Foods that raise or lower OH's pH

[GeCon]

Hi,

I read that semen pH responds very quickly to foods and drinks consumed. Are there any foods in particular that raise or lower OH's pH, so we can see if they affect OH and if necessary avoid them?

Thanks.

I don't know for sure, but my DH had a very high pH when I tested it so I had him lay off the orange juice (which he LOVES!) and start drinking coke (regular, he won't drink diet) and he had a little cranberry juice too.

GeCon, I never tested DH's pH but I would start w/the same things that would lower our pH...Off the top of my head, I think aspartame, cran and low dose aspirin would help (?)... GL!

Yep, what they said!

Some people have had success with Sudafed for their DH. I don't happen to like Sudafed because of dangerous side effects (causing strokes in young women taking large doses for several days while on blood thinners - so the exact same circumstances we use for swaying caused stroke), but it does seem to be safer for men than for women.

Sudafed worked wonders on hubby a few months ago.

How mch does OH need to take and how often?

Have him take the dosage on the box an hour or two before BD. DO NOT have him take it for many days in advance of attempting and if you're going to attempt for several days in a row, you might even want to give him half-doses for the early attempts and reserve the full dose for O-1, O Day, and O+1.
