SYLK and Gender

Updated 7-11-15

NOTE from atomic: Since sunset posted this thread, we have seen disappointing results with all the jellies. They don't seem to be swaying much if at all and are seemingly neutral, getting the same success rates as the site as a whole. Additionally, they are really cutting odds of conception considerably with a great many people unable to conceive while using them. While most people do wish to start out using them, it should be among the first things that is dropped and please never add attempts while keeping Aci-Jel or any of the other jellies...one attempt has gotten by far and away better success rates for pink than the jellies and it's much easier to get pregnant with one attempt if you do not use jelly!!

Please everyone continue to share your experiences using Sylk not only with gender but also with how easily you conceived on it (or not!)

I saw the Preseed & Gender thread, thought I'd mkake a Sylk & Gender thread. I'm already pregnant so I shouldn't be obsessing about this stuff but I am.....

If you used Sylk to get pregnant, what gender did you have/are you having?? Thanks. :)

(maybe Atomic will sticky it)

I've stickied it for you :D

okay this off topic as i guess as i never used Sylk for my attempt, but thought I would put it out there, Sylk raised my ph like mad!! No other vaginal gel made my ph shoot up like Sylk did so I urge women to try it out first to see how it affects their ph before using it! My ph was usually in the low 4's and Sylk made it shoot up right to the high 6/low 7... crazy stuff! I ended up using aci gel and represh for my attempt as it didn't raise my ph.

Great idea for a thread and interesting info Sunset!!

Thanks for sticky-ing this! :)

Sunset, OH NO! That worries me because I wasn't checking my pH! Was it your first time using it? i had been using it for about 6 months so hopefully my body was used to it. I wonder if your body just wasnt used to it so it went nuts???

annabel, that's what I think happens with some of the very low pH products - if you're not used to it, your body "panics" and tries to wash it away, and the fluid it uses to wash it away is alkaline. That may not be such a bad thing tho - the initial burst of low pH will kill off some sperm and then the more alkaline fluid comes along to help whoever is left, make it to the egg.

I used Sylk and Acijel and had boy #3 HTH

Great thread. I was considering Sylk but maybe will just stick with rephresh

Brat - I remember seeing you on IG! :) I think there was a Sylk thread over there that you posted in. Seemed like there were a ton of people in that thread who got girls with it so I'm trying to remain hopeful.
