View Full Version : Acijel?? Success and failure rates?

Update 7-11-15

Our statistics since I first posted this thread have been disappointing for all the swaying jellies. They appear to be getting neutral results, not swaying pink or blue, but dramatically cutting odds of conception.

Please continue sharing your experiences below! I'd also like to hear from people who were not able to get pregnant while using it.

Hey clever ladies,

A few people have wondered about success vs. failure for pink while using Acijel. If you have swayed in the past using Acijel, could you let us know if it worked for you?

And if anyone's aware of a thread on IG where this was discussed, could you link us??

Or must I buy it from Amazon? Thanks. :)

I believe you must order both Sylk and Acijel online while RepHresh and Replens (and preseed for blue swayers) are commonly available in US pharmacies.

Found this on IG: Your thoughts an Aci-Jel (Tamara?) - In-Gender.com (http://www.in-gender.com/cs/forums/t/179522.aspx?PageIndex=1) not helpful with success rates though!

I am really debating if I should use Sylk or something else. What do you guys think is best?

What does Acijel do? Sorry if thats a really silly question?! Do you use it purely to sway pink or because you are really dry? Sorry!

atomic sagebrush

It's just a very low pH jelly. I prefer RepHresh first of all because it lasts longer, and then Sylk second because Acijel is not a great lube.

Ingender has some study that used something called "acetic acid" and got girls with it, and Acijel has acetic acid in it. That's the only difference between Acijel and any other jelly.

I heard with acijel you have to test your pH because it might raise some people's pH. Is that true?

I heard with acijel you have to test your pH because it might raise some people's pH. Is that true?

yes, it has raised pH for some people. Our bodies don't WANT to have really unusually low pH or weird chemistry up our wazoos, and often will release a big burts of alkaline mucus in an attempt to wash it away.

RepHresh is specially designed to chemically react with everything it touches to lower pH, so even if your body does release more mucus, the RepHresh is supposed to react with the mucus to bring down the pH, ergo no pH spike after using it.

Acijel, Replens, Sylk, and lime douche all have the potential to trigger pH spike.

For the sake of statistics, I swayed with Aci-jel and Sylk and still got pregnant with DS2.
I'm persuaded LE diet and losing weight are more crucial.
Tried a combination of IG and French Gender diets but did not lose weight, so maybe that could have made the difference. Timing was shettles (3 and a half-day cut-off).
My input is that neither Aci-Jel and Sylk are miraculous per se. They can fail.

Its great to hear these things. I searched the internet for outcomes using Aci and read a comment made by a lady that said she noticed a couple of failed sways happened to be ones that used both silk and Aci together. I wonder if using another product with Aci kind of waters the acids in the gel down or could somewhat change the benefits of it in some cases? It would be interesting to hear Atomic's thoughts on this :) Diet etc sure is another big part of the puzzle. But I read the link a lady provided on here which showed 9 out of 9 reported sways using aci got girls (and yes, some may not report their sways if they get the opposite) I was thinking of using a tiny amount of rephresh and some Aci as rephresh doesn't provide the acids like Aci but hopefully will help prevent a spike. I see a couple of ladies used both these products and got girls :baby:

My take on Acijel and Sylk both (and Replens, douching, etc) is that our bodies don't like having that stuff up there, esp. at ovulation when pH "wants" to be alkaline to improve the odds of sperm survival. So these products can trigger a pH spike as our bodies release tons of alkaline CM trying to wash it away. Just like if you shot it into your eye or your mouth, your body would respond by making tears/saliva to get rid of it. It seems possible that Acijel and Sylk together would be even more of a risk than just one or the other.

RepHresh is the exception to the jellies, because it is designed to chemically react with everything it comes into contact with to bring pH down to 4.5-5...not that RepHresh is totally incapable of causing a pH spike, but just that if it does, it's more likely to then continue to react with the extra CM to lower its pH as well. The other jellies don't do that, all they do is sort of sit there and combine with whatever comes along so pH will be an average between the two.

As a result, I think it's better for people to use RepHresh and then ADD Acijel/Sylk if they are really jonesing to use them (not douching, douching and RepHresh don't mix well) because if the Acijel/Sylk causes the pH spike and a lot of CM to be released, the RepHresh can still react with the CM to bring its pH down. The dilemma at that point becomes at some point, the RepHresh gets so diluted that it may not be able to work as well.

RepHresh + antihistamines is even MORE effective because the antihistamines will act to reduce any extra CM and the RepHresh

When you read something like, 9 out of 9 reported sways used Acijel, remember that those people were doing a LOT of other things to sway and those stats really don't mean much of anything (some stats on diet alone report 80% success). In order to know if Acijel really sways in and of itself,, we'd need people who weren't swaying to use it and then see the gender of their babies.

