So here is what I have been doing to past few weeks, eating a ton of dairy, taking daily calcium / mag supplements, cranberry pills, folic acid. Trying to limit salt and high potassium foods, no alcohol, no red meat. Trying to eat an "acid diet" and LE as best as possible. Skipping breakfast most mornings and have lost a few pounds.

My CM was a solid 4 when a first tested it after taking the cranberry for a couple of weeks. I tested DH's and it was a 9, GASP!! So I freaked out and used Replense the night before our first attempt which was yesterday afternoon. Then late (like midnight) I put another half a dose in because I started to get EWCM. 5am this morning I got a positive OPK, so we didn't DTD today bc I thought I would have a good 2-3 day cut off. But now I'm worried I won't get pregnant at all and I'm not so sure timinig matters, so should we DTD again tomorrow on O day? I just rechecked my CM PH and it's still a 4 and there is a little EWCM still. DH is drinking the crap out of crystal light and taking cranberry but it seems to have no effect on his PH. When we DTD yesterday we did it missionary style, no O for me, and I got up after 5 minutes, so a slow jump but no real dump. Using lavender lotion all the time, ion bracelet, lots of time outside. Doing my best....really really want a daughter. We have one amazing son, but my husband only wants 2 kids and despite how much he too wants a daughter, he isn't willing to go HT.

Thoughts? Should I DTD tomorrow on O day or try for 0+12? If I don't get pregnant this month should I ask my DR. for Clomid (I'm pretty sure he'd give it to me).

Thanks!!!!

I really don't think it matters if you dtd on O, heaps of us have done it on O and still end up with a girl! You have done all the other stuff which I think would be more important than the timing.

By the way if it makes you feel better, my ph was 4.5 and I still ended up with a girl!

Goodluck, sending you heaps of pink vibe!!

Thanks @3littleladies! Should I use replense again? I think my PH level is good, I'm just concerned about counteracting his once we DTD since it's so high. If I DTD at 0+12 should I replense right before or after? Jump and dump still, or stay elevated for 30 minutes given that they have so little time to make ti to the egg? So confused!!!!

Oh gosh I know its confusing, I remember when I was swaying!

Im no expert but I think if your ph is good don't worry about replense and I would elevate, I elevated for 20minutes afterwards.

I"m so sorry, some posts got lost after a technical glitch and apparently this was one of them. Your sway plan is just about done and will be sent in to be posted soon.

I don't think timing sways, but we do think that the number of attempts we have sways pink. One is best. So my advice would be to stick with one attempt but if you had more than one this month, it's done now and don't even worry about it.

If there is any way you can get Clomid, I would try to get some.

I got a boy with pH of 4.5, please don't worry about pH, I have seen sooooo many pH opposites I don't even believe it works. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gender-swaying-general-discussion/11684-ph-pickle.html

I woudl always jump and dump with more than one attempt but it's just one tiny little thing, if you didn't, you can still get a girl either way.
