2006- Lowering men's pH of semen. Men who take Cranberry pills can lower their Ph.
http://ezinearticles.com/?Your-Semen---A--Diet--For-Better-Sperm-Taste&id=138648
DH’s pH does matter! But his pH when coming out of the body should not drop below a 7 (below a 7 and he will be shotting dead sperm). So you want his to be 7-7.5. Once semen is out of the body it can be lowered to a pH of 4-4.5.
Several animal studies from 1950s confirm that male pH actually matters a lot! “Weir began in 1953 a new series of experiments in which he developed two strains of mice, one with an average blood pH of 7.42 and the other with an average blood pH of 7.46. He found that the interbreeding of those mice with the blood pH of 7.42 altered the female/male sex ratio from 50:50 to 60:40 and the interbreeding of the mice with the blood pH of 7.46 altered the ratio to about 40:60. By cross breeding or reciprocal mating of different sexes of the two strains, he demonstrated that it was the blood pH of the male and not the female which determined the sex ratio of the young.” WEIR, J. A. 1953. Association of blood pH with sex ratio in mice. J. of Heredity 44:133-138. WEIR, J. A. 1955. Male influence on the sex ratio of offspring in high and low blood pH. J. of Heredity 46:277-283.

"High sperm count favors boys" "Low sperm count favors girls"
After much research I have found studies that say high testosterone favors high sperm count, and high testosterone favors male offspring, therefore high sperm count favors male offspring.

Theory: High sperm count favors boys and low sperm count favors girls. For dh under 48 hours of abstance or over 7 days is low sperm count and over 48 hour to 6 days (with day 4 being the highest) is high sperm count

2006- Want a girl? Then go on a diet and lose some weight.
[ 23 Jun, 2006 1331hrs IST IANS ]
WELLINGTON: Want to have a baby boy? Tuck into the burgers, fries and ice cream. Want a girl? Then go on a diet and lose some weight. It works for cows, according to John Roche, a scientist at New Zealand's dairy research organisation Dexcel. "And we would expect what holds true for one mammal will hold true across the board," he said. Dexcel and Ireland's Teagasc agricultural organisation studied 1,200 cows in an 18-year research project from 1986 to 2004. They found that cows that gained weight before conceiving were more likely to give birth to bull calves. Those shedding kilos before conception had a better chance of producing heifers (females).
Roche told the Waikato Times , published in Hamilton at the heart of New Zealand dairying country, the research underlined the theory that humans had some control over the sex of their children. "Many theories have been put forward," he said, citing weather patterns, phases of the moon, bathing rituals and the timing of intercourse. "However, there has been little consistent scientific evidence till now."
Roche said it was not clear exactly why weight affected the sex of a cow's offspring. Although the male determined the sex of the embryo at conception, the female had some control over whether to keep a male or a female one. "It's an evolutionary adaptation," he said. "In the wild, males compete with each other for a partner and the bigger male has a distinct advantage. "Female size is not as crucial. Therefore, any particular maternal characteristic that results in a larger offspring is likely to produce more males. "If anything reduces the size of the offspring at birth, it is a disadvantage to the individual to be born male - therefore, there is a greater probability of it being female." Roche said a cow losing weight before conception may have some mechanism that prompted it to reject a male embryo because it was not up to supporting the development of a bull calf.

