This is what I have read as well...

I think a lot of doctors do not take CM seriously enough...

It took me an entire year to conceive DD#2...was never even asked by a doctor how my CM was (and it was pretty much nonexistent when I paid attention to it after reading TCOYF)...

I used preseed and got pregnant on the FIRST TRY!!!!!!!!!

ITs only for 12 hours or so they put up a fight to get to where they need to be. The pH begins to kill them off or weaken at that point.
At least thats what I tell my students Chat Icon (bio teacher)

I had read about the same thing. something like 3 days before you ovulate to increase your chances for a girl.
