ACI-JEL how much and when did you use?

[Wishonastar]

Hi Ladies, for those of you who have used aci-jel with a girl sway, how much did you use and when? I have heard there are two types acijel balance and acijel refresh and that the refresh raises your ph so you should stick with the balance one? Any help appreciated...

[LilithWiser1979]

I'm wondering this too. I have my aci jel ready to go (got a script from the doctor special for this! It's called Relagard in the US, and prescription only.)

[Wishonastar]

I'm in Australia so readily available for me, but doesn't seem like
Many have any experience with it :((

[JACTOM]

A friend of mine in aust used it swaying for a girl but couldn't get pregnant using the amount on the instructions so she halved it and got pregnant and had a girl? Not sure if this helps or is accurate but worked for her

[Wishonastar]

Thanks Jactom, was she doing diet etc too? It's says one applicator full twice daily or as directed by doctor... So a bit confusing :(( I heard somewhere to use like you would use replens... Can't find anything on that either :(( was thinking half applicator maybe 2 days before (if needed) and then fingertip 2 hours before???

Found this article above? So 1/2 applicator full 2 days before or a fingertip morning of attempt and another fingertip hour before... Says "replens" should not be used after so I'm assuming that's for aci-Jel as well??

[Violet_]

I used a full applicator every night we BD'd for our attempt. Probably too much, but I wasn't taking any chances and we are having our girl after 3 boys. Conceived first month swaying with aci jel. So it didn't hamper our efforts. But others might choose to use less, especially if they arn't getting a bfp.

[Wishonastar]

Thanks Violet... A full applicator how many hours before BD? We are only doing the one attempt after +Tive opk after 9 days abstinence..

[JACTOM]

It took my friend a couple of months to fall, she was inserting 3 hrs before and a small amount after.

[Violet_]

I inserted a full applicator just before or within 20 minutes of BD. Kind of used it as lubricant?

[atomic sagebrush]

that may hamper odds of conception for most people...glad it worked for you though!!!

I'm going to have to answer this from my desktop computer

[Crystal13]

I'm kinda curious too. I was only using like a pea sized amount of the aci-jel for my attempts. I know Atomic said it was very strong stuff! I'm worried I didn't use enough now?

[Wishonastar]

Thanks Atomic

This was one of the first essays I wrote back when i was still drinking the IG koolaid LOL. Subsequent experience has indicated that using that much Acijel with LE Diet and antihistamine and frequency (because IG sway doesn't include all those things) is preventing pregnancy for people. a handful of people have been able to get pg using that much, but most don't.

I need to update that essay with a less strict option but at that point I still thought everyone wanted to be superstrict (even though i never did!)

No, since the time I first wrote that I've seen so many people unable to get BFP while using lots of Acijel I revised my advise downward.

[Wishonastar]

Thanks atomic, so how much should we use and when (if any)

[Cagirl09]

I've been wondering this same thing as I hope to incorporate this into my sway also. I ordered Aci-Jel from Australia, but it hasn't come yet, hope it gets here okay!

[atomic sagebrush]

I honestly don't know how much.

I have people use a dime or quarter size an hour or two before attempt.

[sbowman]

Could anyone recommend a good website to order acijel from? I found a couple online but not sure of their credibility. :/

I ordered mine to:

https://www.pharmacydirect.co.nz/

I hadn´t any problems, the service was good and received it correctly (and I live very far, far away from NZ :wink:

[Cagirl09]

Great, so If I am using rephresh every three days until the day before attempt and then use dime size in the hours before, I would be good to go? Is it okay to use these both with one attempt? Or if I were going to be using both, is it best to do abstain then one attempt, then fr and try again?

Thanks!!

[Cagirl09]

Oh, and I ordered mine from https://www.pharmacyonline.com.au/customer/account/login/

It also arrived okay. The company said it would take 10 business days. It took 12, but I'm okay with that! :)

using rephresh and acijel is fine

how many attempts to do and frequency, you need to read the essays because the explanation is very involved.

[lily girl]

I'm in Australia so I have the luxury of being able to buy acijel and I'd recommend the following pharmacies in Australia:
Chemist warehouse (discount chemist - usually the lowest prices)
Oze Pharmacy (another discount chemist)
Pharmacy Direct
Terry White Chemists

Just do a Google search on the chemist names to find them and remember that Australian websites end in .com.au

Hope this helps.

[WantMyPinkMiracle]

I just brought some really hope it works I want a little girl so bad.?

[babygirl]

I have run out of sylk and rephresh hasn't lowered my ph, its a 6-7, will durex play be any good for a sway with rephresh? it contains dimethicone, triacetin, aroma, saccharin it also contains menthol 2.6mg/ml

[Lara3]

How soon after using the gels do you check ph to see if its working? I think its been said acijel can raise ph. It's just if you checked straight away it wouldn't be an accurate reading would it?

