Can't believe this....

[HopeandDreamG]

I just dropped my Hannah tester in the sink that still had water in it and it is DEAD....AHHHHHHHH...... I should get my smiley Sunday and its Thanksgiving. If I order it on line I won't have it till Monday or Tuesday. I should O Tuesday or Wednesday. Should I order it anyway????? Can't seem to find it at a local retail store. Don't trust/like ph test strips.
HELP......

oh no!
in what way were you using it for your sway? could you get hold of some RepHresh for this cycle as a one off?

if you were going to use it to check pH after BDing, remember that most swimmers are into the cervix within 5-15mins anyway so douching post-BD might not be highly effective anyway

HopeandDream. Pop it in a bag of rice somewhere warm over night the rice should pull out all the moisture and hopefully it'll work again!

This worked for my mobile(cell).

Hope this helps.

PS GL for your attempt!!!

Rainbow~ I am going to use rephresh 12 hrs before, but I like checking my ph before and after DTD but good to know swimmers are there 5-15 mins anyway. Our combined ph has been low and I was only going to add like a finger tip of rephresh afterward bc I really don't want to sway for months on end.

Lavender~ Thanks for the tip. I will try!

Do you think I should order another for Monday/Tuesday?

IT WORKS!!! YAY . Took out batteries, aired it out, used the blow dryer a little and it worked after awhile. Recalibrated this am! WooHOO

Oh that's great!

But just to echo Rainbow, the sperm are gone out of reach quite soon after BD and so some of the advice given on other sites to check pH frequently for hours after BD, is really pretty pointless. If you use some RepHresh before, it will combine with your husband's semen to lower its pH quite effectively, no need to use more afterwards (that's the great thing about RepHresh!!!)
