    Last month failed, so going to try something new

    AF arrived, so I think I am going to try something new. I have Rephresh and Replens. I have my PH strips. I'm taking my calcium, magnesium, cranberry pills and folic acid. DH is taking cranberry. I am ready! My question is what do you think works best? Rephresh or replens or vinegar douching (FYI, my sister and I were "from the vinegar factory" according to my mother, so I do believe that way does work, just makes me nervous to put that stuff up there)? Should I do refresh every 3 days through O? It sounds like this is the best one. Should I use it with the douche? Should I add Replens in right before DTD? Is that too much? I know its a lot of questions, just trying to decide what the best route to take is.

    Thanks!

    Are you doing LE diet, exercise and DTD frequency? Those are the biggest sway factors and you didn't note them. Cal/mag doesn't sway pink, either -- that's more old school. Ph has been debunked as well.

    I'm curious why you want to do something new. How long have you been trying? If it's only been 1 month, staying the course of a proper LE lifestyle seems like a better plan.

    Yes, trying to do the LE diet (But i'm having a very hard time with it, especially because I travel for work and have to eat out a lot) and exercising at least 4 times a week. DTD as often as we can from end of AF to O. Also doing BBT and OPK.

    Don't DTD as often as you can as that sways blue. The recommended advice on this site is to dtd just once at your first positive OPK. Douching isn't really recommended anymore either

    Ugh, this is so confusing because everything I read or am told contradicts one another. Maybe I will give stick to vinegar. Seemed to work for my mom and aunts… Maybe its just a family thing. GRRR.

    Rancor, this site will be different than things you read from Internet searches because this sites techniques and advice is based on solid research. The other things out there are based on very old studies that have since been proven false but still circulate online.

    Start with the LE diet, cardio and only one attempt at +OPK. There are posts on here about each of those for more details.

    Most of us here aren't doing PH/timing/calc mag supplements. Many of the moms her have had opposites with that stuff.

    Only having one BD attempt (at your first positive OPK) has pretty good results. Diet and exercise have been most successful, plus coffee, alcohol, and fibre supplements.

    If you can't do the LE diet all out, not snacking, eating vegetarian, and pushing breakfast later or skipping it entirely might help.

    I have been skipping breakfast completely, doing a very small lunch, and a girl diet dinner as much as I can. I just feel like there is so much information that is conflicting. So we should do no FR? Or yes?

    Frequent release should be DH on his own, or protected. I have seen atomic say it wasn't getting good results though.