[babygirl]

I checked the next day ;0(

Anything that does not say "sperm friendly" or "conception safe" will sway pink regardless of its pH.

Honestly, that's a big part of why i don't think you SHOULD. If you check right away, all you're doing is checking the ph of the jelly itself.

If you MUST check ph, I'd use the product as close to the way you're planning to use it as poss. amd check ph at the time you'd be doing an attempt. And even then don;t read too much into it.

[Lara3]

OKay. Thanks. One other question, if you are going to douche and use acijel or rephresh, when do you use them both? Together or spaced apart? (I will be getting a plan very soon, so I'm sure you'll be able to answer this then!)

[atomic sagebrush]

Don't use douche with Rephresh. You can use acijel and rephresh and acijel with douche tho.

What kind of douche were you wanting to do? THe Vinegar and water or the IG lime douche??

[courtmain]

So cycle day 7 I used a summers eve vinegar douche just to wash away any thing and then used rephresh cd 10 I got a +opk at 3 and used rephresh at 4 ...no douche this time...then my usual zyrtec and benedryl at night then bd early cd 11 got up at 3am (CRAZY) and put 1/4 of acijel in and then we DTD at 6am....is this still okay?

Worried because I douched now with rephresh:mad:

[Lara3]

Okay. Gosh. I have sooo much to learn! I was thinking of using the summers eve vinegar douche like courtmain. Is it acidic enough? I also read on someone's sway plan (that was successful), that they had a bath with a cup of apple cider vinegar every night (I think it was for other reasons, but may have helped??). Could I do that to? I don't want to do so much that I end up in pain or with it being impossible to ever fall pregnant!!! Ideally douche and acijel would be ideal. Just out of interest, why do you not use douche and rephresh together? Sorry, I'm sure you've said it a million times!

[Lara3]

Good luck courtmain!

[courtmain]

Thanks! Good luck to you too! I hope this is the first and last swaying attempt for our girl...haha!

[BabyGirl4Me]

I want to use aci-jel with rephresh. The Aci-jel comes with an applicator so I'm doing about 1/4 of the applicator with acijel on the bottom and then 1/4 of the applicator with rephresh. For now I plan on doing this 1x before bed every 2 days. Not entirely sure what I'm going to to at +OPK though yet. I'll probably use 1 rephresh applicator at OPK and 1/2 an applicator of aci-jel with at least 4-6 hours for the stuff to sit and work before doing BD, then maybe use the other 1/2 applicator of aci-jel as a lube for BD.

I'll throw out the disclaimer that I'm totally OK with getting a BFN in March so I'm OK with the decreased odds of conception. Anyway that's my thought for now. I'll probably change my mind 2 or 3 times between now and +OPK.

Yes Summer's Eve is fine and would be my recommendation for anyone who wants to include douche.

I doubt the bath did anything but I doubt it would hurt! :)

RepHresh is desigend to keep pH in a certain range so when you add low pH with RepHresh, it may actually make pH rise.

[Lara3]

So avijel doesn't work the same way as rephresh? So by using douche and acijel I could potentially end up with a really low ph?

[atomic sagebrush]

No lower than the pH of the higher of the two products, and probably higher once it hits your body. but you can use them together to lower pH. The problem is that your body may not "like" low pH and make a lot of mucus to wash them away. That's the advantage of the RepHresh, it will chemically react with that mucus to bring pH down. The douche/Acijel don't do that, they are just a big burst of low PH that can then get diluted.

[atomic sagebrush]

We don't know and you can't really use the stats on the site to prove anything, because everyone is already doing 7000 other things to sway and even the things that do seem to sway, people use in different ways (some douche right before intercourse, some the day before, etc etc etc) Plus, we don't know how many people were not able to get pregnant including these things and had to drop them. Basically, we don't know what exactly is even getting the job done.

I seriously, seriously doubt that there is some magical combination of this that and the other thing used at precisely the right moment that overwhelmingly sways pink. Just shoot some goop in the general area at some point, they all sway pink, they all work, and this obsessing over what to use when makes absolutely no difference and only serves to raise testosterone levels.

Oh my atomic!!! "Just shoot some goop in the general area at some point, they all sway pink"

That was hilarious. I am so glad you keep us laughing in a time that seems so stressful! Thanks:)

[Gini]

Hi just wondering if you did this for your successful girl sway and how many months it took? Bought my Acijel today

[atomic sagebrush]

Who are you asking???

I did not use Acijel with my successful sway. Up above in my response I post a link and if you click it, it has directions on how to use Acijel in there