Trying to conceive a girl? Read this!
The only thing that is 100% is PGD but we feel swaying can change the odds into our favor. Here you will find a lot of the information that is key for a good swaying attempt. It is up to you to find the right ‘recipe’ or ‘path’ that will be your attempt for a girl. There are many things you can do to sway the odds and here is the information that we hope will be helpful to you. The basic idea is that x sperm love a low pH from 4-4.5. When exposed to this pH
they will thrive. Also x sperm love calcium. Sperm count is lowest when if you bd every day (or ever other day) or if it dh abstains longer than 7 days (low sperm count favors x sperm.) Finally, although timing isn’t a proved theory, it is best to time bd 3 days from O if possible or 12 hours after O because this is when cm pH is the lowest. Ok here is the rest of the info:
Link to the studies that support these theory
There are 7 Factors that make up swaying: pH, ions, minerals, diet, hormones, supplments and timeing. You can't just count on one to work. If you only do timeing that is only 1/7th of a sway. Here is more info: 7 factors
“GIRL DIET”
Lots of calcium (milk, yogurt, etc.)
Low salt intake
No caffeine
For the GIRL diet the ranges are:
(salt) Na++ 700-1000 mg
(Potassium) K+ 2,500-3,500 mg
(calcium) Ca 1,200-1,800 mg
(Magnesium) Mg 200-300 mg
Girl cook book:
http://www.in-gender.com/cs/forums/t/49300.aspx
Tier One (to be eaten when ever you want)
(Girl diet, acidifying diet, mineral diet and progesterone diet)
Read your labels. And watch your sodium and potassium in foods!
yogurt- Greek style or organic only (read labels and look for yogurts containing NO potassium)
Kefir
Milk- t (nomral milk has 350mg of potassium and organic has about 250mg of potassium. some brands of UHT milk has O mg)
tahini (sesame seed paste)- look for low salt
Strawberries and Raspberries (look for frozen, unsweetened or canned in syrup although fresh will do)
Sugar free gum (not with truvia or stevia in it)
Tier Two (eat as much as you want as long as you watch minerals and stay within range)
(Girl diet & Mineral Diet)
Parmesan cheese (3 tbs max a day)
Propel fitness water with calcium
eggs (Egg Beaters are best)
cottage cheese- read labels for sodium
low salt bread
pasta- look for calcium fortified pasta
fish (poached in 500 ml of water to reduce sodium)
leeks
green beans
cucumbers
low sodium mayonnaise
Tier Three (eat once a day)
(Girl diet and Acidifying diet)
Cranberries- dried or raw (NOT Craisens)
white rice
corn cereal or puffed rice
lamb- loin or chop
chicken- breast
(up to 130g of meat per day- no red meat= testosterone)
Tier Four (not to be eaten the week of o, other wise once a week max)
(Diets in order of importance)
The Mineral Diet http://www.healthyeatingclub.com/info/books-phds/books/foodfacts/html/data/data5c.html
http://www.vaughns-1-pagers.com/food/magnesium-foods.htm
The Acidifying Diet
http://alkaline-alkaline.com/ph_food_chart.html
The Progestrone Diet
http://infertility.health-info.org/fertility-diet-lifestyle/diet-estrogen-progesterone.html
List of forbidden foods:
ALL FOODS THAT ARE NOT ON THIS LIST ARE FORBIDDEN!!!!! ESPECIALLY ALCOHOL AS IT RAISES ESTROGEN.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other:
Make sure to think about mouth wash and tooth pasts as well as other things you may place in your mouth. Always try to find low to no sodium products
Drinks:
Drink suggestions: Milk, Cranberry, Diet Cool-aid, Aquafina, Dasania (Aquafina and Dasania both are made with reverse osmoses which naturally lowers the pH of water to about a 5-6) and Cranberry Juice.
Aspartame
One of the fastest ways to lower pH that has been discovered is with fake sugars. The best lowest acidic one is Aspartame. It does have some side effects. Some people are allergic to it so they can’t drink it. Others it may cause a headache.. this means to cut back. You can find Aspartame at Walmart in there drink mixed called Great Value sugar free. This has been found to be the best drink mix because it lowers pH the best. If you can not find this then others have found that crystal lite works for them. You should try to drink 66-100 oz of this drink mix every day.
Cranberry Juice
Most of your Cranberry will be taken in pill form. However you can drink the juice as well. You can only drink either pure cranberry juice or it mixed with some other berry.
peppermint tea
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is another drink. In the past we thought peppermint tea would lower testosterone, lower or stabilize estrogen and raise progesterone. Newest studies studies suggest that it may raise estrogen or stabilize. Because the effect to estrogen isn't unknown at this time; We now recommend Saw Palmetto to raise progesterone and lower estrogen and testosterone (see below). But this is gentler; so if you want to use this instead of SP you take 3 cups a day. This is the only tea you can drink for ttc a girl.
When to have sex:
O + 12
This has better success than cut off. Abstain from sex for 7 days or more, and then have sex 12 or so hours after you ovulate. Obviously, you have to pinpoint your ovulation exactly for this: http://www.in-gender.com/cs/forums/t/37676.aspx
Shettles Method
Have sex least 2-3 days before Ovulating. Then keep your pH low till O.
Most important info!!!
First off, diet is the most imortant sway factor. But no matter if o+12 or cut off (shettles) you need to do this! Hour before your attempt check your cm pH. It needs to be 4-4.5. If not then either douche or use rephresh or replens to lower pH. If you are not doing TBM then you may insert 1-3 ml of lime douche 5 minutes or so after bd. Then 1/2 hour after attempt you need to check pH again. If it is high you need to lower it back down to 4-4.5. Check your pH every 1/2 hour up to 4 hours. Then place in a lime doushe tampon.. and leave in for 4 or more hours. The first 4 hours are critical because it takes 4 hours for x sperm to get to the waiting zone. With cut off you need to keep your pH 4-4.5 till confirmed O so check often!
.
Moon theory
Girl- conceived in the “new moon” phase
Boy- conceived in the “full moon” phase
Seasons
Positive ions favor boys Negative ions favor girls Spring has slightly more - than + Summer has more - than + Fall has slightly more + than - Winter has more + than =
Full moon (from the day moon is full till day before new moon) has more + New moon (from the day moon is new till day before full moon) has more -
So if you ttc in winter on a full moon this strongly favors boys. Summer in new moon- strong girl. Spring in full moon is more neural
*note about seasons. If you are south of the Equator (like in Au) the seasons ions aren’t the same. Therefore only the temps will affect you, not the seasons, unless there is a solar flare.
**Special note on Solar flares. Solar flares are bursts of positive ions from the sun that hit the earth and cause the Northern lights. They last about 1-2 days but sway heavily for boy. There is a 12 year solar cycle where at the start of the cycle solar flares are rare and at the end of the cycle they are very common. This cycle can account for the spikes of certain genders in different years. Here is a link to a 3 day solar flare predictor http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/rt_plots/kp_3d.html Green means no solar flares, red means big solar flares. Yellow is small solar flares. NOT EVERYONE IS AFFECTED BY IONS IN THIS WAY! You know if you are by your pH. High pH favors boys and indicate egg is in polarity for y sperm. Low pH favors girls and indicates egg is in polarity for x sperm
Extra’s
No female orgasm
Missionary position for sex
Husband take HOT bath or shower a few minutes before sex (or have a heating pad heat up his “buddies”)
“Jump and Dump”- go to bathroom and “dump” everything right after sex (not for TBM) See this.
Abstinence over 7 days is best or under 48 hours.. not between 2-6 days as this favors boys
Dh wear “tighty whities”
The supplements-->-->
Supplements are to decrease cervical mucus pH. Studies show that low pH favors girl conceptions. The goal of the girl diet is to increase calcium and magnesium in the cm and to change pH; the goal of supplements is to change pH and make creamy CM. Here are all the supplements that I have heard of for ttc a girl. Granted there may be more. They key here is for you to find the right 'recipe' to make low pH with creamy cm with calicum mixed in- this is the goal. Remember.. it is better to take supplements in liquid form if you can find that because it is more easily absorbed by the body
SUPPLEMENTS
* Supplements amounts listed here are the maximum amount for dw and dh. This isn't based on weight but more so on safety.
Calcium citrate (1200 mg combined with diet every day) take from af to af (can stop at O if you want to save money) calcium in the cm helps to sway for a girl (to prevent low ionic strength cal and Mag ratio has to be 2 to 1. If you have a digital pH tester don't worry about this) (not calcium carbonate)
Magnesium (300 a day combined with diet!)take from af to af (can stop at O if you want to save money) Mag. in the cm helps to sway for a girl
Folic Acid (450 mcg a day)** you can take more of this if needed and be safe!! Take all the time THIS DOES NOT SWAY! IT PREVENTS BIRTHDEFECTS AND PREVENTS MC
Acidilophis (2 a day) take from af to af (can stop at O to save money) This is taken to lower pH. side effects: this is a funny supplment. Either it will lower your pH dramaticaly or you will raise it. It is different for different people
B6 (100 mg a day) If taken before O it may delay O. But for those that it doesnt delay o, take all the time, but when you get a bfp you need to ween off slowly- if you take 100 this means the next week you take 80, then the next week 60 then 40, 20, 10 then stop. This is taken to raise progestrone and legthen luteal phase. Side efffects: When taken before O it may dealy O. It will also legthen your luteal phase
Chasteberry (Vitex) (500 mg a day) this is to regulate cycles- do not take if you have regural cycles. Please read this: http://www.in-gender.com/cs/forums/t/50960.aspx
Cranberry (total of 1,500 to 10,000 mg fresh fruit equivalent a day if possible. This is based on equal to fresh fruit equivalent.. not amount on bottle. This part can be tricky. So, 10,000 ml equivalent to fresh fruit) take from af to O (stop at O) this is taken to lower pH side effect: cranberry can not be taken after O as it can cause mc. Cranberry is a blood thinner so if you already taking a blood thinner do not take this.
Lydia Pinkham (take from af to O) this is taken to raise progestrone and regulate cycles side effect: This will either make your cycles regular or screw them up
Vitamen C- 500 mg -af to af (can stop at O to save money) in pill forum this makes you more acidic. (to much can cause gas and diarrhea)
Saw Palmetto standardized -320mg a day (thats one pill a day)- Make sure to buy the standardized kind. Take from AF to O.. not to be taken in the 2ww or with pg! This lowers testrone, lowers estrogen and rasies progesterone. Do not take this with Clomid. There are some warnings so please read the warning sticky. For more info please read this
Before sex
Sudafed (not pe) real drug name is: pseudoephedrine: (a few hours before sex) this is taken to lower pH and dry up cm
Husband take
licorice root 450mg 3 times a day- lowers testosterone and raises estrogen (this is good for dh not for dw). Only have him take from your af to O. He needs the 2ww for a break. Can only take for up to 6 months then he needs a 2 week break (have him follow this 2 week break after the 2ww break so he will total a 4 week break). There are some risks. Read this
Calcium citrate (1200 mg a day) can take from your af to af (or stop at your o to save money) calcium lowers pH in dh and helps x sperm
Magnesium (300 a day combined with diet!) can take from your af to af (or stop at your o to save money)
Acidilophis (2 a day) take from af to OThis is taken to lower pH. side effects: this is a funny supplment. Either it will lower your pH dramaticaly or you will raise it. It is different for different people
Cranberry (total of 1,500 to 10,000 mg a day if possible. This is based on equal to fresh fruit equivalent.. not amount on bottle. This part can be tricky. So, 10,000 ml equivalent to fresh fruit) take from af to O can take from your af to af (or stop at your o to save money) this is taken to lower pH side effect: blood thinner.. see above
Other supplments:
For prevention of mc these supplements can be taken by the dw.
Vitamin E-400 iui - this strengthens the outer shell of the egg and helps with implantation - Warning - Vitamin E can increase EWCM production for some people.
Folic acid- 800-1000mcg this strengthens the inners part of the egg-->-->
Vitamin B12-150mcg makes folic acid work better (b6 also lengths luteal phase, if you take b6 and get a bfp don't stop suddenly, rather decrease it slowly)-->-->
Zinc -50mg- this repairs any of the egg that may have been damaged and also helps with implantation. Often I will get confused and say dw can not take zinc. If I post this; it is wrong.. Only dh taking zinc favors boys.-->-->
Baby aspirin- 81mg- one a day. This helps with implantation and helps to maintain a pregnancy. It thins the blood
The hardest part is trying to decide what to take.
Optimal pH of cm should be
4-4.5
Optimal pH of dh semen should be
7-7.5 (you can lower this to 4-4.5 with lime once it is outside of dh)
Other tips:-->-->
So is Hot showers for dh and dw (lowers sperm count and lowers pH). Some people are using refresh/replens finger to lower cm pH. They are also useing acidjel (has the best acids in it), vinegar douche (if it doesn't raise your pH), or lime douche. This is all based on an environment theory that an acidc one produces girls.. Also Oing will raise female pH so avoid this .For ttc a girl you should use the following products because they have been found to lower female testosterone (which favors boys) Nail polish remove, Nail polish, and anything with Aerosols.
For dh he needs to wear tight fighting underwear. He also should try to get on the girl diet and he needs to lower his semen pH to a 7-7.5. He must try to gain weight as this for dh sways girl. While you must try to lose weight. He can lower pH with cranberry supplements. His pH can be changed quickly with these- he should take as much needed the day before bd to achieve low pH . Finally, sperm count is highest in the morning so try to time bd at night. New info suggest that you want low blood sugar in the mornign when ttc a girl. So avoid carbs in the morning. Also cardio sways girl while weights sway boys. You should avoid eating till noon, whild dh may have breakfast. Finally, warm things sway girl and cold things boy (effects pH and ions)
The Moon-->-->
There is no doubt that the moon can sometimes have and effect on gender if ones body responds to it. Here is the scientific reason behind why this might be and how you can alter that effect if you need to. The theory is that a different sperm have different ions. Now when there is a full moon out it is scientific fact that there are positive ions in the air and we breathe it. When there is a new moon out there are negative ions in the air and you inhaling that as well. The theory is that some peoples bodies react to these ions just like nature does (Google crops and moon, or fish and moon). So when there is a full moon those positive ions cause your egg to have positive ions thus attracting the y sperm. Now if you are O’ing in a full moon you need to try to counteract the effects of the Postive ions. You can do this with running water, air purifires, rock salt deionizers to counteract the effects of a full moon or use magnate therapy using negative ions- polar north, and avoid computers or at least have a fan blowing on you while you are on a computer.

