COMMENTS?
well my sway in short:
I wanted to opt for a cut off but i had a longer lh surge than expected so i did natural BD’ing at 3,4 and 5.. yes 5 days before ov but i do seriously doubt anything will have come of those 2 first attempts with the amount of aci gel and lime used.

for my first 3 attempts i added a glob of aci gel an hour before attempt, didn't use anything as a lube.
for my first attempt i did a glob of aci gel at entrance of v at 5 minutes after dtd and I then did another glob of aci gel 30 minutes after that to lower ph.

for my second attempt i added aci gel an hour before dtd, nothing as a lube and i did a .20ml lime douche 5 minutes after dtd and a glob of aci gel 30 minutes later (i found this worked great to keep my ph low)

for my 3rd attempt i did aci gel an hour before attempt, used nothing as a lube and then inserted a .20ml lime douche 5 minutes after dtd and added a glob of aci gel an hour later.

my lh surge was longer than expected and i didn't want to leave it a 3 day cut off (i was originally aiming for a 2 day cut off) so i did straight tbm 1 day before ovulation. i accidently poured too much lime with the semen so the end result of splime was a ph of 4.3. i inserted splime and waited 5 minutes and then inserted my divacup. I then stood up and jumped up and down. i took femmecup out an hour later to test ph which was below 5 and then reinserted it and left it in til the next morning. i think it may have been too late for my o+12 attempt as my temp was already up and it was late in the evening but for my “o+12” attempt i didn't add anything before dtd (my ph was already below 4.5), used a bit of rephresh as a lube and added a glob aci gel 5 min after dtd and then inserted the divacup and just left it in.

so yes.. i can see several points where i could have done things more to the letter and been more strict with checking my ph every 30 minutes for the first 4 hours after dtd, but i'm happy with my attempt and i feel i've done a good sway so i'm not gonna beat myself up about it I’m happy I stuck with the diet as I do feel that diet is the most important swaying factor! I'm now keeping my fingers crossed for a sticky bean, be it a boy or a girl!

Congratulations and thanks for posting.

Nuthinbutpink ~ you mean the comprehensive shopping guide link i've got in my siggy? strange that you got an error message. i will have to take a look..

rainbowflower ~ My plan originally was to have a 2 day cut off and do an O+12 attempt, but of course it didn't go to plan in the end and I didn't want my cut off to be too long so i risked it and did a tbm lime attempt the day before ov. For some reason i had got it into my head that it was better to jump and dump with the diva cup in and let the swimmers really work for it than lie down if you know what mean? I do apologise my sway was so all over the place lol
