Digital pH testers are better than pH strips. http://www.in-gender.com/cs/forums/t/57805.aspx
But if you dont want to use those here is our gallery!! (if you want to add your pics to the gallery please pm them to me)
Ok get out your pH strips and you cameras! We are going to make a pH strip gallery and eventually add it to the FAQ forum. So take your pH strip, test and place it next to you chart and take a pic! Then in the post say what the pH level is. It would be helpful to take a pic of a full range and an alkalive strip in the same pic with there charts next to the test strips. Also say if it is semen, cm or ew (or douche). Also if you have low ionic strength please post those pics as well so other can see it. Thanks!!! If you test it with pH strips post it here!
Low Ionic stregth means your pH does not register on the pH strips due to minerals working to well. it does not effect pH just means you cant get your pH strips to work. If you have LIS buy a digital tester.. these aren't effected by it. Here are pics of LIS:
note that the one strip has cm and one doest.. but they didn't chang at all
PH of 4-4.75

LOL I really did this because I'm hoping people with low ionic stregth posts so others can see what it looks like. But can you edit your posts and add in the pH they are?

OK, you want low ionic strength? You got it. 
Sorry my photos are cruddy. The one in this shot are the pHion strips. The top one is right out of the box and the bottom one is CM. (time lapse is appx. 7-10 minutes) See how they are exactly the same??

I have the wide range strips (they look just like Melissa's), but they rarely change for me. I've been thinking it's low ionic strength for awhile now, but it's so hard to check when there's hardly any cm, lol! I'm going to experiment this month with the strips & my digital tester & see if i can get a reading that way before i have to do something to change my ionic strength. Thanks for doing this Tamara! You're always trying to make things as easy as possible for us, and i appreciate it!

Thanks, that is reassuring. I am hoping that I get it fixed real quick as this is going to be our first month TTC!
