Pink swayers' December thread

[KraizyDaizy]

Krazy Daisy....I just started using the Rephresh and the same cottage cheese discharge started for me too. I think it could be yeast. I'm wondering if either the represh lowered of elevated my ph so much is caused an infection? I don't have ph strips yet, so I don't know.

Interested in hearing what others have today.

Oh I just love your name!!! I am hoping the PH is 4.5 like I read in the post about Replens and RePHresh that is supposed to raise or lower PH to the magic number of 4.5. I am guessing we just leave the cottage cheese in there?

KrazyDaizy....I'm already sticking rephresh, a bbt thermometer, a penis...and possibly a lime tampon!!!! LOL!!! I am not sticking a hand up to reach out the cottage cheese. I guess as long as the ph is spot on, it's ok. Are you testing w/ PH strips? Our attempt isn't until April...I'm going to start tracking PH in January.

Oh, I am laughing so hard LOL! I wasn't really thinking of a douche or something to get it out LOL. I did the lime tampon early on and it was a disaster. I do not recommend them at all.

I have a Hannah tester, but we moved, and for the life of me, I cannot find it grrrhh! I have previously tested and my PH was in the low 5 range.

What exactly was disastrous about the lime tampon?

On IG there was no notation that you should use the OB tampons the ones with no applicator. I just used the plastic one and make the solution soaked it and when it came time to get the applicator off, it would not budge. I had to try and use scissors to get it off, then squish is small enough to get it inside me. It hurt and did not fit right. I could hardly get it in, but I did wear if for as long as I could. My VG got really burned/irritated that cycle. I did not try lime again. I am not sure how they say to make them on this site. Hopefully this site has better information on it. Best of luck with it if you choose to try it, I would practice and not wait till u actually DTD to put one in LOL! I was so mad!!!

Hi ladies, I've had lots to catch up on so I'm going to jump straight back in with the couple of things I can remember!

Rephresh is fine with Replens, Aci-jel and Sylk but shouldn't be used with lime or vinegar. The discharge is a reaction that some get when they first use it (it even says on the instructions that it might happen) but should get better the more you use it - imo this is a good reason to use it every 3 days after AF rather than waiting until your attempt.

Thanks for clarifying, Z - I don't know why I thought you couldn't use rephresh and replens together. I must have been confusing it with lime. Good thing you mentioned that, though, since some of the ladies here were planning to use lime.

Thanks for clarifying. How would you use the RePHresh in relation to the Replens? So no need to do any kind of douche to remove the little bits hanging around in there? I am just thinking that this would be a barrier to the swimmers LOL!!!

[zanacal]

It may well be a barrier to the swimmers but that's the idea - lower sperm numbers = pink!

I used Aci-jel with Rephresh which is kind of the same thing - I did Rephresh every 3 days in the morning and used Aci-jel closer to my attempt. You could use a finger tip of Replens an hour or so before your attempt. I actually used 1/4 applicator of Aci-jel around 7 hours before our attempt because our attempt was first thing in the morning.

Thanks so much, I might you a little Replens then. Thanks so much for all your help!!!
