    The update is that I believe more than ever they sway blue and should be avoided.

    The thing is that oral probiotics are not going to help you cure BV if you start them now. Probiotics are not magic remedies, they have to get into your guts, set up shop, start coming out in BMs, and then very slowly grow out and into the VJ. This takes weeks and maybe longer. So you will need to have a cure, probably antibiotic if it is BV, if it's a bad YI they will give you an anti-fungal

    It won't keep you from ovulating.

    No one knows if or how these things sway. If you're going to live 1000 lifetimes of regret if you try and get an opposite, then skip it.

    Well, I think you're having some confusion there because high alkaline is high pH.

    I have not found measuring pH to be at all predictive of sway outcomes. We have had too many opposites with pH strips (myself included, I got a boy with pH of 4-5 that never went up till after I was already pregnant) for me to use them as any kind of guideline.

    Do you mean you believe that probiotics are swaying boy more than ever or bv ?
    The ph strips I used are
    For hot tubs . The bottom measured alkaline which showed high and the second line measured very low ph . This is why I'm confused . I understand alkaline means high ph but it says differently on the strip . Does rephresh help bv ?

    Probiotics have been a strong blue sway for us.

    pH strips are weird that way sometimes.

    RepHResh can help prevent but won't cure (at least not in a timely manner) so you need the antibiotics. RepHresh has a nice little article about it here. Yeast Infection vs. Bacterial Vaginosis | RepHresh

    Sorry I keep adding things to this form ... last night I took an apple
    Cider bath to help the bv and it seemed
    To bring my ph down a bit . this morning I decided to use rephresh .
    Once I used it I remembered I needed to take an opk test and sure enough I got
    My first positive opk this morning �� Of course it come two days early during all of this . We are really wanting to try and conceive this cycle . Is the rephresh also going to affect my fertility . I used rephresh at 8 :15 am this morning and we were hoping to Ttc this afternoon around 1 pm /2 ? Should I wait until later this evening ?