-Info on pH strips and retrieving cm-->-->
Digital pH testers are the best for testing pH. For more info see here: http://www.in-gender.com/cs/forums/t/57805.aspx Then there are two pH strips you want to look for (if not buying digital). Alkalive (also called pHion) and full range (also called universal). These are found the cheapest on ebay (search pH strips then select lowest to highest price.) Alkalive can measure between numbers like a 4.75 but can be hard to read so you need a back up. The full range strips will only read one number- no between but they are very easy to read. To see my review of pH strips go here: http://www.in-gender.com/CS/forums/thread/34059.aspx-->--> . More info about digtital pH testers: http://www.in-gender.com/cs/forums/p/41714/383906.aspx#383906
CM pH test strips are read in 15-20 minutes (but don't read it dry)
Semen pH test strips are read in 1 minute. The reason for the difference is water content.
Digital pH tester the pH is read right away- no waiting
How to retrieve cm….TMI!!! You reach up inside your V and with your finger you touch the cervix. Then you hook your finger and pull out. The cm on the tip of your finger is the one you want to test. The cm closest to your cervix is the most alkaline and the cm on the edges of your v is acidic. Wipe this on the pH strip (or on the digital pH tester wand) and wait for up to 10 minutes (no waiting for digital) depending on how much water is in your cm. If your pH strip doesn’t change and you have tried several times to test pH; this means you have low ionic strength in your cm (which means you NEED a digtal pH tester). Urion pH only tells you how you are doing with your diet and supplements that day- it does not help with swaying besides that.
To test dh pH you have him give a sample in a cup or a condom. Then test that sample with pH strips right away (the longer semen sits out the higher the pH goes and you want to know his initial pH).
*helpful tip: If you can not retrieve cm to test pH in this manner get a instead cup or diva cup. Place it in vj for 30 minute-hour. This will fill up with fresh cm that you can test easily
The Diva cup:
The Diva cup will increases your chances of becoming pregnant. And it will not effect pH. But here is the tricky part. Every 1/2 hour after attempt you need to remove the cup and test the pH inside your vj and in the cup and lower if necessary. Then place the up back in. You do this up to 4 hour then take the cup out and put in a lime tampon. http://www.in-gender.com/cs/forums/t/50695.aspx

Douche
*Douche needs to be body temp or you may kill sperm.
-->-->
To help conceive a baby girl use an acidic Douche -->-->
There are 3 douches you can choose from. 7% vinegar/calcium, lime douche and store bought vinegar douche. 7%is most effecteve due to the acetyl radical and acetic acid then after that is lime and last is store bought. Please note: 7% Vinegar has been known to raise the pH in some women instead of lowering it. So please test this out before your attempt. Lime has not had this problem. The following is an explaion of why it is better and how to make it.
7% vinegar/calcium: (pH of 4)
7% vinegar/cal works for TBM is because of 3 reasons: The first is Because the y sperm at low pH's tails freeze (they don't like low pH), the second is because at that low pH calcium binding to sperm occurs and the Third is because of acetyl radical and acetic acid . These chemicals play a big part in girl conceptions. Now onto the new step. When you TBM you freeze the tails of the y sperm to give the x sperm a chance to head up. But according to the study, douching an hour before is Critical for this to work. 1/2 hour the freezing stops and the y sperm start to swim again.
Douching an hour before is Critical for this to work. AT 5 mintues after bd (or 30 mintues after tbm), ake your pH reading. If it is to high then take the douche and insert 1-3 ml into the vJ to lower the pH to 4-4.5 You then check Keep checking this every 30 mintutes for up to 4 hours; then take a lime douche soaked tampon and place it in there to prevent leakage- you can remove this 4 hours later. The following is explanation on how to make the mix, the tampon, and other info. DO NOT USE THIS FOR PLACING DIRECTLY INTO SPERM (TBM). Only lime juice (not the douche) can be used to lower semen pH directly.
*For the mix you want this to have a pH of 4 The study this is based on uses vinegar.
Here (this link will tell you how to make distilled water)
How to make 7% vinegar:
This can made in an hour. It is easier to make the 7% by freezing than with boiling.. Here is what to do..Put 5% vinegar in freezer. Watch for when a forms a layer of ice on the top. Then remove that ice (skim it). Do this 4-5 times and the % will be right. Then take it out. it is now 7%. The day of your attempt add the calcium power (or pill if you cant find power) and let it dissolve for one hour. pH should be 4 after you add the calcium. Add 3-4 drops of distiled water (to activate it) and then it is ready to be used
Lime douche: (pH of 2)
•Mix lime with distilled water - test pH. If it isn't low enough mix more.
•Let the solution stand for approximately 10 minutes. -->-->
•One hour before intercourse stir the solution again then insert some of the solution into the vagina (This can be done with a douche or a syringe ~ both available at pharmacies). -->-->
•While inserted, empty the douche or syringe slowly and gently preferably while lying down to ensure maximum effect. -->-->
DOUCHING
An hour before sex
7% Vinegar/calcium and some drops of distilled waterwater (pH of 4)
Lime and water (pH of 2)
Replens or Rephresh vaginal moisturizer (every three days or every other dayonly and only a fingertip full- not the entire applicator!) You can also use this in place of douche 2 hours before attatmp (but not the entire applicator)
How to douche: The hour before you can either use a store bought douche bag or a big syringe (12+ml). Let is run out and wash away ewcm. The 1/2 hour after follow up douches is only 1-3ml. This follow up douches are ment to just lower pH. You do not need to douche an hour before if you have a pH of 4-4.5 and no ewcm.
Lime douche Tampon
*To make a lime douche tampon you place lime douche in a plastic cup and soak the tampon while still in the plastic applicator. Right before inserting take the tampon out so that it isn’t dripping. Then you insert it while while making sure you dont let any sperm out and leave it in for 4 hours. This is to be done after every attempt. If you are doing a cut off (I would rather you do o+12 but anyway..) you need to check your pH every hour till O. This can be tricky at night, so be careful. You dont need to put a lot in, just enough to keep pH low. Always always always make sure your hand are clean. Also remember with tampons you run the risk of TSS
No matter what your plan.. 1/2 hour after BD you should insert follow up douche into your vj and don't let it out This isn't a douche- but rather a mix you insert to freeze the y sperm and to give the x sperm a better chance. Then keep cheking every 1/2 hour up to 4 hours. If you are not doing TBM then you should check your pH 5 mintues after bd and do a lowering douche (1-3ml) if needed. Then keep checking every 30 minutes up to 4 hours. To check the pH after attempt you only check the combined pH at the entrance; not deep inside. But if you have to lower your pH you do need to put it up in there carefully.
Refresh and Replens
Replens: pH 2.8
Rephresh: pH 4-5
Replens is now used for replens finger. Rephresh is used as a lube.. HOWEVER if your pH is already a pH less than 5 do not use replens, you can use rephresh as a lube when bd as it has the right actic acids for ttc a girl. rephresh has a pH of 5 you want the pH to be 4-4.5. The higher your pH the higher the pH of rephresh will be as it is a reactive lube. where as replens is always a pH of 2 point somthing PLEASE TRY THIS AHEAD OF TIME TO SEE HOW IT EFFECTS YOUR pH!! For some women they will raise pH. For the 1/2 hour after attempt if you want to lower pH with with this you need to use rephresh; not replens.
*If you use Aci-jel, then use it just like replens. Fine more info here. If aci-jel is sold out you may try acid jelly
Replens finger. This is for women who want to lower pH the days before bd time.. Every other day bd make sure your hands are clean and then you dip your finger in replens or refresh. Then, sit down on the toilet and insert your finger with refresh and pull out. If tested right away your cm should go from high to low (7 to 4-4.5) and stay that way for a long time. . You woud use this every other day to lower your pH.
LUBE
If you need lube ttc a girl you have two choices. Either Rephresh (please read above) or canola oil. Lubes do not sway well for a girl on there own. You need to do everything else as well. Lube is just to help you bd.
Canola oil has a pH of 6.83 but it is an oil can can not sway. You can use canola oil right before your attempt to help you to get pregnant however some women's pH will raise become of this. So you NEED to check pH every 1/2 hour up to 4 hours and lower if necessary.
Past theory's:
I thought I should add past theory's that have worked for some people. In 2004 women were trying the condom theory. With this theory they used a spermicide condom and poked a hole in the condom. They then bd to ttc a girl. This method worked well but everyone that did it moved on with their lives so it droped off. The second theory was done in 2005 and that was the spermicide method. The theory was if spermicide were to fail it would sway for girl. However everyone droped it when no one got pregnant.
Bd every day verses abstaining for over 7 days
Here is the thing. First off do the opposite of what ever you did to get your boys. Did you bd every day? then abstain, did you abstain for over 7 days? then release every day or every other day. Second, only try abstaining of 7 days or more for about 6-12 months. Then if you are not pg get a microscope and check to make sure you dh sperm are alive. A small number (3%) of men can not abstain because there sperm all die. Or if you don't want to use a scope, just switch to bd every day or every other day if you just want to get pg.
Do I think abstaining is the best between the 2? YUP! However, for those 3% who it can't work for I want to make sure they aren't waisting there attempts. If it was up to me I would have everyone who was going to abstain have them check there dh semen the first time they abstain to make sure none of their attempts are waisted.
Finally there is a Forum called ‘Extreme gender swaying'which takes swaying a step further into ‘at home sperm sorting using TBM, Swim Up, or GDC. It can all be found here:
http://www.in-gender.com/cs/forums/296.aspx
and here:
http://www.in-gender.com/cs/forums/93.aspx
they will thrive. Also x sperm love calcium. Sperm count is lowest when if you bd every day (or ever other day) or if it dh abstains longer than 7 days (low sperm count favors x sperm.) Finally, although timing isn’t a proved theory, it is best to time bd 3 days from O if possible or 12 hours after O because this is when cm pH is the lowest. Ok here is the rest of the info:
Link to the studies that support these theory
There are 7 Factors that make up swaying: pH, ions, minerals, diet, hormones, supplments and timeing. You can't just count on one to work. If you only do timeing that is only 1/7th of a sway. Here is more info: 7 factors
“GIRL DIET”
Lots of calcium (milk, yogurt, etc.)
Low salt intake
No caffeine
For the GIRL diet the ranges are:
(salt) Na++ 700-1000 mg
(Potassium) K+ 2,500-3,500 mg
(calcium) Ca 1,200-1,800 mg
(Magnesium) Mg 200-300 mg

