Hi mears, I'm 5-6 weeks pregnant, and living overseas. Last time one of my colleagues who is a midwife did all my pregnancy care and I went home for the birth. I still have urine test sticks from that pregnancy, and so I rooted them out this morning and tested my urine. The ph indicate a ph of 8, which was right at the top of the scale, but everything else was normal. I feel fine, and the test sticks are now 1.5 years old. None of my books mention the ph, only glucose and proteins. I was hoping not to tell anyone here that I was pregnant yet, and to "book in" with my midwife friend at about 10 weeks.
Should I be concerned about a high ph? Is it just that the sticks are old? (dry climate and kept sealed since last needed, but even so..)
It is a pain if they are too old, because I can't buy them here, and they were pretty essential.
Any advice very welcome. Thanks a lot.
