I have low estrogen from a BC I have to take for endometriosis,low estrogen causes pH imbalances. Can I use this test to figure my vaginal pH out?

It might work but I don't knowfor sure, It really works to see if you have a high acid urine which is not good for you. I like my sugar so I always have a ph imbalance.

The supplement will not effect the ovulation process of the test. The accuracy of the test is within 1 or 2 days, I bought the test for my partner and we had it calculated down to the day before going to the doctor for the official results.

no, never. and I've taken literally about 40 of these over the past year.. all clearly negative. and I have my period now so clearly, lol knock on wood, I've never been pregnant. if you are referring to the line that sometimes appears all the way at the end towards the max line, at the end of the absorption strip, that is not the positive line. That is just how it's made and that happens sometimes if I dip it too long. A positive line would be closer, much closer, to the control line. hope this helps:) if you are unsure, just take another

No it won't tell you how much of any chemicals to add to your pool, but it will give you info on what is low or high as far as ph, chlorine, alkalinity goes. The instruction pamplet that comes with the aqua check will indicate what a normal pool should read. You can add chemicals according to your pool volume. Hope this helps. I find the gage much easier to read than the color charts with the conventional strips.

Yes I suggest you try a side by side test to make sure. You can contact their website with questions. I believe they make a meter also.

I've used both, and got no response. I'm 8wks pregnant and am FINALLY getting a FAINT positive line. All bloodwork shows my levels are normal, too.

A second vote for Dr. Lee's book, WHAT YOUR DOCTOR MAY NOT TELL YOU ABOUT MENOPAUSE (OR PERI-MENOPAUSE). DR. Lee states there is no reason to use estriol, unless you have symptoms indicating use. My syptoms are that of Vaginal Atrophy. Otherwise Progesterone is the one that I would be using, solo. Because of VAtrophy issues, I use both and will test in three months via saliva testing. It is important to never use estrogen products on their own ( unopposed , because you don't want to become estrogen dominant.

I would think that would depend on how deficient you are in progesterone, results will vary. I personally had significant improvement within 3 days. Great product!!

Yes, these are strips that helps show your ph balance is acidic or alkaline. The healthy range needs to be in the 7.0-7.05. You can use saliva or urine on these. Urine is the most accurate but test the urine in the morning on the second time around because the first time you go to the bathroom the urine is too acidic to test the reason is because the urine sits in the body to long during the night. If you decide to test the urine just use a jar it makes the testing easier. There are several places to get alkaline supplements at Health Food Stores or on line. You can try this also but the taste is something to get use too but it works and is cheap is to take 1 teaspoon of baking soda per 1 teaspoon of black strap molasses this will help bring up the ph balance and if you need to double the recipe you can or take the drink couple times a day until you are where you want to be at. If you decide to go the baking soda route you need to put 1 cup of water on a stove until a little warm and then put the baking soda in and stir until the water is clear. Take the water off the stove stir in the molasses. Taste better when the drink is warm and comfortable to drink. You need to test your ph everyday because one day you maybe alkaline and the next day you could be acidic by eating something acid that can effect you ph and lower your ph in the 6s. Nothing can survive in an alkaline body that ranges in the 7.0 - 8.0 range. How to eat an alkaline diet you can get books or info on line if you have not done so already that tells you what foods are acidic or alkaline and how to figure what to eat with what to make sure you eat an alkaline meal. You can eat acidic food but you need to eat something alkaline with it to off set the acid to bring up the blood to alkaline level. It's not hard to do once you get the hang of it.

Well if you view Dr. John Lees research, the advice is different for peri vs meno and those with vs without vaginal atrophy that doesn't respond to progesterone. Minus the last point of non responsive atrophy, Dr. John Lee always recommends progesterone by itself, and never the other way around. Why? Because to use this by itself is setting yourself up for estrogen dominance. You really don't want to do that. Refer to his book. Most libraries have it. "What your doctor may not tell you about menopause"

The ovulation test did not work when I used it. But the pregnancy test work best. It was also out of date but store them in a proper temp. Baby dust your way.

No, it doesn't. My issues started with endometriosis. I cannot take estrogen as it makes this worse. Here is a good article that may help. I am currently down from 159 to 129. This has helped me curb cravings and I didn't even notice it was happening. It's a wonderful product. http://mindyourbody.tv/estroven-weight-management/

We have a pool and a spa. I use the same testing kit on both, the Taylor K 2005, which you can buy on amazon. You will need to test your alkalinity, ph, and bromine. You will need chemicals to manipulate out of range findings, most importantly bromine and muriatic acid ( brings down your ph and alkalinity). You may also need alkalinity up. My ph is never low! I really like this bromine, it seems to last longer than the bromine you can buy at walmart.

I'm not quite sure, I ordered these for the ovulation strips (which worked great) I am now 4 days past ovulation so I will start using the pregnancy tests soon.. Which made me do some research on how soon I should start testing.I read a lot of reviews etc; it has been confirmed that these pregnancy tests can actually detect as low as 8% HCG! Which I find AMAZING!!! Hope I was able to help a little :) GOOD LUCK!!!

As EdC mentioned, it shows "Potassium Alum" for men and "Ammonium Alum" for women, but from I can find online, that's just happenstance and Potassium Alum is better: better pH and less 'sting', but no quite as cheap to produce. A chemist could answer better, though. I've heard that men and women do have different needs in terms of pH balance. http://shavenook.com/showthread.php?tid=1838

My understanding is that it matches the ph of the vagina. However, I didn't find it as gentle as others have - I do experience irritation from this product sadly. I was hoping it would work but seems to be fine for many others.

Depends,A year or so maybe.I would test the PH with another testing kit from time to time.
