    What a relief thanks for another excellent essay atomic. I cant check my own ph and sure wasn't looking forward to turning into a mad scientist checking my husbands. I doubt he would let me anyway.

    I never looked at the Shettles Method as a Ph thing, for me it was girl sperm do live longer and the further you put out sex from the O the more likely there will be female sperm to fertilize the egg. I thought it was proven that females outlive the males? Did I hear wrong?

    Yep, it's been totally debunked 100% and has been for decades. X and Y sperm are about the same size, live the same amount of time, swim about the same speed, etc. (and Tamara will verify this as well.) You can read more about that here http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...le-timing.html and here http://genderdreaming.com/forum/scie...m-y-sperm.html

    Once timing was debunked in terms of sperm lifespan, the IG site started claiming timing worked because of differences in pH that occured in CM and that changes in CM occured for every person at the same rate of time every month. I do not believe that the facts support that which is partially what this essay was addressing.

    I tried messing with my ph one cycle and got bacteria vaginosis. Bleh! BC and a week on antibiotics convinced me to just leave it alone.

    Good point!!! BV is worse than yeast and now there are some types that are antibiotic resistant and impossible to get rid of.

    wonderful essay, atomic! thank you so much

    I only have a question, what about DH´s ph? is that important? I tested my DH sample and it was around 9 (it was with cheap ones, so "around" , never exact colours)
    Is it good to sway pink? Should I give him cranberry to low it? Will be better to give him antihistamines to thickness the sperm and just forget the ph?

    I don't think it makes any difference what his pH is, I think it matters how many sperm are in there and how healthy they are. Sperm have a pretty narrow range of survival - they really do best in pH 7-8 and don't like high or low pH.

    I think cranberry certainly can't HURT. Some people have reported that giving their husband Sudafed (pseudoephedrine) has lowered their pH and made their semen thicker which may help your sway. Women shouldn't take Sudafed but men seem to tolerate it better.

    Sometimes guys with high pH (9 and up) have an infection in their testicles that is bad for their sperm and there are some scary, but rare, things that can cause high pH too. I would test him a couple more times and if his pH stays high, he may need to see a doctor to find out why his pH is so high.

    I wish I had read this before I bought my ph tester! I'm one of those with very low ionic strength and very little cm. it's been terrible trying to get any reading and I've given up on it for the moment so am so glad to come across this. I'll still use rephresh and acigel but not going to test ph. What a waste of $$ :P hopefully my son can use it in his experiments next time lol.
