Preseed experiment

Carrie

Just came across this group an thought I’d share my findings!!

12 cycles ttc, and first using preseed. 🀞🏼

Pretty health conscious and have these pH strips to check saliva and urine and what not so I started thinking about pH and ttc...πŸ€”

I am astonished by the results and it explains everything.. and why so many people fall pregnant using preseed right away!

πŸ‘†πŸ»Top strip is pre-seed

Bottom is my ewcm (on ovulation day)

πŸ‘†πŸ» and this is checking sperm/cm immediately after BDing.. (no preseed)

My ewcm and hubs sperm are completely on the opposite spectrum of the ph scale!😱

No wonder I haven’t gotten pregnant yet.. my body is way too hostile an environment for sperm to survive!

And explains why preseed helps.. it’s much closer to neutral and helps bring up the ph so those little 🐳 can swim freely

Cm is supposed to be acidic to keep out bacteria and yeast .. but Ewcm is supposed to rise in ph around ovulation to allow sperm to travel.. but I tested mine every day and never increased in pH.!

6dpo today! Super optimistic πŸ€žπŸΌπŸ™πŸΌ really hoping for that BFP!
