Hi - can anyone sum things up in a nutshell?

Hi girls,

 I accidentally posted in the wrong forum earlier and have been re-directed here. I have 2 beautiful boys aged 5 & 3 and we are about to ttc in the next couple of months and I'd like to attempt to sway towards a girl.

There is an absolute minefield of info here and I feel I have a very short window to put it into practice because I'm going to monitor my September cycle so I have an idea of ovulation etc and then go for it.

Can anybody put in real simpleton terms the supplements I need and ph levels and douches etc, its all so confusing.

Also what seems to be the preferred technique Shettles or O+12???

Any replies massively appreciated,

Many thanks, Claire xx 

 

 Have you already checked Tamara's e-book Trying to Conceive a Boy or a Girl?

If not, click on FAQ on this board (Gender Swaying) and there you'll find explanation of all 7 sway factors (diet-most important, have to be on it at least 6 weeks before attempt, vitamins, supplements, ions, timing,...)

If you are having troubles with abbreviations, click on the Help on the bar above (first thing is Forum, then Chat,Blogs.....last one is Help) and there you'll have it all explained!

I'm TTC a boy, but from threads I'm reading, I see many pink mommies think O+12 is better.

 

hey claire... ok so im fairley new aswell but im learning n felt the way u do in the beginning... i joined thinking i would just try the shetters method but have learnt it aint that ezi... ok so basically if you just have sep to trial with then id buy some ph testing strips n see what your cm n your partners sperm ph are. you want his rou 7 n your 4.3.... you should try to do the girl diet n dh.. start that as soon as possible... you can get this in the swayying forum... you both need to  take magnesium, calsium,cranberry pills..........but also drink cranberry juice every day...you can also take sudafed before the attemt as cm dries from this girls like creamy mucas while boys like the egg white mucas tmi i know sorry.... lol

now with which method they say O+12 is the best but im going to do a 2 day cut off n O+12... as it take me like a yr to get pregnant so dont want to risk....thats just me though,  but lots of girls r conceived at diff times as its the ph levels that count... now if you do a cut off you have to test ph before you bed n if its high douch to  get it low then make love... then u have to check ph every half hr as it may spike at ovulation time... so douch again.... you could do a lime tampon n leave it in for 4 hrs... so have i confused ya even more?

Thanks for your replies girls, I will check all that info out tonight when I'm at home (at work at the mo). One of my concerns is how the heck do I get douches and ph test strips without looking like a nutter in my chemist or do I openly tell them what I actually need it for? Also how do you test the ph of cm? Do you put a strip up there or collect some cm and test that....lol I'm such a newbie at this!

I am about to come on my period any day, normally I have a very faint sign only on wiping for a good couple of days before I start to be in full flow, in this case, what day would count as day one of my cycle? 

Lol, theres never tmi in my book! I never knew all this info existed, I'm totally gobsmacked.

Hi, I'm pretty new at this myself and went through most of these questions a week or so ago. What country are you in ? I'm living in Japan, I don't speak Japanese and I've managed to gather everything i needed. You can use the strips but they're a bit 'messy' and not so accurate ( in my opinion ). I'd suggest investing in a Hanna PH Pocket Meter ( you can look on FAQ & find a link to PH advice, it advises on strips to/not to use and the best PH meters) as you can insert this and check PH easily and as often as you desire ( it becomes addictive!). As for you day 1 - i'm not sure - if it were me, i'd take it from the first sign/ spotting - this month you'll only be recording your Cycle so take not of everything - sign up to fertilityfriend.com - they have some great tools for tracking and you can record every detail. I just did my 1st o+12 sway and messed it up. So i'm not only a person to contact if you want to know 'what to do' but i'm ya girl if you want to know 'what NOT to do' ;-). x
