Splime??

[atomic sagebrush]

I'm not sure whether to try it or not,, I just feel v confused about the whole swaying thing at the mo, I have had lots of caffeine this week coke and red bull cos I've been poorly and couldn't face anything else so is it best not to try this month?? thanks for your replies/help it's much appreciated xx

If anything, excessive caffeine sways pink, not blue. you ahve to drink a fatal amount of caffeine before it does anything to your calcium absorption rates and we don't even know that we WANT calcium to be well absorbed for pink.

My mom, MIL, and stepmom all drink tons of caffeine and have all girls.

Don't pooh-pooh the effect of challenges on your testosterone! Looking at swaying as a challenge to overcome is a recipe for a failed sway because your T levels will go thru the roof.

So, Ph is less important than Testosterone going up??. DH (usual PH a 7.2) and I (4.5-5, SINCE starting the diet) did a practice run today (one day AF has ended). Immediately after sex, my PH had gone up to a 6, as DH's PH went up to 7.9. I was sooo depressed, knowing that it's me who is contributing to making the boys!. Imagine what it's going to be when I get closer to OV??!!, I was planning on skipping douche, TBM, and antihistamines...but now I know there's no way I will skip anything...too upset with my body.

Hi wishing4princess dh usual ph8 and me around ph4.5-5, we too have tested staright after sex with a condom and my ph was 6 (not around OV) so if dh realeased inside me and around then sure it would be much much higher, we are good at making boys!

I think i typed wrong about tbm a challenge i didnt mean we thought it was a challenge or see it as a challenge. So hopefully it wont raise testosterone.

I am happy and relaxed about our plan and test run went very well and didnt feel stressed at all. We will try splime tbm in Feb and if we dont get pg then we will try natural in March. We are doing other swaying methods also.

Anyone else going to try splime?

We don't know, but I think the testosterone evidence is 1000 times better done and from more reputable sources than the pH stuff is. Your natural pH at O is in the 6-7 and the natural pH of semen is 7-8, so it is VERY likely that people conceive girls every day with pH in the 7's because taht's what your pH just IS unless you do all this other stuff to lower it.

I conceived what was prob. twin boys with pH of 4.5 and testosterone thru the roof.

pH ALWAYS goes up after sex, that is normal, because the semen raises the pH. You do not even have EWCM one day after AF in most cases, so that pH of 6 is not coming from you.

You do NOT NEED to douche or do TBM to conceive a girl, the jellies do that for you and without risking

OMG! Atomic, you rock! so I used a full applicator of Rephresh, yesterday, and my PH has stayed around 4.0 until today!!..Hoping this is all that I will need through OV!

[HappyLea]

I have got some RepHresh and replens but not tried them yet.

Atomic are you saying that if we bring our ph down with RepHresh/Replens etc then the ph of his sperm wont matter??

If we were to do both bring down our ph and DH ph (splime) would this be too much?? Would it not give better chance of girl if we did conceive with this method?? We are taking supps also and i am dieting.

When I checked my DH's pH (a couple of weeks before our attempt - eek!) it was crazy high - somewhere around a 10! I had him stop drinking OJ and start drinking coke and he started taking cranberry and aspirin but he only managed a short time before we conceived so I'm sure his pH was still on the high side. I used Rephresh and Aci-jel and did a Jump and Dump (to get rid of any surplus high pH semen!) and still conceived a girl

[HappyLea]

Thanks Zancal! Everytime i test DH ph he is about 8. I just want to do everything i can to up my chances of a girl as this is our last baby. All the sway will be the same just now questioning if to do splime or natural now???

Yes, that is exactly what I'm saying. Acid is acid, low pH is low pH and it is MUCH better for testosterone and odds of pg to shoot some jelly up there and leave it to do what it is chemically designed to do, than to obsess over what your pH is constantly for days on end, and goof around tinkering with eyedroppers and lime juice.

Plus, using the splime/Diva cup method, you are keeping max. numbers of semen and sperm right by your cervix. Yes, the lime will kill most of them off but at the same time, doesn't it make more sense to use a jelly to keep pH down and do a jump and dump instead??
