SYLK and Gender

[Lassie1982]

I was also planning in using the sylk.
No idea about my PH, have never checked it.
I suppose i should test to make sure.
How do i check it? Just gets some strips and stick it up there? Or try and get some CM and put that on the strip?
(if this info is elsewhere, apologises, pls point me to it)
Where would i get the test sticks from? Chemists I assume?
Do i need to wait a certain amount of time after using sylk, or just check straight away and then a couple of hours afterwards?

Lassie - Honestly, if you haven't checked pH already, you don't need to. I think for many of us, getting too worked up over our pH only serves to raise testosterone and we've seen quite a few pH opposites anyway.

If you are doing RepHresh WITH Sylk, then there is no way you can have a pH spike, because RepHresh is designed to chemically react with everything it comes into contact with to lower pH. So even if your body does react badly to they Sylk and try to wash it away with CM, that CM with then chemically react with the RepHresh and the pH will be super low anyway. RepHresh + Sylk = no worries.

If you do decide you'd like to check pH just for fun, you have to order pH sticks from online, eBay has several sellers. You want a stick that goes from 4.5 thru 10 - I used urion brand (this was when I was doing a traditional sway on the other site) but anything works as long as it measures pH from 4.5-10. BTW - got a boy with pH 4.5!! :/

Thanks atomic, that's a relief! One less thing to add to the equation.
I was going to be using the rephresh AND the sylk so will stick to that.
Rephresh every third day from AF, with the last one being the day before BD, and the sylk for the BD - sound right?

perfect!

Hi Ladies, I was just going through the Failed Girl Sways, and I noticed that like 55% (6/11) of failed girl swayers used SYLK, whilst NONE of the successful girl swayers used it. (please correct me, if I'm wrong). I know that there are number of overall factors that determine the success of a sway, but I just wanted to put that statistic out there. Personally when I was experimenting with SYLK, it made by PH skyrocket from high 4's to high 6's. And Yes, many women have had many daughters whilst using SYLK. But my guess is that it can either increase/decrease PH, so please test, test, test before you decide to use it in your attempt.

Maybe the key is to use it in conjunction with RePhresh?

I used Sylk and I think it made my pH go from around 5 to 7. This was after using repHresh, too. This was around ovulation.

The first time I used Sylk, it also made my pH go up also. There was no repHresh involved and this was not around ovulation. I was just seeing what Sylk did.

I personally will not use it for swaying if I sway again, but that is because of how it reacted with my body.

There are a lot of other elements that go into the sways you were looking at, but if you feel uncomfortable with using Sylk, then don't use it. You can always practice with it, too. The practice is always fun.

Thank you for sharing this info! I do know of quite a few people who did conceive girls after using Sylk, just sharing so people are aware. The only way we could ever really know what jelly is best, is side by side studies with hundreds of couples who weren't swaying.

The ONLY reason I suggest Sylk over any other jellies, is because it's a good lube and many pink swayers desperately need a lube for BD. Plus, unlike Acijel, I know people have gotten pg easily while using Sylk. If you don't need a lube or don't feel comfy with Sylk, then don't use it! The only jelly I am really and truly sold on is RepHresh. The rest are all optional and TBH have just as much to do with the fact that I know that people like to use something right before BD because it makes them feel happier about their sway (psychological benefits) as anythign to do with swaying.

I do think that for many people, using Replens/Sylk/Acijel WITH RepHresh will help to counteract any rise in pH BUT I do know of a couple people who have had pH rise even with RepHresh. Remember tho, we aren't really even sure if pH has anything to do with swaying gender anyway! Sylk may sway pink regardless of what your pH does after you use it simply by making it harder for sperm to make it into the cervix or causing some to capacitate sooner...we really just don't know.

Brat did use anything else like replens or rephresh? How much aci-jel did you use and how often? My gut really still wants to use a little aci-jel an hour before my attempt, but I don't think I am going to use any sylk. I also will be doing the rephresh after AF every 3 days and 1/2 app 12 hours before.

I have read a little bit about Brat's sway and it sounds like it was a perfect IG sway. A lot of people have said they no longer believe in swaying because Brat's sway didn't work out!! So I am assuming she did not use RepHresh because they have the incorrect info about RepHresh on IG - the IG Faq claims a "reactive lube" raises your pH higher and higher, but it doesn't. A reactive lube is designed to react with the stuff it comes into contact with to raise OR lower the pH of the stuff itself to a certain level (rather than just blending with whatever it comes into contact with.). RepHresh is designed to bring the pH of everything it comes into contact with, to 4.5-5. If the pH is lower, it will raise it just a little (which is why it's not a good idea to do lime douche with RepHresh) and if pH is higher, then it will lower it.

I hope Brat sees this and chimes in!
