Why can we not insert the test probe inside the vagina, after a thorough clean that is? Is it because of germs/storage and calibrating solutions could be harmfull if traces got in us or is it something else? Just curious!:wink:

I can't see why you can't, as long as it's cleaned and dried so there is no damage to it.
I don't know...I think because we suppose to test the CM sample from the cervix so we reach up and get some CM from there and test that because CM pH in the V is lower or something like that.
But your finger would get some off the vj on the way in and out anyway hey?
You can, but there is risk that you will contaminate the sample on the way in. Plus, please be very very careful not to injure yourself!!!Quote:

Just to make sure everyone knows this, I really really don't want people actually manipulating their cervix to get CM. I know this is what they tell you to do on other sites but it is possible to injure your cervix and/or cause an infection.Quote:

Really? Gosh would never do that... and I decided not to insert the probe lol was too scared of injury!
I don't know how to "manipulate" the cervix ? But I also have no clue how can we injure our self just because we get some cm with 1 small finger? At least I have no problem to reach in and get some cm. Don't know about others of course.Quote:
