CM PH when you conceived your daughter *Poll*

 Mine was 6.5, almost 7, and I conceived TWO girls!

At ovulation I believe mine went up to about 5.5, but before that I had always been able to keep it around 4 - 4.5.

Forbiddendonut~ I'm so excited to see that your cm ph was out of the girl "zone" and you still conceived girls!!

I have two boys and will ttc a girl next year.  I have been charting for several months and plan to do diet, supps, etc.  BUT the one thing I struggle with is pH.  I dont really know how to check cm ph and the few times I have tried, I always get the same reading (6-6.5).  I dont know if thats just what my ph is, or if I am doing something wrong.      So bc of this, I probably wont be checking my ph, and am just going to hope and pray that with diet and supps, my body will be in the right zone. 

Any thoughts on that?  Did you sway for your girls?

For me, I think it was because I was on Clomid.  It really dried up my CM, so that there was hardly anything there to even check, and no EWCM.  I also did the girl diet, ions, and OWT.  We BD through O to reduce sperm count.  That's about it!  It's definitely possible, but I'm not going to say pH isn't a factor at all.  But, like you, I struggled with pH, so I just let it go and got doubly lucky!  

What about checking pH is giving you trouble?  I always checked the CM straight from my cervix.  Just reach in and grab some straight from the opening.

I've tried that, but it doesnt really seem to be giving me a reading.  I am just using the ph strips, and when I put the cm on them, no change.  I wanted to make sure I was doing it right, so I tested my saliva and I got a reading right away. 

Maybe I am not obtaining enough cm to test? Am I in fact even getting cm?  I know this sounds kind of dumb- but I'm not 100% sure where exactly my cervix is. 

Wish I could be doubly lucky too!  I am planning to use sudafed or zyrtec if I need to dry things up.

 I think I remember reading something about this.  Look up "low ionic strength" in the gender swaying board.  Or maybe there's something on it in the FAQs.  You aren't the first one not to get a reading on the pH strips.  And your cervix is at the very top/back of your vaginal canal.  It's a little nub, maybe an inch in diameter with a hole in the middle.  You will have the most CM right at the hole.  If you can handle something graphic, here are some pictures...

forbiddendonut- thanks so much for sending me that link.  I think I found it! LOL. (not sure if I felt the hole though).

 I really appreciate your help.

 No problem!  But keep trying.  If you're not feeling a hole it might not be the right place!
