Yeah thats what I've been thinking, the acid/alkaline thing, but I seen someone mention that PH doesn't really matter and it's all about the diet so was just curious as to how it works.Quote:

I get what your saying :)
Who really knows hey! But I'm going with it LOL
You should ask atomic all this. Im also interested what she says.Quote:

TTC5- Thats neat you got to meet John Edwards and he picked up on that, to bad he couldn't/wouldn't tell you more.
WP - my kids never knew about m/c till last Oct, I hated having to tell them that things don't always work out.
Sorry your yuck had sunk into your chest, coughs seem to linger much longer then any stuffed head.
LBAM- swaying isn't a guarantee because you can't be sure which sperm hits the egg but you can make the environment and the sperm at optimal as possible. You can be well nourished but if your calorie intake isn't what your body deems a boy safe environment then you may have a girl, you can have poor sperm and a shitty diet but if your calorie intake is super high your body can decide it's a boy rich place. There isn't a perfect combo that works for everyone and like I said there is always someone who doesn't fit the mold. I'm one of those that got a boy with a 5.5ish pH so don't think it was a huge factor for me but your diet changes your cm, healthier more nutrient rich cm can give those little blue swimmers an advantage. Your DH should be on the diet as well to improve his sperm so when those swimmers hit the boy friendly cm they have a better chance. Basically the diet makes everything optimal and ready but again there is no guarantee.
Flava - I was lovin' our cooler weather for a while too, now I'm freezing my buns off lol
Bec - if eating protein is hard for you then I would say it's a very important factor for you. I really believe the things that are the hardest to change are the ones that will change out bodies the most.
I'm with you on the stripper thing, mental contact is one thing but half naked girl wanting his money is something totally different. I too completely trust my dh but don't trust a woman willing to rub and kiss a married man. I know not all strippers are sleazy but in general I'd rather they stay away :)
I don't really like to be cold but it's always hot here and cool suppose to be better for ttc blue , so im happy for it now.
Exactly....but I am glad I have an open enough relationship with them that they feel comfortable talking to me about that stuff. Their innocence and candor is just so touching, even if they ask the exact question that you ask yourself fifty times a day, kwim? How exciting that your girls get to experience all of this with you, and the arrival of a little brother, though!Quote:

To be honest, I haven't even gotten that far with my new DH, even though we've been together for 3 years. Since he was a dancer, I thought he was probably a huge ladies' man (read: womanizer) when we first met, but he isn't, just a normal sweet guy. He is more reserved than most I've been with, though. I just don't know if he does masturbate much, and quite frankly, I wouldn't care, except for the low sex drive thing and the low sperm count thing. I think I am going through the newlywed phase still, LOL!
OR IMPLANTATION! 5, you get pg easy, I would not doubt you get a bfp this time!!!Quote:

LBAM, you sound like me circa a year ago. I was all philosophical and questioning of swaying. I am a very scientific person, so things really need to have a good correlation to make me believe in it.Quote:

Say your personal dice has not 6 sides, but 1000. Many sides are pink, and many are blue. When you conceive, you are essentially rolling the dice in regards to gender. When you sway, you just turn more of your pink sides to blue ones, although there will still be many pink sides. You can't turn them all blue. And there is really no tellin' how much you can convert to blue through swaying, although many studies cited on this site show that diet really seems to make a difference. You are simply giving yourself a higher chance of your desired gender, but NOT a guarantee.
Some women can sway their butts off and do everything 150% and still end up with an opposite, and then some barely sway and get what they wanted. So, you really have to just decide what you think might help you and do your best, but really, it is important to go into it knowing, and really believing, that you could get either gender, and that nothing you did or could have done would have made a difference. This is a guilt-free swaying site.
I hope that helps answer your question....and at least make you feel better about it all. Personally, I say why not sway. It does up your odds, I firmly believe that. As long as your heart and mind are on the same page about it not being a formula for your desired gender, it is all good.