List of forbidden foods:
ALL FOODS THAT ARE NOT ON THIS LIST ARE FORBIDDEN!!!!! ESPECIALLY ALCOHOL AS IT RAISES ESTROGEN.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other:
Make sure to think about mouth wash and tooth pasts as well as other things you may place in your mouth. Always try to find low to no sodium products
Drinks:
Drink suggestions: Milk, Cranberry, Diet Cool-aid, Aquafina, Dasania (Aquafina and Dasania both are made with reverse osmoses which naturally lowers the pH of water to about a 5-6) and Cranberry Juice.
Aspartame
One of the fastest ways to lower pH that has been discovered is with fake sugars. The best lowest acidic one is Aspartame. It does have some side effects. Some people are allergic to it so they can’t drink it. Others it may cause a headache.. this means to cut back. You can find Aspartame at Walmart in there drink mixed called Great Value sugar free. This has been found to be the best drink mix because it lowers pH the best. If you can not find this then others have found that crystal lite works for them. You should try to drink 66-100 oz of this drink mix every day.
Cranberry Juice
Most of your Cranberry will be taken in pill form. However you can drink the juice as well. You can only drink either pure cranberry juice or it mixed with some other berry.
peppermint tea
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is another drink. In the past we thought peppermint tea would lower testosterone, lower or stabilize estrogen and raise progesterone. Newest studies studies suggest that it may raise estrogen or stabilize. Because the effect to estrogen isn't unknown at this time; We now recommend Saw Palmetto to raise progesterone and lower estrogen and testosterone (see below). But this is gentler; so if you want to use this instead of SP you take 3 cups a day. This is the only tea you can drink for ttc a girl.
When to have sex:
O + 12
This has better success than cut off. Abstain from sex for 7 days or more, and then have sex 12 or so hours after you ovulate. Obviously, you have to pinpoint your ovulation exactly for this: http://www.in-gender.com/cs/forums/t/37676.aspx
Shettles Method
Have sex least 2-3 days before Ovulating. Then keep your pH low till O.
Most important info!!!
First off, diet is the most imortant sway factor. But no matter if o+12 or cut off (shettles) you need to do this! Hour before your attempt check your cm pH. It needs to be 4-4.5. If not then either douche or use rephresh or replens to lower pH. If you are not doing TBM then you may insert 1-3 ml of lime douche 5 minutes or so after bd. Then 1/2 hour after attempt you need to check pH again. If it is high you need to lower it back down to 4-4.5. Check your pH every 1/2 hour up to 4 hours. Then place in a lime doushe tampon.. and leave in for 4 or more hours. The first 4 hours are critical because it takes 4 hours for x sperm to get to the waiting zone. With cut off you need to keep your pH 4-4.5 till confirmed O so check often!
.
Moon theory
Girl- conceived in the “new moon” phase
Boy- conceived in the “full moon” phase
Seasons
Positive ions favor boys Negative ions favor girls Spring has slightly more - than + Summer has more - than + Fall has slightly more + than - Winter has more + than =
Full moon (from the day moon is full till day before new moon) has more + New moon (from the day moon is new till day before full moon) has more -
So if you ttc in winter on a full moon this strongly favors boys. Summer in new moon- strong girl. Spring in full moon is more neural
*note about seasons. If you are south of the Equator (like in Au) the seasons ions aren’t the same. Therefore only the temps will affect you, not the seasons, unless there is a solar flare.
**Special note on Solar flares. Solar flares are bursts of positive ions from the sun that hit the earth and cause the Northern lights. They last about 1-2 days but sway heavily for boy. There is a 12 year solar cycle where at the start of the cycle solar flares are rare and at the end of the cycle they are very common. This cycle can account for the spikes of certain genders in different years. Here is a link to a 3 day solar flare predictor http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/rt_plots/kp_3d.html Green means no solar flares, red means big solar flares. Yellow is small solar flares. NOT EVERYONE IS AFFECTED BY IONS IN THIS WAY! You know if you are by your pH. High pH favors boys and indicate egg is in polarity for y sperm. Low pH favors girls and indicates egg is in polarity for x sperm
Extra’s
No female orgasm
Missionary position for sex
Husband take HOT bath or shower a few minutes before sex (or have a heating pad heat up his “buddies”)
“Jump and Dump”- go to bathroom and “dump” everything right after sex (not for TBM) See this.
Abstinence over 7 days is best or under 48 hours.. not between 2-6 days as this favors boys
Dh wear “tighty whities”
The supplements-->-->
Supplements are to decrease cervical mucus pH. Studies show that low pH favors girl conceptions. The goal of the girl diet is to increase calcium and magnesium in the cm and to change pH; the goal of supplements is to change pH and make creamy CM. Here are all the supplements that I have heard of for ttc a girl. Granted there may be more. They key here is for you to find the right 'recipe' to make low pH with creamy cm with calicum mixed in- this is the goal. Remember.. it is better to take supplements in liquid form if you can find that because it is more easily absorbed by the body
SUPPLEMENTS
* Supplements amounts listed here are the maximum amount for dw and dh. This isn't based on weight but more so on safety.
Calcium citrate (1200 mg combined with diet every day) take from af to af (can stop at O if you want to save money) calcium in the cm helps to sway for a girl (to prevent low ionic strength cal and Mag ratio has to be 2 to 1. If you have a digital pH tester don't worry about this) (not calcium carbonate)
Magnesium (300 a day combined with diet!)take from af to af (can stop at O if you want to save money) Mag. in the cm helps to sway for a girl
Folic Acid (450 mcg a day)** you can take more of this if needed and be safe!! Take all the time THIS DOES NOT SWAY! IT PREVENTS BIRTHDEFECTS AND PREVENTS MC
Acidilophis (2 a day) take from af to af (can stop at O to save money) This is taken to lower pH. side effects: this is a funny supplment. Either it will lower your pH dramaticaly or you will raise it. It is different for different people
B6 (100 mg a day) If taken before O it may delay O. But for those that it doesnt delay o, take all the time, but when you get a bfp you need to ween off slowly- if you take 100 this means the next week you take 80, then the next week 60 then 40, 20, 10 then stop. This is taken to raise progestrone and legthen luteal phase. Side efffects: When taken before O it may dealy O. It will also legthen your luteal phase
Chasteberry (Vitex) (500 mg a day) this is to regulate cycles- do not take if you have regural cycles. Please read this: http://www.in-gender.com/cs/forums/t/50960.aspx
Cranberry (total of 1,500 to 10,000 mg fresh fruit equivalent a day if possible. This is based on equal to fresh fruit equivalent.. not amount on bottle. This part can be tricky. So, 10,000 ml equivalent to fresh fruit) take from af to O (stop at O) this is taken to lower pH side effect: cranberry can not be taken after O as it can cause mc. Cranberry is a blood thinner so if you already taking a blood thinner do not take this.
Lydia Pinkham (take from af to O) this is taken to raise progestrone and regulate cycles side effect: This will either make your cycles regular or screw them up
Vitamen C- 500 mg -af to af (can stop at O to save money) in pill forum this makes you more acidic. (to much can cause gas and diarrhea)
Saw Palmetto standardized -320mg a day (thats one pill a day)- Make sure to buy the standardized kind. Take from AF to O.. not to be taken in the 2ww or with pg! This lowers testrone, lowers estrogen and rasies progesterone. Do not take this with Clomid. There are some warnings so please read the warning sticky. For more info please read this
Before sex
Sudafed (not pe) real drug name is: pseudoephedrine: (a few hours before sex) this is taken to lower pH and dry up cm
Husband take
licorice root 450mg 3 times a day- lowers testosterone and raises estrogen (this is good for dh not for dw). Only have him take from your af to O. He needs the 2ww for a break. Can only take for up to 6 months then he needs a 2 week break (have him follow this 2 week break after the 2ww break so he will total a 4 week break). There are some risks. Read this
Calcium citrate (1200 mg a day) can take from your af to af (or stop at your o to save money) calcium lowers pH in dh and helps x sperm
Magnesium (300 a day combined with diet!) can take from your af to af (or stop at your o to save money)
Acidilophis (2 a day) take from af to OThis is taken to lower pH. side effects: this is a funny supplment. Either it will lower your pH dramaticaly or you will raise it. It is different for different people
Cranberry (total of 1,500 to 10,000 mg a day if possible. This is based on equal to fresh fruit equivalent.. not amount on bottle. This part can be tricky. So, 10,000 ml equivalent to fresh fruit) take from af to O can take from your af to af (or stop at your o to save money) this is taken to lower pH side effect: blood thinner.. see above
Other supplments:
For prevention of mc these supplements can be taken by the dw.
Vitamin E-400 iui - this strengthens the outer shell of the egg and helps with implantation - Warning - Vitamin E can increase EWCM production for some people.
Folic acid- 800-1000mcg this strengthens the inners part of the egg-->-->
Vitamin B12-150mcg makes folic acid work better (b6 also lengths luteal phase, if you take b6 and get a bfp don't stop suddenly, rather decrease it slowly)-->-->
Zinc -50mg- this repairs any of the egg that may have been damaged and also helps with implantation. Often I will get confused and say dw can not take zinc. If I post this; it is wrong.. Only dh taking zinc favors boys.-->-->
Baby aspirin- 81mg- one a day. This helps with implantation and helps to maintain a pregnancy. It thins the blood
The hardest part is trying to decide what to take.
Optimal pH of cm should be
4-4.5
Optimal pH of dh semen should be
7-7.5 (you can lower this to 4-4.5 with lime once it is outside of dh)
Other tips:-->-->
So is Hot showers for dh and dw (lowers sperm count and lowers pH). Some people are using refresh/replens finger to lower cm pH. They are also useing acidjel (has the best acids in it), vinegar douche (if it doesn't raise your pH), or lime douche. This is all based on an environment theory that an acidc one produces girls.. Also Oing will raise female pH so avoid this .For ttc a girl you should use the following products because they have been found to lower female testosterone (which favors boys) Nail polish remove, Nail polish, and anything with Aerosols.
For dh he needs to wear tight fighting underwear. He also should try to get on the girl diet and he needs to lower his semen pH to a 7-7.5. He must try to gain weight as this for dh sways girl. While you must try to lose weight. He can lower pH with cranberry supplements. His pH can be changed quickly with these- he should take as much needed the day before bd to achieve low pH . Finally, sperm count is highest in the morning so try to time bd at night. New info suggest that you want low blood sugar in the mornign when ttc a girl. So avoid carbs in the morning. Also cardio sways girl while weights sway boys. You should avoid eating till noon, whild dh may have breakfast. Finally, warm things sway girl and cold things boy (effects pH and ions)
The Moon-->-->
There is no doubt that the moon can sometimes have and effect on gender if ones body responds to it. Here is the scientific reason behind why this might be and how you can alter that effect if you need to. The theory is that a different sperm have different ions. Now when there is a full moon out it is scientific fact that there are positive ions in the air and we breathe it. When there is a new moon out there are negative ions in the air and you inhaling that as well. The theory is that some peoples bodies react to these ions just like nature does (Google crops and moon, or fish and moon). So when there is a full moon those positive ions cause your egg to have positive ions thus attracting the y sperm. Now if you are O’ing in a full moon you need to try to counteract the effects of the Postive ions. You can do this with running water, air purifires, rock salt deionizers to counteract the effects of a full moon or use magnate therapy using negative ions- polar north, and avoid computers or at least have a fan blowing on you while you are on a computer.
Website full of good info on where to find negavtive ions:

