    So, I dropped the ph part and had one attempt last night, looks like I'll O today, well when I was checking my cervix today I got a good glob of EWCM so for curiosity I used one of the pH strips I still had in the bathroom. It was like emerald there is no emerald on the color chart, but it was closest to like 9, possibly even 10. Way too dark for 7.. it's possible it was both CM and semen being we BD last night..but is that bad? or should I consider it a good thing if sperm don't like high or low pH and that's pretty high so would reduce survival and sway pink. I just worry it'll kill too many and I won't get a BFP

    I honestly would not worry about it one bit. I have seen SOOO many pH opposites, both blue to pink and pink to blue, that it is just impossible for me to believe in it any more.

    Re it being too high and killing all the sperm, the sperm are long gone up inside the safety of your cervix now and your body knows what it is doing - I would bet that up inside your cervix, uterus and tubes, there is a very nice pH level going on.

    Thank you That makes me feel better. I took Clomid this cycle and it did something weird to my pH I think, so that had me worried. I kind of have yeast infection like symptoms, but no smell, just kind of a burning sensation and a bit of itchiness after wiping. I tried an OTC cream and turns out I'm allergic, by day 3 using it that was painfully clear lol so I tried yogurt and no change. Not even sure it is yest cause I've never had a YI before. I planned to just wait and see if the natural shift in pH from O would clear things up.

    It probably is from the semen as well as your EWCM. I think that if you don't have any vaginal discomfort, it's probably okay and not too toxic for sperm.

    My Ovulation Chart
    currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP

    TTC #1 - swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!

    Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
    Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after removìng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic

    Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
    My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
    Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period
