    Abstain or E4d

    Would you recommend doing abstain for 7-10 days before one attempt or E4d, or does it matter?
    This is my first month trying, and my husband and I are both 30. Are there different reasons people choose to do one or the other?

    Thanks

    It is whatever you decide. I would flip and coin and do what it says, haha! They both will give you one attempt in your fertile window.

    🤞🏻for you!

    But when shld the one attempt be? On OV?
    Can I also check,for E4d , I thought we might actually hit two attempt in the fertile window?

    One attempt should be at your first positive opk unless you’re doing e4d then it’ll just fall once in your fertile window!

    most people like to start off doing abstain + one attempt at first jsut to say they tried everything.

    totally up to you, though

    Nothing is 100% and yes you can still get boys with one attempt but one attempt has been so good for so long that we should still do it even if you got a boy that way before.

    Don't have attempts on O Day, not because it sways but because it is lower chances of conception than 1-2 days before O.

    Technically you can hit 2 attempts in fertile window BUT the way it works out is that if you do end up with attempt on O-3 and O Day you'll have conceived from the first O-3 attempt if anything was left before the second attempt has had time to capacitate and make it to the egg. And if the O-3 attempt is dead and gone then the O Day will have a chance.

    Thank you so much for your reply Atomic.
    Just to be sure, when we say O Day means when we have the first positive opk?

    You get your +opk usually 24-36 hrs before you O. This means that if you BD at first +opk this will likely end up being your attempt on O-1 (for some people maybe O-2) and these days have much higher odds of conceiving than BD on O day.

    Our sway is getting into NOW or NEVER territory

    No the day of positive OPK is 24-36 hours before ovulation, typically