-Info on pH strips and retrieving cm-->-->
Digital pH testers are the best for testing pH. For more info see here: http://www.in-gender.com/cs/forums/t/57805.aspx Then there are two pH strips you want to look for (if not buying digital). Alkalive (also called pHion) and full range (also called universal). These are found the cheapest on ebay (search pH strips then select lowest to highest price.) Alkalive can measure between numbers like a 4.75 but can be hard to read so you need a back up. The full range strips will only read one number- no between but they are very easy to read. To see my review of pH strips go here: http://www.in-gender.com/CS/forums/thread/34059.aspx-->--> . More info about digtital pH testers: http://www.in-gender.com/cs/forums/p/41714/383906.aspx#383906
CM pH test strips are read in 15-20 minutes (but don't read it dry)
Semen pH test strips are read in 1 minute. The reason for the difference is water content.
Digital pH tester the pH is read right away- no waiting
How to retrieve cm….TMI!!! You reach up inside your V and with your finger you touch the cervix. Then you hook your finger and pull out. The cm on the tip of your finger is the one you want to test. The cm closest to your cervix is the most alkaline and the cm on the edges of your v is acidic. Wipe this on the pH strip (or on the digital pH tester wand) and wait for up to 10 minutes (no waiting for digital) depending on how much water is in your cm. If your pH strip doesn’t change and you have tried several times to test pH; this means you have low ionic strength in your cm (which means you NEED a digtal pH tester). Urion pH only tells you how you are doing with your diet and supplements that day- it does not help with swaying besides that.
To test dh pH you have him give a sample in a cup or a condom. Then test that sample with pH strips right away (the longer semen sits out the higher the pH goes and you want to know his initial pH).
*helpful tip: If you can not retrieve cm to test pH in this manner get a instead cup or diva cup. Place it in vj for 30 minute-hour. This will fill up with fresh cm that you can test easily
The Diva cup:
The Diva cup will increases your chances of becoming pregnant. And it will not effect pH. But here is the tricky part. Every 1/2 hour after attempt you need to remove the cup and test the pH inside your vj and in the cup and lower if necessary. Then place the up back in. You do this up to 4 hour then take the cup out and put in a lime tampon. http://www.in-gender.com/cs/forums/t/50695.aspx

