TBM w/ lime Q for Tamara

Hi Tamara, I want to try TBM with lime to ttc a girl and I have a few questions.  The FAQ says one study concluded that doing a vinegar douche one hour before was critical for TBM.  Would you do the vinegar douche even if your pH was already low just to get the acetic acid in there?  Maybe use less if pH is already low?

The link from the TBM method in the extreme sway book says this about the vinegar douche: “An hour before you need it take your vinegar out and add powered calcium (600mg) into vinegar.  Let sit for one hour.  Then right before you need it add 2-3 drops of distilled water (not very much) to activate the radical acids.” How much 7% vinegar do you start with before you add the powdered calcium? 

Can I crush up 600mg of calcium citrate tablets?

Also, I was thinking of inserting the splime with a syringe and lying with hips propped but I have seen ladies do TBM with a diva cup.  Then I saw a comment on an old thread that said pH spiked up when using a diva cup.  Do you recommend diva cup or no diva cup for TBM with lime?

I'm sorry to ask another question but there is one more important thing that I have wondered about.  If you do recommend using a cup why not use the Instead cup rather than the Diva cup?

I know the Diva cup sits further from the cervix and the sperm would have to swim further in the acidic vj but if you are adding lime and freezing the tails of the boy sperm and that is only effective for a short time wouldn't you want the sperm to get past the cervix quicker and give the girls time to make it to the egg before the boys unfreeze? 

Also, the Instead cup is cheaper and can be purchased at a local retail store so would it be okay to use the Instead cup?  Thank you so much for your help.  There are several ladies planning to ttc this summer that are interested in TBM with lime.  I think TBM sounds perfect but hasn't been used as much in the past as natural so we're hoping to change things up and get lots of baby girls!

make sure vinegare douche doesn't raise your pH.  In some women it does.  If it does not then yes just put  a little up there bfeore if your pH is already low

diva cup would not make pH go up.  You can use the diva and it will help get pg
