It is very often the case that when a couple is told they have unexplained infertility they really should be told that they need to learn some more about conception, and not listen to everything the doctors say. This is because many doctors are far too quick to tell patients they are 'infertile' after just one year of trying - sometimes it just takes a better understanding of your bodies and your cervical fluid is one of the best indicators of when is the best time to get pregnant.
Doctors will tend to highlight the importance of measuring the body basal temperature and overlook entirely the importance of cervical fluid. The changes in cervical fluid are critical for determining when is the best time to get pregnant. The unfortunate reality for millions of couples out there is that the medical profession advises timing intercourse around changes in body temperature. There are doctors who go half the way and tell couples that the temperature measures will only give them an indication of fertility once the fertile time has actually passed, but they will still prescribe that keeping a record for a number of months and then establishing a predictive timing for fertility will do the trick (bad advice, and a waste of precious time). There is misinformation in both pieces of advice!
If couples us the basal temperature method to determine when is the best time to get pregnant, they may actually be doing themselves a disservice, as often by the time an increase in temperature is recorded, the egg has died.
Tracking changes in temperature is of course a part of the conception puzzle, but the emphasis the medical profession gives it as a sign of fertility is misleading. Recording basal body temperatures can help determine if the phases of your cycle are long enough to let an egg be implanted into the uterus, or to determine if you are ovulating at all - it can even tell you if a pregnancy has been achieved. This being said, it should not be the measure of your optimum fertile phase. Changes in cervical fluid provide a very accurate determinant of fertile times, so start checking! Women are most fertile during the 'eggwhite' cervical fluid days, especially the last day, or if you don't notice an eggwhite appearance, then the wettest type of fluid is your indicator.
Looking at changes in cervical fluid can make conception easier. Knowing what you are looking for is the crucial first step of tracking changes in cervical fluids. Volume, colour and consistency are all important indicators in cervical mucus, and these can alter considerably throughout the menstrual cycle. You can help to determine the best time in the month for conception by tracking these changes.
Directly after the menses have finished, there is usually not much cervical fluid produced. There is little or no cervical fluid produced for the first couple of days (sometimes as long as a week) following a period. The general rule of thumb can be summed up thus: no cervical mucus, no chances of conception. The next mucus phase is between the 'dry' time and ovulation, where the fluid is normally tacky, and cloudy or white in colour. This time is also one of lesser quantities of mucus. The next stage, only a number of days before ovulation occurs the cervical mucus will take on a moist and sticky feel, akin to that of a crme or lotion product. This stage is accompanied by a white to cream coloured mucus.
The optimum time for conceiving is during ovulation. When a woman is ovulating, this is when there is the highest production of cervical mucus. During ovulation the cervical mucus takes on the colour and consistency of an eggwhite which is why this time is called the time of 'eggwhite cervical mucus'. When the eggwhite stage comes, this is the time when the chances of conception are highest.
By taking notice of the changes in your cervical mucus, you can track your cycle more accurately, and always know where you are in your cycle. By observing the changes in your cervical fluids over a number of months it becomes easier to pinpoint exact ovulation times, and thus to pinpoint the perfect time each month for conception. - 29962