Douche
*Douche needs to be body temp or you may kill sperm.
-->-->
To help conceive a baby girl use an acidic Douche -->-->
There are 3 douches you can choose from. 7% vinegar/calcium, lime douche and store bought vinegar douche. 7%is most effecteve due to the acetyl radical and acetic acid then after that is lime and last is store bought. Please note: 7% Vinegar has been known to raise the pH in some women instead of lowering it. So please test this out before your attempt. Lime has not had this problem. The following is an explaion of why it is better and how to make it.
7% vinegar/calcium: (pH of 4)
7% vinegar/cal works for TBM is because of 3 reasons: The first is Because the y sperm at low pH's tails freeze (they don't like low pH), the second is because at that low pH calcium binding to sperm occurs and the Third is because of acetyl radical and acetic acid . These chemicals play a big part in girl conceptions. Now onto the new step. When you TBM you freeze the tails of the y sperm to give the x sperm a chance to head up. But according to the study, douching an hour before is Critical for this to work. 1/2 hour the freezing stops and the y sperm start to swim again.
Douching an hour before is Critical for this to work. AT 5 mintues after bd (or 30 mintues after tbm), ake your pH reading. If it is to high then take the douche and insert 1-3 ml into the vJ to lower the pH to 4-4.5 You then check Keep checking this every 30 mintutes for up to 4 hours; then take a lime douche soaked tampon and place it in there to prevent leakage- you can remove this 4 hours later. The following is explanation on how to make the mix, the tampon, and other info. DO NOT USE THIS FOR PLACING DIRECTLY INTO SPERM (TBM). Only lime juice (not the douche) can be used to lower semen pH directly.
*For the mix you want this to have a pH of 4 The study this is based on uses vinegar.
Here (this link will tell you how to make distilled water)
How to make 7% vinegar:
This can made in an hour. It is easier to make the 7% by freezing than with boiling.. Here is what to do..Put 5% vinegar in freezer. Watch for when a forms a layer of ice on the top. Then remove that ice (skim it). Do this 4-5 times and the % will be right. Then take it out. it is now 7%. The day of your attempt add the calcium power (or pill if you cant find power) and let it dissolve for one hour. pH should be 4 after you add the calcium. Add 3-4 drops of distiled water (to activate it) and then it is ready to be used
Lime douche: (pH of 2)
•Mix lime with distilled water - test pH. If it isn't low enough mix more.
•Let the solution stand for approximately 10 minutes. -->-->
•One hour before intercourse stir the solution again then insert some of the solution into the vagina (This can be done with a douche or a syringe ~ both available at pharmacies). -->-->
•While inserted, empty the douche or syringe slowly and gently preferably while lying down to ensure maximum effect. -->-->
DOUCHING
An hour before sex
7% Vinegar/calcium and some drops of distilled waterwater (pH of 4)
Lime and water (pH of 2)
Replens or Rephresh vaginal moisturizer (every three days or every other dayonly and only a fingertip full- not the entire applicator!) You can also use this in place of douche 2 hours before attatmp (but not the entire applicator)
How to douche: The hour before you can either use a store bought douche bag or a big syringe (12+ml). Let is run out and wash away ewcm. The 1/2 hour after follow up douches is only 1-3ml. This follow up douches are ment to just lower pH. You do not need to douche an hour before if you have a pH of 4-4.5 and no ewcm.
Lime douche Tampon
*To make a lime douche tampon you place lime douche in a plastic cup and soak the tampon while still in the plastic applicator. Right before inserting take the tampon out so that it isn’t dripping. Then you insert it while while making sure you dont let any sperm out and leave it in for 4 hours. This is to be done after every attempt. If you are doing a cut off (I would rather you do o+12 but anyway..) you need to check your pH every hour till O. This can be tricky at night, so be careful. You dont need to put a lot in, just enough to keep pH low. Always always always make sure your hand are clean. Also remember with tampons you run the risk of TSS
No matter what your plan.. 1/2 hour after BD you should insert follow up douche into your vj and don't let it out This isn't a douche- but rather a mix you insert to freeze the y sperm and to give the x sperm a better chance. Then keep cheking every 1/2 hour up to 4 hours. If you are not doing TBM then you should check your pH 5 mintues after bd and do a lowering douche (1-3ml) if needed. Then keep checking every 30 minutes up to 4 hours. To check the pH after attempt you only check the combined pH at the entrance; not deep inside. But if you have to lower your pH you do need to put it up in there carefully.
Refresh and Replens
Replens: pH 2.8
Rephresh: pH 4-5
Replens is now used for replens finger. Rephresh is used as a lube.. HOWEVER if your pH is already a pH less than 5 do not use replens, you can use rephresh as a lube when bd as it has the right actic acids for ttc a girl. rephresh has a pH of 5 you want the pH to be 4-4.5. The higher your pH the higher the pH of rephresh will be as it is a reactive lube. where as replens is always a pH of 2 point somthing PLEASE TRY THIS AHEAD OF TIME TO SEE HOW IT EFFECTS YOUR pH!! For some women they will raise pH. For the 1/2 hour after attempt if you want to lower pH with with this you need to use rephresh; not replens.
*If you use Aci-jel, then use it just like replens. Fine more info here. If aci-jel is sold out you may try acid jelly
Replens finger. This is for women who want to lower pH the days before bd time.. Every other day bd make sure your hands are clean and then you dip your finger in replens or refresh. Then, sit down on the toilet and insert your finger with refresh and pull out. If tested right away your cm should go from high to low (7 to 4-4.5) and stay that way for a long time. . You woud use this every other day to lower your pH.
LUBE
If you need lube ttc a girl you have two choices. Either Rephresh (please read above) or canola oil. Lubes do not sway well for a girl on there own. You need to do everything else as well. Lube is just to help you bd.
Canola oil has a pH of 6.83 but it is an oil can can not sway. You can use canola oil right before your attempt to help you to get pregnant however some women's pH will raise become of this. So you NEED to check pH every 1/2 hour up to 4 hours and lower if necessary.
Past theory's:
I thought I should add past theory's that have worked for some people. In 2004 women were trying the condom theory. With this theory they used a spermicide condom and poked a hole in the condom. They then bd to ttc a girl. This method worked well but everyone that did it moved on with their lives so it droped off. The second theory was done in 2005 and that was the spermicide method. The theory was if spermicide were to fail it would sway for girl. However everyone droped it when no one got pregnant.
Bd every day verses abstaining for over 7 days
Here is the thing. First off do the opposite of what ever you did to get your boys. Did you bd every day? then abstain, did you abstain for over 7 days? then release every day or every other day. Second, only try abstaining of 7 days or more for about 6-12 months. Then if you are not pg get a microscope and check to make sure you dh sperm are alive. A small number (3%) of men can not abstain because there sperm all die. Or if you don't want to use a scope, just switch to bd every day or every other day if you just want to get pg.
Do I think abstaining is the best between the 2? YUP! However, for those 3% who it can't work for I want to make sure they aren't waisting there attempts. If it was up to me I would have everyone who was going to abstain have them check there dh semen the first time they abstain to make sure none of their attempts are waisted.
Finally there is a Forum called ‘Extreme gender swaying'which takes swaying a step further into ‘at home sperm sorting using TBM, Swim Up, or GDC. It can all be found here:

Trying to conceive a boy? Read this!
The only thing that is 100% is PGD but we feel swaying can change the odds into our favor. Here you will find a lot of the information that is key for a good swaying attempt. It is up to you to find the right ‘recipe’ or ‘path’ that will be your attempt for a son. We are here to offer support, guidance and answer any questions you might have. There are many things you can do to sway the odds and here is the information that we hope will be helpful to you. The basic idea is that y sperm love a high pH from 8-9.9. When exposed to this pH they will thrive. Also y sperm love potassium and when potassium gets into the molecular level of cervical mucus it helps to ‘guide’ them to there destination faster than x sperm. Sperm count is highest when abstained from 2-6 days with day 4 being the highest and day 7 seeing a dramatic drop off (high sperm count favors y sperm.) Finally, although timing isn’t a proved theory, it is best to time bd near O if possible because this is when cm pH is the highest. Ok here is the rest of the info:
Link to studies that support these theories
Tier One (eat as often as you like) Here are the foods that are on all three diets with no calcium or very little calcium in them:
Here are the foods on the boy diet and the potassium diet with little or no calcium in them:
Potassium Drink: 1 cup V8 2-6 heaped tbls. nutritional yeast flakes (start with smaller amount) Potassium- 800-1,800 mg. Protein- 8-24 gramsGelatin drink: Gelatin is a huge booster for testosterone. You want pure Gelatin such as the kind made from Knox. This has no sugar and is therefore not very acidic. You drink or eat one package of Gelatin 3 times a day from af to O (or more if you want but to save money just from af to O). For more info please read this: http://www.in-gender.com/cs/forums/t/45012.aspx
All other drinks- Some recommend mineral water for ttc a boy. This is ok as long as you can find one with no calcium or magnesium. Caffeine can be consumed by the dh once a day- any more and it will drop sperm count. DW can consume caffeine but remember that coffee is acidic and not to drink diet pop (diet pop is acidic). Juices need to follow the boy diet making sure the fruit is listed as boy safe--> The following are great for ttc a boy: tomato juice ( very high Na and K, low Ca and Mg), Pineapple J, lemon j, and apple j.( about 10mg of Ca and Mg per 100g for all of them. *You can mix the cot and bs into one drink if you make sure not to go over the total amount aloud for the day.
You dont take all the supplments.. but rather pick the one that works best for YOU
Robitussum or (Guaifenesin tablets) 400mg~ Helps thin out cm.May be taken from last day of period until 3 days after ovulation. Take 2 tsp about 3 times per day-Mucinex over-the counter-->-->
Alka Selzter Gold~ Each serving of ASG (there are 2 tablets in a packet) = 2100 mg sodium bicarbonate. (Do not take more than 3696mg a day). ASG raise pH and the gold gives you potassium
*Green Tea 315mg~ Helps loosen cm and improves overall fertility. Drink 2-3 cups per day starting from last day of period. Can also be taken in the form of tablets, 2-3 tablets per-->-->
Potassium pills 99mg- Makes cm more alkaline add potassium to cm. Only a little is absorbed with pills. More is absorbed with diet.
Fertile-cm- makes ewcm and is alkaline. Increase female testosterone, take 3 a day with 66+ oz of water. Can be taken from af to af or if you want to save money from af to confirmed o-->-->
False unicorn 900mg (ewcm, alkaline)- (suppose to help regulate cycle after depo-provera shot)-->-->
Fish Oil 1000 mg- (NOT Cod Liver Oil) EWCM and makes cm more alkaline (please read dh supplments about fish oil for him down below)-->-->
Folic acid 2000 or more mcg –this is a must for ttc a boy. strengthens egg and prevents miscarriage and is needed while on the boy diet To make sure you can absorb the most Folic Acid it needs to be taken when you won't consume any of the Boy Diet drinks that will limit its absorption. Keep taking this till the 12 week of pg then ween yourself down to your prenatal.
*Flaxseed Oil 1000mg -increase cm -->-->
Royal Jelly and Bee Pollen - DO NOT TAKE IF YOU HAVE BEE ALERGIES!! 1tsp morning and night do not use a metal spoon to eat it do not dissolve in water, just stick it in your mouth and smash it with your tongue. You can then swallow some water. It is just quicker and easier this way and it most likely won't dissolve in the water anyway. Do not heat it at all. The heat will destroy the effectiveness of it. This also takes around 3 months to work but I have seen it work in shorter amounts of time. This supplent will raise pH and make for a strong ovulation helping you to get pregenant. Please read more here, here and here *contains fake estrogen- could lengthen your cycle.
For Dh:
CoQ-10 cardio formula by GNC. has been diccontuned so read this link and this- (it did raise testorone, pH and sperm count (dont take L-arginine with this one as it has it in it already)
-->-->
This info found here: http://www.tryingtoconceive.com/eggwhites.htm-->-->
Pre-seed mix (this does not have as good of sway as ew.. please consider ew first)
Pre-seed has a pH of 7. To ttc a boy you need at least a pH of 8. To raise pH of pre-seed place pre-seed in a paper cup. Then mix about 4 pinches of baking soda in with it by stirring. The pre-seed might change colors to white but it still should have the same consistency. Check pH of pre-seed to make sure it is an 8. Suck up pre-seed with dropper and use as needed.
Link to studies that support these theories
There are 7 Factors that make up swaying: pH, ions, minerals, diet, hormones, supplments and timeing. You cant just count on one to work. If you only do timeing that is only 1/7th of a sway. Here is more info: 7 factors or here if that link doesnt work

