Thanks Atomic, I followed your plan but I did add egg whites. I just knew that if my sway didn't work I would always wonder if that would have been the turning factor. I bought the organic pasteurized ones in the carton. The PH was very high so I lowered it with preseed. Thank you for all the support. Hoping for blue dust but we are mostly praying for a healthy baby.

:agree: as long as they are pasteurized then my concern with the egg whites is mitigated!! and by using the preseed to lower pH you overcame any risk that too high a pH can kill off all the sperm. thank you for letting us all know that!

How does the egg white thing work and what do you do? curious if this will help TTC boy

I do not recommend egg white as it is 1) NOT as good as EWCM 2) not sanitary 3) may cause serious side effects up to and including miscarriage and uterine infection.

The person in question had already USED egg whites. I didn't want to have an argument with them over it since it was already done. But egg whites are among the things I hate the most for swaying.

PLEASE do not use egg white for a boy (or any baby)
