Does my sway stand a chance??

I agree with the PP - first of all, TAKE FOLIC ACID and secondly, you might want to drop RepHresh this month but keep Zyrtec and see how it goes.

Forgive my ignorance but what is SMEP??

I personally do not think you should use the cup. You'll be keeping maximum numbers of sperm at your cervix rather than doing a jump and dump and/or forcing them to swim through the VJ to reach the cervix.

A lot of the women who use soft cups and get girls are either having fertility problems to begin with (which sways pink) or using low pH things like lime juice in the cup. If anything, the cups sway BLUE by maximizing sperm count and keeping high pH semen near the cervix so the sperm has a nice safe haven to live in until it can make it into the cervix.

SMEP is the Sperm Meets the Egg Plan. I don't put much stock in timing and really just want a BFP and apparently SMEP helps from what I read. BD EOD starting CD8 then on CD 10 start doing OPK's. Once positive, BD that day and the next two days. Take one day off then BD one more time. I didn't think I'd be able to do it because my hubby can't usually BD several days in a row but he could!

The only swaying thing I did this month was diet (KILLER!), Sylk every BD, aspirin and pep tea. I have hardly any EWCM so no zyrtec this time. Praying this was the month! Next month I'll drop the Sylk. My DH says to just have fun and just see what happens. But I know too much about swaying and can't just act like I normally would! I'd be in TOTAL boy territory

Ahha! Yes, SMEP does def. help you conceive! I put no stock in timing either.

Good call on dropping Zyrtec! eveyrhting else looks great! KFX for you!!

Well it worked! I got by BFP today at 10 DPO. Hopefully it sticks. To tell you the truth, I swayed girl but would be just thrilled either way as long as it's healthy. To get the BFP this month I didn't do any jellies besides a little Sylk with each attempt because I wasn't getting preggp, the aspirin eod or every 3 days and ate pineapple core from 1dop - 5dpo which I read helps with implantation.
