no wonder I only have girls...pH, diet, supplement questions? HELP!
Well, I ordered some pH test strips and they finally came in the mail. I checked my pH on Saturday and it was only a 5. I also checked DH and his was a 7.
Now, we've been taking supplements for about 2 weeks and have altered our diets. I haven't done any of the drinks because we aren't going to make our attempt until July.
Here's what we are both taking:
L-arginine (I think it's 500, but I can't remember)
Zinc 50
Folic Acid 800
Fish Oil 1000 mercury-free
vitamin e 400
vitamin b-12 (I think 150)
In terms of diet, I have completely cut out dairy. DH still has dairy with dinner each night. I have been drinking lemon water. I still have one regular coke a day. We have been salting our food, eating more meat with lunch and dinner. We each have at least one banana a day. I've been trying to have 3 glasses of fruit juice a day. We have potatoes at dinner each night and tomatoes.
When my cycle for July starts, I plan on doing the baking soda drink daily and I also plan on baking soda douche. I have been thinking about pre-seed with baking soda in it to raise the pH, but am not sure because I tend to produce a ton of cm so I am not sure if it is needed.
I am going to chart both temp and use ovulation predictor strips to determine the exact day of ovulation. We plan to BD as close to ovulation as possible.
What do you all think of my attempt? How can I get mine and DH's pH up into a good range for a boy attempt? Are there any other supplements that you would suggest? Are the supplements that I am currently taking good?
Thanks in advance for all your suggestions!
