cranberry pills & sperm

BoobiesMcGee · November 2010

Uh, not sure if this is weird - but I haven't found anything great googling so I thought that I would try here. I take about 300mg of cranberry pills every morning so that I can prevent bladder & kidney infections, which I am prone to due to a medical condition. Anyways, my DH claims that I am creating an acidic environment for his wee men and thereby killing all sperm, or at least the boy ones (which is what we are trying for this time around.) Anyone ever hear of anything related to any of this?

staycee · November 2010

really?

Anasara · November 2010

Are you shoving said pills up your vag? If not, I wouldn't worry about it. I've never heard of such a thing creating an acidic enough environment to kill sperm.

gidge · November 2010

So you're saying that the real concern is that you'll have another girl?

BoobiesMcGee · November 2010

Thanks for the laugh - it's amazing how for once his sperm aren't super!

BoobiesMcGee · November 2010

I don't mind having another girl; he would like a mini-me though since I have one I guess. Don't all men?!? I'm actually more concerned about getting pregnant at all - we're not having much success.

I'm confused.

Define "not having much success". Do you mean "We've been trying for 2 years" or "we've been trying for 2 weeks"? Although I think I already know the answer.

It's been 5 months of TTC. Prior to having DD, I had a miscarriage at 12 weeks. I'm terrified, but really don't want to overthink everything that I do for fear of going crazy.

MandyBrownNoser · November 2010

So why did you decide this board exactly?

BoobiesMcGee · November 2010

Sorry, didn't know that it was an exclusive club that required an initiation ceremony followed by insensitive remarks. I was simply looking for some witty comments & useful advice from women in the same situation. I thought that T-TTC was an acronym for Trouble Trying To Conceive. If not, then this is not the forum for me. If so, then I was perfectly fine to post here, but was unaware of the clique. I'm here in tears while you're all up on your high horse. Seriously, what does it matter that's it's been 5 months or 5 days since TTC. I want none of this if this is how you support eachother.

5 months =/= T-TTC

oppposition =/= opposition

Wait wait, hold up.

1. This is not an exclusive club, and I've never seen an initiation ceremony. We've actually had some newbies come on here and actively post in recent weeks. We've treated them nicely, if a bit distantly, until we get to know them better. Kind of like a cocktail party. If you lurked, you'd know that.

2. If you want witty and useful advice, try introducing yourself before asking such a moronic question (and before you get your panties in a wad, I didn't call you moronic, not your question).

3. no one made insensitive remarks. They asked how long you had been TTC, and why you had chosen to ask your question here (because we've had some people post on the wrong board recently).

4. The definition of TTTC is 6 months of trying without success over 35, and a year under 35. 5 months is nothing, especially if you bother to look at some of the tickers on this board. Yes you had a m/c, and I'm sorry for your loss, but I couldn't divine that from your question.

5. If you are in tears over this, message boards in general are not for you. There are people from all regions and all walks of life, some of whom tell it like it is and will flat out tell you if you post a wacky question. Which is exactly what happens.

6. If you're concerned about the cranberry pills, discuss it with your doctor. Since it's in pill form, I highly doubt the cranberry is going to change your body chemistry enough to give you a systemic decrease in pH, especially the (fairly) low dosage that most people take. But a medical professional should be able to put your fears to rest, at least better than a bunch of random strangers on the Internet.

7. And if your DH is that concerned, maybe he should discuss it with his dr, or do some research before he makes such a moronic conclusion with no evidence to back it up.

GL!

Shame on you, that is not very nice to say. Grow up. I am here to defend the innocent people. And for the record your vagina CAN create an acidity that repels sperm...!

It's true. My theory is actually that my uterus is so full of bitter, it's spread to my vagina and made my vag so toxic it killed DH's sperm production. I'm actually kind of surprised that the dildo cam doesn't completely disintegrate after exposure.

Who are you to come in here and tell me how to respond? I bet she has learned something. Like how not to just walk into a room and talk non-sense to an audience she knows nothing about.

And for the record, your vagina isn't going to create an acidity environment from taking 300mg of cranberry pills. Maybe in the bladder if you consumed too much cranberry juice.

You do realize how ridiculous you sound, right? The audience? Seriously, this is the internet, you girls need to chill out. I guess I should take my own advice and stop caring because you obviously don't care. At least get a good laugh out of people's questions and stop taking them so seriously and so personally offensive!

You don't make any sense. First you are here "to protect the innocent" (which considering your comprehension skills, the "innocent" would be better off without you) and then when someone actually gives them good advice, you say we are taking things too seriously. Your one and only purpose is to stir up shiit. I really don't care if you leave, but you are seriously boring me to tears. If you really want to make waves, come up with something more interesting. Last point, the board is called SNARKY. If we blew puppies and rainbows up everyone's ass, we might as well choose a different board.

Ooooh! And I just remembered, I think the block function works again!!! Squeeee!

No one here is laughing at people's questions. The only one here getting offensive is you. If anyone needs to chill out, it's you. I don't go around on boards that I don't frequent and tell them how it works. You shouldn't either.

Go brush your hair.
