All my SU ladies....help!!!

So, just checked my ph...af is just finishing up today (IYKWIM) and my ph is 3.6!!!  So, I was wondering...if, at the time of my next attempt and my ph is low....should I do SU and skip tbm?  I am doing a 4 day cutoff this time and I am thinking that maybe my ph is so low right now and has been for awhile that the lime is totally making this not happen for me.  If I do that and then my ph raises, I can always douche then to bring it down and then use a lime tampon for 4 hours if needed.  What do you all think?  SU...4 day cut-off....diva cup....douche if need be after attempt/lime tampon....this is if my ph continues to be so low. 

OR

???SUGGESTIONS?????? 

So, just checked my ph...af is just finishing up today (IYKWIM) and my ph is 3.6!!! 

that pH is TO LOW!  if it stays that way get coral calcium.  this is the only calcium that will raise pH 

So, I was wondering...if, at the time of my next attempt and my ph is low....should I do SU and skip tbm? 

yes but first you may want to raise your pH with either a milk douche or plain yogurt then deside after that 

 I am doing a 4 day cutoff this time and I am thinking that maybe my ph is so low right now and has been for awhile that the lime is totally making this not happen for me.  If I do that and then my ph raises, I can always douche then to bring it down and then use a lime tampon for 4 hours if needed.  What do you all think?  SU...4 day cut-off....diva cup....douche if need be after attempt/lime tampon....this is if my ph continues to be so low. 

your pH is to low to get pg.  try swiching your calcium supplment to coral calcium

I knew it!!!  I do think that it was the CL I have been drinking though.  I am going to give it a few days then test again.  I have never been that low but my ph does stay in the low 4's....so do you think that maybe I should do SU, leave out the lime and then douche after if and when ph jumps up over 5?  My dh's ph has been pretty low too...7-7.5.  So, maybe with all that lime my spermies are not surviving every month.  So, is that too risky?  I just dont know what else to do!   I want a girl....not to just get pregnant.  If that was the case, I would have probably caved already, but I know that I have to stick to this, but I just feel something may be off and preventing me from getting pregnant!

get your pH up to at least a 4, if not a 4.5.  then do su with no tbm.  incert su then test pH 5 mintues after and lower if needed

Thanks Tamara.....I think that this sounds like a plan unless my ph goes higher, but so far these last 6 months my ph is pretty consistant in the low 4's.  I think that the lime is hindering all of this right from the start I think that the lime douche after might be better and after all I am really not cutting the lime out...just not inserting it right away.  Maybe 5 mins after....but then I have the Diva cup in place, which the lime douche will probably slide down into the cup from my vj and keep the sperm ph lower anyways, right?  Should I get that ferning scope?  Anyone?

I dont think its the lime that is not letting you get pg, i think its your low pH.  you can not get pg with a pH less than 4 and my guess is it is droping to low when your not looking

That is what I was thinking too!  So, is my plan good or do you suggest something else?  See I dont want to raise my ph only to bring it down again.  I dont want my ph to go higher than 5, so that is why I was thinking do SU, then check after insertion...if ph above 5 (which it probably will be with dh's sperm at 7-7.5, so then insert lime douche (3ml....of ds/lime ph of 2) and then check every 30 mins for 4 hrs.  After 4hrs....if ph is low do nothing if ph is 5 and above insert lime tampon.  Does that sound good?  Is it best to soak lime tampon for 30 mins before insertion.  I did it for 2 hrs and it was so saturated!  I kept it in the plastic too!!

i cant remember are you you doing cut off or o+12

Doing a long cutoff....my ph is lower than I thought.  Just checked it and it is 3.2!!!  OMG!!  What is going on.   Do you think it will raise by O time or should I take coral calcium now?  I am not too keen on coral calcium, does it have any effects other than raising ph?  Or should I be ok because once I do O and I insert sperm, my ph will jump up, right?

maybe cut out aspertame first?  if that doesnt work switch to coral calcium.  it is just like normal calcium but is alkaline
