Has anyone ever experienced really long menstral periods whilst swaying for a girl?

Hi just to let you know I stopped bleeding yesterday - the third day of no cranberry supplements - would it happen that quickly? X

I think it absolutely could (but of course your period was due to end anyway so may just be a coincidence). I'm so thankful that you stopped bleeding...if you do choose to do cran in future, you may want to start off taking one every two days and see how you tolerate that.

Thanks for all your help. I am not sure that I will and dh really doesn't want me too - just need to find something else to lower my ph as it's crept back up! Thanks again

Does aspartame work for you at all?

I tried it last month and am sure it upped my ph but in process of trying again - replens worked a bit but didn't keep it down for long

How long is not long on the Replens?? Also, RePhresh is the stuff that is REALLY good at lowering pH>

lowered it for a few hours (about 3). The cranberry pills were definitely the cause of the bleeding as I thought I would take just one to see if it affected me then in the shower this morning I was checking my cervix position and (sorry this is tmi!) but I got a bit of blood on my finger as if I would be starting my period again. I am not going to go near them again - its not worth the risk of what other bleeding they may cause. I am really grateful for all yours and everyones help and knowledge. Thank you

Blood is more alkaline and it can increase your pH for a couple days after bleeding has stoppped.

Ah ok thank you

Totally! Great point Viene! You prob. can't yet know what your pH really is...give it another day or two and check pH and see if it's lower than before.

Also, could you reapply Replens to keep your pH down? Every three hours would be kind of a PITA though.
