Was the room cooler than normal? Eg. AC running?

Actually yes the AC was running.... the room didn't feel cooler than usual though.
Yes he has... although he does take a break from the diet during the 2ww. So pretty much, 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off.

Thank you Babybobadoo. I had it in a glass jar... and the temp in the room was room temp... about 72F. Do you think this could indicate a problem with DH's sperm since it appeared to die so quickly?? We've been trying for 6 months.... could this be the reason?
ETA: I just realized that when I tested it was after a 7 day abstain.... co...

I would go with your CM moreso than your cervix or opk's.... your O+12 was probably around the time cm turned creamy.

I googled it and I found a bunch of different answers! I am asking b/c in trying to examine DH's sperm under the microscope for the first time, at first glance I saw a ton of sperm swimming around.... then I started playing around with the microscope settings etc.... and soon noticed that very few of the little guys were swimming anymore. I guess it had been about 1...

Yes, Aci-jel can raise pH in some people as well.

I am on my 6th month of ttc, each month using Sylk, which has been the only constant. I am starting to wonder if it is what is preventing me from getting pg, so I am trying this month without.

The active ingredient in Crystal Light that lowers pH is asparatame. Drinking pure cranberry juice helps to bring my DH's pH down fairly quickly. What suppliments is he on? He might be taking something that is actually raising his pH as well (for ex, acidopholus can raise pH in some). Good luck!

Canola oil is a pH of 7, and I've read on here that it's ok as it does not sway. But how would you measure your pH after using canola oil since it would probably measure high from the canola oil? I have not tested it out yet, I am just assuming that it would make my pH then go to a 7 as well, right?

Bump! I'm wondering about this too. I think the Sylk is preventing me from getting pregnant so I'm looking to change lubes.

I just looked it up on fitday.com, and turkey actually has much less sodium than chicken, but it does have a lot more potassium. It's not overboard though... 247mg of potassium per 3oz. Is there any other reason we can't eat turkey? Hormones perhaps? I'd be interested to know this as well.

Because it's like a magnet.... opposites attract. We want our ovum to be positively charged, therefore by exposing it to negative ions around us, we hope to postively charge the ovum. The positive ovum will then attract the negative sperm. This is why ions are only important for us and not our husbands. Does that help?

You are not supposed to as on it's way up it can collect cm that's not at the cervix which can have a lower pH. However this is the only way that I can get a reading so this is what I do.

I'm sorry, I know this has been asked before but I am having trouble finding a definite answer. I start doubling up my cranberry supps a few days before O and I'm wondering whether I should continue to take them the day of O or should I stop on +ve OPK day? Since I am taking double the dosage I don't want to continue taking it if it will be dangerous on O day...
Thanks!

It depends on what your pH is at and where you are in your cycle. If you are close to O and your pH usually rises at that time then I'd put a bit more and / or make it a bit weaker. Otherwise you may not need it at all as you don't want your pH to go too low. I'd start with maybe 1ml and then add from there if need be. I think I am going to use that tonight as I O tomorrow ...

You need to record your temps for FF to give you your ovulation date. 3 days after your temp increase, it will give you crosshairs (coverline and on O date). It will not predict O for you, but give you confirmation after the fact.HTH!

Ponytails please, do you find that the vinegar raises your pH but aci-jel doesn't? I thought they would have the same affect?
