Can anyone verify whether its best to avoid swimming pools around ovulation time? I'd imagine the high pH of chlorine might mess up the pH "down there" or am I being too cautious?!

Thanks x

I am not too sure which way chlorine sways at all, but I know it can dry out the skin, so my guess is that it wouldn't do any harm.

Just remember the water you bathe and shower in most likely has chlorine in it... Maybe no where near as much but it Is there

Thanks for the comments. My thinking is that chlorine is similar to bleach (obviously not quite as strong ;) and bleach is alkaline... and chlorinated water gets everywhere when you swim... Not going to risk it just in case!

ingender believes that pools sway blue. I'm not convinced but if it makes you feel like it helps, it's all good.
