COMMENTS?
well my sway in short:
I wanted to opt for a cut off but i had a longer lh surge than expected so i did natural BD’ing at 3,4 and 5.. yes 5 days before ov but i do seriously doubt anything will have come of those 2 first attempts with the amount of aci gel and lime used.
for my first 3 attempts i added a glob of aci gel an hour before attempt, didn't use anything as a lube.
for my first attempt i did a glob of aci gel at entrance of v at 5 minutes after dtd and I then did another glob of aci gel 30 minutes after that to lower ph.
for my second attempt i added aci gel an hour before dtd, nothing as a lube and i did a .20ml lime douche 5 minutes after dtd and a glob of aci gel 30 minutes later (i found this worked great to keep my ph low)
for my 3rd attempt i did aci gel an hour before attempt, used nothing as a lube and then inserted a .20ml lime douche 5 minutes after dtd and added a glob of aci gel an hour later.
my lh surge was longer than expected and i didn't want to leave it a 3 day cut off (i was originally aiming for a 2 day cut off) so i did straight tbm 1 day before ovulation. i accidently poured too much lime with the semen so the end result of splime was a ph of 4.3. i inserted splime and waited 5 minutes and then inserted my divacup. I then stood up and jumped up and down. i took femmecup out an hour later to test ph which was below 5 and then reinserted it and left it in til the next morning. i think it may have been too late for my o+12 attempt as my temp was already up and it was late in the evening but for my “o+12” attempt i didn't add anything before dtd (my ph was already below 4.5), used a bit of rephresh as a lube and added a glob aci gel 5 min after dtd and then inserted the divacup and just left it in.
so yes.. i can see several points where i could have done things more to the letter and been more strict with checking my ph every 30 minutes for the first 4 hours after dtd, but i'm happy with my attempt and i feel i've done a good sway so i'm not gonna beat myself up about it I’m happy I stuck with the diet as I do feel that diet is the most important swaying factor! I'm now keeping my fingers crossed for a sticky bean, be it a boy or a girl!
