Hey Purplepoet, thank you so much for taking the time & the info,its great to hear all this. Wow, what a horrible experience you had with the lime, its great that you warn others. Do many still use Vinegar, Ive read online, quite a few ladies couldn't get pregnant using lime (maybe too strong a mix) DH & I combined with lime were 7.67ph. I was hoping to use lime ( being a natural product & acidic) but after seeing our combined ph we tried a Rephresh & aci mix which resulted in a 5.81phI sure think atomic is right about the buffers in Rephresh, I haven't tried Replens as quite a few ladies say they found it spiked which I experienced with Aci by itself. I wonder if thrush suffers tend to have more girls or boys or whether its much of a muchness. Do you have all boys Purple? Thanks again

People have a very hard time getting pg with BOTH vinegar and lime because it is highly acidic and kills sperm. Both X and Y sperm thrive in pH of 7 (regardless of what you read on any other site). The reason why low pH sways is not because X sperm "love" low pH, but because low pH kills sperm and fewer sperm = more girls conceived.

Since finding this site Atomic, I no longer read IG, this site is just wonderful & full of info that does make so much sense & great support that is much appreciated
please ladies feel free to let me know your thoughts on this... I thought of either using one of the following... lime & take zyrtech. Or instead... use a small amount of aci & rephresh mixed & take zyrtec ( I think your so right about the buffers Atomic & not having to worry about testing so you dont raise those T levels.The lime acidic thing I guess is ingrained after the time reading IG stuff, however I think there have been plenty on failed sways with lime ? Interesting, I just thought of something, my 1st dd was unplanned & Id been on sinutab for sinus ( this was many years ago I wonder if there was anything in it that dried up my cm?)
I'm not sure whether to use baby aspirin as well. I worry about using meds when conceiving. Thanks again ladies

I think you are on the right track, either do lime and Z or else to Acijel/RepHresh and Z.
There have been TONS of failed IG sways with lime, but of course swaying can never be 100% for any of us unfortunately.!!! Questions??Check out the NEW and improved Complete Index !!!

A BIG congrats on your wonderful news today Atomic
I wrote a comment on your thread. I hope your taking time to relax & things have got better for you & the family. Im sorry to hear what you've been through, it sure sounds like youve had many factors going on that have naturally helped sway towards getting your little
What wonderful news all round for your family.
Weve had a very stressful year as well thankfully things have somewhat improved over the past month. I sure hope it helps our sway. Thanks so much for taking the time to answer my questions with everything going on. Hearing about so many failed lime sways reassures me that we are making a good choice with rephresh & aci. I think its 1 tablet per day with Zyrtec? I notice many are taking baby aspirin does this have the same effect as zyrtec? I feel taking rephresh & aci will lower sperm with the buffers & acids but our combined ph with Aci & rephresh was 5.81 would this be too low Atomic? Is there any recommended time to use the gels, like 1 hour prior or 12 hours prior & should I use half a tube of rephresh with a small glob of aci, I dont want to overdo it, I notice each & everyone has different times & doses, some each day. I also read the article on Calcium. I take a calcium complete supplement, 2 tablets per day which provides 540mg Calcium, 500mg Magnesium & 800ug Boron, perhaps I should drop this & just stay on my folic acid till preggy.Sorry for all the questions, there just so much info Im trying to get my head around it all and make a choice

Thank you!!
1 a day with Z and make sure it's 6 hours minimum before your sway. Zyrtec takes some time to work.
Baby aspirin is for acidity and also may help a baby to implant in your uterus.
We honestly don't know what is best with jellies, so people try all different manner of things trying to figure out what works best for them. My usual suggestion is to use RepHresh the day before or no sooner than 12 hours before an attempt and then some people like to use a fingertip or dime-size Acijel/Sylk 1-2 hours before attempt.
I would have you drop the calcium supp, but that is of course your call to make. Regardless, 500 mg magnesium is way, WAY too much and you are going to make yourself sick taking that amount. No more than 200-300 mg magnesium at most.!!! Questions??Check out the NEW and improved Complete Index !!!

Thanks Atomic, it says on my Calcium container 1-4 per day, I thought by having 2, I was going easy lol.
Iv'e stopped taking them as of last nite, is it ok to take 1 fizzy Berocca B group vitamin per day, it has Aspartame in it. How often should I take baby aspirin, does it take long to Acidify your system. I got some Zyrtec todayWow its all feeling very real and close to ttcing now

If you like, you can always get a separate cal supp (I'm assuming your cal and mag are together in one pill!) Take one of the cal-mag, then an additional cal.
I personally do not advise B vites when swaying pink simply because of the idea that more nutrients = boys.
Start by taking the aspirin 2 or 3 days a week and see if you tolerate it well (no bleeding/bruising) and then you can gradually increase. It should start to help immediately.
Good luck!!!!!! Questions??Check out the NEW and improved Complete Index !!!

Thanks Atomic, yes my Calcium & magnesium are together in 1 pill, A Naturopath put me on them years back & said to always take Calcium with Magnesium so the calcium will be absorbed. Perhaps I will only take one & a plain calcium tablet with it (good idea thanks
I got low dose aspirin today (75mg) & took 1, will take another in 2 days
I'm still getting my head around everything lol I still have this nagging thought that if I have acidic ph & an ever so slight yeast infection that comes and goes around ovulation onwards... will drying my cm up lessen my chances of conceiving a girl? when I already had acidic cm that may help sway.We have mostly girls in my family & all woman in my family complain about an acidity issue, I guess that's where I get this thought ph is a high factor & what I read weeks ago on IG ( shame I hadn't found this site 1st so I hadn't had this lime & ph thing re-emphasized so much) Many thanks again
