last night my ph was solid 4.5....decided to try some replens as a test...I used a fingertip worth....about 45 min later my ph was probably about a 4....now this morning it is a solid 5. not too bad...but not loving the effect here....any thoughts? advice?
I will play with lime too as I'm still trying to perfect my sway for next month....

Yes, I will be doing a modified diet approach and 100% everywhere else....I did this 2 attempts ago and conceived a girl...I didn't even pay attention to salt or potassium or calcium....I just took supps. unfortunately I lost her at 37 weeks...so I'm back on the crazy train ;)
I typically do not eat salt (like at all or verryyy minimal) or sugar (like at all)....so these are go...

Hey you :) check the FAQ section...there is some info there. I have done a small amount every three days in the past (with dd)...I definitely would say I used less than a 1/4 of the applicator...like 1/2 inch or less??? something like that. I was told that if you use too much, it can have the opposite effect.
btw--did you ever get an answer to your Vit. D question??...

MB & d4d- thank you girls, it was definitely the hardest time of my life. I've had a m/c too, right after I had Lily, and my goodness did that throw me for a loop. I wish neither upon anyone. Luckily after my m/c I had a BEAUTIFUL AND HEALTHY baby boy :) and also MB thank you for all of that info :)
Now I just need to decide how comfortable I feel with bdi...

I O'd with both boys, did not O with my angel dd! the other day I checked my ph prior to....and it was 4.5....I then checked it after the big O....no insemination from dh....and my ph shot up to 6.0-6.5....imagine if DH's alkaline semen had been added!! That confirmed it for me. No big O if your prone to having boys and you want a girl ;)

Hi girls, hope its ok to join!
Miraclebeliever and Gothope--so sorry to both of you :( its insanely hard to gear yourself up, do all the work you're doing, have so much hope and then have it taken away from you. I've had two losses and the waiting part was sooo hard. praying your bodies get back to health soon and ready to ttc your baby girls!
So, I'm considering ...

thought I would chime in....I've swayed twice. the first time I got pg with a girl (but she was stillborn) so I tried again and got an opposite.
With my son I didn't do a full sway though....I did a lot of things "wrong" and I knew it at the time but as I had just gone through such a loss, I was very cautious and wanted truly a healthy baby first and foremost.
this time I wil...

when I was swaying with my angel dd, I was stressed to the max, as in crisis mode, b/c I found a lump in my abdomen and thought the worst...I was being tested and was a wreck....I conceived dd less than a week after I found out that everything was ok...but I can only imagine the residual effect of stress was still there....and I still, with lots of swaying, conceived a dd....hth :)

I'm due to ovulate within the next couple days..and as is typical my EWCM is increasing..I've been able to hold it off and keep it creamy until yesterday and today...the sudafed yesterday maybe worked for a short time but that was it...
and the hard thing is, everything seems dry...my eyes are sooooo dry and when I do cp checks, I don't have ew....its only after a bm that I'm noticing it.....

oh shoot :( I'll return the other one then....I've already been wearing the first one, so I'll continue to wear it. I think it looks just like it does online...I got the nude color. Its rubbery, kind of like a jelly bracelet but thicker, lol. hope that helps :)

I got two 7.5 bracelets, but they are loose around my wrist...does the bracelet need to be in constant contact with skin?? I can only get all of it to be in contact by pushing it further up my arm.....
