pH just before AF..

[Flava]

Right now Im just on diet and drinks.Not ACV and BS and so , just juice, v8, lemon water, green tea.
But back when I was ttc blue and got DD4 I was drinking all that too and nothing really helped my ph up.
So I would like to see changes in the ph just to know this diet and all helps me .
When I read that it works for others I think there is something wrong with me? Or I can't have changes and can't get a boy ? really I just want some kind of proof I guess that this whole thing works for me ...It's easy to say don't worry about it and so , but I already swayed real good once and I have 4 girls! Im scared... that I can't have a boy.

I understand that fear, I really do! Do you have a digital tester? What about trying wheat grass tablets too?

[Flava]

I read here that wheat grass taste so bad .So you can take it in tablets? This is for the ph ? Where can I get it?
Oh I have a digital just got it like a week ago.

Hey I got a digital too and here is how I use it lol
If you have lot's of CM just put some at you fingertip and push it under the meter ( I have this red Hanna) the CM just have to touch this little reader at the end of the meter. If I only have a little CM I use something like toothpick or Q-tip .Put CM on it and hold it to the ph meter to read it.
Just try it and you figure it out it's not hard to do.

That's sound easy, I will try, but I am just so confused about all these numbers when I trun it on ..also do you have to use the buffer solutions every week? and do you have to calibrate it every week too? Sorry to sound dumb, but I found it hard and too much to do That's why I use the pH strips easier, but I know that the digital more accurate than pH strips.

Wheat grass – Raises pH, improves egg quality, loaded with nutrients. I think I am going to add to my supplements

Vitamin shoppe sales wheat grass in tablets. I just checked online.

I bought the wheatgrass tablets, too! You have to take TEN for one dose, LOL, but they are easy to get down. The powder isn't bad when mixed into a smoothie but I just have an easier time taking pills.

Flava I hear ya on the pH not budging. Mine is still VERY acidic most months. I got it to a 6 one month and that is the highest ever for me, most months I am 4.5 or 5 on the pH strips with my CM :-( I know for sure, without a doubt, that I have dramatically changed my diet from when I got pg with my girls, but I don't see any change in the CM pH and like you, that does give me some concerns. I just keep trying to remember how many people got boys in spite of low pH. But still, I'd rather see mine get up to even just what Atomic says is "normal" around O, like a 6.5 or 7!

I was just thinking today about getting a digital but I too feel like they are so complicated!

Yep you sure can get it in tablet! It is loaded with nutrients and is very alkaline!! I got mine from a health food shop (I am in Australia, though).

They are SO easy! I only got mine last week and only wish I got one sooner! xx

[Flava]

fab I don't think you have to calibrate it every week .I guess it depends how often you use it? Maybe some one can help with this Q?
Don't worry about the number when you turn it on just after the test.
I can't use the ph strips because it wont change color for me.

Tnx about the wheat grass tablet! We have to take 10??? So how many dose /day? It's there any other vitamin in it or just wheat grass?

begonia Im sorry about the ph! It's making me crazy ! Like why mine is not changing??? And sure so many woman's with low ph got boys , but then lots of them only got boys. Just like here most boy moms complaining about high ph and they also only got boys.I don't know...
Im thinking maybe ph alone don't matter but with everything else together high ph works better to get pregnant with a boy?I don't know
