    PH of CM 2.6-is this normal?

    I tested my pH shortly afte my pd, and then yesterday, and it was in the 5s. Today I started to get creamy CM- it's day 10 of my cycle. I tested this CM with my Hanna twice today, (made sure it was calibrated) and it is 2.6. I know as the EWCM approaches it will go higher, so should I just keep monitoring and see what happens? I don't know how much pH matters, but I know if it is too low sperm might have trouble surviving, and I am not planning to TTC until July. Maybe the acidifying diet is working too well, or I just need to ignore my pH levels until around O? Anyone else get readinging this low before? TIA!

    It's so odd, I tested it tonight and then it 6.1? (calibrated the machine-wiped it off), then I did it again (redid the buffer with a 4.01) and I got a 3.3, and then I cleaned it off again and it went back to 6.1. Perhpas I am not testin correctly. Or my battery is low.

    I've had a couple of strange readings today, I'll try to start cleaning it off regularly with the actualy cleaning solution, no idea why it would be doing this, thanks!

    That's the lowest reading I've ever heard of. It should go up around O.
