    Does cranberry (juice!) sway in either direction?

    I felt I was developing a UTI during this cycle and added pure cranberry juice to my regimen during the 2WW, I drank about 1/2 cup to a cup per day max and diluted it in my daily mineral water.

    Symptoms are gone and I'm done with the juice but I'm left wondering if it will somehow mess with my boy sway. I didn't change anything else.

    I think it may sway slightly blue, but not enough to really mess up anyone's sway.

    For people who are swaying pink, it's not concentrated enough to really do anything (you would need supps for that.)

    To reassure you Cosmosis, I drank an 8-12oz glass of semi-diluted cranberry juice with some sparkling water and lime every night when TTCing my DS1. With all the BDing, I felt like I needed it to prevent a UTI. It did!

    If it is not in your sway plan (which it isn't) then it isn't right for you!

    If you're talking about UTI, it probably isn't terribly helpful for treating an already existing UTI and has been kind of debunked lately https://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/28/h...juice-uti.html

    Yep, like atomic said, Cranberry isn't meant to treat already present UTI's. It also isn't meant to treat recurring UTI's and it will not help all UTI's because not all UTI's are caused by the same bacteria.

    The article cited female nursing home patients which is a totally different ballpark than what we deal with. Those kind of UTI's are said to be caused by pseudomonas aeruginosa, and klebsiella pneumonia bacteria which are both found in medical settings.

    The contents in cranberry only appear to adhere to e-coli, which happens to be the leading cause of UTI's in young women because of sexual intercourse. It is meant to be used as a preventative and not a treatment and unfortunately most will start dosing after the matter when urine is already cloudy and infection is full force.

    I personally can feel them coming on and dose immediately and I also use Allicin or Oregano oil which are both natural antibiotics (for lack of better wording). I also don't consume sugar or much starch so it is very easy to nip things quickly for me.

    Hi im new to all this and theres so much info everywhere. I am planning on swaying pink and have read that for that you need to drink a lot of cranberry juice as well as taking the supplements to reduce ph but then others say it sways blue. Im confused.

    I understand it's confusing, but cranberry juice is NOT powerful enough to do anything for swaying (in order to get the amount in a supplement you'd have to drink tons of the stuff. Plus, it's calories and vitamins that may possibly sway blue. And since our results show clearly that cran supplements are neutral, not swaying pink or blue with the same number of people getting girls with and without taking them, the data indicates they don't work even in supplement form. And to top it all off, the way they're taken for swaying may not be safe and may even possibly cause miscarriage. So it's not something I personally recommend. If you do want to take them, up to you, but just be sure you're not taking aspirin or Sudafed at the same time.
