May ovulate soon, higher PH and didnt do the diet yesterday, to try or not?

Hey, may be ovulating tomorrow or next couple of days as OPK is getting darker and some egg white cm and PH has shot up to mid 6's! We dtd on Monday night around 11pm and PH was high 4's low 5's, so in theory at that time it favoured girl, but now its gone up to the mid 6's will it go to favouring boy or will the cm ph at the time of dtd be the one that counts.

If I can get PH much lower we will try again but hope the sudden high PH hasnt reactiviated the boy sperm and given them an extra nudge! - off to get some acidiphilious later.

Last night I was out for a meal and had leek and pot soup then xmas dinner and pud!! Did have lots of diet coke though and cm is def. more creamy this month

As far as pH goes, I would just stick some RepHresh in there this a.m. and not worry about it (if you've used it before and have had good results) and then DTD tonight. Diet-wise, one day won't hurt things IMHO and I'd go for it anyway but this is something you need to go w/your gut on. I would hate for you to miss this chance and have to go another month on the diet if you don't have to. Not sure if this helps but sending you

Thanks for your reply, I took one of those acidipholis tablets this pm, opk is darker this pm but not quite positive, I tend to ovulate a day after the positive and was hoping to try to get a 2 to 3 day cut off and keep away from fertile cm so am contemplating dtd tonight just in case I get the positive early tomorrow but that would mean only a 5 day abstinance. We are using l.root for OH and literally leaving the sperm just inside the entrance lol so do you think that is enough? I may not actually end up ovulating very soon though, could be between day 17 and 20 which if we dtd tonight could mean having intercourse 4 to 7 days before ovulation........... but if I wait for positive opk it would probably end up with a 6 to 7 day abstinance but 24hours before O, decisions decisions!

Will dtd tonight on cd 13 and hope tomorrow the opk is positive and that gives us a 2 day cut off and hopefully away from ewcm - had tiny amounts but not like the usual amount and mainly creamy.

I would not worry about one off meal at all whatsoever.

Take an antihistamine if you aren't already to dry it up as much as possible, and use some RepHresh. I would TOTALLY still try this month but of course that is your call to make.

There is practically ZERO chance that BD on Monday will get you pg if you ovulate tomorrow or even beyond that.

CM pH can matter in a variety of ways so I really cannot answer your question as you have asked it. CM pH can matter at the time of insemination and then it can matter during the journey and also when sperm hits egg. So it both matters when you DTD, when the egg gets fertilized, and everywhere in between.

Thanks everyone, still not sure if Ive ovulated or about to, forgot to temp this am so did it after going back to bed and it was up in the normal post O temps but it was later in the day. I did have slight spotting a couple of days back so that could have been ovulation spotting but the opk's keep going dark then lighter etc. and havent been a proper positive so Im lost lol.
Will see what the am temp brings tomoz, just got to remember to take it! Think I was in such a deep sleep and the kids slept better so just didnt think, jumped out of bed and got DS.
We dtd last night anyway -just read that sperm would probably not survive past 3 days so if I am due to ovulate later than tomorrow we will have to dtd again around O, I read sperm survived up to 7 days so was basing my last intercourse on that really.

7 days under 100% perfectly ideal circumstances which is very rare.
