Yikes! DH's pH is only 7.7!

[Hobbermittens]

What can I do to raise it? I probably should have checked before, but I just did it last night. Should he do all the things I am doing, like the BS drink?

That is high normal and I would not worry about it. He can do BSD if he wants to, but honestly I would be fine with that pH.

It's probable that very high pH is actually bad for sperm. pH in the 7's is optimal.

Hobber I second Atomic (as if that is necessary, LOL!) but really, I wouldn't fret about his pH at all. It's a good healthy one for him. I know I'm not the only one around here who thinks it but I just don't see much in the pH research that makes me believe it matters. I guess if his was BELOW normal I'd worry.

The interesting thing to me about all the IG sways is with the fact that they "require" 5 of 7 factors for your sway to in fact, be a SWAY, it's hard to know what REALLY matters. For me to believe pH works, I'd need to see sways based on that alone. It could very well be that you throw out pH and every single one of those boy sways that worked, still would have worked. It's obviously just my personal opinion, but it seems to me that if there is a natural mechanism in our bodies that triggers a favorable environment to one gender or the other, that natural mechanism would be tripped by very natural causes. Like ... no big shock, our diets. If we have to resort to relatively artificial measures (like BSF, BSD, etc) to "change" something, well, IMO, that isn't really changing your body at the core. It's faking it. BSF (which I know wasn't your Q) changes things for a matter of hours. I don't think that can nearly be as effective as those women who actually had a pH change based on weight changes or dietary changes. I guess I don't believe faking it will do nearly as much as naturally creating the change. All that said I did a BSF 1 hour before DTD

SO ... all that to say, my thought is if you want to try to get his pH up, maybe he could cut out acidic things? Eat a more alkaline diet?

He can drink BS if he want to .So if you like his pH higher give him that. But 7.7 is ok . My DH was 7.9 this week. Last time was 8.2 so it's not always the same anyway. I will check toning again but Im fine with this numbers.
The boys are in there, right?

[Zivic-Bubac]

My DH's pH is 8 and I'm not happy with that. He is not swaying, just swallowing supps I'm giving to him lol!

[cemas]

My DH's PH is also always between 7.8 to max 8.2....sometimes..never higher.
and he does do bds drink too.

It is good to know my DH is in the same range as a lot of other DHs. I just remember reading a post (can't remember whose now) that said their DH had a pH of 10! I thought we were aiming high like that. Glad we don't have to, because honestly, I think my DH would rather wear a tutu to work than drink the BS drink.

Hobber that was Zanacal and she is ttc girl! So she is not happy with pH 10 !
I tested last night and DH pH was 8.4 Im ok with that.
But it was funny when I put the meter in the cup it was lower and when I took it out it was higher. No clue why but i took the highest number lol.

Oh, that's right! I can see why Zanacal would not want a pH of 10.

With your Hanna, do you calibrate it each time you use it? Or do you just take it out of the box and test with it? Do you rinse it in water first to take off the storage solution?

I only calibrate it once a week. And I don't even have storage solution just cleaning one lol so i put some of that in the cup (or water) and store it like that. Rinse it after use that's it.
