Question 1

i'm trying to have a baby i ovulate every month confirmed. i don't get any fertile cervical mucus at all. it's always thick white mucus. what can i do?

Accepted Answer

Evaluation: There are many reasons for not becoming pregnant. Ovulation is only one of them. A look at other issues would be beneficial.

Question 2

is there anyway to thin cervical mucus if its always really thick, even during my fertile week its super thick. how can i thin it.?

Accepted Answer

Guaifenesin: Guaifenesin, the active ingredient in Robitussin or Mucinex, (guaifenesin)  can thin cervical mucus. It is used around ovulation in infertility patients on Clomid, which can prevent the normal thinning.

Question 3

i am having ovulation pain but no cervical mucus the week i am supposed to be fertile, is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Cervical mucus: Some women do have notice or have an increase n cervical mucus prior to ovulation, and this may be normal for you.  If you haven't concieved in 6 mos i suggest intrauterine insemination to get the sperm into your tract.

Question 4

i have no daily discharge that i can see on my undergarments for past year or so. there is a roughly week in my cycle that i have "fertile" type abundant amounts of mucus, which i assume requires good levels of e2. so no daily d/c is confusing?

Accepted Answer

: Normal vaginal secretions are colorless &amp; odorless. However during.ovulation changes in color and consistency can be quite noticeable and still be normal. Your gynecologist can advise you best, however.

Question 5

how long after fertile mucus is detected, is the egg released?

Accepted Answer

Varies: An egg is usually released within 2 to 4 days after the start of the cervical mucus change.

Question 6

if i have no fertile mucus could i still ouvlate if the ovulation test is postive  or could it be a false postive ?

Accepted Answer

OPK beats mucus: Every time. The OPK are not perfect but they are highly reliable, 'fertile mucus' is very ambiguous. I'd trust the OPK everytime.

Question 7

i had lots of yellowish stretchy like dishcarge followed by positive opk, was that fertile mucus?

Accepted Answer

Sounds : like you cervical mucous is responding to your hormones .  It is a good sign.

Question 8

how many days before clear  cervical mucus can you be fertile?

Near ovulation: Anyone having intercourse without birth control or condoms may get pregnant. If you want to be pregnant then good luck. If not and if intercourse was within 72 hours you consider taking plan b. Plan b is a high dose of birth control to disrupt the hormonal patterns to delay or prevent ovulation. Abnormal bleeding after is common. Check  preg test in 10 days.