Boy diet-->-->
There is some studies that suggest the food you eat can affect the gender outcome of your children. So, for the boy diet I did a little comparison between the boy diet (studies show this favors boys), the Potassium diet (potassium favors y sperm), the alkaline diet (effects pH) and the testosterone diet (high testosterone favors boys). You would try to eat off of this from one threw 4- One being the most important and 4 being the least. When doing the boy diet you must be adding salt as much as possible. However salt depletes the body of folic acid and your risk of miscarriage goes up when you don't have enough folic acid. So PLEASE take folic acid supplements when you are on this diet. Do not stop taking FA till you are in the 12 week of pg; then you can switch to your prenatal. If you have high blood pressure you should avoid the boy diet. Rather concentrate on the alkaline diet while cutting out dairy

Here are the foods on the boy diet and the potassium diet with little or no calcium in them:
Boy Diet Mineral Ranges (except for K+, these are ranges only for the diet, minerals are posted below):
Na++ (Sodium) 5000-6000 mg/ day
K+ (Potassium) 4,000-5,000 mg/day (this is a combined supplement/diet total.. NO MORE)
Ca (Calcium) 250-400 mg/day
Mg (Magnesium) 120-200 mg/day
Warning- to much potassium to fast can cause heart palpitations. Be careful of this! For salt use sea salt on everything
Tier Two (eat as much as you want as long as you watch minerals and stay within range)
Meat- most meat but not fish
Potato's - very high is potassium!Apricots

*You can replace milk with Rice milk (with 2% calcium or less). It is slightly acidic so if your pH is working then don't use.
*Plain Pasta is a neutral food. It contains none of the minerals on any of the diets
*You can add more positive ions to meat by soaking in a salt brine first.
A great website to help you track your potassium, salt, magnesium, and calcium intake is: WWW.fitday.com

Other: Make sure to think about mouth wash and tooth pasts as well as other things you may place in your mouth. Always try to find tooth paste with the most sodium products (like baking soda tooth paste). But remember baking soda tooth paste would go toward your total amount of bs aloud in a day
Drinks
You dont take all the drinks.. but rather pick the one that works best for YOU
*Baking soda drink- (Each 1 teaspoon serving of pure BS =1232 mg sodium bicarbonate) One of the fastest ways to raise pH that has been discovered is baking soda drink. It is very important to follow the direction on the box. Do not take more than six 1/2 tsp a day (which is 3tsp a day or 3696mg). When baking soda is consumed it is a drug and you can over dose on it. You must also make sure that the powder is completely dissolved because unresolved baking soda can cause ulcers. You drink this from Af to O. Here is a link to the baking soda website:http://www.armhammer.com/basics/magic/index.asp#12 If you do this you must take Folic acid every day.
Appe Cidar Vinegar (acv) drink: MAKE SURE IT HAS THE 'MOTHER' ATTACHED! drink 4 oz water, 2 T ACV, three times a day. Do not drink this in the morning as it lowers blood sugar which sways girl. Start drinking it after lunch.
*Cream of tartar drink. Cream of tartar is pure potassium and when added to water it becomes easly absorbed by the body. There is 495mg of potassium in 1 tsp of cot. You can't have any more than 7 tsp a day.. you need to build up gradually. Only side effect is diaherea if taken to much. You can add one tsp of cot to 1/2 tsp bs and 4 oz of water- mix well and wait for fizzing to stop. Drink from af to O giving your body a break during the 2ww. . If you do this you must take large amounts of Folic acid every day.
Lemon or lime water- Lemons and limes are acidic out of the body. But once consumed they have a chemical reaction with the acidic in the stomach that make them super alkaline. When ttc you want to drink 66-120+ oz of water a day, so why not make it lemon? You can use any form of lemon (fresh or bottled) and you add enough till you can taste it. Lemon is more alkaline than lime however; lemon has just a little less calcium than lime.
Potassium Drink: 1 cup V8 2-6 heaped tbls. nutritional yeast flakes (start with smaller amount) Potassium- 800-1,800 mg. Protein- 8-24 grams
All other drinks- Some recommend mineral water for ttc a boy. This is ok as long as you can find one with no calcium or magnesium. Caffeine can be consumed by the dh once a day- any more and it will drop sperm count. DW can consume caffeine but remember that coffee is acidic and not to drink diet pop (diet pop is acidic). Juices need to follow the boy diet making sure the fruit is listed as boy safe--> The following are great for ttc a boy: tomato juice ( very high Na and K, low Ca and Mg), Pineapple J, lemon j, and apple j.( about 10mg of Ca and Mg per 100g for all of them. *You can mix the cot and bs into one drink if you make sure not to go over the total amount aloud for the day.
The supplements
Supplements are to increase cervical mucus pH. Studies show that high pH favors boy conceptions. These are the supplements I have found. The goal of the boy diet is to increase potassium in the cm and to change pH; the goal of supplements is to change pH and make EWCM. Here are all the supplements that I have heard of for ttc a boy. Granted there may be more. They key here is for you to find the right 'recipe' to make high pH with ewcm with potassium mixed in- this is the goal.
Remember.. it is better to take supplements in liquid form if you can find that because it is more easily absorbed by the body. You should have a small meal / snack which contains some fat when taking your Vits and supplements. You will absorb more from the supplements that way. Your body will be releasing the enzymes to digest the food and it's vitamins and so will have the right enzymes about to get the most out of those expensive supplements For the dw:
*Evening Primrose Oil (EPO) 1000mg total a day~ Increases cm and ewcm. Try to space it out by takeing 2-3 capsules per day from last day of period until ovulation--
Robitussum or (Guaifenesin tablets) 400mg~ Helps thin out cm.May be taken from last day of period until 3 days after ovulation. Take 2 tsp about 3 times per day-Mucinex over-the counter-->-->
Alka Selzter Gold~ Each serving of ASG (there are 2 tablets in a packet) = 2100 mg sodium bicarbonate. (Do not take more than 3696mg a day). ASG raise pH and the gold gives you potassium

False unicorn 900mg (ewcm, alkaline)- (suppose to help regulate cycle after depo-provera shot)-->-->
E 400iu-Strengthens lining of egg and can enhance EWCM for some people
Folic acid 2000 or more mcg –this is a must for ttc a boy. strengthens egg and prevents miscarriage and is needed while on the boy diet To make sure you can absorb the most Folic Acid it needs to be taken when you won't consume any of the Boy Diet drinks that will limit its absorption. Keep taking this till the 12 week of pg then ween yourself down to your prenatal.
*
Tribulus Terrestris - Can raise testosterone and estrogen. Should be the Bulgarian (45% saponins). Follow instructions on bottle for dosing.
L-Arginine 500mg- makes ewcm and raises testrone. Not to be taken with fertile-cm as fcm has it in it already
Zinc (raises testostrone) 50mg -One a day no more
B-12 150mcg -Repairs sperm count if dh has caffeen on a daily bases (daily caffeen isn't recommended)
ginseng 500mg- raises testostrone
L-arginine 500mg- raises pH and sperm count
Vitamin E - 400iu raies sperm count
CoQ-10 cardio formula by GNC. has been diccontuned so read this link and this- (it did raise testorone, pH and sperm count (dont take L-arginine with this one as it has it in it already)
Folic acid 800mcg- This repairs DNA damage in sperm cells
Baking soda drink to raise pH*
Fish oil: 1000mg. This will raise his pH and sperm count. But here is the MOST IMPORTANT rule for dh.. you MUST buy mercury free certified fish oil (and not cod liver oil). Because Mercury will sway for a girl
**Bs drink is better for dh at raise his pH then alfalfa because alfalfa has photoestrogens.
Other supplments:
For prevention of mc these supplements can be taken by the dw. Please note, some of these sway for girl and can only be taken in the 2ww. Please check the ttc girl faq for more info. These are listed here for helping to prevent mc for those who have a fear of mc. Swaying does not cause miscarrage; these are just supplments to help if you have had a mc in the past.
Vitamin E-400 iui - this strengthens the outer shell of the egg and helps with implantation-->-->
Folic acid- 800-1000mcg this strengthens the inners part of the egg-->-->
Vitamin B12-150mcg makes folic acid work better (b6 also lengths luteal phase, if you take b6 and get a bfp don't stop suddenly, rather decrease it slowly)-->-->
Zinc -50mg- this repairs any of the egg that may have been damaged and also helps with implantation-->-->
False unicorn-900mg- This helps the egg (don't know how), helps with implantation and helps to maintain a pregnancy.-->-->

The hardest part is trying to decide what to take. I know for a fact that you can not mix Alfalfa with black cohosh so I don't even have that supplement on this list. After O the only safe suppleness are Fertile-Cm, false unicorn, fish oil, vitamin E, folic acid and flaxseed oil. Because the rest have been know to cause problems with miscarriage.-->-->

