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!

That's GREAT Wishing! Good luck!!

ok im sold !!!! found this thread by accident lol, im chucking the TBM in the bin (literally) and im going to use rephresh a full app every 3 days untill i see a +opk then il stop ? is that the right way to go AS ?

It depends when you're going to DTD - will you have one attempt or several and when are you planning to have it/them?

[atomic sagebrush]

With one attempt - I would try and time it to use either 1 applicator or 1/2 applicator the night before or morning of your attempt (no sooner than 8-12 hours before your attempt) whatever day that may be. The more you use, and the closer to your attempt, the lower odds of pg are. You also have the option of using 1/2-1 app of RepHresh the night before your attempt (no sooner for this method) and then using Sylk as a BD lube.

With more than one attempt, I would still try to time it to use the RepHresh the night before/morning of first attempt, and then have a couple attempts (example, O-3, O-2) then on the morning of O-1 (8-12 hours before attempt), use 1/2 app of RepHresh, have attempts on O-1, O Day, and O+1. No need to reapply RepHresh for the final O+1 attempt because odds of pg are very low by that point - egg(s) will either be fertilized or dead most of the time.

Ok, so witch got me yesterday and i know i went overkill on the sway on our attempt in Jan with Splime/rephresh ad benadryl day before attempt.

So this month we are going to drop the splime also but keep everything else the same. which is sp/vitex/baby aspirin/ rephresh and folic acid for me. Licquorice root and baby aspirin for DH. Going to take benadryl on lead upto Ov also. We were going to make the one attempt on O+12 after abstain but i read timing is least important. And just undecided on when to DTD and how often.

Atomic what you wrote about the attempts like O-3 O-2 O-1 O and O+1 would the frequency of dtd above up sperm count therefore taking into boy territory? Would DH abstain before this?

I just found the thread for bd frequency for pink and blue and that answered my question. when reading so much about swaying it gets all muddled up in my head...lol! Was good to rephresh my memory on that one

Doing more than one attempt in your fertile window could sway a bit if you were doing nothing else to sway, but when you're swaying pink, you are doing somuch that kills sperm/reduces their lifespan that you almost HAVE to do more than one attempt or you will not get pg.

Doing abstain and then doing 5 attempts makes no sense because you get neither the benefits of the abstain or the benefits of FR. Either do abstain with one attempt, or frequent release with 7-10 releases BEFORE your first attempt (you can do one or many attempts with FR.) Since I do not believe in timing, if you were to abstain with one attempt, I would do the attempt at pos OPK - give you a slight cutoff but still good odds of pg and it will not raise your T levels trying to figure it out.
