4.5 ph..... Mom of 4 boys,,,

Ok so the dh and I are going to start our girl sway next month and I have been testing my ph. Its already at 4.5 so I am wondering would I still do the lime douche/tampon??

As long as your testing your ewcm (Pre o) & it's 4.5 I wouldn't douche, check your ph after dtd as dh sperm can raise yours & so can having the big O, if it's less than 5 don't do tampon but if it is higher, test every 1/2 hour n do 1 ml lime douche or aci jel/replens etc to keep it down.... It's a personal choice really & what u feel comfortable with.. I've been dieting for 3 weeks or so n my ph threw O didn't go over 5, so if it's the same before our attempt next month I won't douche before I'll use sylk as lube & take sudafed an hour before, & check my ph regularly after bd, if its rising I'll do aci jel & cran juice, cl, to try get it down but if it's really high I'll be doing 1ml lime when needed:) gl x

I agree, I would just watch your ph..mine stayed in like a 4.75-5..but did raise as ovulation approached.

my ph is also around 4.5, but it does go up around o and EWCM is up to 6! Make sure you keep measuring as a PH at 4.5 is extremely unlikely and low without doing anything for it xxx

So after we dtd ny ph was 6.0 and dh has a high 9.5.. I have a lot of work to do for a girl....
