Covered in blue bumped it for me. Thank you. And Thank you for the article. I have been using acijel so i guess i will stop that....
Just hasnt been getting the results to justify its existence, unfortunately (I would SO LOVE if swaying was that easy, just a little jelly! But alas no)
My head is spinning. I remember reading on this site about different types of ph lowering gels such as rephresh and replense and how 4.5-5ph is idel for concieving a girl and I had such a strict diet that I'm so completely tired of and can't wait to concieve so I can eat and drink without obsessing and freaking out about what I'm putting in my mouth... And now I'm reading that all this thing does is kill of sperm. And I used rephresh one day before dtd and then two days later.. Now I just wanna scream!!
This site is not and never has been "do swaying atomic's way or else". It is a clearinghouse for information about how to use all the various sway tactics safely. Many people WANT TO DO pH at least to start with, and that is their business, their decision to make on that. If I start making this into a cookie cutter approach then it would be no better than any of the other sites.
I would still much rather see people using the jellies (even though I personally do not believe they're working) than get frustrated and go to another site and start up with all the douching (which is causing harm and making it take forever to get pregnant way way more so than the jellies). I try to figure out what is the best, easiest, safest way of doing all the sway tactics, even the ones I personally don't believe in. I am not the font of all earthly knowledge and the fact is I could very well be wrong, maybe pH works for some people and if I go around ruthlessly cutting out the things that didn't work for me, that would be a step in the wrong direction.
It's your sway, your way. If you believe in pH, cool, that's why I leave the info up there. If you don't, then drop it. I did and got a girl without it. But I"m not going to go around starting to bully people into doing it the way that I think works.
Yeh I get exactly what you mean. The information you give and your essays are extremely valuable and thank you for that. Sorry I was just having an off day. Thanks for all your feedback. Greatly appreciated
Thanks for sending me in this direction atomic. I also feel stalker-ish because frankly everything you say makes sense and I like your approach. It isn't a one hit wonder. It's logical and sensible.

Atomic- I have a feeling I know your answer but your words always bring me comfort haha
How do you feel about the theory that vaginal cm ph and/or urine ph in early pregnancy can predict gender?
My brain tells me it’s a total joke. But I’m nervous at the same time because “google” lol haha
Everyone has their “claims” lol
And while I think I know what I’m hoping for one moment, the next I feel like I don’t really know ��
I can find major benefits to a boy or a girl to be truthful. I start to think it might swing one way based on these types of things, then I feel badly about the thought of it not being the other gender - hormones REALLY do a number on me.
I didn’t realize you updated it a month ago. awesome! Just saw the original date on page 1
ok! was there anything in particular you were wondering about though?
Hi Atomic! So just to be clear, since you didn't say it outright in the essay, RepHresh, Sylk, and antihistamines are not really effective, since trying to change pH is not effective in swaying?
Yes we've tracked our results with those things and found that none of them have worked. Same number of people getting girls with and without them.Quote:

This site and your essay makes me feel so much better about trying to gender sway and finding good ways (mentally and physically) of approaching it! Though I still feel like I have a lot to learn!
Exactly, it just made NO sense to me either and over time I started to wonder "are they making this so impossible to do because they want to always blame it on us when it doesn't work out?" I mean sticking to that awful diet for 3 months and never ever cheating?? Who could even DO that? And then when I saw several people seemingly do it perfectly only to get a boy I was like "this cannot be right" and that's when I started researching. Have you seen this? It has more info about my journey to this method of swaying https://www.genderdreaming.com/forum...sh-anyway.html
I'm here to answer any and all questions so please just ask, ask, ask anything you want to know. :)
Hi again, Atomic,
You are truly amazing in your dedication to respond to thread posts and questions! I saw both this response and your response to my 'introduction' post, so thank you for that. And yes, that was my reaction! I felt like, if I don't eat a strict diet of white bread and diet coke for 3 months and have a boy, then the sway fail is my fault? It felt incredibly counter-intuitive, and I knew my doctor would not support a drastic diet like what some of these sites were recommending. I will absolutely read through that link you provided! And thank you for your gracious invite to ask more questions. I will definitely be doing that along the way (my husband and I are hoping to try in Dec, so we have time to prep for a sway). I did try to read a thread about frequency of BD and whatnot, but all the acronyms had me confused (in full disclosure, I had to look up what 'ttc' and 'BD' meant). If I find that one again, I'll try to post a more specific question there. Thanks again!
Abbreviations are here: https://www.genderdreaming.com/forum...anslation.html (they seem impossible to translate at first but within a couple days you'll be using them like an expert, even in conversations with people who will have no idea what you're talking about, ha ha)
This makes so much sense! I am so glad I found this forum and you. I felt a lot of pressure to do all these crazy things to change my pH that honestly don't feel right. I don't think I could ever feel right about putting egg whites in my lady parts! I'm in a Facebook group that uses a lot of IG for their sways. This one lady in the group has been keeping her pH at 8-8.5 (blue sway) and has been TTC for 2 years now with no luck getting pregnant with either. Do you think her constant high pH could be affecting her fertility?

Yes I absolutely do, not to mention that egg whites are NOT analogous to EWCM and semen is not made to swim through it.
But that having been said, the IG people also really hurt their chances in several other ways like timing with the one attempt on ovulation day, which is also terrible for odds of conception. Not to mention the diet, which is incredibly unhealthy. When I was on that site there were people who were going on and on for many months/years not getting pregnant, and then they ended up with really low bone mass and tooth decay, and even high blood pressure from so long eating no calcium and tons of salt.
I have a thread about the egg whites here, it's not a traditional essay, I have a lot of thorough replies on the various pages so you may want to read through the whole thing. https://www.genderdreaming.com/forum...re-get-pg.html
Thanks atomic! I will definitely read this. I love reading your work. It always makes sense. Been reading your stuff for months before I decided to join and purchase a plan :-)

Here's a great article about the risks of lime in the vagina. https://blogs.scientificamerican.com...nd-lime-juice/ pH doesn't work anyway, please don't take the chance
Just a theory about ph... Could doing the stuff to lower ph (and as you have said, most women are lowering it to a level that kills all sperm), maybe it is killing a bunch off, but by doing so is lowering sperm count that gets through, and may sway pink by lowering sperm count in the uterus, not in the traditional sense of swaying with ph?
That's what I assumed at first, but since our results have shown clearly that the pH stuff hasn't helped, (same number of people getting boys with and without it, and it's the same as the overall success rate of the site) and then in addition, seeing SOOO many pH opposites where people with the "right" pH got the wrong gender and vice versa, it's really become tough for me to believe in it any more.Quote:

Okay gotcha thanks! ... Its so weird how something makes complete sense and still doesn't seem to make a difference... Frustrating!
It only makes sense if you think that X sperm are big and strong. But that has been debunked completely, we know without a doubt that Dr. Shettles was wrong about thinking he could see X and Y sperm through a microscope. He was looking at capacitated and uncapacitated sperm. X and Y sperm are about the same size, live the same amount of time, and swim the same speed. And just as you said while I started off thinking exactly that - that sperm count might still be swaying and since acid kills sperm it might still work, we tracked those results and disproved it. Again, totally fine to give it a whirl if you want to at first but drop before adding attempts. :)