I couldn't agree more. After using lime I got a yeast infection which rephresh cleared up:) But I'm wondering if using a product such as aci a number of times may actually help your body get used to it and then perhaps you wouldn't get such a ph spike if you kwim? I understand studies have shown around 80% success with diet and I completely agree diet is a main factor and totally get where your coming from with rephresh working for up to 3 days and dropping the ph with anything it comes into contact with which is great. Is there any success/fails rates with Rephresh with ladies that have used it so far on here? I know there's no magic bullet/guarantee but I cant stop thinking if you use both gels- acids from the aci and low ph for up to 3 days with Rephresh along with antihistamines and diet, your doing all the right sway factors.

atomic sagebrush
June 19th, 2012, 05:36 PM
I agree and that's actually why I encourage people to use RepHresh every 3 days prior to swaying, to make sure their body is used to the stuff and isn't going to totally freak.

I don't think anyone's made a list of stats just on the jellies yet - they're all in the successful sway section if anyone wants to do a tally.

June 28th, 2012, 09:22 PM
Wow, I'm so glad I read this now rather than later since my sway included using SYLK AND doing a lime douche. Glad i didn't find out too late! Sounds like I'll be trying RePhresh (sigh of relief since RePhresh is available at my local wal mart), and 'behind the pharmacy counter' Sudafed.

atomic sagebrush
June 29th, 2012, 03:46 PM
Rikki, I think antihistamines like cetirizine and diphenhydramine are much safer than Sudafed and equally effective. Sudafed has caused people heinous side effects and has been linked to an increased risk of strokes in young women.

Just wanted to add my experience with Acijel. I used Acijel solely as apart of my successful girl sway, and I was very impressed. I used a finger tip every 2nd day (AF to O) and it really did help to keep PH low, even during ovulation. I previously experimented with replens & SYLK, and both caused my PH to skyrocket into high 6's. Whereas, Acijel used to keep my PH at 4.5 to 4.7, peaking at 5.3 during O. My advice is experiment/test all lubes before you use it as apart of your attempt, as everyone's body reacts differently.

I bought mine from some chemist warehouse with shippig it came to around $50.....thats the only bad thing is you are gambling $50 if it makes your ph spike. Acijel did make my ph go down but not for a long time, so i used rephresh to. And I barely used a used a fingertip in my cervix i think around 4 hours before DTD because its so strong. I did use some after BD, but just a little at the entrance of the vj

Hi.

I was planning on using rephresh every 3 days, and on THE day both rephresh and aci jel, and afterwards also both. Is that ok? Is it too much? How much of each? a finger tip? the entire applicator? When you just finger tip, the jelly with be mainly at the entrance, not up where the semen with be... I think that applicator before DT so it will be "up high", and afterwards finger tip to "not disturb" ahahah. Or applicator again should be fine?

atomic sagebrush
November 8th, 2012, 10:56 AM
You can use them both together. Don't use RepHresh any sooner than 8 hours before attempt.

I would not use much acijel before attempt, certainly not an applicator full. Just try to glob some up there.

I wouldn't use anything afterwards, it seems to keep people from getting pg.

IsabelB23
November 8th, 2012, 11:56 AM
Thank you so much for your answer! :)
Even if I use rephresh every 3 days, is it ok to use more in between? - in case the attempt doesn't coincide with usage of rephresh... I will try to aim it to coincide but.... A full applicator?
So aci jel right before attempt? or way before??

atomic sagebrush
November 8th, 2012, 10:13 PM
Yes! Use it every three days and then in addition, an applicator or 1/2 of one, 8-12 or up to 24 hours before your attempt.

When you use Acijel depends on how big a hurry you're in to get pg - the sooner before attempt, the lower your odds of pg.

IsabelB23
November 9th, 2012, 09:29 AM
So best is to use rephresh like 8 h earlier, and maybe aci jel at the same time.... so you say if I use aci jel just before, the odds of getting pregnant are lower?? I want to get pregnant ASAP ;)
Another question... what do you think about supplements and milk?

atomic sagebrush
November 9th, 2012, 12:30 PM
No, you have to use the Acijel 1-2 hours before or it wears off. The RepHresh should keep working that long. So if you're worried about getting pg, either drop the Acijel or stretch it to more like 3-4 hours.

I don't think calcium sways pink, it may sway blue, full explanation here: http://genderdreaming.com/forum/trying-conceive-girl/610-calcium-conundrum-controversial.html and milk is so packed with nutrients that you should keep it to a minimum anyway and not treat it as a free food.

