I ALWAYS mess this up no matter how hard I try to get it right!! I should just not jump into the pH postings and screw people up. I do know that Boric Acid inserts help with yeast though. My pH runs in the 7.5 range many times of the month. One doctor said atrophy and one said no. My husband is always telling me I have it backwards. This time I thought I had it right! Sorry all!!
