How to check pH for DH and DW

[rainbowflower]

I'd say probably not unless you have anything on your fingers such as hand lotion or deodorant or something. The strips generally react to things which soak into them, and so this would be the CM and so you'd get the pH of your CM

Thank you for your reply. That makes a lot of sense.

which PH strips are the best to use?

[atomic sagebrush]

I liked the pHion brand but any of the ones that go from 4.5 up to 10 are good.

That is the kind I bought off Amazon yesterday! I am glad I got the ones you like, 'cause I know I will like them too. I have a Hannah digital tester, that I cannot find after our move, but I never could get it to calibrate right or use it correctly so many the strips will work better? Do you have any suggestions on how and when to use the strips. I have a Diva cup so I could get CM that way? Also how do you test your DH's sample? I hear you have to wait longer to read them than you do with reg CM because of the fluid concentration?

I am not sure about waiting...sometimes they like to complicate things on other sites. I never waited.

You're commenting on a thread that started out with an essay on how to check pH...I think most of the q's are answered in the original essay at the beginning of this thread.
