New and TTC girl

[rancor]

Hi everyone! I'm new, just started trying for a girl. I'm a bit confused and want to make sure I am doing everything right. I just came off BC on 8/1. My AF started July 25 (so I took one day of a new packet). My BBT has been a bit erratic (dropping, then spiking, then dropping, the spiking). I had typical signs of O (cramps and heavier/creamier CM) around 8/6 and 8/7, but have yet to get a positive OPK.
I'm trying to get the diet under control (Boy is this one hard!). I'm taking 1260 mg of Calcium Citrate, 500 mg of Magnesium, 24,000 mg of Cranberry, and 800mg of Folic Acid a day. DH is reluctantly taking 16,000 mg of Cranberry a day. I'm drinking Crystal Lite like its going out of style. My PH tends to be around 5. I took his PH and its between 8 and 9! I can't get him to get on the girl diet, so I am thinking about doing a lime or vinegar douche around the peak BD time. I picked up a box of Replens, so was thinking about using this 1/2 before BD, then doing the lime tampon method after BD. Has anyone tried this before? Is this a good plan or is the a better way. I just don't think I can get him to lower his PH.
Any suggestions are much appreciated! Thanks!

I think ph has been largely debunked, as so many people have got opposites, I think atomic had a boy with perfect ph for girl sperm. I don't many people are doing lime douches as it drastically reduces conception. Your sway, your way but if you struggle to conceive this is one of the first things I would drop. I think you should reduce the supplements your on, most girl slayers are just taking folic acid. What is getting the best results for girl swayers is le diet, less than 1800 calories, protein less than 50 g, fat less than 60 g, vegetarian. One hour of exercise 5-7 days per week. Coffee and alcohol daily, one attempt in your fertile window. I am swaying pink also, good luck and pink dust! X

Girl swayers not slayers obvs! Lol

Thanks for replying! So has the calcium/magnesium been debunked? A lot of my research says this is the way to go. The diet has been REALLY hard for me, but if it is just primarily a vegetarian diet, I think I can do that. Ugh, so much conflicting information!

I hope some others come on and comment, yes I think mg and calcium support not recommended for swaying here. I think they were but not getting good results, so they dropped them!

Hi and welcome!!

Many of us on here, myself included, got boys doing the mineral supps and even with low pH (mine was 4.5). We don't necessarily believe in that stuff any more. But, it's your sway, your way. If I were you I would pick either Replens or douche (and I personally prefer a storebought vinegar and water douche since it saves you the "control-freakyness" of mixing your own douches, since being a control freak may sway a bit blue) and I'd skip the lime tampon.

I would also have you lower magnesium intake to more like 250 because that is gonna give you horrible diarrhea at that level of intake.

There are always reasons why I suggest different things on this site so if you want to know why something is different, please ask and I'll come along to explain.

I got my last TWO boys on the cal-mag supplements and dropped it all to get my girl. I know a bunch of people say the minerals sway pink, but that's not what my research showed and you can read more about it here (this is a 3 parter, the 3rd is the most "researchy" so read that one if you're interested http://genderdreaming.com/forum/tryi...roversial.html )

If you want to take the cal-mag, totally at your discretion, but what I DON"T want to see you guys do is eat your regular diet and then take the cal-mag too because when I was back on Ingender, all the ladies I saw who did that, had boys.

Our version of diet is here, and it's much easier to stick to. Some people do still like to try mixing the diets (so eating lower sodium along wtih doing LE principles) and you can do that if you wish. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/tryi...l-version.html
