Was my pH too high after DTD?

[pinkdreamer]

Right, I took my pH after we DTD (I know I shouldn't have lol) but I didn't really worry about it at the time because I didn't really think I would get pg this month. But since getting my BFP I have been stressing that my pH was way too high after the attempt. It was 10 - 10.5, because we could never seem to get DHs pH down below 9 and now I'm thinking maybe this is too alkaline to have helped out the girlie sperm :(

My DH ph is also 9 ! but DHs ph does not matter because it doest Change how much xx or xy there are.

pH doesn't seem to sway, and even if it does just a little, it can't be very much. Here's a link to a great essay on why pH has pretty much been debunked as a swaying technique. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gender-swaying-general-discussion/11684-ph-pickle.html

How are you testing for pH? I swear those cheap little test strips are worthless and I don't even think they're accurate. If that's how you tested, that's probably why you think the # is so high. It probably isn't actually a 10.5.

I suspect my DH had a high pH level, and mine was a bit higher too, but we had a successful girl sway. Don't worry about pH, it will just mess with your T levels. Fingers crossed for a BFP this month and a successful sway for you! Good luck!

Thanks ladies, you have all made me feel so much better about this! Just have a mini meltdown moment there lol ;)

If your DH's pH really is that high you may want to have him visit his doctor to rule out the possibility of an infection. I wouldn't worry about it at all for your sway. Good luck!
