complete guide to swaying and yeast infections

[atomic sagebrush]

Yes I have read that info before as I had BV (the only time I"ve had it and the Rx for it is so horrible, Flagyl, this med was very hard on me) right when I conceived my last son. So NO I don't want BV at all, I was being sarcastic LOL because wouldn't you know, ttc atm is just about the most stressful thing and quite traumatic for various reasons and to add BV in ontop of it all is just another cherry on top of this wonderful process that I will have to take a break from at this point if this cycle did not work.

Really not sure what is going on down yonder with me, it does not seem like yeast or BV, I have no idea but something is not quite right, I am thinking it has something to do with what our attempt entailed

Gotcha! Sorry if I was dense there - people get some strange ideas when it comes to swaying and I can never tell how far people will take it.

FWIW I am deathly allergic to Flagyl! I hate that stuff.

Ok, this may seem a little extreme but I've been thinking about something. I'm prone to YI, I get 'em very often and really don't want to miss a month ttc because the diet is so unbearable, I don't want to extend my time on it. While DTD with my hubby would certainly be unbearable during an active infection, inserting a syringe filled with semen wouldn't be. Could I do that instead of BD'ing during ovulation if an infection is present? Plus, it would give me the chance to add a drop of lime to the semen before insertion. Thoughts?

You can def. use a syringe filled with semen for insemination if you can't DTD - "TBM". I personally would stay away from the lime, I think it's very harsh for the sperm and can make it take a very long time to get pg, "TBM" may sway pink anyway, and you can't use both RepHresh and lime because it may cause pH to spike. Here's a little how-to on the "turkey baster method" http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...r-swaying.html

Thanks Atomic! Nice to know it's an option if a YI stops me from enjoying some actual hanky panky.

When I was swaying I experimented with low sodium homemade breads and I could literally smell the yeast in my pee (sorry TMI) and sure enough, I got a YI the very next day! It really does make a difference.

Keep us posted so we can know what works for people!!

Hi Atomic,
I will give the yogurt a go, but I would be also intereted in your detailed sway info. Is it available please?

this is my successful sway http://genderdreaming.com/forum/add-...july-20-a.html

my unsuccessful sway was where I was trying out the low sodium bread and that is here (this is very long so clear your schedule if you want to read it LOL)http://genderdreaming.com/forum/scie...ypothesis.html I ate a crapload of sodium with my successful sway and limited it with my unsuccessful one.

I got a lovely chanukah present this morning. YI. Is it safe to take OTC stuf... I'm on CD23 so I have about 9-10 days left. I was thinking of taking it tonight. We would still have almost 4 weeks until next BD.

[atomic sagebrush]

Yes, that's fine!! I'm sorry, YI suck!!

[onebigwish]

first time i got pregnant with YI (without knowing it) and i had a ph over 7

[a&jmummy]

maybe a stupid question but have any girl mums had YI ?
seems to be all boy mums at the moment .

[atomic sagebrush]

Both pink and blue swayers and girl/boy moms get YI.

~IF~ boy moms get more YI than girl moms do, it would be because they tend to have more EWCM and EWCM can encourage yeast growth.
