What does BSF do to you?

Thanks envisioned, I would LOVE it if people gave up BSF! I don't think it's good for sperm!

I used it last month and no BFP, Im just curious as to why you don't think it is good for sperm?

Thats what happened with me too.. was watery and just came out!

Because the idea that Y sperm "love" super high pH is completely unproven - ALL sperm thrive in a pH in the 7's and it makes no sense to me that sky high pH is any better for sperm than super low pH is!

Sperm weren't made to swim thru baking soda, they were made to swim thru EWCM and putting a big dose of chemistry between the sperm and the egg, just cannot assist in conception. Not to mention, if your body is trying to wash away some irritating substance, it might be producing fluids that while they may APPEAR to be similar to EWCM, may be totally different and not good for sperm or conception.

The only reason why baking soda (as a douche) ~might~ aid in conception is by slightly raising the pH of the whole vagina so less sperm are killed by the low pH. (I don't advise BSD either because I think it washes away CM and is irritating.) But a BSF is SO concentrated and it's right at the cervix so not only does it raise pH higher than is optimal for sperm to survive, it's almost like a barrier method of birth control really!!

I have used it two months in a row and no BFP, I'm not using it for my try this month, so we'll see what happens. Plus when I did use it, it didn't burn persay but it did tingle and wasn't all that comfortable. I'm just going to stick with pre-seed and my own EWCM and hopefully that will be enough this time around

I used preseed and I totally recommend it, its really good and I got BFP first time round using it. I also didn't do BSF because I didn't believe that it would really help and would probably cause an infection, I'm a great believer of if it ain't broke don't try to fix it! sort of thing, but pre seed is meant to help fertility so good luck and I hope you get your BFP!

thank you bumblebee, hopefully leaving out the BSF does the trick

Im so glad I stumbled on this thread! I have been debating on EW BSF Preseed and trying to figure out what to use for my attempt. I have read numours sways and dont really see great results with EW or BSF. It seems the best results are of those who use only preseed(although not a whole lot of ppl do and I cant see why not!)...this makes so much sense! I was thinking..If 7 is optimal for all sperm then wouldnt anything lower AND higher sway pink?? Maybe by using the EW and BSF ppl are acutally lowing sperm count and therefor increasing their chance for a girl??

Sorry somehow I missed seeing this post, never be shy about giving a post a bump or sending me a PM and tellling me to answer something - I try to answer everything.

I totally agree that the Preseed is the way to go. There's just a lot of bad info out there so people are led to believe higher pH is always the way to go for blue but all the theories that pH is even based on have been totally debunked. A lot of the other sites like to leave out the things that don't support their case and only present the studies that do, even tho a lot of those studies are decades old and have been totally disproven with better technology.

Great to know AS! Thank you!! No worries about responding...I have lots of time before my attempt lol...I will try bumping next time, if I can figure out how

Update - she did conceive a boy
