My Sway Plan, please chime in!

Hi Everyone,

After many months of lurking here and reading, I'm ready to make my first sway attempt (pink). I'd love it if you'd take a sec to review it and give me your opinions, thanks.

I've been taking: Folic acid, vit.C, B vitamins, Calcium Citrate, Magnesium, Cranberry.
DH has been taking: Cranberry, Calcium Citrate, Magnesium
Dietary changes: Lots of Crystal Light, No red meat, no potatoes, no tomatoes. Skipping breakfast.
DH to abstain starting from 9 days prior to O.
I'll use RePhresh AF-O every 3 days.
Will DTD right through O, missionary, no big O for me, shallow penetration
1 hr. Prior to attempt, I'll take one dose Sudafed.
After attempt, I'll prop hips 10 mins and then check Ph and make alterations via Rephresh

Does anyone think that I should use a lime tampon in addition to the Rephresh I'll be using?
Atomic, I'd love to hear from you!

Don't use lime with RepHresh, the low pH of the lime can make the RepHresh have a rebound effect and cause the RepHresh to raise pH (RepHresh is designed to keep pH at 4.5-5, so when you toss some lime with pH of 2 in there, the RepHresh can actually cause pH to go up.

I personally don't like women to take Sudafed, it can cause strokes in young women taking blood thinners (like cranberry.) I would have you use Zyrtec and/or Benadryl instead but that is your call to make. You can give DH Sudafed, however.

The supps and diet are a very good IG style sway.

I personally do not advise checking pH after intercourse. The sperm are gone by then and all it does is create stress for you. Your call to make, of course! http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...ph-pickle.html

can't thank you enough for the resonse, Atomic. One last question I hope that you'll help me with. I'm going out of town on the morning of the 10th and I suspect that I will O that evening or on the 11th. I won't be home again until the night of the 11th. Originally, I had my heart set on a true O+12 attempt but I'd like to have a BFP at the end of this cycle and I'm afraid of missing the egg if I try to wait until I'm home. My DH has been abstaining for 9 days and I was thinking that we'd DTD late at night on the 9th. Should I ask him to do FR while I'm away overnight and then DTD again on the night of the 11th? After reading up on everything I can get my hands on here, I realize that you don't believe that timing is an overly important factor. I'm worried that a second attempt in the fertile window will lead to a higher sperm count, swaying blue. Would love your advice!

I'm sorry I just now saw this - please feel free to shoot me a PM whenever you have any urgent questions. Hope I'm not too late!

I would go ahead and have him switch to the compressed FR and have another attempt on the 11th if you're in a hurry to get pg. As long as you're doing other sway tactics, the extra shot probably won't up numbers of sperm too much and may increase odds of pg. Have a look at this, it explains how to do it. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/ttc-...ff-o-12-a.html

You're the best! He released 3 times yesterday, he's a real champ eh? :wink: He's released once today, I wish he'd done twice but I think we'll still go ahead tonight.

Yes, do go ahead tonight!!! Good luck!!

Done and dusted! I'm now in the 2ww....eeeeeek! thanks for all your help and support, Atomic!
