Iluvmman's TTC Boy Sway Plan for May 2011

[iluvmyman]

Thanks Atomic for talking to me about everything. You have a lot of threads and posts to look at and I don't know how you do it! I really really appreciate your help!! I'm so excited and nervous and you are really helping me keep it together and remain calm. God has really blessed me and others with finding this support no matter what the outcome.

Thanks Atomic. Yesterday I went to Trader Joe's and found organic free range chicken eggs and they tested at a 9.0 so I think that's good enough. Tested DH too and he was still at like a 7.8. and needs to be at a 9ish, right? He's been OK about taking his supps but not perfect and won't remember to take the FertileAid for men during the afternoon. I was reading that him taking Mucinex 1 hour before might help raise his PH. I'm going to test it out, but is there any other suggestions for men?

I would not lose any sleep over a pH of 7.8 for DH. That is high normal pH and sperm thrive in that pH. Do urge him to take the FertileAid, it will help his count and I personally think count is MUCH more important than sky high pH.

The Mucinex is a good idea and let us know if it helps to raise pH, I hadn't heard that.

Oh and thank you SO MUCH! Much appreciated.

Read that little tidbit about Mucinex on IG. I don't think I have time to do a test run for you since as of the morning we will be starting to abstain and hope to hit the 4-5 day mark. This would be soooooo much easier if I new exactly when I would ovulate. Darn you cycle! I wonder if we/I could post or ask a couple people to give it a shot and post the results?

[iluvmyman]

The Mucinex didn't seem to help my husband. I couldn't check him before but after the Mucinex his PH was 7.45, so I don't think it did much. BTW, I gave it to him about 1 hr. before testing him.

Thank you for updating on this. 7.45 is perfectly normal pH and I wouldn't worry about it at all. It may have had nothing at all to do with the Mucinex and more about something he had eaten or drunk earlier in the day - pH naturally fluctuates.

OK, this is dpo11 w/ a high quality prego test and I got a BFN. I'm calling it! AF should start Wednesday. Bummer!

That was a great sway! If it is a bfn this time, will you do the same next month?>

[atomic sagebrush]

Oh, boo! That's ok, days are getting longer, more Vitamin D to boost your testosterone!!!

I'll try but am already off on the diet. I think I might change some things. I want to re-read Atomic's sticky's re-adjust my thinking and fine tune my sway. Not sure what all that will entail yet.

Sorry to hear about your BFN. Fingers crossed for next month

BTW, great sway. When the time comes I am planning on a sway just like yours!
