That has to do with low ionic strength. I don't know much about it but it's probably in FAQ.
One poster with this problem said she changed the Calcium to Magnesium ratio and it fixed it for her. You may consider doing the same thing.
HTH!
So does it matter for DH too- about biorythms?

Lola,
You are sure you are using a basal body thermometer? If not, perhaps that may explain your cycles...
I sent you a pm.

There were a lot of questions here so let's all recap:
Take your temp when you first wake up / move / anything! If you lay in bed awake or half awake... your body temp will start to rise b/c of brain activity.
Taking temps vaginally is better b/c if you nod off you may open your mouth and ruin the temp/ or if you sleep with your mouth open occassionally it could also cause temps to be fun...

I think it's best to avoid anything in a can b/c of potassium levels. Read the labels too. Even though it is"lo-so" doesn't mean it's IG lo-so! It might say 100mg per serving - but one serving is only a third of a can and if you can eat the whole thing that's 300mg sodium and nearly 1/2way to your sodium limit for the day.
Someone else may give you an opinion too.

Lola,I looked at your chart, but it doesn't look like you've ov'd yet. You should get a temp spike. Also, If you take an OPK again you might find it is still +. Some ladies get more than one day of a +OPK... I don't stop until I get a neg so I know the surge is overGL hun... keep on checking!
Angie,Definitely read the FAQ b/c it seems you don't understand O+12 yet. That's ok- we all took a little...

Praying4aPrincess,
Let me just honor you by saying what an amazing women you are to have survived such great loss. I will be praying with you that you get your Sticky Pink Bean.
I have run into an article which says that sperm may become damaged when you abstain for a very long time. In fact, this is one reason why abstaining may favor girls since girl sperm are generally considered mo...

That's a very IF-Y sort of question and depends alot by person to person. Choosing to do a TRUE O+12 saves you from doing that kind of thing throughout your cycle, unlike with cut-offs. It's all about right before your attempt. Naturally, your pH will lower at O+12 and your cm will start to dry up. If you are using lots of those things leading up to ov then it's gonna make it impossible to ...

Tamara tells us it is the most important. If you are serious about swaying that's the one thing to give your all.
It's also the hardest. I was the diet nazi last time I swayed- which ended in mc.[W] This time I just can't bring myself to be as hardcore as I was last time. If I didn't loosen the reigns I wouldn't be able to do it at all.
Diet affects your ph, minerals, ions, and hormones- whic...

Make sure you don't take the sudafed until you've confirmed that you've got O+12! Also, generally you don't need sudafed if you're doing a TRUE O+12 b/c your cm would have already dried up. The girls who are using sudafed are doing cut-offs also and trying to keep their ewcm at bay while there are spermies inside them. If you want to take it- always just before your attempt. One dose will do you...

Hi Claire,
You want to only record the 1st reading, immediately upon waking. A BBT is very sensitive and you are probably getting different temps only for the simple reason that once you have woken, your body temp starts to rise to a normal degree.
If the temps were all over the show like: 36.57, 36.84, 36.21, 36.44- you get the idea, then yeah- something may be wrong- but I'd say things ar...

Hi HappyMorgan!
O+12 is great because 12 hours after ov your body naturally favors girl conceptions by lowering of the pH and decreasing y-friendly ewcm. Abstaining lowers sperm count and may possibly increase the ratio of x-sperm, according to some studies. But that subject is HIGHLY debatable!
Why don't you join us at the True O+12 Club thread @ http://www.in-gender.com/cs/forums/t/122755.aspx...

Have you adjusted FF to interpret your chart in a different way and did it change anything?
Your temps on day18-Oday according to FF and on day 19 are irregular temps becuase of your open dot. What happened? Is it possible that those temps are completely incorrect? If so, discard those temps on your enter data page.
Also are you sure you got DARK +opks as early as day 19? If you jumped the gun ...

Did you abstain before you BD'd yesterday? If so and you get preggo then you'll know that you did ovulate when you thought!! :)
But then again, if you don't get pg it proves nothing really. I find it odd though that you have the +OPKs and no rise after that- but the rise started before it.
You may change the way your FF interprets your chart by folling over Settings on the left side of your...

If you did ov when FF says you did I think it is extremely odd for you to have 3 +opks after ov.
Make sure to update your chart.

Wow, so the truth comes out! Maybe...
I wonder how many BD'd all the time but had girls.

Sorry my dear, I've not looked much into Extreme Gender Swaying. I've only really invested into the natural approach to the O+12 method. You may want to post in the EGS forum.

Hard to say from here, hun. Like we've said before- it's the cm shift to look for so you will have to make the call from what you see.
But I would like to suggest to make sure you are getting a good cm sample, since you had mentioned cm in your finger nail. TMI--Personally I can't ever get a good sample by doing the "finger-hook" like suggested in FAQ. I would almost always just get a bit of crea...

Article pasted from http://www.justmommies.com/getting-pregnant/boost-your-chances-getting-pregnant/daily-sex-improves-sperm-quality
There has been some debate over how frequently a couple should have sex when trying to conceive. It was once thought that abstaining from sex for a few days before ovulation helped build up a man’s sperm count, improving the chances of conceiving. Daily ...

Nope- if you ov'd last night your temp would be up this morning. I believe it takes about 2hrs after the egg breaks out for the progesterone to cause your BBT to elevate.
If you are only doing O+12 you might try an experiment and cut back on cranberry OR CL and see if you can see a clearer shift. Then add more cran or CL once you detect a shift. DO NOT cut back if you are doing a cut off too! (Ob...

When I used the lime tampon, I didn't have a plastic applicator. But the cardboard one swelled up and came off so I couldn't use it at all. I ended up just sqeezing out the excess lime mix (because it was dripping!), shaped the tampon back into a tube-shape and shoving the drenched tampon up in there. It worked fine. Still felt limey/acidic but it didn't hurt to put it in and it wasn't s...
