Hi everyone! My husband (34) and I (33) have been ttc for about a year. My OB ordered a semen analysis for dh and a HSG for me. Well my husband's report came back today, and everything looks good except for the ph. The ph was low at 7.0. (normal range is 7.2-8.0)
Does this mean that the acidity might be killing the little guys??
Does anyone know what causes low ph? Something he is eating?

It may be his diet.. but 7 is like water so that shouldn't be a bad thing.

Hi I agree with pp, 7 is very close to neutral and on the base side so it should not be that big of a deal. Good luck and Positive Prayers and thoughts and baby dust to you!!
