hey guys, sorry to hijack your post;) wanted to clarify (maybe) about the abstinence... i remember T wrote that abstinence of 14+ days is best, actually the longer the better, she DID say that LOOOOONG abstinence's *can* cause sperm damage in very RARE circumstances, but she also said that you wouldn't get pg from the damaged sperm, so if you did damage the sperm from to long of an abstinence you...

LIS, so do i have to have a 4:1 ratio of cal/mag to correct it? like 1200mg cal and 300mg mag?

minervas mom: can you still use colorphast if you have low ionic strength due to the cal/mag imbalance?

oh and about the vitamins... i am taking cran, cal, mag, folic, vit C, sudafed, and baby aspirin. the sudafed will only be for the week of O and the baby aspirin i think will help to lower pH my only concern is how to wean. i think the vit c will really help to keep your pH low.

hey BD! i know how you feel. i am so happy that our sways are nearing;) however, sometimes i still feel like i should wait to try in June... not may because that is when i conceived my first DS... but i hate waiting until June because then that is only 4 months of trying before winter!! ugh... i really wish i didn't care so much about the seasons... and who says it will take me awhile, lots o...

maybe i will buy the walgreens ones... they are 2 capsules=10,080 fresh fruit. that way i can take one in AM and one in PM. i wonder if you can take TO much? is the 25.000 mg fresh fruit to much? you wouldn't think they would sell it if it were bad to take...

i am so excited to have started buying my supps! i bought the CVS super strength cranberry tabs, they are 500mg and one tab is equivalent to 25,000 mg fresh fruit!!! that is alot. i saw some of you ladies bought them so i thought they were the right ones. is this to much? i would only be able to take one tab a day then. when should i take it, morning or night? or should i buy one that is no...

i have long cycles (long-ER i guess i should say, not terribly long), they are around 33 days long and i have 2 boys. i also O'ed late both times when i got pg, around CD 17 with my first and CD 23 with my second. i think it is more diet/hormone related. you can find correlations with anything. they could also say "each women that had a short FP also liked to wear dresses" and we would all be ...

I FOUND MY CERVIX LAST NIGHT IN THE SHOWER!!! woo hoo! i thought i never would;) it felt strange, but rather firm, but the opening was rather "open"... is this normal for so early in my cycle? i usually don't O until CD 22 or so and i am only on CD 12. i have 2 children and have read somewhere i think that sometimes multiple births cause the cervix to stretch a bit and remain more open... i d...

congrats on the good O+12 miraclebeliever! sounds like you O'ed when you thought. i think some people get a bit of EWCM after O, or so i have noticed. my question to you: what scope do you use? i bought the maybe mom one that tamara recommends. i haven't actually used it yet. do you just swab your tongue or cheek and put it on the scope? i really need to look in to how to do it. also, do ...

is this the best one to get? i think sharper image makes it? i don't see anything about how much negative ions it puts out (i was reading about it on ebay and it just says it purifies air... shouldn't we look for one that does both purify AND put out negative ions?). i saw others by other brands (zen air was one i think) that said it put out 3 million per 3cm... is that good? maybe i will jus...

i guess so far i am the only one doing abstaining:) i got my two boys by freq bd every day or every other day through O so i am doing abstinence with O+12 or cutoff. if i can't get pg i will do freq PROTECTED bd with a cutoff so that there is still really only a one shot. if that doesn't work then i will just do freq every day bd with cutoff. i think you should try for opposite of what you did...

she said she didn't use the lime tampon because she didn't need to, her pH was low after BD and with the small 1ml lime douches. she said it can give you an opposite if you DON'T use the tampon if you need it (ie: if your pH is above a 5 four hours after BD, then you need to use the tampon for 4 hours). her sway is in the sway attempts forum. GL!!

you use it 4 hours after attempt and keep it in for 4 hours... before the tampon you should be checkign your pH every 30 min and using a small amount of lime douche if it is above a 5. if you are hardcore about your sway then i would use it if you don't have adverse reactions to it (YI). i am going to use it because i think whatever discomfort it brings is only temporary, and a DD is lifelong if...

yahoo! my baby is 4 months old and i just got my PPAF yesterday. that was what was holding me up in determining when to ttc this time. i got pg with baby #2 when baby #1 was 9 months, so i am not opposed to trying sooner rather than later (i like that age gap, although it IS hard sometimes...). my plan is to start in June, but now i am wondering if i should start in April??? it would mean i w...

tiffany- congrats on the pregnancy! what was your sway like? did you do all 7 factors? i think it works in alot of cases, but not for all. i think sometimes you just can't control gender. we can do all we can, but in the end, it is just not in our court to determine. i do however believe in alot of theories on here about diet, lifestyle, hormones... because all of the "boy" factors with thes...

mommaof2boys: how awesome, i have an owen also:) aren't they wonderful???!!! yeah- i got my boys from frequent BD through O, so i am a *little* scared of O+12 since it is so close to O, but i figure i will do TBM, douche, abstinence, O+12, diet, supps, and ions... what else can a girl do??? i am not going to put myself through SU, i think i would go nuts. so i am putting my faith in God and i...

i am not sure if you can take them together... but for prog cream you take it 2 DPO or so for 14 days, either until you get a BFP or AF. you stop it after 14 days (i don't think AF will come unless you do, which is why you have to be SURE you aren't pg because if you are, you want to stay on the cream for the first tri or wean off slowly so that there isn't a huge drop in prog. for your baby). a...

congrats! just curious... did you do the lime tampon until after you O'ed? did you monitor your pH around O? glad to see that the cutoff worked this time!

I plan on doing a TRUE O+12 also but not until next spring/summer. i will keep your link, although you all will hopefully be pg by then;) i am also using acijel and douching, are you guys doing all of that? are you using the diva (i am)? i plan on trying to use my CBEFM, digi OPKs, cheap OPKs, and *maybe* a saliva microscope but i can't decide if it is worth it. anyone have one? would you re...
