1/28 - CD 16...
I'm pretty much over this cycle and any chance of getting pregnant 🙄 my opk is slowly getting darker, but this cycle is looking like it may be the latest I've ever ovulated. I don't understand why it's been consistently later than it was before, only since I've started working. 🤷♀️
I said I'd post the pH strips, so here ya go. My pH is normal as far as what's healthy, however it's on the acidic side (which I completely predicted, and have been wondering for a long time if it could be part of the problem for me) and high acidity is a major killer of sperm 😔 here's something from a website...
Unfortunately, I'm approaching ovulation (finally 🙄) and my pH is 4.0-4.4, which is even more acidic than it was the last time I checked.
Here's what the kit looks like:
And this is the test strip, right after I used it:
(EDIT to add-- I just realized how confusing this is. I didn't mention that these test strips test your pH to gauge wether or not you have/are susceptible to infections, it has nothing to do with being conducive to sperm, but that's what I'm using them for. So if my pH was more alkaline (better for sperm) the test would be green, but it would also mean that I'm more susceptible to get infections.)
