doing what made sense. It was only because of this accidental experiment that we learned that number of attempts does seem to sway. Up until then we thought as others did, that it was the other stuff.

The original post covered both boys and girls so questions in this thread are from both pink and blue swayers. I saw in your signature you were swaying pink and thus answered accordingly.

The chemistry in the post is amazing...some good information

Hi all... new here. Been reading much of the links here for almost 1 week, and it's like info overload! (In a good way)

Just want to clarify, I only started the semi LE diet (a small packet of milk @ 150ml only for breakfast ) since early June, and tried full swing LE diet in the last 4-5 days & stopped cal/mag supps..

CD10 now.. don't know when is my O, didn't use OPK either..

Ttc pink

So should get DH (age 35) to abstain 7-10days and attempt once around CD 15/16? So after BD, should I just wait and see or still BD every 4 days?

I'm 31. DTD once a month or less... wasn't TTC before this....

Thank you in advance!

Abstain hasn't really helped much but it's ok if you want to try it. 35 is my cutoff for abstain, once he gets older than 35 I would switch to FR instead. The important thing is the one attempt so if you think you normally O around CD 15/16 or so, then have one attempt at that point in time. I DO like you guys (esp. when not using OPK and you don't know when you will or have been Oing) to do every 4 or 5 days after that one attempt just in case your ovulation was delayed.

Another confusion for tons of reading, so after abstinence and 1 attempt, you also recommended to DTD every 4/5 days. In between, does DH has to do FR? Or abstinence?
Btw, DH not swaying in terms of diet but manage to convince him on less red meat. Is pork considered red?
