TTC & Gender Swaying

[Cherished]

pick me, pick me! Thank Megs I'd love some more ph strips, I just bought some but have already used heaps, I think my POAS addiction from last I we ttc has now turned into a Cm ph testing addiction I'll pm you and I do hope you get your girl

leeloo I'd love to see if anyone else thinks drinking cranberry would work as the tablets are expensive I looked on Friday and thought holly molly I'll need to post to see if anyone has found some cheaper on line somewhere?

Ash thanks for the info hon, yep I have a needless syringe and will use it if it comes to that. I'm keen to hear how your dh is progressing next time you test (gosh that sounds so wrong saying that)

AFM well I'M ACIDIC!!! 4.5!!! I didn't see any change and thought I must have done something wrong so tested urine and saliva which both changed so yep I had done it right. Got loads of EWCM from right up at the cervix and I'm O'ing around about now, my OPK was almost positive yesterday so all looks good for me. Now just need to work dh's alkaline reading of 9.5 now. It's a bit of a relief really as I wasn't too keen on eating all the girl diet stuff but would have hooked right in if that's what it took. I know dh will take the tablets or eat whatever food I want him to so now I am feeling pretty good about things... argghhhh the roller coaster ride begins!

Fantastic Cherished1, I look out for you message and get them in the post this week. Will be glad to see them going to a good home. I know what you mean about a POAS addiction.

Good luck with your Gender Swaying also.

Awesome Cherished... let me know what your going to do to DH... mines up around 9.5 too and I'm on the low end 4.5 so at least we don't have to eat tooo differently!!! I'm still BF so haven't got a cycle back yet so I have absolultely no idea if and when I am ovulating... thats the next challenge!!

Hi leeloo- you only need to get your DH down to 7.5. I'm hoping it's not too hard because my DH is probably quite alkaline too. Stress is good for the blokes too apparently when ttc a girl. My DH keeps reminding me that he is doing his bit by being stressed at work!

Hi cherished! 4.5! Yay! I bought my cranberry tabs at a health food store - some generic brand. Can't remember the price. I decided on them instead of juice because I could only find juice with sugar. Has anyone seen cranberry juice without sugar? You only need to take the tabs from AF to O according to Tania's comprehensive post. So, that makes it cheaper than if you were having them every day of cycle.
This is going to sound wrong, but I tested after DH and I DTD, and our ummm let's say 'combined' Ph was 6.75. So we def need to get a more acidic environment happening. My goodness, I can't imagine discussing this topic with someone irl.
