So I just ordered my Aci Jel...What I mistake I made! It's only found in New Zealand or Australia! My sway is in 2 weeks and 2 days and I'm scared my aci jel won't arrive in time!


Has anyone ordered Aci Jel from this website before? If so, what was your experience?

Acijel and other vag potions aren't performing super great in our stats for pink, so a lot of us have dropped them. Having said that, you can cheat to get some acijel in the US by asking your doc for a prescription for Relagard for recurring yeast infections. That's how I got mine (that I ended up not using at all!)

Don't worry too much about it. Your stressing over it is going to sway blue more than the aci gel will sway pink! Lots of mommas have gotten girls without it.

Thanks ladies! I figure with all the other stuff I'm doing it should be that big of a deal...

You can try to substitute KY jelly or REplens that first month, and you may not even get pregnant anyway.

Atomic I'm soooo fertile. If my hubby looks at me long enough I'm pregnant! We've always gotten pregnant on the first round as soon as I stopped my pill.

So you think Replens is better than RePhresh in this case? I've been looking at reviews on here and a lot of people were saying go for the RePhresh.

So my plan was to do FR 7-10 days before I expect to O, then take the Benadryl and Zyrtec 5 days before my O date (do I take it the day of too and if so how many hours before we DTD?), take the O tests (will take 2 times daily leading up). When I get the smiley face do the RePhresh (or Replens) 4-6 hours before (after I've been taking it every 3 days already), the Aci Jel one hour before, we both take the hot bath, BD, D and J and then use just a little more Aci Jel or RepHresh (or Replens) afterward. Sound about right?

I believe you, but it has happened so many times that people who have always gotten pg easily before, start to sway and then nothing happens.

RepHresh does something different than the other jellies do. So it's not that I am recommending Replens over RepHresh (in fact I think RepHresh is probably better), but it's that Replens acts as a replacement for Acijel while RepHresh does something a bit different. Do not use RepHresh any closer than 8 hours before attempt (and more like 12-24 is better), but you can use any of the other jellies 1-2 hours before attempt. I prefer people not use anything afterwards but it's your sway and your call to make on that.

Only use Benadryl the day of your attempt. You can do the 5 day Zyrtec and then on day of attempt, a Benadryl as well 1-2 hours before. I think yo'll get too dry taking them both.

Ok. I read that Replens has the lower Ph between that and RePhresh. I thought I needed that since my pH is a 5.5/6. My hubby's pH is a 8.5/9. Then I read that RePhresh has the reactor in it that balances out the pH if you already have a naturally low pH which I don't. That confused me totally about which one I would need since I need to lower my pH (which i thought meant using Replens) but my hubby definitely needs to lower his (which seems to mean RePhresh). Some reviews said the RePhresh made their Ph sky rocket! I thought holy cow. Maybe i should buy both, try out the RePhresh first and if our pHs dont drop switch the rePlens before the 2 dosage comes. That part loses me. I also cut the calcium
And cranberry and got the Metamucil and low dose Bayer (81mg). What does my hubby need to take?

pH of 5.5 at ovulation IS low.

RepHresh will lower everyone's pH to the 4's. Both you and your husband. The Acijel, Sylk, Replens are just bursts of low pH. That is how most people do it, they use the RepH. every 3 days with the last dose about 8-24 hours before attempt, and then use a smaller amount one of the other jellies about 1-2 hours before attempt. You can do one or the other or both.

All the jellies can make some people's pH go up. The RepH. is supposed to come back down again over time, but everyone's experience is different. You shoot that stuff up the wazoo and your body is like WTH is that and makes a big bunch of CM to wash it away, hence the pH spike. I've seen it with every single jelly and it's the risk you take to use them.

I can't tell you what your husband should take without knowing more about his situation and stuff. Most people give their hubs licorice root OR pep tea, olive leaf OR cranberry, some use cal-mag even if they['re not taking it themselves, some people use soy milk, and some give him a Sudafed or anithistamine. But all that depends on what his health and overall lifestyle is, what medicines he's on, if any...

Atomic that post literally had me cracking up!!! LOL!!!!!!! Omg that was super helpful!!! I bought Crystal Light and my hubby has been killing it! He doesn't take any meds or supps except a colon cleanser. He's 32 and is otherwise a healthy guy. He loves his sweets though. He usually works out 2-3 times a week. I think I can get him to take the Zyrtec the day of too. I have cranberry, mag, calcium and peppermint at home bur I'd have to beg him to take it. I should be O on may 12th which means I'd need to start the FR on May 2. I'm on cd3 today

I wonder should I use rephresh next sway since I used it last sway and got a boy.

6blue you used repHresh last time? Did you do any of the other methods? For example, did you take supps, DTD missionary, change your diet and of so how long, add Aci Jel or Replens for the burst to lower pH? What was your technique last time?

we are getting very similar results both with and without it. I would be fine with people leaving it out, but it's just that many people really really want to do some sort of VJ treatment for pH and the jellies are way safer than douches.

nutshell version:

Jellies not getting outstanding results so everyone can feel perfectly free to leave them out if htey so desire.

However, if you are a big believer in pH and swaying the jellies are a better and safer alternative to douching. And no one should do the extreme douchign that they recommend on some of the other sites.

Atomic I'm at cd5 and have officially stopped my period today. Is there anything else I should be doing? I'm taking my baby aspirin, metamucil, and folic acid. I plan to start FR today or within the next 3 days since I should be O on the 12th. I'm going to get my RePhresh tonight along with the OPK. Anything else? (Oh, still on the LE diet & losing weight too! Yes!!!!)

Thanks! I definitely gonna try rephresh again. Next time instead of half I might just use the whole thing the day before bd.

My youngest child I loss weight the month before conceiving. I was getting stressed out and overwhelmed so I stopped the diet and was gonna get back on board with it the next month since I had just purchased my custom plan. I did try to stay away from somethings I normally ate but not all :( I must admit I ate Chinese food around that time and some pizza hut. Cause I was on a break but still end up BD thanks to my dh wanting a quickie lol. Yes we bd missionary. I used rephresh every few days from AF to day before O. half amount each time. I used it night before BD and a few minutes after BD, finger tip afterwards. I was actually trying to kill the swimmers by using it after bd but I guess not lol. I really didn't think I was gonna get pregnant that cycle. Such a surprise. I took was Pure Vitamin C- 500mg -AF-few days after O
Folic Acid – 800mcg
Acidophilus-1 pill a day (later found out that probably sway boy)
vitex,metformin,and cinnamon pills. I didn't do calcium,magnesium,cranberry which I did in the past and got boys.

6blue so you think Acidophilus and stress did it for you huh? What was so bad about the chinese food? White rice is allowed and some veggies are too?...Or did you get the beef kind? Did you BD on O day too? I cheated a little on my diet these past couple days. I ate some cake! :-(

I remember some saying acidophilus may actually sway boy. I'm not to sure about stress. I over did the Chinese food we happened to go out to eat at a Chinese buffet. I bd once I got + OPK, so I think it was O day.

Oh wow! I've managed to stay away from ALL red meat. I eat rice and sometimes noodles though. I think I've done well with that. Cake is certainly my weakness! I've been losing weight on the LE diet though. I sometimes snack in between meals which I know I shouldn't do. I get hungry and I don't eat all my calories during lunch and dinner so I eat a little snack.

We got utterly atrocious results with acidophilus and other probiotics for pink. It was the one thing that got less than 50-50 and there was no other conclusion to be drawn than that it was swaying blue in a big way. We now use it with blue sways and it's quite successful.

Mamaluv that looks very good and you're on target for a good sway.
