Anyone??? I have him on cranberry tablets, but they seem to be doing nothing at all.
Try pure cranberry juice, you can get it at Trader Joe's, my hubby drinks that with a bunch of equal and diet 7-up, he loves it and last time I checked his oh it was 7.2! He also takes 3-4 cranberry supps a day of max strength!
Thanks Emmy, I will try adding the cranberry juice and diet 7up. DH ph is 9.5 and has been for months, the tablets don't seem to be doing anything. Its driving me insane.
Do you put the equal (is that like a sugar substitute) in the drink with the juice and 7up?
Do you think your DH could have an infection of some sort? I'm not sure it's usual for DH's pH to be quite that high.
We use TONS of equal, which is a sugar substitute. The pure cranberry is very very tart.
Thanks Emmy will get some.
Zanacal, people keep saying that but it has been like that for 4 or so months now and he seems fine. I tested him again yesterday and its still 9.5.
Oh ok, it was probably one of your old posts I read it on - sorry!
I think your DH needs to see a doctor because that ~can~ indicate an infection of some sort. Not in every case but it just should be checked out. Even if it's going on for months it should still be checked (no need to mention that you are testing his pH or why, he can just say he has some pain or something like that.) Lest you think I'm just blowing smoke, you can Google it or here is a link to WebMD. http://www.webmd.com/infertility-and...nalysis?page=2Quote:

Atomic- I believe you and I have told him but he won't do anything about it. I am guessing his PH is so high because of the beer he drinks. I won't get him to stop it though. I have got him to cut out salt but I have done the whole how bad it is for you not the fact that it is bad for ttcing a girl.
We have always gotten pregnant first month of trying even with a 3.5 day cutoff so if this time it takes longer I will be telling him to get himself there and stop being such a man. This is the first time I have ever tested his ph though. I wish he was more into the diet etc. He will take the pills etc if I give them to him to take and will drink diet lemonade etc (especially if thats all I buy LOL)
Thanks for your help
