Thanks sooo much for your rephresh post! Basically IG said that represh would raise your ph. Anyway, I had tried replens several times....first time I used a fingertip, it would lower it a little for a couple hours. Then I used a full applicator and it made my ph shoot up!!! Anyway, I have cheated the last few days diet wise.......I ate so much bad stuff my ph got up to a 5.6, well I used a tube of rephresh and it has been between 4.0-4.5 for the past few days!!!!! Another one of my friends is attempting right now, and its kept her PH down to 4.5, and she tried replens, acijel etc. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

OMG, I only have Replens at home and thought Replens was better at lowering pH than RepHresh (like you said, according to IG). Not that we are TTC'ing yet but I've been working with what I have at home left over from 2009 when we were full-on swaying & thought I'd try the Replens. Where did you find RepHresh? Is RepHresh better or is individual to the person?

Thanks!

I think you may have already spotted this on the "Complete Guide to Replens and RepHresh" thread but jsut for anyone else who stumbles upon this thread, RepHresh keeps reacting to lower pH for up to three days, whereas Replens starts off at a slightly lower pH but it doesn't keep reacting, so it can get diluted by CM and semen. Both products are designed to be around 4-5 pH. Plus RepHresh has the acetic acid and Replens doesn't.

While rephresh is keeping ph down, I was looking at IG attempts and it shows that not 1 boy was born using acijel....what do you think?

If I remember correctly there was one boy that I know of conceived using acijel. I can't remember her username on IG though, I think may have been M&M and it was within the last year or so. Does anybody remember this?

Yes crystal-light M&M did conceive a boy despite using Aci-jel. I was definitely going to use Aci-jel for my sway but now im undecided about RepHresh. I wish there wasnt as many different options available. Ha ha

I think that ANYTHING that lowers overall sperm count sways pink but at the same time, if your husband's sperm count is naturally high and you make a lot of CM, those things can counteract anything, even Acijel. There IS no magic bullet, I wish there was though!

I know, right?? I almost wish there was just one option for everything but of course in life, never seems to work that way!