Other tips:-->-->
Eggs whites is best for ttc a boy. Others are also trying soaking in one cup of Sea salt baths (not epsom salt)or baking soda baths (if you do bs bath you need to count 3 baths in one day as one serving of bs orally as it gets absorbed) and cold showers. This is all based on an environment theory that an Alkaline one produces boys. Lemon water has a huge but gradual effect on female cm pH. You should drink 66-100+oz a day of this. Also Oing 3 times a day for a week is suppose to raise female pH. Finally some are using instead cups fpr 90 minutes after bd to hold the y sperm up there longer so they get a chance to swim. For ttc a boy you should avoid using the following products because they have been found to lower female testosterone (which favors boys) Nail polish remove, Nail polish, and anything with Aerosols.
For dh you need him to stay away from hot showers and baths. He needs to not wear tight fighting underwear. He also should try to get on the boy diet and he needs to raise his semen pH to a 9+. He can raise pH with alfalfa or other ‘green’ supplements. His pH can be changed quickly with these- he should take as much needed the day before bd to achieve high pH. An hour before bd time he needs to consume caffeine. Also if he rubs ice on the family jewels once a day this is rumored to help the y sperm along. Finally, sperm count is highest in the morning so try to time bd then. New info suggest that you want low blood sugar in the mornign sways girl and high blood sugar sways boys. So eat your breakfast (cerical has carbs and rice crispies is aloud with o cal rice dream milk) in the morning. Also cardio sways girl while weights sway boys. Finally, warm things sway girl and cold things boy (effects pH and ions)
The Moon-->-->
There is no doubt that the moon can sometimes have and effect on gender if ones body responds to it. Here is the scientific reason behind why this might be and how you can alter that effect if you need to. The theory is that a different sperm have different ions. Now when there is a full moon out it is scientific fact that there are positive ions in the air and we breathe it. When there is a new moon out there are negative ions in the air and you inhaling that as well. The theory is that some peoples bodies react to these ions just like nature does (Google crops and moon, or fish and moon). So when there is a full moon those positive ions cause your egg to have positive ions thus attracting the y sperm. Now if you are O’ing in a new moon you need to try to counteract the effects of the negative ions. You can do this with electrical equipment like an electric blanket, because machines running on electricity omit positive ions or you can buy products for magnate therapy (making sure to use the positive ions also called polar south). (If you are reading this and are ttc a girl then you need to Google rock salt deionizers to counteract the effects of a full moon or use magnate therapy using negative ions- polar north)
Website full of good info on where to find positive ions:
Seasons Positive ions favor boys Negative ions favor girls Spring has slightly more - than + Summer has more - than + Fall has slightly more + than - Winter has more + than =
Full moon (from the day moon is full till day before new moon) has more + New moon (from the day moon is new till day before full moon) has more -
So if you ttc in winter on a full moon this strongly favors boys. Summer in new moon- strong girl. Spring in full moon is more neural
*note about seasons. If you are south of the Equator (like in Au) the seasons ions aren’t the same. Therefore only the temps will affect you, not the seasons, unless there is a solar flare.
**Special note on Solar flares. Solar flares are bursts of positive ions from the sun that hit the earth and cause the Northern lights. They last about 1-2 days but sway heavily for boy. There is a 12 year solar cycle where at the start of the cycle solar flares are rare and at the end of the cycle they are very common. This cycle can account for the spikes of certain genders in different years. Here is a link to a 3 day solar flare predictor http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/rt_plots/kp_3d.html Green means no solar flares, red means big solar flares. Yellow is small solar flares. NOT EVERYONE IS AFFECTED BY IONS IN THIS WAY! You know if you are by your pH. High pH favors
Info on pH strips and retrieving cm
Digital pH testers are the best for testing pH. For more info see here: http://www.in-gender.com/cs/forums/t/57805.aspx Then there are two pH strips you want to look for (if not buying digital). Alkalive (also called pHion) and full range (also called universal). These are found the cheapest on ebay (search pH strips then select lowest to highest price.) Alkalive can measure between numbers like a 4.75 but can be hard to read so you need a back up. The full range strips will only read one number- no between but they are very easy to read. To see my review of pH strips go here: http://www.in-gender.com/CS/forums/thread/34059.aspx-->--> . More info about digtital pH testers: http://www.in-gender.com/cs/forums/p/41714/383906.aspx#383906
CM pH test strips are read in 15-20 minutes (but don't read it dry)
Semen pH test strips are read in 1 minute. The reason for the difference is water content.
Digital pH tester is read right away
How to retrieve cm….TMI!!! You reach up inside your V and with your finger you touch the cervix. Then you hook your finger and pull out. The cm on the tip of your finger is the one you want to test. The cm closest to your cervix is the most alkaline and the cm on the edges of your v is acidic. Wipe this on the pH strip (or on the digital pH tester wand) and wait for up to 10 minutes (no waiting for digital) depending on how much water is in your cm. If your pH strip doesn’t change and you have tried several times to test pH; this means you have low ionic strength in your cm (which means you NEED a digtal pH tester). Urion pH only tells you how you are doing with your diet and supplements that day- it does not help with swaying besides that.
To test dh pH you have him give a sample in a cup or a condom. Then test that sample with pH strips right away (the longer semen sits out the higher the pH goes and you want to know his initial pH).
*helpful tip: If you can not retrieve cm to test pH in this manner get a instead cup or diva cup. Place it in vj for 30 minute-hour. This will fill up with fresh cm that you can test easily To test dh pH you have him give a sample in a cup or a condom. Then test that sample with pH strips right away (the longer semen sits out the higher the pH goes and you want to know his initial pH).

Baking Soda Douche-->-->

To help conceive a baby boy use an Alkaline Douche -->-->
- Dissolve two tablespoons of baking soda in one liter of warm water and mix. -->-->
- Let the solution stand for approximately 10 minutes. -->-->
- One hour before intercourse stir the solution again then insert some of the solution into the vagina (This can be done with a douche or a syringe ~ both available at pharmacies). -->-->
- While inserted, empty the douche or syringe slowly and gently preferably while lying down to ensure maximum effect. -->-->
Baking Soda Finger-->-->
This is for women who can’t do baking soda douche because of susceptibility to infections, but still want to raise there pH before bd. An hour before bd make sure your hands are clean and then you wet the tip of your finger (some say middle finger is easier) then dip it in baking soda. Then, sit down on the toilet and insert your finger with the baking soda and pull out. If tested right away your cm should go from low to high (4.5 to 7-8) and stay that way for up to four hours. You might be able to smell the baking soda, but it shouldn’t burn or hurt. Big thing to remember is to make sure not to actually touch your cervix. It has been said that it would burn pretty badly if you did. -->-->
How to use egg whites or Pre-seed-->-->
Egg whites have the best sway over pre-seed. So please if you want the very best sway choose egg whites with a pH of 9-9.9. Please make sure you buy pasterized eggs (or you can pastrize them yourself)
Egg whites: Goal pH of egg whites is 9-9.9 and the fresher the egg the better the pH.
Normal pH of egg whites:-->-->
Normal pH of egg whites:-->-->
Pasteurized from real egg separated whites 8-10+
Pasteurized egg whites from box (with additives) 8-9

Pasteurized egg whites from box (with additives) 8-9
Powered egg whites 6.5
Farm fresh eggs- never refrigerated, non-pasteurized, separated 9-9.9-->-->
The pH of the egg whites is extremely important. If your egg whites don't have a pH between 9-9.9 then you either need to lower the pH (if it is a 10) or use a different egg (if it is unpasteurized-then you can pasteurize it yourself)
Egg White Mix Recipe:
How to lower pH :-->-->
How to lower pH :-->-->
First check real EW pH. If it is less than 10 then you don’t need to do this. ….Using a fork gently mix: a little preseed with your egg whties. pH of this mixture should be 9.
How to raise pH:
2 weeks before attempt wash egg shells in soap and water. Place in eggs either in a glass bowl or other non-plastic container and let them sit in there for a two weeks.
Egg whites can provide a mucus-like environment which is sperm friendly. Take an egg out of the fridge set it on the counter for approximately 1 hour, so it can reach room temp. Before DTD, crack open the egg separate the yolk from the white then check pH of egg white; and then insert the room temperature white gently into your vagina. Worried about bacteria? Pasterize your eggs yourself!2 weeks before attempt wash egg shells in soap and water. Place in eggs either in a glass bowl or other non-plastic container and let them sit in there for a two weeks.

Pre-seed mix (this does not have as good of sway as ew.. please consider ew first)
Pre-seed has a pH of 7. To ttc a boy you need at least a pH of 8. To raise pH of pre-seed place pre-seed in a paper cup. Then mix about 4 pinches of baking soda in with it by stirring. The pre-seed might change colors to white but it still should have the same consistency. Check pH of pre-seed to make sure it is an 8. Suck up pre-seed with dropper and use as needed.
Finally there is a thread called ‘Extreme Gender Swaying' which takes swaying a step further into ‘at home sperm sorting’using Modified Swim Up. It can all be found here:
This would be the individual diets in order of importance but avoiding all calcium.-->-->Here is the foods on the boy diet and the Alkaline diet.
