Has anyone tried this? My ph a few days ago was lower than 5.5 ( the lowest on the test strips) and I jut check cm and it was 8. So I put sylk all over a tampon and plan To leave it in for a couple of hours. Anyone tried this? Thoughts?

Most of us on here are not worrying about pH as it doesn't sway one way or another. Seriously, I wouldn't worry/stress about pH.

Please use the Sylk alone without the tampon. There is no benefit to be had, the only reason why a tampon was ever used with lime juice is because it is a liquid whereas the jelly-like nature of the Sylk makes it stick to the vaginal walls.

You really lower odds of conception a lot and also using a tampon in the wrong way ups risks of toxic shock syndrome, which can be fatal.

Case against pH for swaying is here. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gender-swaying-general-discussion/11684-ph-pickle.html

I got my 4th boy with pH of 4.5-5, testing 2-3 times a day, that never went past that until I was already pregnant. I didn't even know I ovulated because I had no CM and my pH never went up. I have seen tons of pH opposites going both ways and it is really just impossible for me to believe it any more.

I wouldn't do it. I don't think Sylk or any of the jellies do much and I definitely think testing pH and worrying about it is unnecessary snd could even sway blue!

:agree: our stats show very clearly that the jellies are doing NOTHING. THey have identical results to the overall success rates of the site and people are getting the same results both with and without it. The jellies do not help whatsoever and they really cut odds of conception a lot.

Yes RepHresh is also a jelly. They just ain't getting it done for pink.
