I just bought some litmus paper off ebay. Since we're trying for a girl, I want to check the pH of my CM before BDing. DH thinks I'm insane (and gross lol!)
I'm so excited!!! AF arrived late last night (she's so predictable) and DH and I talked and decided to go ahead and start trying next cycle!! I figure, doing all these girl methods to make my CM acidic is going to kill off a lot of spermies so it will probably take longer to get preggers. I have no patience so I'd rather start now if it's going to take 4 or 5 months. We would start this cycle but I don't want an August due date. Plus this way I can get one charted month on all these girl supplements to get a feel for things before we start. I'm taking cranberry, vitex, calcium/magnesium and I'm going to try to follow the girl diet although it looks next to impossible Ooooh can't wait until next cycle!!! It's so exciting to be OFFICIALLY TTC!!! I can change my blinkies now lol!! ![]() |

Giving away FREE crotch extenders -- do I have any takers??

Man, I couldn't follow that diet! GL!! I hope you get a girl with all that effort. FYI, most pharmacies can order litmus papers for you and they're about $3 a bag or vial.
