If you can detect when your cervical mucus is most fertile, you can predict ovulation and time sex to increase your chances of pregnancy. This natural family planning technique requires no extra equipment or lab work. Right after ovulation, the cervical mucus changes back to the less fertile kind. While each body is different, cervical mucus generally goes through several stages of consistency:.
Reach one finger inside your vagina; your index or middle finger is probably best be careful not to scratch yourself. Remove your finger from your vagina and observe the consistency of whatever mucus you find. Do this by looking at the mucus and rolling what you find between two fingers usually your thumb and index finger. If the cervical mucus is very wet, stretches between your fingers for an inch or more, and resembles raw egg white, your cervical mucus is very fertile.
Ovulation is pending, and it is the ideal time for intercourse. If you feel squeamish about doing a self-check, you can check your cervical mucus by looking at the toilet paper or your underwear, but you can usually get a better sample by reaching inside. The characteristics of arousal fluid are clear, wet, moist, and slippery. Unlike cervical mucus, however, arousal fluid dissipates quickly usually within 1 hour. Seminal fluid is released from the man at the time of intercourse and contains sperm and other fluids.
Approximately minutes after intercourse, the seminal fluid becomes very watery. If they are already there when ovulation occurs, they can immediately fertilize the egg.
To determine fertility, check the appearance of cervical fluid at least once a day, beginning on the first day after a period. Several factors can influence the way that cervical fluid looks, which is why a person should monitor the appearance and consistency over time, to get a sense of what is normal for them. Some people find that their cervical fluid looks different after sex.
For example, when semen mixes with vaginal fluids, this can change the appearance of vaginal discharge. Soap, lubricants, and other products that can also result in changes. Others produce no fertile cervical mucus, and this indicates a problem with ovulation. Some medical conditions, such as polycystic ovarian syndrome, or PCOS, make ovulation less likely.
Being underweight can also cause the body not to ovulate. As a person approaches menopause , they may ovulate less frequently.
Some people run out of eggs early, which a doctor would diagnose as a decreased ovarian reserve. This can cause a person to ovulate irregularly, if at all. Keeping track of the appearance and consistency of cervical fluid can help a person determine when they are fertile. This method is most reliable when a person has monitored changes in fluid for several cycles. Many people also use other methods of tracking fertility, such as basal body temperature monitoring and ovulation testing.
A combination of approaches can provide more certainty about ovulation. The body may release high levels of estrogen, even though a person does not ovulate. However, in general, if a person does not ovulate, they are much less likely to have fertile cervical fluid. While home methods of monitoring ovulation may help, the only way to verify ovulation is to see a doctor or midwife. I'm not sure if I'm producing enough.