IsabelB23
November 9th, 2012, 01:40 PM
Thank you! I've read you article and also that after 4 ds, one of which was a sway, you had your dd eating the lowest amount of calcium ever, but what do you mean about in addition to higher sodium and adequate potassium?? did you increase your intake of sodium and potassium?? don't they sway boy??

So what to eat for a girl? I'm really confused now...can you share your sway? did you use rephresh only? have you ever heard of using progesterone cream to sway pink?

atomic sagebrush
November 10th, 2012, 10:49 AM
Yes! I don't believe in the French Gender Diet - I think it sways because it's a sudden change in diet and more restrictive in terms of protein and overall nutrients, and NOT because of the mineral levels (you can read about that here: http://genderdreaming.com/forum/trying-conceive-girl/610-calcium-conundrum-controversial.html

When I had a failed sway with DS 4, I did a lower nutrient diet but took the cal and mag plus Vit. D and B6, restricted sodium and cut back on caffeine and potassium, and got a boy.

Then I swayed for DD and did a lower nutrient diet, did NOT take cal, mag, Vit. D, or B6, and did not restrict sodium, plus I HAVE to keep my potassium high because after DS 4 I had postpartum hypertension and SVT that gets worse when I am low in potassium, and I was actually taking prescription strength potassium supplements at times. I was drinking a TON of caffeine every day as was my husband and we both were eating barely any dairy after having gotten our 4 boys with both of us eating/drinking a lot of dairy.

I do keep sodium and potassium in the LE Diet, but I do not believe that they sway, it's just that low sodium is good for health anyway and why not at least try - it prob. doesn't sway blue and you never know. with potassium, I actually hope people exceed my recommendations and get more potassium. I want to make sure people have enough potassium and more is fine.

I have heard of using prog cream to sway pink but I do not believe the data supports the idea that high prog necessarily means more girls. The data is pretty sketchy and I have seen the number of ladies with low progesterone split pretty evenly between boy and girl moms. Plus, using prog cream can REALLY mess up your cycle badly and even put a pregnancy at risk if you used it at the wrong times or inconsistently.

Thank you for your reply!

Well I am already a skinny person and I am affraid of getting any skinnier because it might interfere severely with getting pregnant... I've read about that calcium controvercial and the other you have about girl LE diet and the thing is: if I only eat, or mainly eat salads and veggies I will loose a lot of weight, and I wanted to know if it is safe to eat pasta and bread, so I can keep up weight. I mean, it isnt about loosing weight, its about not beeing too healthy, right?I bet I am not that now... To be honest I dont know if I will cut in potassium with the diet I have in mind... I will eat basicly everything I already do, but in reduced amounts and avoid snacks (even though im not a snack person already). Wont eat potatoes, red meat because it is said to increase your testosterone level. And I dont eat it anyway... My meals vary from chicken with bread crumbs and cheese in the oven with rice and salad, pasta with something, pork tendeloin with spinach and rice, soup, pitta bread or wrap/rolls bread with chicken, lettuce and red/green pepper... I mean, I dont eat much already... I think it is ok, dont you? The salt thing is bothering me because I read 1teaspoon has 2325mg of sodium, twice the needed dosage!
Did you eat practically the same but in smaler portions, or did you "used and abused" some type or food?

OK, so I think I have a plan. Feel free to pick it apart. I was thinking of using the LE diet, refresh twice a day every 3 days (prior to swaying), stop using refresh 12 hours before attempt, Zyrtec (starting 5 days before O until 6 hours before attempt) and have hubby take a hot shower before attempt. We were also going to have hubby abstain for 7+ days. NO calcium, no vitamins, no magnesium....and prayer. Things I should add? Things I should do differently? Any feedback is welcome :-) How close to O would you recommend a single attempt?

whoops I never saw this

Pasta, bread, carbs are fine for TTC pink for anyone who does not have PCOS or insulin resistance.

You don't have to lose a pound on LE Diet, you're jsut trying to send the message to your body that times are not as good and you don't have access to as much nutrition as you did before.

I ate TONS of potatoes when i conceived DD. With potassium, you have to be careful on LE Diet, because on French and IG diets, they do all the dairy to get potassium. We don't do that, and so we need to get potassium from other sources. Potatoes are GREAT, I promise the Irish and hte Incas have/had 50-50 boys and girls despite eating a diet very heavy in potatoes.

All meat can raise your T levels by growing and maintaining muscle. Chicken and pork just as much as red meat.

Don't worry about the salt, I didn't limit it at all with DD and I don't even think it sways. I got DS 4 limiting salt. The only reason I keep it in the diet is because some people want to include it and it's good for health anyway.

