Questions???

[shouldihope?]

I am starting to buy some things for my girl sway. I have a lot of questions though. These are the things that I have:
Supps-Calcium, Magnesium, Cranberry with Vit. C, and Folic Acid.

Douche with vinegar- not sure about this but it is what they had at the store.

Rephresh and ovulations test strips. What is the difference between Rephresh and Replens?

I know I need ph strips but have not seen them anywhere. Do I need something else to test for ovulation?

I looked at the saw palmetto and it said for mens prostate health is that okay for me to take? I saw it on one of the lists.

The whole ion thing and where to buy stuff I am totally clueless about. How much of this do I need and what is not crazy expensive.

The moon thing I am also totally not sure how to figure out?????

I am already trying to do the girl diet and I am wondering what to do when we go out to eat. Read somewhere not to eat spinach so salads may be a challenge. My kids love chick-fil-a and so do we because the boys can burn off some steam but what can I eat? I did eat a plain grilled chicken sandwich with nothing on it. Probably still too salty I am sure. If I do eat salad what if any dressings are okay?

Sorry for all the questions. I am sure I will have a lot more though. Thanks in advance.

Ok well i do know the differenc between Replens and refresh, this is posted from baby centre forum The difference between Replens and Rephresh is, that Rephresh is designed to balance vaginal pH at 4.5. If your pH is higher, it lowers it to 4.5. If your pH is lower, it will raise it to 4.5. It means that when the more alkaline EWCM arrives (which it will around Ov) and when semen arrives, Rephresh will react and lower its pH to 4.5.

So even though the initial pH of Replens is lower, both of them end up between 4-5 anyway because thats what the company designed them to do.

The main difference I liked, is Rephresh keeps working (need to use every 3 days, altho you can use a finger the day b4 DTD), and it reacts with everything it touches to reach 4.5, while Replens gets diluted by CM and semen.


as for douche they are not sold in the uk so i have no idea. my ph strips i bought from ebay but beware i bought cheap ones from hong kong and they were rubbish lickily i had some from the uk also and they work great.
i as clueless as you on ions so will watch this space and as for moons, my diary has little moon symbols in it so thinking that might be something ???

i found this link for you if you type in the date it tells you what kinda moon it is and also has the little girl or boy symbol. for TTC you need new moon and waxing moon i guess since it says from the new moon until the day before full moon and for boys its full moon and waning moon.

Here is the post with links to all the most basic threads on how to TTC pink. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/showthread.php?1585-READ-ME-FIRST-Planning-Your-Pink-Sway Nutshell version - for TTC pink you want low protein, low fat, low nutrient, low sodium, low calorie, to be losing weight, lowering your levels of testosterone and estrogen, less EWCM, and with lower blood sugar levels. You want your husband to have lower sperm count and lower testosterone.

This one is specifically about Replens/RepHresh and should answer your question http://genderdreaming.com/forum/showthread.php?1066-Complete-guide-to-Replens-and-RepHresh It is also in the list of links above.

The saw palmetto for prostate health is what you want. Even though it says it's for men, it lowers testosterone which makes it good for both fighting prostate cancer and swaying pink!

Here is info about the moon thing (also read the second post, not just the first one, the second one has the how-to) http://genderdreaming.com/forum/showthread.php?1421-Lunaception&highlight=lunaception

I personally don't put a lot of stock into ions but I don't think they hurt anything. I wouldn't spend a fortune on them but if it gives you peace of mind, go for it. Here is a link to one site that sells ion jewelry http://www.kiflow.com/

I would try to stay away from Chick-fil-a if at all possible or just have a diet Coke while there, but a salad is a heck of a lot better than a chicken sandwich. I have no issues with salads although they are not allowed on other websites. Spinach is probably best avoided in favor of bland iceberg lettuce because iceberg lettuce lacks nutrients. Most salad dressings are very loaded with sodium and fat and are probably best avoided in exchange for a squeeze of lemon or raspberry/rice wine vinegar (these can raise pH so don't go overboard.)

PS - I LOVE questions - it's my goal to have everything so well answered that people can just find what they're looking for easily! The more questions, the more I know what I still have to explain!

Thanks for all the great info. The moon thing does not look very promising for me unless I O on a different day than I think. I guess we will see when I do some testing. Do you think it matters what brand of ion bracelet to get? Should my DH wear one too? Read some people post about rock salt lamps. Not sure about them. I saw some on-line but I have no idea if it matters what kind I get. Should my DH take the saw palmetto as well? The calcium I bought has vit. D in it but that is all I can find. Is that bad? Also the store-bought vinegar douche is that okay or should I dump it out and make my own lime. Not sure about the douche thing I never even seen one before. Do I use the whole thing? If so guessing I will need to buy a few.

[atomic sagebrush]

No, saw palmetto is usually not taken by the DH, instead he takes licorice. (there is a link to all the girl supps in that thread I posted above)

I ~personally~ think the storebought vinegar douche is perfectly fine but other people like the lime because it's stronger. (there is also a link to douching and it tells you all about how much to use and how to mix a lime douche if you want to.)

A lot of people have had success taking Vit. D for swaying pink, I personally think it may sway blue to a certain extent by raising testosterone, but go with what your gut tells you.
