Lola when was your LMP date?Mine was 23rd Feb.and O date was 6th March.

I O'ed on March 9 (my LMP was 18 days before.....I O'ed late), so my EDD is Nov. 30, and that's from Fertility Friend, so accurate. You've got to be due on Nov. 27, right?

I hate the bsd. I did it religiously before I got preg in Aug '10 and as soon as I got the bfp I stopped and got the most excruciating heartburn that lasted till I miscarried at 13 wks. I started it again when I started swaying again and stopped it for a few days in the 2ww and oh the heartburn. I refuse to drink it now and quitting it hasn't affected my pH. I still get occasional heartburn, I've never had it before and hope it won't keep happening forever.
Anyway just be careful with it.

I dropped the BSD this time and just did ACV and ASG instead. I read Atomic's post about boy drinks, and agree with her, I don't think drinking loads of baking soda is a good thing for the body!

This is called "rebound acid-reflux". Your body got so used to the BSD (which is an antacid) that it started drastically increasing production of stomach acid to compensate. When you stopped the BSD your body didn't know that for awhile so it kept overproducing acid. The problem that arises is the sphincter between your stomach and your esophagus can actually get "burned" by heartburn and not function normally any more so it can make you more prone to future heartburn, so you have to let it heal and that takes time. Just eat smaller meals, don't eat and drink at the same time, and don't lay down after eating. Protein actually helps quite a bit which is good for blue!!

Exactly what I learned, I googled for hours trying to figure out what was up lol. Luckily the heartburn is rare now, maybe once a week, and so mild I don't even take a tums. Even if it guaranteed a boy I wouldn't do it again.
To clarify I was doing exactly what IG recommended, I never exceeded the maximum dose.
