[Freya]

Right, I copied Lola's format, because it was excellent, so here we go:

Diet

Duration of diet? Alkaline diet/boy minerals six weeks, then eased into TW last four weeks

DH consume caffeine 1/2 hour or an hour before BD? Yes, black tea.


Hormones? Weights and muscle toning six days a week, challenges at work with new leading position, so I was quite aggressive .


Drinks? Green tea three times a day from AF to O. Lemon water daily, but cut down to move urine pH from 9 to 7.5 (optimal health pH).


Supplements

Evening Primrose Oil (EPO)? no
Robitussin/Guafanesin tablets? no
Alka Seltzer Gold? no

How many kids do you have? 1

What gender(s)? girl

Number of months TTC? 6

Your Age? 34

BD position? missionary

EWCM present - how much? A fair amount, unusually clear this month, it's usually a bit cloudy for me, could have been the diet change.

DH type of undies? boxers

Did you use instead cups - how long? no

DH use cold bath/shower or ice? no

OWT - anything under bed? no

Comments? Got PG three months after a chemical. Changing diets from alkaline/boy to TW meant a lot more focus on red meat and testosterone-inducing activities, an increase in calcium and magnesium, but only a slight drop in CM/DH pH mix (from 8 to 7.5).

Gender Resulted? Will update in time...EDD 1/12/2011. Did all I could, will be happy for either gender really, as long as it sticks. What will be will be .

Update: a healthy EDD 29/11/2011

That sounds brilliant Freya, job well done

[Freya]

Thank you, ELP !

Congrats on the BFP Freya! Looks like a really great sway! Fascinating that the switch from alkaline to TW didn't have a more dramatic change in pH. Swaying makes us such little science experiments :-) Hope you got your boy!

[My Fabulous Children]

Good sway! I hope you get your boy, good luck.

[Freya]

Thank you, girls !

Yes, I found that fascinating, too, begonia. I think it was the testosterone that did it, really. I also thought it really interesting that my EWCM was so clear, that must have been the testosterone-effect .

[LolaInLove]

NICE JOB! That's a brillant sway, all crossed for a healthy boy for you!!!!!!!

[LolaInLove]

Um, and simulataneous big O? JEALOUS!

[LauraInTexas]

I'm glad to hear the TW diet didn't throw off your pH too much. I've been thinking about switching next month.

I highly recommend that, I think it is much healthier....I think Freya will agree with me there!
