GL!

Good luck :))

Thank you! The 2 WW begins - trying to distract myself and not make myself crazy! I am NOT going to test until 12/5 but feel certain that I may know that I am prior to that based on my experiences/symptoms in past pregnancies. I know every one is different but for me, I have had similar symptoms every time (2 full term, 2 m/c). Will keep you all updated!! Fingers crossed and pink dust to everyone who is trying and/or waiting!! And thank you again ladies for your input - it seems I was so stressed about something pretty trivial!!

I think I was so stuck on that b/c everyone on IG kept saying has to be 4.5 or below!

They have no idea what they are talking about. Studies have shown that with pH below 6, there are no motile sperm in the repro tract - no X, no Y. Low pH kills sperm, that's why both EWCM and semen have pH in the 7's. The reason why they can get pg with pH that is allegedly that low is because semen doesn't mix very well with water and it creates a bit of a buffer that protects some of the sperm from the low pH, until it makes it into the EWCM and beyond, where all pH is higher than that of the vagina
