    measuring pH

    So my digital pH meter (Hanna Instruments) just arrived- got it calibrated, etc. But I'm wondering...it seems like I will need lots of vaginal fluids to actually get a reading...what's the best way to use of one these? Advice ladies?

    If you don't get a lot then you could put in a diva cup or instead cup for a couple hours. You can also try squeezing a little out with 2 fingers. A tiny amount can still be measured.

    Read this about air exposure to CM and its affect on pH. As long as you are getting up there and getting CM at your cervix and not waiting too long, it should be accurate.

    Just reach up and get some cm, and if you have the white hannah, put it on the bulb, if you have the red one you'll need a q tip to put the cm on. I like the white one way better, even though it breaks more easily, it's much easier to use in my opinion
