Please understand that I don't always get to do this ~my~ way and have always tried to include as many old-school sway tactics as I can, when I can come up with ways to do them safely. People wanted a supp to lower pH internally (up inside where the jellies and douches cannot go)even though I personally doubt it works. Previously it seemed that aspirin was safer than cranberry, now with this new data, it seems less safe to me and so I am not going to recommend it any more. People who are already taking it can continue it at their discretion or gradually wean off. no one ever ever stop aspirin cold turkey, that may cause heart attacks.

Thanks for clarifying, atomic. Do you have a link to an article about the pH stuff not really swaying? I realize you are totally swamped and don't always have a chance to update all your wonderful articles on this stuff, but it would be great to read what the theory was, and why, from your 30,000 foot view, you suspect it isn't working. I'm avoiding looking at the statistic spreadsheet to reduce my being "Martha"-y, but I figured reading an article wouldn't cause me to be too over-analytical the way a spreadsheet might. =) Thanks!

There is a PH essay somewhere, I will see if u can find it...

HTH :)

Thanks Coral!! :)

So are you recommending we drop the Rephresh?.

NO, I am saying let's drop both aspirin and cranberry because cranberry isn't adequately safe to begin with, and this new data has come to light that is concerning to me about the safety of aspirin - something that may increase risks of heart attacks for 1/4 of the population is not something I want everyone using without medical advice (it's still ok if your doctor says you need it, of course)

RepHresh is not taken orally and cannot cause these problems with the way your blood clots. Now that having been said, I don't think RepHresh is getting good results (same number of people getting girls with and without it, and that is the same success rate for the site as a whole, indicating it's doing nothing) and it certainly doesn't justify the trouble it causes (lower odds of conception) so it's not something I feel is really super effective. not harmful, though
