I bought sylk in Australia from chemist warehouse. When was it banned?

I bought it last year when swaying so things definitely could have changed since then... It was probably feb or March last year. Fwiw it didn't work for us we conceived a boy using it and aci jel and rephresh lol! My newest little man was determined haha!
I didn't test my ph at all or follow anything to do with ph it wasn't in my custom plan :)Quote:

hi Guys, im in QLD. where can i buy Refresh?
Any pharmacy, it's spelt weird "rephresh" guessing cos it reduces your pH, you could try chemist warehouse online Buy RepHresh Vaginal Gel 4 applicators Online at Chemist WarehouseŽQuote:

Hey ladies, thought you might like this app I came across for Australian Calorie Counting. It's called "EasyDietDiary" (see pic below) & I find it great to keep track with LE diet.

:agree::agree::agree:
I use this app and I find it really good for tracking protein cals and fat.
It's made it all so much easier.Quote:

Hi mumof4 I'm easing into my sway because I'm only 4.5 months pp but so far so good! I'm completly vegetarian and staying under 1800 cals most days. Protein is always around 40 but my fat totals can creep up! We will ttc from around September so still a little while to tweak my diet. I will start the exercise when my lo is 6 months.Quote:

I have a 7 month old & the past 2 weeks I've had quite a few "cheat days" Easter does that to you I guess :wink: I'm similar with calories & fat. I've dropped the red meat but struggling to completely drop the white meat. We plan to TTC from June. All depends if I'm confident enough with weightloss & diet. I have no time pressure, just want to give this the best shot I can.Quote:

You will be ttc same time pp as me we will start when ds2 is 9 months. Wishing you so much pink dust!!!
Sounds like you ladies will be trying around the same time as me also, I'm looking to start ttc again for another girl to complete my familyQuote:

So exciting pinkinthestars, if you have any tips please share & congrats on 1st girl. We have similar age children, looking at our signatures. And I'm also a Taurus.
Oh wow Pinkinthestars that's great you are swaying again! There is a couple of ladies on here at the moment swaying again after a successful girl sway.
Will be awesome swaying alongside you. when do you plan to start ttc? I will start in September but have eased into diet and gone vegetarian for now xx
Hi Ladies,
Yes I'm planning on ttc again if all goes according to plan around September/October I haven't started my diet yet I'm breast feeding at the moment and just looking at moving in June so I'll be jumping into it around then and renewing my plan with atomic, my sway is in my signature feel free to read it if you like :)
I'll add any tips as I think of them
Hey girls - another TTC early Sept. I have been tweaking the diet, but fell off the bandwagon, but back on it. I am in the process of losing weight so fingers crossed!
Yay I'm glad there is a few of us all ttc around the same time! Maybe we can start a diet/ exercise motivation/ inspiration thread where we share what we are eating and doing?
Are your hubbys on board with swaying? If so what are they doing?
My hubby was not so into it last time but I took a lot of the pressure off by basically organizing all his supplements into a pill box and handing them to him everyday lols so I'll do the same this time round.Quote:

Also I'm a lazy bones and so exercise wasn't perfect for me last time but remember it is about any exercise that is considered more than you do so I did walking kids to school to and from daily about 4 blocks one way and I did try hypoxi for around a month but it got expensive so this time round I'm hoping to go to a mums and bubs exercise group class once a week and build up to more exercise, ATM I'm not sure if I've start ovulation again since having bub in Feb so just waiting to see and tracking my cycleQuote:

My ppaf returned at 4.5 months with ds1 and I was ebf but he was sleeping through the night from 12 weeks but this little one is no where near sleeping through yet!
My hubby is trying to drink a cup of soy milk for me every 2 days and he wants to start bike riding soon as well. Probably no supps for him though as he is on Zoloft and is smoking and drinking now which he didn't with our others really. He is eating more vegetarian meals probably 3-4 nights per week which is a huge change for him!
He is also back drinking energy drinks hoping that will sway pink too!
I found that mingle seasoning too Pinkinthestars it is amazing and hubby loves it too! Thanks for the tip!
If you girls want to get your Dh to drink some soy milk I get the vitasoy chocolate milk for Dh he says it tastes fine- they do a iced coffee also. It's in the refrigerated milk section at coles xx
oh thankyou this helps, i ebf my last boy till he was roughly 2 not cause i wanted lols he was very demanding and i never slept im also ebf my new bubba girl cause she is similar to him but is more happier so bonus :) i was wondering about the breast feeding part, glad you both like mingle it was a lifesaver for me im a big foodie so i used it on potatoes alot hehe.Quote:

Ladies,
For those trying for a girl i thought i would offer another tip, i recently found this ither awesome seasoning called herbamare. I love my spaghetti and mince but to still get my fix and one i can make in large batches so the whole family can enjoy it i just boil up barella pasta for 8 minutes with a bit of iodised salt then top it with these tinned cherry tomatoes i found called mutti and mix through a generous amount of the Herbamare seasoning. Its lovely i love it and so do my kids so bonus :) ill post pictures below.
Also you'll see the oil beside the bowl that the bach remedy wild rose oil i use for myself. Also the meal on a whole is super cheap to make, also low in carbs so you can have a fair amount. Hope this helps :)
Herbamare is also free from milk proteins and preservatives.
Please excuse the side on photos not sure why they uploaded like that lol.
Just add a spinkle of parmesan cheese and your good to go i use the cheapy powered versian from the supermarket

Thank you Pink that looks so yummy I will definitely make this for the family-luckily they love pasta and rice and to them it doesn't matter what's with it lol so I'm getting heaps of veg meals into hubby!
I've seen that seasoning at coles I will buy some today.
Thanks again!
Glad your hubby is being cooperative bonus :)Quote:

Hopefully from September or October! No ppaf yet but no surprise as ds2 still feeding all night!
I finally got my treadmill so have started my exercise but only getting 3-4 sessions on it a week so far because my ds2 is so unpredictable with sleep and Dh is working super long days atm.
Diet is going ok- a few unavoidable cheats due to family occasions but keeping under protein and fat quite well.
How are you going so far? Still thinking to try around October?
