Excellent news Charlie!

Deaks, I see your point about PH I have a feeling mine is going to peak at ovulation, not sure what Id do then. Planned to use replens but no idea what that will do as havent used it yet.

Do all your PH readings change? I can test mine on one sample and get a high 5 reading, then test another and get a high 4.......

I did a big cheat today, McDonalds chicken burger and chips and diet coke! Did have unsalted chips though......... but Im not ovulating till 4 weeks away. And around then I have one evening out where Im having, soup, chocolate and then chocolate yule! Hope the one offs dont effect the PH too much, I will hardly eat on the rest of those days to compensate.
Does baby asprin always lower PH? Just feels like the first 2 days on diet PH was lower then I took baby asprin and folic acid and its a bit higher.

Kell - infection sounds nasty! What started it?

Yes my readings change. If i get creamy cm the reading is always 4.1-4.6 somewhere but if there is any ew mixed in closer to ov then my readings can be much higher!

Hi everyone, dont know if you's remember me, I was on the very first smog thread on ig, I did join plumlily but never posted much and gender swaying was taking up all my time and thoughts, so had abit of time out, enjoying the family that I have, am still unsure if I do want to ttc again. But the other day while clearing out cupboards, I came across all the things I bought for ttc, so went to go on ingender (still couldnt get on lol), couldnt get on plumlily either and came across here
Maybebaby, I see your are now pregnant, that is fantastic news, never met you but when I read that I was soooo happy for you
Indigo, hope your doing well, are you ttc?
Tlm, hope you and your family are doing good, your little princess , must be getting big now x

OF course I remember you, how are you and your family ? Are you going to sway ? My princess is getting big now she is 17mths time really flies!!

Everybody's pH will go up around ovulation and it's only the pH of your fertile cm (usually EWCM) that matters. The normal vaginal secretions you get for the rest of the month are designed to be at around 4.5 anyway - that's why Replens/Rephresh etc. which are designed for treating BV work by keeping pH at 4.5, because that's what the body should do naturally anyway.

But you see i cant get rid of the ewcm, whereas a lot of swayers find they don't really have any. I still have tons 10 months in!! But i will use something like refresh eventually if i don't get pg!

Yeah I tend to get alot and seems to be all the way through! Turns to creamy at 0+12 but a day later goes back to a creamy but stretchy style!
My readings are still high, 5.7's this evening, hope they come down in time, will trial replens soon and see what that does

Charlie I also measured a couple days behind at my first scan and then at my dating scan they put changed my dates again meaning that I would have convceived before my smiley on the digital ovulation test so they cant be that amazingly accurate ?!

Ingelwood yay for possibly finding out the gender in two weeks very exciting and you bump seems tiny still, you def have two cuties in there!!

My creamy is also quite stretchy sometimes. I think thats mainly because there is a lot of it. Im hoping this means im fertile though as my fear is that im not and so swaying is hopeless!

threelittlemen, what timing did you use for your dd?

Inglewood ~ yay for your update! so happy to hear your scan went well! i bet it was amazing to see your 2 little babies on the screen love the pictures and what a cute bump you've got so exciting! 2 weeks isn't long either, fx for pink beans!

pinkprincess85 ~ I remember you welcome back! when is your first attempt? how about rice cakes or baking yoghurt scones to eat as a snack if you're really hungry between meals? or strawberries/raspberries?

Lavenderlime ~ glad to hear the yoghurt scones turned out alright I loved them when i was on the diet and i keep meaning to bake some

Babymad ~ sorry to hear you're still suffering MS but yay for dating scan! that's come around quick!
