rephresh vs replens... Another question at the end!

Ugh I am so mad at myself I went to target today and I grabbed replens not rephresh and I doubt they will take it back..Is there a major difference between the 2?

As long as you didn't open it, I bet they will! :D
You want RepHresh!!!

I thought rephresh didnt have acetic acid in it which sways girl?? I didnt use replens though made my ph high

It doesn't but it's designed to keep the vaginal ph between 3.5 & 4.5 for at least 3 days. So if dh's semen ph is 9 when it enters the vagina, the Rephresh works to bring it down into the above range so that things stay kosher in the vagina, thus preventing infections and what not. Or so I've gathered from researching :)

Some people believe acetic acid is magic for pink but it's much more likely that low pH kills sperm regardless of what sort of acid it is, and that lower sperm numbers sway pink for reasons we don't yet know.

RepHresh will chemically react with everything it comes into contact with to bring pH to 4.5, so semen and CM are lowered in pH to 4.5-5 range. Replens (and acijel and sylk as well) simply combine with semen and CM and the pH is more an average between them unless you use a lot of acijel/sylk, which can kill all sperm and make it impossible to get pg.

Rephresh. I'm pg with a girl and used it.

atomic im shocked i got pg the first month.....i used acijel, rephresh, lime, and a little replens oh and sylk but that made my ph sky rocket....i wonder if i was just using to many things?

I'm shocked too. Only you and Zanacal got pg with doing all those things (and she didn't do anywhere near as much as you.) Sometimes you just get lucky but no one should count on that.

Can I just point out that even tho your pH skyrocketed, you still conceived a baby girl??

I have another repHresh question. I bought some tonight and oh my gosh this stuff isn't cheap. Do you think if would work just as fine I did 1/2 applicator every 3 days or should I do the full applicator every 3 days??
