I agree that it's the last thing you do before DTD. It is very slimy and slippery. I think that's kinda the weird part is really just trying to get it all done when it's go time and remember everything. I wrote a list and definetly used it, reading it over and over to double check I did everything....even though everything didn't necessarily go how I wanted or expected. I think you are smart to do the trial runs.Quote:

The trial run thing is a good idea but to be honest if I had tried it before hand, I would have been discouraged and dropped it. But I if I had to do it all over I would totally use it, I think it helps with faster conception even b4 swaying, just my :twocents:, GL :luck:
Viene made a post about egg whites a while back, here it is. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/show...-Using-real-EWQuote:

I personally like PreSeed better http://genderdreaming.com/forum/show...?1111-Pre-Seed and http://genderdreaming.com/forum/show...-lure-of-Lubes!! You can actually mix some baking soda in with PreSeed to raise the pH and the directions are here http://genderdreaming.com/forum/show...ng-Soda-basics!
Yes, a lot of people have gotten infections from them unfortunately.Quote:

There is a reason why both EWCM and semen is naturally pH in the 7's, it's because ALL sperm survive best at that pH and I find it hard to believe that if X and Y both thrive in pH in the 7's, that any sperm would love being pH 9.
Also, my other concern with egg white is that a lot of people have found that it's so runny that it washes the semen away. You might as well douche afterwards, that's how much is getting washed out. Lola has a post about this somewhere and she actually quit using the EW because of it.
So what is the highest pH we have?Quote:

I never had problem with EW . We don't have to use the runnier part of it. But again I was doing msu so I needed the ew for that.
It varies dramatically but around ovulation, it is in the 6-7 range.
So do you think that a pH of 6 before doing any fingers or baths etc is great for a boy sway?Quote:

Oops not suire why my msg cut off? Was going to add I will be using pre seed and baking soda too as I don't feel I get enough ewcm.
TTC, in the months before I started swaying with DS 4, I WAS a 6. Then my pH dropped because of the diet but I still conceived him even with my low pH! I think my natural setting prob. is 6. So yes, I think 6.7 is actually quite good for blue and then if you do PreSeed, BSF or whatever, that will only help.Quote:
