PH strips no longer changing color??

[sosapop]

So prior to AF my strips showed that I was in the 4-5 range, but now they are not even changing color! I think my cm is in the sticky/creamy stage, not as much as usual, but enough to go on strip...Why is this?

could be it's not absorbing into the paper, or that your pH is the same colour as the paper?
the pH of creamy/sticky CM doesn't matter, though, it's the pH at OV that's important

I'm putting enough on it like I had in the past, but no color change... I read on another site that this could mean my ph is really low and that's good for swaying girl, have you heard of this?

If your CM is really sticky, it can take a while for the liquid to absorb into the strips. How long are you letting them sit?

Otherwise, test again in a day or two when your CM is more watery and it will prob. work then.

I let it sit or over 5 min, checking periodically. It is really sticky - and there isn't much. I usually have a lot...I will check, i have a bunch of strips so plan on testing once I am home,

Leave it 20 min and see.
