URGENT rephresh question

[4BOYS]

Hi everyone , im having a dilemma in regards to a rephresh situation and if anyone could advise it would be great ,Ill add my sway if that would help
DIET - Nothing till lunch, then have medium bowl of pasta with unsalted butter and bit of parm ,cup of fresh strawberries for lunch, dinner is a milkshake with strawberries raspberries skim milk and loads of equal, and for the last few days have added a ........... banana, eeekkk i know it is usually forbidden but its the only way i can get my pottassium up without adding protein and cals( i still feel very guilty about it lol )
Usual day is 1000-1300 of cals, 45 protein, 15-20 fat
since diet i have gone from 58/59 kgs to 53kgs and im 5"7
no sugar cranberry juice in between lunch and dinner also
SUPPS-saw palmetto everyday,100mg baby asprin every 2 days,folic acid
DH Supps- 30,000 cranberry a day
rephresh every 3 days
zyrtec everyday
DH has been releasing 2x day for 12 days
and we are planning to BD O-3 (last night),O-2,O-1,and O

so my question is my last application of Rephresh was 3 nights ago and im due to use another application tonight but am also wanting to BD tonight and dont want to kill all the sperm, O is in 2 days so i need to do another application of rephresh as im planning to BD through O,
So when should i do it so its not going to affect sperm tonight(in 5hrs or so) yet still cover me till O ? thanks heaps :happy:

you could just use another applicator (or half applicator) this morning... if you're O-2 now, and you will still be BDing on OV day that should be fine timing to not prevent a pregnancy!

Thanks heaps for the fast reply, yep im O-2 now , im in australia and its already 3 in the afternoon and im planning to BD tonight in 5 hrs or so, so do you mean use it now and not worry about overdoing it and killing tonights batch of sperm, then just BD tomorrow O-1 ,and O ?

[rainbowflower]

it will be working as effectively in 2 days as it will today if you apply it today.. I don't think it works more the sooner you use it, although you might have slightly less of it in there after a couple of days

the product website says that it doesn't hinder TTC, and they must have tested it to make that claim

if you have worries about using it and killing off all the sperm, perhaps you would be better off not using it at all?

[4BOYS]

Ok , i didnt relise it dosnt hinder TTC , thanks for that info ,i feel heaps better now , so what if i BD tonight without putting rephresh in (just so it not to close to BD) then use application a few hours after so it starts working for my BDs tomorrow and day after (O-1 , and O) ? and will there still be some affect of the Rephresh for tonights BD from the application 3 days ago ? Thanks again and sorry if im confusing you cause i have confused myself lol

[rainbowflower]

if your pH is already low before tonights attempt that would be fine!

[4BOYS]

Yes it still is low, Thanks again

[rainbowflower]

good luck! :)

I also think both of those scenarios are fine - good luck!

1)Bananas are not forbidden on the Low Everything diet and are in fact a great way to get some easy cals with potassium.

2)You need MORE cals, should be 1500-1800. 1200-1500 is for people who are very tiny and only eat 1500-1800 cals normally and have conceived boys on that, or people who have plateaued and still have a lot of weight to lose. If ou are 5'7 you need 1500-1800 cals.

I would use the RepHresh as far before your attempt as possible, so if you knew you would TTC one night, use it the morning of that attempt.

Thanks again and sorry if im confusing you cause i have confused myself lol

Well, I do think it does hinder TTC at least somewhat, how could it not?

There will still be some effect from the 3 days ago batch but it will be less effective.

Using the applicator a few hours after TTC is too late, sperm leaves the vjj very quickly after intercourse but it will work for future attempts.

It really doesn't matter TOO much, there's no right or wrong way to do it, whatever you do, I'm sure will be just fine! GL

thanks again for everyoneones help :happy: last night i did end up BDing with a tiny tiny amount (less thsn a finger tip) of rephresh at entry just for some moisture TMI, and a half an hour later once i knew the sperm were out of the way ,i used the whole rest of the applicator to cover me for tonight and tomorows BDs, i am defently hoping the rephresh was still working from 3 days ago but its done now so whatever, i was more worried about killing lasts nights attempt by using it too close to BD so its all good ,NOW :fx: i havnt messed it all up

Thanks Atomic ,Ive bumped them up from 900 cals but im finding it hard to get the cals without the protein, arrrrgh i swear as soon as i get a BFP i am going to an all you can eat buffet , im not stressing about the banana too much cause i REALLY do need the pottassium and i know how vital it is, last week i was having all sorts of muscle cramps, and chest pains and since adding the banana i feel 1000% better :happy:

in the Dream Members section there are a couple threads that can help you - one is "100 calorie snacks" and the other is "quick fixes for diet disasters" They are stickied at the top of the page.

If you are having muscle cramps and chest pains I BEG YOU to make sure you get that 2500-3500 mg potassium every day. That is NOT GOOD.
