Opinions on Rephresh pls!

[popple]

Ok, so I am edging ever closer to our first month of TTC, ekkkk! I have been researching and planning for several months now and had originally decided that I would use Rephresh as part of my girl sway (purchased some off the internet a few months ago now in readiness for TTC in July/August). However, I am now wondering whether it is actually worth using it? Have read differing opinions on it etc. Was thinking of perhaps giving it a go for the first month on a "may as well as I have already spent money buying it" basis. What do you think? Anyone else using it/thinking of using it as part of their sway? Thanks

I'm gonna use it the first month and if it doesnt work ill drop tht first.

I think jellies do not do anything, except lowering your chances of getting pregnant.
I used repHresh sanol and had a bad yeast infection ...... and a BFN.

I don't think it's bringing in the results we would need to see to justify the trouble it causes. I am moving away from it more and more, but most people are going to want to give it one month or two using it. IT is getting identical results with and without it, and both results are identical to the overall success rate of the site, indicating it is doing nothing.

I was going to use it, but decided against it because the stats seem to show that it doesn't help and just lowers your odds of getting pg.

I really really don't want people douching either tho - just wanna throw that out there. If you're a person superconsumed with pH, use a jelly no matter what the stats show. Douching is bad mojo.

I think ph is why rephresh is so 'amazing' for ages we've heard that it is ph that sways and suddenly there's an amazing product that lasts 3 days! Shame it isn't ph that does work or this could have been the magic bullet...alas no, too good to be true is indeed what it is

I never used it with my first son,,and when I got pregnant with my second son I used it all the time...like Atomic said I think it doesn't matter:)

I agree not looking good for pH here, is it??? All the jellies (not just RepHresh but also Sylk and even Acijel which was supposed to be the "magic" jelly because it has acetic acid) getting the same results as inverse with both the exact same as overall stats of the site = pH ain't doing nuttin.

KUDOS to rainbowflower for thinking of doing the inverses. It really clarifies that the jellies are not getting it done.

Would you suggest skipping it altogether then? I was worried that the diet part of my sway would let me down and ph may therefore be higher than it should (hence feeling the need to incorporate rephresh) but are you saying ph doesn't matter now?

Ive also been trying to ascertain/work out if there has been a change in my cervical mucus (sorry if tmi!) since starting a partial sway diet. Is there any way of telling save for ph test strips? Thanks

You'll find a lot of olde time sway tactics have been debunked, ie ph levels, calcium etc etc ...

Ph isnt important, its more low nutrients and blood glucose, again atomics amazing essays will give you the answers you need for a brilliant sway

Thanks Atomic! Just Googled the "PH Pickle" essay. Read and understood : )

Also just read the "New study: it's the egg that decides X or Y sperm". Really interesting and seems to back up declining condition of your body through LE diet. You are more 'likely' (although by no way guaranteed) to conceive a girl - i.e. your body decides which sex is most likely to be successful as girl pregnancies are more volatile. Have I read and deciphered correctly??

[atomic sagebrush]

just to clarify before I start getting messages, the original poster misread the study and it's NOT the egg that chooses, it was conditions in the Fallopian tubes. (which fits in with what we are doing around here)

Yes popple that is just exactly what we believe is going on here. But you have it a little bit backwards, girl PREGNANCIES (NOT X sperm but XX babies) are hardier and do better in tougher conditions than boy pregnancies (not Y sperm but XY babies). The sperm themselves seem to be less of a factor than the old school sway stuff would have everyone believe.

Doh, that's what I meant! Girl pregnancies are hardier and so your body will favour this is times are perceived to be tough i.e. Through declining body condition swayed through diet etc. Thanks atomic!
