Just wanted to share my experience....

While I was on strict IG diet ( no dairy whatsoever, etc) my CM pH was stucked between 5 and 6 ( I'm using pH strips) even during ovulation.

When I first started IG diet pH went rather quickly from 4 to 5-6 value but it remained there for months.

I switched on TW diet (high everything for boy) in March, haven't check pH til this cycle and to my pleasant surprise, my CM pH around O date was almost 8 :cool:

On TW diet I added 1/2 cup of full fat yogurt every other day with oat cereals and cheese on pizza, nuts ( rich in Mg but raise T), 9 servings of fresh fruits/veggies every day ( well some days it was 7-8 servings lol!) and I was sooooo much more relaxed and confident about my swaying efforts.

Very important: I think the very important thing regarding pH was completely stopping fizzy drinks esp. Coke Coke is acidifying beyond words ( and ultimately unhealthy btw) and the amount of caffeine is insufficient compared to coffe ( which is only slightly acidifying)

So, as long as pH goes TW works! :bigsmile:

I'm thrilled to hear your opinions on diet coke as I'm swaying pink and have become rather addicted to it :D I'm pleased it's working for you!

I also took my pH today. I'm using strips also and *think* it may have been 5 to 5.5 before I started the low-everything diet (it was definitely green!) and today the strip stayed orange. I'm not at a fertile time of the month so it's irrelevant really but I'm obviously more acidic than I was before :D :D :D

My pH was NEVER up on the IG diet it was always so low like 3.5-4. So had to use BS because of course everyone get ph up with that.
Now here Im On Kristin diet lol (well try my best for sure) and around this O my ph was 6.4!:suprise: ( I use the hanna ph meter)
So much from that HUH!
Now I hope it will go up even more when Im on all sups and drinks too!:pray:
I had low ph with all my girls (with DD4 was up with bsf) so I want high ph this time for sure.

Zanacal - giving up Coke was the hardest part of the diet LOL! because I was addicted to it. I drank at least 4 glasses of Coke each and every day when my DDs were conceived. So I say - drink as much as you can LOL but once you get BFP it's better to stop and switch to something healthier :agree:

Flava - that's excellent pH!!!!! I think it won't get higher then 8 ( only with BSF it can reach 9) but you are already in boy pH zone :agree:

Atomic - I'm so glad I've found this site and TW :kiss:

Do you think that is why you ended up with dd4?

Soda is hard to stop for sure. Both me and DH was drinking diet pepsi none stop all the time. 4 glasses like Z ehhh that's nothing for us! We did a lot more. Now we both stoped in April. It was hard at first!
If we really really want some soda we get the regular pepsi and just a small one .But like 1 a week or even less.

Oh it's modified swim up extreme gender swaying form IG.

Put the semen in the test tube put ew on top of it the put this in a incubator for 90 min. It's a swim up . the idea is to separate x and y so you have mostly boy swimmer at the end and use that sample .
Well Im not so sure about all this anymore , but it did worked for almost everyone else.:sad:

Flava if I may recommend ( I'm not trying to be smart a$$ lol) try to completely stop with pepsi, diet or regular.

When I feel I want to drink something fizzy ( quite often) I take orange juice ( you may add stevia to be more sweet) like 3/4 of the glass and 1/4 sparkling mineral water with high pH. That way I'm alkalyzing myself and have fizzy drink ( not even close to Coke, but my consplation is - Coke is sooooo unhealthy)

Regarding MSU - it sounded so exciting to me and complicated too :p but I couldn't find all the equipment here in zillion years. I was willing to try TBM with IC, but my DH was shocked when I suggested that and said no way, I'm making kids only the old fashion way :sigh:

AlmostPerfect from IG also had 3 girls and did MSU for #4 but got a girl, that's why I asked you is it the same person :happy: but she never posted again once she had 4th girl. She said 4 is her absolute limit, I'm afraid she suffered EGD :sad:

I'm so glad you are OK with 4 girls and open minded about #5. That's really cool :agree:

hey Z ! I know the damn soda heh? But my sway is far away and I just want some pepsi sometimes:mad: But I drink club soda.
See no need to worry about SMU because it's not always working.
But I was the same stoped posting after I find out #4 is a girl .It's because everyone was so cold to me and only 1 person kept talking to after that.
Over there was like MSU must had worked and if not for sure I did something wrong. :sigh:
I guess Im only open minded because I want a boy .LOL