I cut out meat entirely, ate smaller portions and much more empty carbs than normal. I also way back dairy with an occasional yogurt and ate cream cheese and American cheese - I got all four of my boys eating tons and tons of dairy.

Typical day:

Skip breakfast but had lots of coffee usu. with nondiary creamer and sugar (i broke the rules and had sugar)

Lunch Dr. Pepper and/or more coffee , baked potato/sweet potato OR toast with butter and sugar or jam OR american cheese and mayo on white bread OR hummus wrap OR bean burrito with no cheese OR pop tarts

Dinner (I usually ate either 2 lunches or 2 dinners for a total of three meals) spaghetti with either white sauce or red sauce OR casserole made with rice OR stir fry. Dr. Pepper, rice milk to drink

Looks good to me, you only need to do REpHresh once a day (that stuff is expensive!!)

I think DTD at pos OPK is the easiest and yields good odds of conception.

Embrace it when things go wrong in a pink sway, because I think we boy moms need to learn to give up control in order for our t levels to go down.

eh, I've seen tons of opposites with Acijel that aren't reflected in that tiny group. And tons of successes with Sylk. I'm not saying one is better than the other, but I really DO NOT think Acijel is any kind of magic bullet whatsoever.

I think that for right now we need to be very careful with the stats, because the batch of sways that we've had in the last year, we had people doing some things that have not panned out in terms of swaying - probiotics, not doing fiber, not being on diet long enough, doing more than one attempt, and starting off too strict and then having to sway blue in order to get pg. I think those things have made some of the tactics look worse than they really are. When we have some stats collected with those things removed from the equation, then we can start to look at the minor details like Acijel vs. Sylk vs. RepHresh because I suspect that the difference between them is non-existent.

No I was not swaying. I was getting ready to START my sway right before I got P with DS#4, by total accident. I used RePHresh and withdrawal and have no idea how I got P :) But IDK I'm worried that the diet may not work for me either! I gain tons of weight when I get P! SO when I got P with DS #2 I had just lost 50 lbs over the previous 3 months (from P with DS #1). When I got pregnant with DS #4 I had lost 60 pounds over the previous 9 months. I wish there was a magic bullet. I feel like I might have to be a skeleton for the diet to actually influence my sway. Also, I've taken Zyrtec over the years for allergies. I'm almost certain I was on it EVERY time I have gotten P!

Weight loss alone has not seemed to be THE thing. It's seeming that the diet itself is swaying more than weight loss alone.

Zyrtec also only getting same as overall results of the site. Not seemign super effective.

Hello all,
So how effective is it using these Acijel or Rephresh? I know there are no magic bullets, but have they been as good in getting results as the exercise, diet & 1 attempt?
Thank you

hi.... did you lower your ph? what was your cut off and how did you use aci-jel? before, after, etc :)

I used aci-jel with rephresh, I will let you guys know in 14 or so weeks.

Update: I am for sure having a girl.

The jellies have not worked for us. We have gotten the same results both with and without it, and i'ts the same as the overall stats of the site. This indicates the jellies are not doing anything to sway. Plus, they are cutting odds of conception significantly and most people are having to drop them in order to get pregnant.

NOTHING near like exercise, diet, one attempt, and Clomid. Those things are gold standard. The rest of pretty much everything else has been lousy!

It is fine if you guys want to try them. Most people do. But they should be among the first things to go.

This thread is super old and she doesn't come on here any more.

Please read the timing and pH threads I linked for you in the PCOS thread.

I can tell you my experience, which is 3 of 4 boys with Cutoff, girl in Shettles BOY timing, and my 4th boy with pH of 4.5 and my girl I did not bother to even test pH. Most of us on this site, both pink and blue swayers, have 2-3-4 or more timing and pH opposites, that's partly why we made this site because the "old school" sway stuff didn't work for us.

UGH how to get Clomid? How to convince OB to give you an RX?

Unfortunately Clomid may not be right for you anyway SG because it isn't always good for moms over 35.

You would have to say that you have been TTC for a year without breastfeeding before they'll give it to you most times.

Used rephresh on my first sway every 3 days and right before attempt. Got prego 1st month( with boy swayed girl). Also did benedryl. Used acijel last month and just ended up w raging yeast infection which may or may not have had anything to do w it. Didn't use anything this month, no yi yay! Lol

bumping for more responses - anyone out there still interested in chiming in?? I know we've gotten a fair number of boys on Acijel, would love to have more personal and up to date replies since I no longer believe in the stuff at all!!

I used Aci-jel during O week when I conceived my DD because my vaginal pH was getting way off and I was trying to avoid an infection. Not sure if it was close to O or not.
