Re: SU/MSU Buddy Group-November

 Thanks Rachel, hopeful, BabyB, Luv and AnnaBell!! I think I'm still in shock... I kept myself awake most of the night last night trying to remember whether I had eaten cereal too close to O time! [:P]  Hopeful, to answer ur question about my timing, I'm really wracking my brain trying to recall when we DTD but I can't for the life of me remember!!  Ahhhh!!!!  My husband i...

Re: SU/MSU Buddy Group-November

 Hey girls! Its been awhile... don't think I've posted since late summer.  My husband and I were trying to sway for a girl, then decided to take some time off.  Well....found out today that I'm pregnant!!!  I'm a week late and took two pregnancy tests that were absolutely, without a doubt postive.  I really am still soooo shocked.  I totally expected the test to be ne...

Re: SU/MSU Experimenters Buddy Group-August 2009

 Hey Luv~  As Rachel said, maybe u should take a break.  U might not want to make the decision to call it quits when u are feeling so drained by all the swaying.  Maybe if u take a few months off and re-evaluate, u may find that u still really want a dd.  If I were u I'd hold on to all your equipment and stuff and just put the swaying on hold indefinitely.  I know wha...

Re: SU/MSU Experimenters Buddy Group-August 2009

  Yeah, its the one that has a flat base for standing it up.  I have a 10 ml meter one (the smallest there is, I believe).  I bought it at an online store called Home Science Tools.  Good luck on your experiments! Check back and let us know how they go!

Re: Which digital ph tester?

 Here's the one I got:   http://www.easymeters.com/cart/product.php?productid=1735&cat=238&page=1 In my opinion, its a step up from the one in FAQs.  It seems more accurate and the numbers stabalize a lot more quickly.  I had that one in FAQs originally but it stopped working for me.  Easymeters is the company I bought my new one from.  HTH!!

Re: SU/MSU Experimenters Buddy Group-August 2009

 Hi there! This is the incubator I bought.  Did u get a graduated cylinder that has a base on the bottom so you can stand it up?  If so, what I did was to cut the wire cage bottom (just a slit about 2 1/2 inches) so that the base of the cylinder fit in there, creating the 45 degree angle and also helping to get the lid to fit.  Make sure u figure out the placement before u cut ...

Re: SU/MSU Experimenters Buddy Group-August 2009

Hey PD~ Well, about 2 hours after posting she came.  I'm not upset, partly cuz its my first month and partly because I feel like August would be a better month for us... our sway was just filled with mistakes (timing, too much lime, pH shot up, etc.).  I feel like I learned a lot during our attempt that I can use this month.  I hope the diva cup is the answer and you get your long-a...

Re: Totally New and really quite confused

 Most women including me use the bottles lime (the plastic lime-shaped bottle u can find in the produce section of the store).

Re: SU/MSU Experimenters Buddy Group-August 2009

 I posted two days ago that AF was coming but she still hasn't arrived.  I had what I woulda sworn were menstral cramps, they lasted about 12 hours, even waking me in the middle of the night, yet here I am two days later and nada. [:^)] But, I am having negative home pregnancy tests.  AF is usually very prompt, hasn't been late, even by a day, in a very long time.  I guess...

Re: SU/MSU Experimenters Buddy Group-August 2009

 Well, seems like AF is just around the corner for me... I've had cramps ALL afternoon and evening.  I'm really okay with it because I feel like our sway was pretty pitiful and if I were to have gotten a BFP I'd really feel like it was another boy. So I'm looking at this as a way to improve on my chances and learn from the things that went wrong with my first attempt.  Dh is dissapo...

 Sorry to hear your news Anna Bell.  I hope your BFP is just around the corner!

Re: Moon Question?

 Yes, I believe full moon continues until the first day of New Moon, then New moon goes until the first day of full. HTH!!

Re: Can't believe what happened!!!

 So sorry.  I had a pH meter fiasco last month too.  Mine just stopped working one day before my attempt.  I know how frustating it is when you've probably already been waiting long enough.  Right now, I'm sure a month seems like an eternity to u.  Its sounds like you nailed the timing too.  Bummer!!!

Re: What do you think of this? Tamara

 Mine arrived yesterday and I tried it out.  I'm not sure if we're supposed to use it as a lube only or do a fingertip application, like the replens.  So, I did the fingertip.  It didn't really do much to my pH either way.  It went from high 4s to really low 5s (around 5.15) about an 1-2 hours after application. So, I guess as a lube, it would be pretty good.   Just a...

 Holy Cow!!! Congtatulations!!! How exciting!!! I didn't know BFPs even showed up at 6 DPO!!! I hope that means u have a strong, hardy bean in there!!

Re: lime tampon before bd? or just after?

 In the FAQs, it says to useabout 12 ml. LIME DOUCHE hour before BD, a smaller amount (1-3ml)  5 mins. after BD.  U start checking every 1/2 hour after BD, if high do 1-3 ml more of lime douche.  You don't actually do the lime douche-soaked tampon until 4 hours after BD.  Hope this makes sense!  Good luck!!
